Wrong Bag, Right Time

Lewis Pullman x Reader

You’re already regretting your decision to book the late-night flight by the time you step off the plane. Your brain is a thick fog, your legs are stiff, and your eyes are burning from a barely-there nap sandwiched between two chatty seatmates. The fluorescent airport lights feel like a personal attack as you shuffle through the terminal, clutching your carry-on and weaving through a sea of bleary-eyed travelers.

You follow the signs to the baggage claim, your body moving on autopilot, ears still ringing from the jet engines and the tinny airline announcements. You lean against a cool, steel column, rolling your shoulders back as you wait for the belt to start rumbling. Around you, people are already gathering, faces drawn and eyes darting every few seconds as the carousel creaks to life.

Bags start thudding onto the belt, one after another — a parade of black, navy, and occasionally neon roller bags that look like they’ve been through multiple rounds of airport roulette. You squint, eyes scanning the blur of luggage as it slowly snakes its way around the conveyor.

Your suitcase is black, a standard roller bag with a scuffed corner and a strip of faded, decorative tape around the handle — a last-minute attempt to make it easier to spot in the chaos. When you finally catch sight of it, you push through the small crowd, reaching for the handle just as a kid with a Spider-Man backpack nearly trips over his own shoes, forcing you to dodge sideways to avoid a collision.

You grab the suitcase and wrestle it off the belt, feeling the reassuring weight of your overpacked essentials as the wheels clatter onto the tile. It’s a little heavier than you remember, but then again, you crammed it full of work documents, laptop accessories, and enough backup phone chargers to power a small tech convention.

Dragging it toward the exit, you catch a glimpse of your reflection in the glossy airport windows — hair mussed, eyes smudged with exhaustion, and your blouse slightly wrinkled from a restless sleep against the plane window. You sigh, mentally promising yourself a long, hot shower the second you get to your hotel.

The shuttle to the car rental lot is packed, every inch of space claimed by tourists and business travelers with the same dazed expressions you’re sure you’re wearing. You brace yourself against a pole, your suitcase tucked between your knees as the bus lurches into motion, bumping over the uneven tarmac.

By the time you reach your hotel, you’re practically running on fumes, dragging your suitcase through the lobby and into the elevator with a series of clumsy, exhausted jerks. You fish out your key card, nearly dropping it twice before you manage to swipe it through the reader and stumble into your room.

Your heels come off first, clattering to the floor with a dull thud as you toss your bag onto the bed. You flick on the bedside lamp, the warm glow instantly making the small space feel a little less sterile.

The water from the shower is scalding, and you let it beat down on your shoulders, eyes closed as the steam fills the small bathroom, fogging the mirror and making the tiles beneath your feet slick. You let yourself stand there longer than necessary, feeling the tension slowly drain from your muscles, the ache in your lower back gradually easing.

Wrapped in a thick hotel towel, you shuffle back into the main room, hair dripping onto the carpet as you flip open your suitcase, ready to dig out your comfiest, most threadbare shirt and collapse into bed.

But when you peel back the top layer of clothing, your fingers don’t hit neatly folded blouses or the sensible, corporate slacks you’d meticulously packed. Instead, you pull out a rumpled Led Zeppelin tee, its soft, well-worn fabric clearly belonging to someone who’s spent years living in it.

You blink, holding it up, the faded graphic stretching across the front like a relic from another lifetime. Confused, you dig deeper, pulling out a small mountain of band tees, a denim jacket with fraying patches sewn into the sleeves, and a battered leather notebook, its cover creased and edges worn.

Your pulse quickens as you flip through the pages, finding half-finished sketches, messy notes in looping cursive, and the occasional smudge of ink where someone clearly wrote in a hurry. There’s a faint, musky scent clinging to the pages, a mix of worn leather and old cologne.

“Wait...” you murmur, setting the notebook aside as you reach for a thick stack of papers wedged against the side of the case. It’s a printed script, the title bold at the top and someone’s lines heavily highlighted in yellow.

You glance back at the open suitcase, your mind racing, heart thudding against your ribs as you fish out a small, laminated luggage tag tangled in the zipper. It flips over in your hand, the plastic cool and slightly warped from years of travel.

“L.P.”

“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” You sink onto the edge of the bed, the towel slipping from your shoulders as you stare at the mismatched pile of someone else’s life spread across your hotel sheets.

---

Across town, Lewis Pullman hauls his suitcase up the narrow stairwell to his apartment, one hand gripping the railing as he leans into the climb, every muscle in his legs protesting the final stretch. He fumbles for his keys, and finally shoulders his way inside, the familiar, comforting chaos of his one-bedroom coming into focus as he kicks the door shut behind him.

He toes off his boots, letting them fall wherever they land, and drags the suitcase into his cramped living room, tossing his jacket onto the back of the couch. The streetlights outside cast thin, golden strips across the walls, and his refrigerator hums steadily in the otherwise silent space.

He flips open the suitcase, too tired to even think about organizing, and reaches blindly for a clean shirt. Instead, his hand lands on something stiff and sharply pressed.

Lewis frowns, pulling out a neatly folded stack of dress shirts, their collars crisp and perfectly creased. He blinks, eyebrows knitting together as he digs deeper, pulling out tailored slacks and a leather-bound planner with a small, discreet logo embossed on the corner.

“What the...” He flips the planner open, eyes skimming over tightly packed meeting notes, detailed itineraries, and a color-coded calendar that looks like the work of someone who genuinely enjoys spreadsheets.

He reaches for a thick, intimidating-looking folder marked ��Confidential” in bold letters, his heart sinking further as he flips it open to reveal a stack of professionally printed documents.

“Oh, no. No, no, no.” He lets the folder drop onto the floor, running a hand through his already messy hair as he stares at the unfamiliar contents of what is very clearly not his suitcase.

Somewhere out there, someone is currently rifling through his tangle of band tees, scribbled notes, and, worst of all, his heavily highlighted script for a new gig he'd just scored.

---

You stare at the suitcase spread open on your hotel bed, the pile of band tees and creased notebook sitting there like a physical reminder of the chaos your life has just become. You should do something — call the airline, maybe, or at least try to figure out who this L.P. is before their missing luggage becomes your permanent problem.

But you’re exhausted. The kind of tired that settles deep in your bones, turning your thoughts into molasses and making even the simplest task feel monumental.

You let out a long, frustrated sigh, rubbing your eyes and glancing at the clock on the bedside table. It’s already pushing 1 a.m., and the idea of trying to navigate a customer service call right now feels like a special kind of hell.

“Alright, fine,” you mutter to the empty room, tossing the vintage tees back into the suitcase and flipping the lid closed. You’ll deal with it in the morning, when your brain is at least somewhat functional. For now, you just need sleep.

You crawl into bed, still vaguely damp from the shower, and tug the covers up to your chin. The mattress is firmer than you’d like, the pillow a little too thin, but it doesn’t take long for the steady hum of the hotel air conditioning to lull you into a deep, dreamless sleep.

---

Across town, Lewis drops onto his couch, head thudding against the worn armrest as he stares up at the cracked ceiling. The folder of mysterious corporate documents is still sitting on the coffee table, its thick, embossed cover practically daring him to open it again.

He considers getting up, maybe flipping through the papers for a hint about who his mystery bag-swapping stranger might be, but the thought alone makes his eyes feel heavier. He’s not exactly equipped for a late-night detective mission right now, not with the remnants of jet lag still clinging to his brain like a wet blanket.

“Tomorrow,” he grumbles, kicking his feet up onto the armrest and letting his eyes drift shut. He’ll deal with it in the morning, when his brain isn’t actively trying to shut down.

---

The next morning comes far too quickly. You wake to the sharp, insistent chime of your phone alarm, the sound cutting through your foggy consciousness like a knife. You groan, slapping at your phone until it goes blessedly silent, and roll onto your back, staring up at the bland, popcorn-textured ceiling.

It takes a moment for the events of the previous night to come rushing back — the wrong suitcase, the unfamiliar band tees, the mysterious L.P. luggage tag. You sit up slowly, rubbing at your eyes and trying to shake the lingering cobwebs from your brain.

First things first: your own suitcase. You’d had the foresight to slip an Apple AirTag into one of the side pockets before your flight, a small, paranoid part of you always worrying about exactly this kind of mix-up.

You grab your phone, opening the Find My app with a flick of your thumb, but the screen just loads into a frustratingly empty map, the little green dot stubbornly refusing to show up. Too far away, probably. You grit your teeth, already regretting not springing for the upgraded model with the longer range.

You tap the call icon and put the phone to your ear, bouncing your knee as it rings.

“Thank you for calling Apple Support. Please hold while we connect you to the next available representative.”

You resist the urge to groan, your fingers tapping an impatient rhythm against the hotel comforter as the tinny hold music crackles in your ear.

---

Across town, Lewis is having his own version of a chaotic morning. He’s halfway through his second cup of coffee, hair still damp from a hurried shower, as he flips through the stack of neatly printed documents that had been sitting in what he thought was his suitcase.

Every page is packed with dense, professional text — contracts, meeting agendas, and what looks like a series of legal documents with a name scrawled at the bottom in neat, looping handwriting.

“Alright,” he mutters to himself, leaning back against the kitchen counter as he taps the name into his phone’s search bar.

Results flood the screen, a frustratingly long list of people with the same name scattered across LinkedIn profiles, news articles, and random blog posts. He scrolls through the first few pages, trying to find anything that might match the person he accidentally luggage-swapped with, but it’s like looking for a needle in a very, very crowded haystack.

He blows out a breath, tossing his phone onto the counter and rubbing the back of his neck. His manager is going to kill him when they find out about this. Still, he can’t exactly let a stranger hold on to his scribbled notes and half-finished script forever.

“Alright, screw it,” he says, grabbing his phone again and pulling up his manager’s contact.

“Sam, hey, I’ve got a situation,” he says as soon as the line connects, pacing a tight circle in his small kitchen. “No, it’s not like last time. I just... I might have swapped bags with someone at the airport, and I have no idea who they are, but they’ve got my script. And my stuff. All my stuff.”

There’s a long pause on the other end, the kind that usually means Sam is resisting the urge to throw his phone against the nearest wall.

“Okay,” Sam finally says, his voice a carefully measured calm. “Here’s what you’re going to do. You’re going to take the bag you’ve got and head back to the airport. There’s a decent chance the other person will do the same once they realize they’ve got the wrong bag.”

Lewis sighs, glancing at the stack of neatly folded dress shirts and leather-bound planner sitting innocently on his counter.

“Yeah, alright,” he mutters, grabbing his keys off the hook by the door. “I’m on my way.”

---

Meanwhile, your Apple Support call finally connects, a cheery voice on the other end promising to walk you through the steps to locate your missing suitcase. You glance over at the still-open bag on the bed, the crumpled script catching your eye.

Maybe it’s time to finally figure out who the hell L.P. is. You grab the thick stack of papers, flipping to the cover page and skimming the title. Your eyes widen as the name Lewis Pullman jumps out at you, the pieces suddenly falling into place.

Lewis Pullman. The actor. Bill Pullman’s son.

You stare at the script in your hands, heart thudding in your chest as the full weight of your accidental heist hits you.

“Oh, no,” you mutter, sinking back onto the bed. “What have I done?”

---

Lewis taps his fingers against the steering wheel, jaw tight as he stares at the congested freeway ahead. The morning sun glares off the windshields around him, turning the LA traffic into a slow, blinding crawl. He glances at the passenger seat, where your neatly packed suitcase sits like a silent accusation, the crisp corners and tasteful leather trim a stark contrast to the chaos he’s used to.

By the time he finally reaches LAX, the nerves in his stomach have twisted into a full-on knot. He parks and hauls the suitcase through the labyrinth of terminals, the weight of his mistake pressing down on his shoulders.

The airport is buzzing with activity, the steady thrum of engines and the chaotic clatter of luggage creating a backdrop of controlled chaos as he heads for the airline counter.

The attendant at the lost and found desk looks up, raising a perfectly manicured eyebrow as Lewis approaches, his suitcase clutched in a white-knuckled grip.

“Hi, I... I think I accidentally swapped bags with someone on my flight last night,” he says, his voice coming out a little more strained than he intended. He sets your suitcase on the counter, running a hand through his hair as he tries to sound less like a sleep-deprived mess. “This isn’t mine. I’m hoping the person who has mine will come looking for theirs, too.”

The attendant nods, typing something into the computer and giving him a weary, knowing smile — the kind that says this isn’t the first time someone’s stumbled in with the wrong bag and a panicked expression.

“Just leave it here,” she says, slapping a tag on the handle and sliding it onto the cart behind her. “If the other person comes by, we’ll let them know you dropped it off.”

Lewis hesitates, fingers still wrapped around the handle, his brain fighting a ridiculous urge to hold onto the bag a little longer. He gives it a final, reluctant nudge, watching as the cart wheels it away and disappears into the maze of behind-the-scenes airport chaos.

With a deep, tired sigh, he turns and heads back to his car, hands shoved into his pockets as the sounds of the bustling terminal fade behind him.

---

Meanwhile, back in your hotel room, you’ve entered the frantic, mildly horrifying phase of a full-on internet spiral. Your laptop is balanced precariously on the edge of the bed, multiple tabs open on Lewis Pullman.

You grab your phone, pacing the small stretch of carpet between the bed and the window as you pull up his IMDb page, half-hoping there’ll be a contact button you can just click to resolve this mess. But of course, there isn’t. The closest you get is a list of his past projects and a handful of magazine interviews that all seem to paint him as the down-to-earth, quietly intense type.

Finally, after what feels like a small eternity of frantic googling, you stumble across what you think might be his manager’s number, tucked away on an obscure industry listing. You dial it, hands shaking a little as the line rings, each passing second making your pulse thud harder against your ribs.

Voicemail.

You hang up, your breath coming out in a short, frustrated huff as you toss your phone onto the bed. You’re tempted to try again, maybe leave a message this time, but something about the whole situation already feels too much like a scene from a bad rom-com, and you’re not sure you can handle the embarrassment of leaving a rambling, half-panicked voicemail for a guy you’ve never even met.

Finally, you decide to cut your losses and head back to the airport, clutching Lewis’s battered suitcase like a lifeline as you weave through the bustling lobby and make a beeline for the lost and found desk.

An attendant is sitting there, her expression unimpressed as she types away at her computer. You clear your throat, shifting your weight nervously as you set the bag on the counter.

“Hi, I think I accidentally swapped bags with someone on my flight last night,” you say, trying to keep your voice steady. “I just... I just want to leave this here, in case they come looking for it. It’s got a lot of their stuff in it, and I’m, um, really hoping mine is still somewhere in the system.”

The attendant glances at you over the top of her computer, her expression a mix of boredom and mild curiosity. She slaps a tag onto the handle of the suitcase and adds it to the same cart Lewis’s bag disappeared on earlier.

“We’ll call you if we find anything,” she says, already turning back to her screen.

You nod, swallowing the lump in your throat as you scribble your name and number on the form she slides your way. It feels weirdly final, like you’re closing the book on a strange, mildly mortifying chapter of your life.

---

A few weeks pass, and the whole suitcase fiasco slowly slips into the background noise of your daily routine — a bizarre, slightly embarrassing story you’ll probably share with friends over drinks someday.

But then, just as you’re starting to convince yourself that you’ll never see your meticulously packed suitcase again, your phone buzzes with a call from an unknown number.

“Hello?” you say, balancing your phone against your shoulder as you fumble with your laptop.

“Hi, this is LAX Lost and Found. We’ve located your suitcase. You can come pick it up anytime this evening.”

---

You arrive at the counter a little breathless, the memory of your original suitcase still a fresh sting as you approach. But just as you step up to the desk, another figure rushes up beside you, his sneakers squeaking against the polished tile.

“Hi, I’m here to pick up my suitcase —” you both start, your voices overlapping in a messy, tangled echo.

You glance at each other, both of you wide-eyed and a little winded, and then immediately look away, the awkward tension settling like a heavy fog. He’s tall, a little scruffy around the edges, his hair tousled like he’s run his hands through it one too many times. There’s a brief flicker of recognition in his eyes, like he’s trying to place you, but then he quickly looks down, rubbing the back of his neck as if he’s suddenly aware of how tightly the air feels around you both.

The attendant rolls her eyes, bending to grab two identical suitcases from the back, her movements sharp with barely disguised exasperation.

“Here,” she says, shoving both bags onto the counter with a loud thunk. “I assume you two know which is which this time?”

You and Lewis both reach for your respective bags, pausing to double-check the scuffs and ID tags, even unzipping the top a few inches just to be sure.

When you both exhale in relief, catching each other’s eye for a split second, his mouth opens, closes, and then opens again, like he’s trying to catch the right words before they slip away.

“Uh, hey,” he starts, one hand gripping the handle of his suitcase, the other half-raised in a tentative gesture. “I, uh... just wanted to say thanks for, you know, bringing my stuff back. I know that, uh, it probably... wasn’t the most convenient thing.” He lets out a little breathy chuckle, eyes dropping to his shoes for a second. “I mean, I’m not sure what I would’ve done if you hadn’t.”

You let out a small, relieved laugh, the lingering tension breaking like the first crack of a smile after a long, awkward silence.

“No, it’s fine. I... kinda panicked when I realized what I had. Almost didn’t want to touch anything, but, uh... yeah.” You bite your lip, feeling a little of the same nervous energy radiating off him.

He nods, his shoulders relaxing a bit, and he shifts his weight from one foot to the other, like he’s working up the nerve for something.

“So, uh...” he hesitates, his gaze flicking back up to yours, the corners of his mouth twitching in a hesitant, lopsided grin. “Maybe we could, I dunno, grab a coffee sometime? Or, uh, dinner, if that’s... less weird?”

You blink, a little caught off guard by the sudden offer, but the earnest, slightly flustered look on his face makes it hard not to smile.

“Yeah,” you say, nodding before you can second-guess yourself. “Dinner sounds nice.”

“Cool, cool,” he says quickly, letting out a breath that sounds suspiciously like a silent cheer. He fumbles for his phone, nearly dropping it as he tries to unlock it with one hand, his cheeks turning a little pink. “Uh, here, just... give me your number and I’ll... yeah.”

You chuckle, tapping your info into his phone as he watches, his eyes crinkling at the edges when you hand it back.

“Alright, well... I’ll text you,” he says, stepping back with a little half-wave. “Thanks again. Seriously.”

You nod, your heart doing an odd little flip as you watch him turn and weave back into the airport crowd, his suitcase rolling behind him, the wheels clattering against the polished floor.

"In Washington D.C., a sophisticated sewage treatment plant is turning the capital’s waste into a form of capital: living capital that is fertilizing the gardens of farms of the Mid-Atlantic region and saving vast quantities of resources.

Described by the workers’ there as a “resource recovery plant,” D.C. Water run a biogas plant and high-quality fertilizer production in the course of their dirty duty to ensure the city’s waste finds a safe endpoint.

The nation’s capital is exceptional at producing waste from the toilet bowls of the 2.2 million people who live, work, and commute through the city and its suburbs.

Reporting by Lina Zeldovich reveals that rather than trucking it all to a landfill, D.C. Water extract an awful lot of value from the capital crap, by looking at it as a resource to send through the world’s largest advanced wastewater treatment plant, which uses a “thermal hydrolysis process” in which it is sterilized, broken down, and shipped off for processing into “Bloom,” a nitrogen-rich, slow-release fertilizer product. 

The other “Black Gold”

At their facility in southwest Washington, huge aeration tanks percolate the poo of everyone from tourists to the President. After it’s all fed into enormous pressure cookers where, under the gravity of six earth atmospheres and 300°F, the vast black sludge is rendered harmless.

Next this “Black Gold,” as Zeldovich described it, is pumped into massive bacterial-rich tanks where microbes breakdown large molecules like fats, proteins, and carbs into smaller components, shrinking the overall tonnage of sewage to 450 tons per day down from 1,100 at the start of the process.

This mass-micro-munching also produces methane, which when fed into an onsite turbine, generates a whopping 10 megawatts of green energy which can power 8,000 nearby homes. [Note: Natural gas (which is mostly methane) is definitely greener than coal and oil, but it still causes a significant amount of emissions and greenhouse gases.] The 450 tons of remaining waste from the D.C. feces are sent into another room where conveyor belts ring out excess fluid before feeding it through large rollers which squash it into small congregate chunks.

D.C. Water sends this to another company called Homestead Gardens for drying, aging, and packaging before it’s sold as Bloom.

“I grow everything with it, squashes, tomatoes, eggplants,” Bill Brower, one of the plant’s engineers, tells Zeldovich. “Everything grows great and tastes great,” he adds.

“And I’m not the only one who thinks so. We’ve heard from a lot of people that they’ve got the best response they’ve ever seen from the plants. Particularly with leafy greens because that nitrogen boost does well with leafy plants. And the plants seem to have fewer diseases and fewer pests around—probably because Bloom helps build healthy soils.”

While farms around the country are facing nutrient depletion in soils from over-farming, turning to synthetic fertilizers to make up the difference, introducing more such thermal hydrolysis plants could truly revolutionize the way humans look at their feces—as a way of restoring the country’s soils rather than polluting them. As Mike Rowe would say, it only takes a person who’s willing to get their hands dirty."

Northtown Maintenance-of-Way, part 3

For the final part of this mini-series, I'll be focusing on a few miscellaneous, specialized machines used in the track maintenance process. Each one's role can be done by other, less specialized machines, but it would be a good deal harder.

This is a Mineral Products Inc. Multi-Purpose Machine. It's a mechanical jack of all trades, used for everything from trenching to blowing snow off of tracks. Its most common use is as a 'yard cleaner': the big broom mounted to the front picks up material between the rails and loads it onto a conveyor belt, which can dump it off to the side or into a towed railcar. Another popular job is snow removal: the broom is exchanged for an auger system, and the rear-most conveyor can be replaced with an impeller fan and chute. MPI's website says the machine can move 2000 pounds of snow per hour, and the blower can fling it up to 150 feet away from the tracks. Because it's not limited to just the rails, it can also be used on yard roads & parking lots. Other attachments include a trencher, air blower, rotary broom, and a hydraulic arm which can be fitted with its own range of attachments. I'm starting to sound like a shill here... but it is a pretty cool piece of kit.

The next piece of machinery is Herzog's ACT, or Automated Conveyor Train. It's a special set of cars which uses a conveyor system and swinging boom to "precisely" drop ballast where it's needed. The yellow thing seen above is the train's main power unit. I don't know if it uses hydraulic or electric motors, but this car powers them. Each train set has up to 30 cars, which are just high-side gondolas with conveyors in the bottom. Each car has its own conveyor, which dumps into the next car's conveyor through a small hopper.

A closer look at the connection between cars. I don't know if the water is from recent rains or the train's dust suppression system.

And here's the 'front' of the train, which is really the end. It features the operator's cabin and the most important bit, the unloading arm. It can move ballast 50 feet from the center of the tracks, according to Herzog's website. Conveyor trains like this one are mostly used for filling in washed-out track beds, but can also strategically place piles of ballast for future projects. As of writing this post, the control car is still less than a year old. It really is the cutting edge of ballast-dropping technology!

The last machine is another Herzog product: the creatively-named Rail Unloading Machine. It looks complicated, but is actually quite simple. A crane arm feeds sticks of continuously-welded rail (CWR) into a roller system, which feeds it forward (backwards, really) through two clamps and onto the ground.

A view of the other side. Same deal, but all folded up. Check out the flex on that arm!

How to Maintain Powered Roller Conveyors for Long-Lasting Performance

Powered roller conveyors are vital components in various industries, ensuring smooth and efficient material handling. To maximize their lifespan and maintain optimal performance, regular maintenance is essential. Here’s a guide to keeping your powered roller conveyor in top condition:

1. Establish a Maintenance Schedule

Develop a routine maintenance schedule tailored to your conveyor’s usage and operational environment. For high-usage conveyors, consider weekly checks; for less frequently used systems, monthly maintenance may suffice.

2. Regular Cleaning

Dirt and debris can accumulate on rollers and affect the conveyor’s efficiency.

Tip: Use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the rollers and frame regularly.

Avoid: Using water or harsh chemicals, which may corrode the components unless the conveyor is designed for wet environments.

3. Inspect Rollers and Bearings

Over time, rollers and bearings can wear out or become misaligned.

What to Look For: Uneven roller movement, unusual noises, or visible wear and tear.

Action: Replace damaged rollers and lubricate bearings as needed to ensure smooth operation.

4. Check the Belt Tension and Alignment

If your powered roller conveyor uses a belt-driven system, improper tension or misalignment can cause operational inefficiencies.

How to Test: Observe the belt while the conveyor is running to ensure it tracks correctly without slipping.

Adjustment: Tighten or align the belt according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

5. Monitor Motor and Drive Systems

The motor and drive system are the heart of your conveyor.

Inspection Tips: Check for overheating, vibrations, or irregular power draw.

Maintenance Steps: Ensure all connections are secure, and schedule periodic inspections by a certified technician.

6. Lubricate Moving Parts

Proper lubrication minimizes friction and prevents wear.

Frequency: Lubricate bearings, chains, and other moving parts as recommended in the manufacturer’s manual.

Product: Use manufacturer-approved lubricants to avoid damage.

7. Test Safety Features

 Chapter 1:

The Meeting

Eminence, Missouri

Nestled several miles away from the nearest town, a factory stands as a silent sentinel, abandoned. Rising several stories high, its walls now bear the scars of weathering and neglect. Faded patches hint at the vibrant signage that once proudly displayed the factory's name; and windows once gleaming with clarity, are now clouded with layers of dirt and grime. The once bustling parking lot now lies empty, overgrown with weeds and tangled vegetation. The asphalt now cracked and broken; and the distant sound of wildlife serves as a stark reminder of the factory's lost production.

As one approaches stepping through the factory's entrance, a cavernous space opens up, revealing the remnants of a once bustling production floor. The air hangs heavy with stillness, interrupted only by the faint rustling of papers and the occasional creek of metal elsewhere. Blanketed in shadows the factory floor stretches into the distance, beams of light from the clouded windows above providing only minimal viability. A labyrinth of conveyor belts, frozen in time, wind their way through the space, their motionless gears and rollers covered in a thick layer of dust. Abandoned machinery & assembly lines, once the heartbeat of production, now sits idle and forgotten.

As the evening sun cast a warm golden hue across the landscape, a cloud of dust rises in the distance. The rhythmic rumble of a powerful engine reverberates through the air, announcing the arrival of a classic beauty; effortlessly navigating the winding gravel road leading to the factor. Its sleek curves cut through the forested atmosphere. A symbol of timeless Americana. As it pulls closer, the crunch of gravel beneath its tires echoes through the stillness, intertwining with the whispering breeze. The dust settles in its wake, leaving a trail that marks its journey. Each turn of the wheels resonates with purpose and determination as if it itself possesses an unyielding spirit; Thee Black Impala.

As the Impala glides to a stop, the engine's growl tapers off, replaced by an expectant silence. The weight of the moment hangs in the air as the Impala's doors swing open, releasing a burst of energy. Two figures emerge, their steps purposeful and confident. The soft thud of boots hitting the ground marks their arrival. With the factory looming before them, the Impala remains a symbol of their shared journey, a steadfast companion in this unknown territory, a vessel that has carried the duo through countless trials and tribulations. It radiates a sense of familiarity and trust, a sanctuary a midst the unknown.

Two brothers, seasoned hunters; their expressions reflect a unique combination of focused determination and battle-hardened experience. Together, the they share a silent understanding, a nonverbal communication built upon years of hunting side by side. With cautious steps, they approach the entrance of the factory; one pausing on each side of the door, double-check their weapons. With silver bullets loaded & knives at the hips the brothers exchange a brief nod before entering.

______________________________________________________________

Inside the dimly lit factory, shadows dance a midst abandoned machinery. A figure in clad worn jeans and jacket grips a silver dagger tightly in their hand. Its polished blade reflects the glimmers of light that seep through the dirty windows, emphasizing its lethal potential. Their eyes, fierce and unyielding, lock onto the monster before them.

A werewolf, towering and menacing, lunges forward with feral intensity. Its snarls ring through the desolate factory, echoing off the ruined walls. But the dagger wielding  warrior refuses to be swayed by fear, channeling their resolve into every movement. Dodging the werewolf's ferocious strikes with agility and elegance; reflexes honed through countless battles. Each movement is precise, calculated, as they maneuver with the grace as those a predator themselves. The clang of metal against claws echos as the silver dagger meets the werewolf's strike.

With unwavering determination, the warrior seizes an opening, their movements swift and deliberate. In a swift motion, the silver dagger is plunged deep into the werewolf's chest, aiming unerringly for its heart. The beast recoils, a guttural howl escaping as the silver's searing effect courses through its veins. As the werewolf stumbles backward, it’s killer stands firm, watching as the transformation fades, leaving behind the battered form of a defeated creature.

Sun rays filters through the factory windows as clouds pass, casting an ethereal glow upon the solemn scene. A woman emerged victorious, overcoming the fierce threat; her heart pounding with a mix of adrenaline and triumph. Taking a moment to catch her breath; her chest rising and falling with exhaustion, she gazes upon the fallen werewolf.

______________________________________________________________

Slipping into the abandoned factory with silent footsteps, the brothers’ presences are cloaked by the shadows. Peering from a concealed vantage point, they observe the valiant struggle between two silhouettes. Their eyes, trained by years of hunting, keenly follow each fluid movement, tracking the ebb and flow of the intense battle.

One brother, taller then the other, furrows brow slightly as his analytical mind works to assess the situation. He notes one figure as a woman with impeccable technique, recognizing the signs of a seasoned fighter. His gaze flickers towards the silver dagger clutched in her hand much like the one he too has brought.

“Who is that?” He would whisper but never looked away.

The other brother has his jaw clenched in quiet determination, watching with a mixture of confusion and concern. His fingers instinctively adjusting around the pistol he holds to his side as he eagerly watches the back and forth between his target and the unknown woman.

“No idea.” His voice low and rough.

As the climactic moment unfolds, the brother’s eyes lock onto the crucial instant when the woman strikes with precision, plunging the silver dagger into the werewolf's heart. Their breath catches in unison as the beast's defeated form crumples to the ground. With only a glance to one another they share a wordless exchange, a silent question amidst the darkness. Despite knowing that they obviously had a shared purpose; an uncertainty still stood. Was this woman friend or foe?

Standing over the body of her pray the woman wipes away it’s blood from her silver blade using her jacket before sliding it back into its sheath that lay against her back; tucked into her jean’s waist band. A subtle shift in the atmosphere catches her attention. A lingering unease prickles at the back of her neck, and she turns her gaze toward the shadows, searching for the source. To her surprise, she locks eyes with two men, standing just beyond the edge of the dusty streams of sunlight. Their presence, revealed in that moment, shatters the tranquility of the scene. Ones empathetic gaze meets hers, while the other’s expression reflects a mixture of curiosity and caution.

A flicker of realization passes across the woman's face as she processes the significance of their presence. Her thoughts race, contemplating their identities and intentions. But before the brothers can calmly approach and initiate a conversation, a sense of urgency and fear grips the woman. Her instincts kick into overdrive, and without hesitation, she takes off, her footsteps echoing through the factory's abandoned halls. The adrenaline-fueled rush compels her to escape, to distance herself from the duo. She navigates the labyrinthine corridors, her heart pounding in her chest once again, as she seeks an exit, a path to freedom.

The men exchange a swift glance, their shared understanding urging them to give chase. With determined resolve, they pursue the woman, their strides purposeful and swift. The clatter of their footsteps mixing in the empty space with the woman’s.

“Wait!” The younger brother called out as they gave chase, navigating the twists and turns of the factory with a with skill. As the woman pushes forward, hurdling over discarded machinery and debris. With each passing moment, the chase intensifies; the woman’s figure fleeting, echoes of her footsteps taunting, and the brother’s pace quickening.

As the chase pushes deeper into the factory's labyrinth, the woman spots a glimmer of hope—an old, rusted door at the far end of the hallway. She channels every ounce of her remaining strength, propelling herself toward it with a renewed surge of energy.

The brothers, undeterred by the obstacles in their path, driven by a shared resolve to bridge the gap between them. Their voices call out, their words laced with a plea for understanding and a desire to help.

Reaching the weathered door the woman’s trembling hands wrestle with the rusted handle as her desperation fuels her. Closing in the brothers footsteps echo loudly as the old brother pulls ahead, reaching out to grab the woman.

Within moments of the door clattering opening, swinging hard enough to hit the side of the building, and the woman stepping foot out into brightly lit outdoors.

“Hold It!” A rash voice commanded. A hand firmly closes around her upper arm. Stopping her in her tracks as the two of the slid to a full stop.

“DEAN!” The woman heard another voice call out, filled with urgency, warning, and caution before she had even turned to face her captor.

“Dean?” She would question as her head snapped around to face the man holding her in place. Her expression one of surprise.

“Yeah?” The shorter of the two brothers answered, his brow creased as he leaned back slightly; taken by the sudden interest as he looked to the other man now standing next to him.

“And Sam? Winechester?” The woman looked to the taller man now standing next to Dean.

“Uhh, Yeah?” Sam answered though it sounded more like a question itself seeing as this is not how he expected the questioning to pan out.

“Great, so you know who we are but who are you, what are you doing here, and where’d you learn to fight like that?” Dean demanded answers more then requested them.

The woman frowned at Dean’s insistence as she sighed and pulled her arm out of his gasp.

“The name is Saia; I came here to stop that werewolf. Same as you right?” She would ask, raising an eye brow and  resting her hands on her hips as she moved her gaze from Dean to Sam.

“So, you’re a hunter?” Sam would ask, motioning to her with his hand as he spoke.

Saia nodded her head but before their conversation could continue the moment was abruptly shattered by the distant wail of police sirens. The urgent sound slices through the air, carrying with it the threat of imminent discovery. The trio exchanges a quick glance, the unspoken agreement forged in their eyes. Without wasting another second, Sam, Dean, and Saia rush towards the side of the building, gravel crunching beneath their rushed foot steps. The pressing need to evade the approaching authorities motivating their movements.

In a seamless motion, Sam produces the keys to the Impala, tossing them to Dean before he takes the passenger seat. Dean slides into the driver's seat, his practiced hands swiftly inserting the key into the ignition. The engine roars to life, a powerful beast ready to devour the miles between them and the approaching police. Saia settles into the backseat, pulse racing as the Impala surges forward, tires spewing gravel as it hurtles away from the factory, leaving behind the encroaching sirens in its wake.

As they speed through the winding roads, the trio exchanges glances. Dean's hands grip the steering wheel with unwavering determination, his focus unyielding. He navigates the roads, his familiarity with the Impala evident in every precise maneuver. Sam leans forward, offering Saia a comforting smile, assuring her that where they are heading is safe.

As the Impala roars into the distance, they leave the abandoned factory and its secrets behind. With each passing mile, the trio becomes a formidable force, bound together not only by the pursuit of justice but by the bonds of friendship and the shared weight of their chosen path. The road stretches out before them, a canvas for the battles they will face and the victories they will claim as they embark on a new chapter in their intertwined destinies.

End Chapter.
