Reign's sarcastic comment made everyone uneasy. The passengers expression soured, giving each other worried looks. Quiet whispers started to spread through the group.

"I heard it's been out of service for years," another whispered, eyes wide with concern.

"Do you think Lucas knows what he's doing?" someone else questioned, his voice barely audible.

A sense of doubt seemed to take hold of the group. People started to huddle in small clusters, whispering to each other.

"What if it breaks down?" a young woman asked, her voice trembling.

"If we're in the middle of nowhere," her companion replied, glancing around nervously. "We'll be stranded."
