Night 2:
While the evening was winding down, the detective observed some passengers retiring early to their assigned cabins in the sleeper cars, while others stayed in the dining and observation cars playing various games (monopoly, operation, battleship, Russian roulette....). By this time the detective had a couple of helpers, so they were sent to the sleeping cars to make sure everyone got in ok and were secure. The detective grabbed the conductor. "I just off the phone with HQ and here's the scoop: There's a duplicitous group of organized thieves on board this train. They call themselves the "Robbin' Hoods". They normally dress in red hoodies and play like they're Santa's elves in stores all over the country. They sneak into warehouses and steal all kinds of merchandise and sell it on Amazon. My guess is they're going to pick us off one by one until we're outnumbered, then take over the train after all the cargo is loaded." "How do they get away with selling it in Amazon?" "Easy. They hack into Amazon's account, take over the sale and all the shipping. They simply charge a couple dollars more for shipping and let Amazon keep the rest. The customer gets their product and Amazon still makes millions, so no one notices. These elves make several thousand a week from all the sales. They take the money and give food and clothing to needy families." "What's the harm then?", asked the conductor. "It's not a crime to hate Amazon, but killing and stealing is, so I need your help to stop them." "AAAAGGH!!", came a scream from one of sleeper cars. The detective and conductor arrived first, but the door was locked. The conductor knocked. "I'm ok," came a muffled voice from
@SaltySteve PE 's cabin. "I tripped and fell while brushing my teeth, but I'm ok." "Suspicious," thought the detective, but shrugged and thought nothing more of it. A shot rang out and screams were heard in the observation car. "Someone replaced the toy gun with a real one before playing Russian roulette!", cried
@morphe83 PE, as everyone stared at
@RBHeadge PE , the unfortunate victim. "IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?!?"
@NikR_PE yelled. Someone came running. "I have experience sewing up dolls. Get me some tweezers, thread, a bat, and rock, paper and scissors." There were several shrugs, but time was running out so the doctor was given what they were asked. The doctor covered the rock with paper and shoved it into
@RBHeadge PE 's mouth. "Bite hard and lie still." The doctor whacked him with the bat, rendering him unconscious, then he used the tweezers to extract the bullet and used the scissors and thread to stitch him up. "He'll have a headache in the morning, but he'll be fine!"
The detective went to
@SaltySteve PE 's cabin to check on him. Apparently the person with the muffled voice wasn't Salty, and had escaped.
@SaltySteve PE was dead on the floor with multiple stab wounds. A red pointy hat lay on the floor next to him.
@SaltySteve PE was lynched by the town. He was a regular townie.
An attempt was made on
@RBHeadge PE in the night. He was saved by the doctor!
