Chapter 12 : Caught Red-handed
"We will board the train two stations ahead of the main station. This time, we will have to catch him inside the train. Last time, we didn't focus on the train. This time we know, so that has to be covered",Martin explained as Sandra parked the car by the roadside.
"I will come with you",said Sandra.
"Then who will go with the ransom bag?",Martin asked as he put on his ear speaker.
"The mother has to go and deliver the bag. He may not recognize her voice but maybe he knows her face. We can't take that risk",replied Sandra as she put her ear speaker as well.

They entered the train from the first stop. Sandra and Martin walked inside looking here and there searching for the abducter. The train was filled with army passengers. Suddenly, Martin's eyes caught a man dressed in army uniform sitting on a bench outside with a green bag. Martin rushed out from the train and he looked for the man when he saw the guy stepped inside the train to the other companment. Martin scurried back inside when he said to Sandra:
"He is in that companment. Let's go there!"
They both ran into the next companment inside the train when they followed him

"Mrs Liza, don't be scared. We have placed a traker inside the bag. Leave the bag near the pillar",an officer who were watching the scene from upstairs said over the speaker to the mother. The latter obeyed the words and left the ransom bag near the pillar and left.
Cameras were suspended at every cornor of the wall. One was forcused on the spot where the bag lied. Every action was recorded through the cameras and were seen by the assistant and the other members of the police department from the building.
"Tracker is on mark, sir. The train is reaching on platform number 1",the guy said from upstairs.
"All teams alert! The train is approching platform no. 1. Platform team, be alert and take your position",the assistant said over the walkie-talkie as he watched the scene through the screen.
"Phone booth unit is ready, sir"
The train released its fumes and stopped. All the army cadets get off from the train. Sandra and Martin were trapped in the crowd inside the train.
"Platform is full of army cadets",the assistant said.
"Sir, there are army cadets everywhere",a guy from the telephone booth informed.
"Sir! The bag isn't visible!"
> He grapped the ransom bag and left behind a duplicate one <
"The bag is moving! The bag is moving! It's heading towards Platform no. 2",the assistant said as he could track the location of the bag through the screen.
> with the ransom in his shoulder,he scurried on the rails and ran amongst the other train from the back where nobody could be seen <
"They can't find the bag. I should go with the team!",Sandra said to Martin inside the train.
"I will look to the other side, I missed it last time",Martin replied.
"Yes! Watch out",left Sandra.
Martin stepped out to the other side of the train where only trees and ground surrounded him. Sandra ran into the crowds when she reached the pillar where the bag lied. She abruptly opened it when she took out sheet of newspapers. She stared confused.
Martin scanned the place and searched through places where the kidnapper could possibly hide but found nothing. He went on searching and trudged quietly and carefully.
"The bag is heading towards Platform no. 3",the assistant informed to Sandra through the speaker. She quickly ran to her way at platform 3.
> he was hidden behind the companment of the train when he took out the tracker and placed it near the wheel <
"The tracker is static",the guy said.
The moment the train made a move, the tracker was crashed by it's wheel.
"Signal is lost! Signal is lost madam",Sandra could hear the voices through the plug.
"What??"
"Martin? Can you hear me?",she called out for him through the ear speaker.
"Yes?",Martin replied when he turned his gaze and saw the guy running.
"He is here!"
Martin ran on his foot when he entered inside an empty train. His eyes followed the guy through the window as he was escaping from the other side. Martin took a U-turn and ran after him, along with Sandra from behind.
The man jumped from the railway and collapsed on the wall as the train was passing when he grapped the bag and was throwing in the wall. His goal was to throw the bag from the other side but the wall was too high and he couldn't make it. He tried but his attempt failed as Martin jumped on him and pushed him on the ground. He struggled and was about to take off the handcuff he normally kept from the back of his trouse when he couldn't feel it as Sandra already took and handcuffed the criminal. Martin left a stare at Sandra when he turned the body of the man so that his face could be revealed.
Sandra and Martin catched themselves staring at each other in confusion as the man was none other but Mr James Brown.
