As the train traveled through Indiana, the conductor talked to the passengers on the loudspeaker.
Bill: Attention passengers, our chefs are ready to prepare dinner if you are hungry. All items on the menu are ten cents, or less. The dining car will be closed at 8 PM. We should arrived at Crestline Ohio by 8:45. In the meantime, enjoy the food, and enjoy the scenery.
Only half of the passengers went into the dining car immediately after hearing the announcement. The other half decided to wait. Among the first half was Morgan, accompanied by her new love interest, Paul. Little did they know that trouble would be coming their way.
Paul: *Holding Morgan's hand as they walk to the dining car*
Ivan: *Walks out of his compartment, and quietly follows the pair*
Fifteen minutes later, Paul & Morgan were sitting down at a table, their food just arriving. Paul ordered a hamburger with lettuce, and pickles. Morgan ordered a steak with A1 sauce.
Morgan: Tell me about yourself.
Paul: Well, I started work for Oldsmobile in 1909. I'm a designer, and I've made some pretty successful cars over the years. I fought for a few months in The Great War in 1917, and when I came back, I continued my work for the car company. This business meeting I'm going to is to focus on more designs to make cars more reliable. What about you? What do you do?
Morgan: I live in Chicago, and work as a math teacher. I'm visiting some family members in New York City.
Paul: What do you do in the summer?
Morgan: I deliver mail. While working as a teacher, I only do it on the weekends, but now that I have more time off, I can work more hours.
Paul: I wonder if you deliver my mail. I too live in Chicago.
Morgan: What's your address?
Paul: 428 Washington Boulevard in Oak Park.
Morgan: I thought you'd be closer. I'm on West 13th Street, house 41.
Paul: I could move into your place if you want to live together.
Morgan: *Smiling as she blushes* I think that's a good idea.
Nearby, Ivan was watching while eating a salad.
Ivan: She definitely has a good voice. Once she's done eating with that man, I will ask her to be in my play.
Paul: *Yawns* I'm feeling kinda tired. I'm gonna take a nap once I finish this burger.
Morgan: Why don't you stop by my room after your nap?
Paul: I'll probably be there in about an hour. I'll knock three times.
Ivan: Three times. *Chuckles*
Waiter: *Walking towards Ivan*
Ivan: *Sees the waiter, and hides his smile by drinking his glass of water*
Waiter: Do you want anything else sir?
Ivan: No thanks.
