Chương 173: Chapter 173: Scope

Tom awoke the next morning to find the train car empty. And by empty, he really meant empty. There were no people and most of the crates and supplies that had been crammed on were gone.

"Good morning," he said.

"Morning," the woman said.

"You should be resting," Brooke said without looking up.

"I feel rested," he said.
