Chapter 17: Rescue
The following morning all the passengers of the Golden Eagle went to the restaurant car for breakfast. Some of them arrived quite early, like Pa and Ink, while others, for example Wai and Pran, were still hesitating near the entrance of the wagon.
"So you're telling me that Korn got a bullet to save you? Why does this sound more romantic than how it was supposed to be..." Pran remarked after Wai explained what happened the previous night.
"Yes... I mean the first part of the sentence, not your ramblings about him being a romantic hero obviously. Anyway, you enter first Pran, I must tell the waiter to prepare something warm for him" Wai replied.
"So you're taking care of him now... this is getting even more romantic than expected." Pran added chuckling, Wai wanted to fight back but his boss was already walking to his table, denying him a chance to respond.
"You're here, finally... for god's sake why did you take so long to come here, another minute of the cheesy talk between my sister and that journalist over there and my mind would explode... come on, let's take a seat" Pat whispered as he went back to the table.
"Sorry, but you know... your assistant got shot and I wanted to know what was going on between him and Wai when it happened... at least they weren't fighting when Korn almost died" Pran responded.
"Really?"
"yeah, actually... he spent the rest of the night with him, sitting on the chair next to his bed, checking Korn every now and then, he even said that he will go to the hospital in Moscow with him. I obviously told him that it is ok since Louis will come with me... but imagine how shocked I was!" Pran said.
"That's just... wow..."
"Passengers, may I have your attention please? Perfect. The rescuers have arrived, we will be ready to depart in the afternoon after some minors problems with the locomotive will get fixed. Have a nice day" the director informed the guests and quickly went away.
"Wai... where are you going now?" Pran asked since Wai was leaving again. His assistant sighed and rapidly went to him.
"The waiter said that he cannot bring this tray to Korn's cabin because most of the crew is busy with other task... so I have to do it myself... don't wait for me" Wai explained and left.
"I don't know you... but even though this seems plausible... I think that this is just an excuse to stay alone with Korn" Pat said smirking.
"Well, we cannot blame them right?"
