rodger pov with a thud rodger landed on his back he groaned as he attempted to get up before letting himself collapse again it was most likely better to let that.....thing...pass before he got up his revolver was tucked in his pocket before looking over at toodles who was trembling for her life why did he let her come.....sure it was just going to be a food supply run, meet dyle at the rail roads and get back to the others....but he wasnt expecting to run into....him.... as the large beast that looked awfully like dandy (probably because it was) tramped is way through the forrest...it doesnt seem to be looking for them.....most likely looking for astro.....rodger rubbed his head before getting up and taking toodles hand. "lets go.....hes gone.." toodles nodded...the poor girl hasnt spoken in a week......rodger sighed before starting to walk...he knew were the railroad was but.....it was getting there that was the problem....dyle would give them the food and drive them to the closest area to their hide out before dropping them off....dyle and rodger of course never saw eye to eyes but...it was food and thats exactly what they need right now. rodgers train of thought was stopped by a sound of a whistle......the train whistle...."thank god...." *rodger and toodles quickened their pace before finding themselves at the clearing. and there he was just now stopping. as dyle stepped off his train he sighed. "you know....dandy is getting more suspicious of me... if luck has it ill be able to make 2 more of these runs without being caught." rodger nodded "....how much did you bring this time" dyles normal cocky smirk returns "a whole months worth....but i aught to warn you....the others havent been making it to the railroad as often" rodgers heart stopped for a moment and he could feel toodles go still for a second before they both said at the exact same time "did he find them?!" dyle shook his head "astro and most of the others are fine....but bobbette is losing it he turned half the forest into a ice wasteland in a temper tantrum" rodger sighed at least everone was alive....toodles tugged on his arm ".....are....we going to find them fast enough...?" and rodgers eyes widened...the problem was....that he didnt know....he hopped...but he didnt know....".....we'll find them.....before he finds us...." and with that they got on dyles train. the trainride to the hideout was....long....it smelled like burning coal but it was fine....once they did get to the base and toodles said goodbye to dyle teagan immediately jumped out of her tent when she heard pebble bark "thank god your back....oh dear your glass is cracked....." truth be told rodger hadnt even realized but he shrugged it off and sat the supplies down next to the camp fire that was still out. "its fine.....just get toodles patched up" teagan nodded and started to address the crack in toodles head. goob skipped himself over to rodger as rodger sat down. "how'd it go?" he said hopingly but rodger knew what he was really asking "no we didnt find scraps...." and with that goobs whole mood went to the gutter "oh....right...." goob went back to his tent rodger sighed and buried his face in his hands "..........we need to find them....." end....of chapter....?
