The whistle of the train sounded, bringing his thoughts back to the
present. He turned to see if the sound of the whistle had disturbed
any of the other passengers. The only one that seemed to be awake
was the woman with PC sown on her luggage. He still didn't know
what the initials stood for. "Are you restless too?" she asked. A
polite smile was written on her lips. Jim tried to warm up a smile
and send it back, but he only managed to put one kink in the corner
of his mouth. It wasn't that he was not attracted to her; just the
sight of her burned him to the core. It was just not the time and,
mainly the, place to vent the heat. "If a man wasn't restless every
now and then," he said, "he would never get anything done, that is,
anything worth doing." "Well said, I've always heard that if
something is worth doing, it is worth doing well," she said, again
with that fantastic smile that penetrated Jim's very soul. "Is that
your aim, to do what you do well, I mean?" "If it gets done at all,
I intend to do it the best that I can," he said. This time, he
managed to stretch a smile all the way across his lean face. She
smiled again, very small, then turned away to continue her
fruitless effort to sleep. She turned once more to glance the man.
He looked tight and strangely savage in a gentle way. Pamela Cross
was confused. Something about this man disturbed her as if they
were destined to meet again. She watched as he went to the door,
rubbed the fog from the glass and peered out into the darkness.
Then he returned to his seat for a time and sat with his saddlebags
and .44-.40 Winchester lying across his lap. The train was in an
easy run to the springs. He listened to the chugging sound of the
engine as it did its work; looked at the woman and felt a strong
stirring in his loins.
