He runs up to the woman and taps her shoulder. She spins around, looking confused and scared. Despite the fear on her face, Michael can tell he was right. She is beautiful. She has deep blue eyes and a perfect button nose. He has to blink to clear his head and remind himself he's not there to flirt.
"Sorry I scared you," he says quickly. "I just saw someone steal your luggage and run onto the train."
"What?" she asks, looking down to see her suitcase is gone.
An alarm sounds, indicating that the train is about to leave. Michael looks at the woman, then the train, then back to the woman.
"Come on," he says, holding out his hand. "We'll get it back."
She looks at his hand for a second. The alarm beeps louder. The train is going to leave any moment. Finally, she grabs it and he runs toward the train, pulling her behind him. They jump through the door right as it's closing.
Michael exhales deeply. "That was close," he says.
The woman nods. "So what are we going to do now?"
The train starts moving and a voice announces that they are heading toward a city far away from where Michael and the woman need to go.
"We're going to find the guy and get your luggage back. I'm Michael, by the way."
"Ellen."
Michael likes that name. Ellen. It's a sweet kind of name. It fits her well.
The two of them walk along the aisle of the train, Michael examining each person and Ellen searching the luggage racks for her missing suitcase. When they get to the end of the train car, Ellen whispers, "Did you see him?"
