After his boss, Don Copal, threatens to fire him for getting bad clients, Manny steals a client from Domino Hurley, his co-worker. She is called Mercedes Colomar, nicknamed Meche, but is assigned to the four year journey instead of tickets for the Number Nine Luxury Express Train, which Manny thinks she deserves. After Meche sets off, Manny discovers that Domino and Don have rigged the system, hoarding the tickets for Hector LeMans, the boss of the Criminal Underworld. Manny gets his friend and driver, Glottis, and sets off towards the Petrified Forest to find Meche. Manny finds Salvadore Limones, nicknamed Sal.
