With the excuse of needing to use the restroom Winona slipped away from her mother and headed off back towards the main section of the train station. The young bison girl didn't really like lying but it was boring just sitting and waiting for a train to come in. To be honest the girl was only mildly excited that one of her mother's cousins was coming to visit them. it was nice to meet new people but adults generally ignored her in favour of the small and more attention seeking Moloch, although Denim might be useful in swinging things in her favour.
A little hungry the white haired child headed towards the vending machines that rested on one wall, she wasn't supposed to be eating junk food but her mother never had to no about a cookie or a small bag of chips.

"We need a parameter set up around the station." Risa called into a small walkie talkie.
"Agent thorn-"
"One sec -." She replied to the tall man in a cream suit beside her, static and a grumbling of sound came back over the walkie talkie. She pressed a button and the item chirped back. "I don't care," she spoke into the black box, "Everyone on the platform should be evacuated by the next train, just make sure no one new gets in."
"Agent Thorn?" the man repeated.
"Where is the police chief?" Risa called out to her crew around her.
They all looked slightly puzzled.
"Where is Tami?" The man in the cream suit asked instead.
Risa whipped her face around and looked at the man in horror, "you lost her?!" she shouted before hurrying over to the car. Sure enough Tami was no longer inside. Risa turned back to the man and grabbing him by his purple neck tie she hissed in his face, "If anything happens to her you are a dead man."
Releasing the poor government baby sitter, Risa turned to her team "Fan out! we are missing a little girl with black hair and white ears and a tail. She answers to Tami and yes she looks like a mouse. Find her before the target does!"
Not willing to ensue the wrath of a pissed off head agent, everyone scattered.
------------
Tami watched in amusement as the grown ups ran around. Scampering to the nearest staircase she made her way down into the darkness.
The stairs were tall, but Tami had practice lowering herself and the sliding down them.
She continued to do this despite the grime accumulating on her shirt, until she saw a slight glow of a vending machine and an odd girl with horns.
Tami hadn't seen a girl with horns before. Fascinated she began to walk, on hand and foot like a mouse, towards the girl. "Howarn?" She managed to form, as she reached up to the girl.
Only then did she realize her mistake, and she quickly jumped into the darkness again. Someone almost saw her.

Winona's sensitive ears flicked at the words and she turned catch the mouse girl slipping back into the darkness. Her eyesight not nearly as good as her other senses the hooved girl sighed, bent down to pick up the bag of pretzels the machine had spit out at her then walked towards where the girl had from from her hooves clicking on the floor. " Don't be scared." Really she wasn't all that intimidating, not like the real Bison on her uncle Charlie's farm.

Tami paused as she was attempting to re-climb the tall steps to turn towards the girl. Don't be scared? Tami didn't really understand how not to. But the girl was very calm. Maybe it wasn't scary?
Tami's big white ear slipped into the dim light as she attempted to get a better look at the odd girl. Tami could see alright in the dark. It was different, but nothing was hidden from her.
The girl had a bag of snacks that she could see. It smelled like bitter yum and...
Tami sniffed and went closer, trying to identify the other smell.

Winona opened the pretzel bag and let the smell of the salty treats entice the other child some more. " Come on out" she wheedled " I'll share." Truly a rare offer from the normally food obsessed girl. Perhaps it was her innate herd mentality, a sort of automatic social nature that made the bison child try so hard to lure the other closer. That or the stubbornness she'd shown since the day she was born, either way Winona was far from giving up.

The crackle and pop of the bag created a burst of aroma for Tami to enjoy. Under the bitter exterior there was a soft, almost velvety warmth. It was soothing...
Not fully realizing what she was doing, Tami soon found herself next to the bison girl, paw up and batting at the bag that held the wonderful smell.

The much taller girl lowered the pretzel bag so the mouse girl could take one. " They're really good but they make you thirsty" Winona warned as she took the time to actually get a proper look at the smaller girl. The white haired bison child smiled softly " I'm Winona, what's your name?"

Tami reached into the offered bag and took one of the items. It was big enough that she almost had to hold it with two hands, but it looked so yummy. The other girl distracted her with the question.
"Tami" she replied, wanting to return to observing the treat. The smell over took her and she began to knaw on it. it was really yummy.

Winona smiled and watched quietly, taking out a pretzle for herself to munch on. The girl flicked her tail back and forth, not all that bothered that it's hairs were getting dirt from the floor on it, she could always bathe when she got home. This Tami girl was interesting and very different from anyone she'd ever met so far.

Once the small mouse had devoured the pretzel she held up her claws towards to larger girl "Moar?" She begged, unable to keep still now that she had found such a yummy treat.
---------
Above the panic was... insane.
"Fine, agents alpha to beta, descend into the station, NOW!"
"But Agent!"
"I know, but if there is a little mouse girl down there it is the same as if there were ordinary passengers down there. It is our job to make sure the entire station is vacated before they begin." Risa snapped to the man in the cream suit.
He quietly left with the rest down into the station while Risa and a handful of agents from Charlie remained up top to be sure that no one else went down.
Risa clenched her fist, repeating a chant in her head over and over:
"Must not get personally compromised by the situation...."
This was how she kept herself from entering the station after Tami.

Winona would have chastised the small mouse girl for not saying please but the bison child sometimes forgot her own manners when food came into play. Carefully she handed another salt encrusted pretzel to Tami. The Mouse girl reminded her a lot of denim, both were skittish but easily coerced into being friendly with the promise of food.
She looked over at the vending machines again " You wanna share a pop?" Between the two of them they could split a can before her mother's cousin's train arrived and the adults would be none the wiser.
Unawares of the ruckus going on elsewhere Samantha waited both for the train and for her daughter to get back from the bathroom. She'd have worried of the lines for the ladies room wasn't always horridly long no matter where you went.

Risa took two steps foreword, then on a third step she spun her body around and repeated the process. After five turns she looked down at her watch. Not even a minute had passed. She sighed.
"Bzzt! Horner from Beta, No mouse child, but there is a woman down here, she looks like she is waiting for the train...over."
Risa pulled up her walkie-talkie and paused for a moment before pressing the intercom button, "Agent Thorn here. Inform her that no trains will be arriving, and escort her to the surface. Apologize if necessary. Over." Risa removed her finger from the button and with her spare hand she pushed her hair back from her face, holding her had at the top of her head.
"Roger that. Over."
So much for a simple by the books operation....
----------------------
Tami tilted her head at the offer of a ... 'pop' having never heard the term before. Cautiously she remained still, and glanced at the machine the other girl had.
It was the machine where the yumm had come from. Tami cheered slightly, and turning to the girl she nodded, "peas."

Samantha was confused, why was there no train today she was positive her cousin was due today it was circled on her calender. " I'll leave in a minute" she grumbled to the person informing her as she bounced a cranky Moloch in her arms. Looking around she sighed noting Winona wasn't yet back from the bathroom with her luck those were closed too and girl was wandering aimlessly looking for a place to pee.
~~~
Winona smiled and went over to the machine, she pushed the button for regular cola and grinned when the machine spit it out. Really a short process before she was back crouching by the other girl and tapping the bottom of the pop can " So it doesn't explode." she explained

"Es... pode?" Tami reached for the shiny can. It fascinated her because of the shinny factor along with the tapping sound. So this was a soda. A metal device...
------------
"Horner here. She is waiting for something, and not the train. Over."
Risa looked at her walkie talkie in confusion. She could have sworn she said get the lady to the surface, and to apologize.
"Thorn here, what is she waiting for? over." It was possible, Risa considered, that the lady wasn't alone.
They still had to locate Tami, so it wasn't a severe loss of time at the moment.

Winona pulled the can back and shook her head " Yeah you'll get pop all over and be sticky." The bison girl tapped the can a few more times before opening it and taking a sip " It's a drink" she explained before offering the now safely unfizzy drink to the other girl.
