Train to Russia

The first time I saw her I was amazed. It was like the group of them had just stepped off the set of a James Bond film. The authorities at the Russian border consisted of 3 men in military uniform and a woman who may have took her job a little too seriously. Looking down the train I could see her standing in knee length black leather boots complete with buckles and diamond studded toe caps. A long way above her boots was the start of a dark green mini skirt along with the rest of her standard issue Russian federation uniform. She made her way down the silent carriage inspecting every single nook and cranny of the train looking for anything suspicious like hidden children in the storage compartments under the seats, or maybe even crates of missiles in Ali's back pack. The train looked like it should be in a museum. It almost looked like it had been cast out of iron. I was amazed it moved as quickly as it did considering the materials used to build the thing.
