Chapter 2

I looked up at him. His name was Andre, as I had later found out, and he was the leader of the group he had welcomed me into. His words still echoed in my head, and they were being called out from the depths of my mind by an enormous mass of questions. "Welcome to the group?" I repeated his greeting in question form. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, that's what I said. This is a group, and not a mob of assassins around me, right?" He joked. I nodded, laughing a little as I got up from the bed. I stretched and looked around. The room looked a lot like a train car, similar to the one that had nearly run me over. Speaking of which... "uhhhh....How did I get here again?" I questioned, demolishing one of the questions that attacked Andre's first words to me. "We snagged you from the tracks over at the campus here.” Andre said coolly as the people crowded around me went away. “We almost ran you-uh….are you still there, Josh?”I ignored him and studied the room again. On the ceiling was a square of blue sky, similar to that on an old fashioned train. A room that looked like a train? Really, Josh? You obviously knew what you saw, didn’t you?I thought. A room that resembled a traincar was an understatement. This was the train that had run me over. I looked at Andre again. “Yeah, I’m fine, sorry.” I stammered. “Geez, you’re all jumpy.” A girl next to Andre laughed. I took the Coke she shoved in my direction and tried to piece it all together.
