‘You’ll find more arms and ammunition in the boot of my car. Don’t forget, Mailer, you’re responsible for taking over the main gate. Outwardly, I want this prison to appear to be running normally. I’m expecting a visitor, you see. Now, are you ready? You understand what to do?’

Mailer nodded. ‘Got it.’

The Master rapped on the cell door and called. ‘Right, I’m ready to come out now.’

The warder opened the door. To his astonishment he found himself facing two grotesquely masked figures. One of them threw something at his feet, there was a plop and a hiss, a cloud of smoke – and the warder knew no more.

Mailer and the Master dashed from the cell. Another gas-grenade exploded at the feet of the second guard, who fell without a sound. As Mailer ran along the corridor, he saw the Governor descending the stairs.

Immediately, Mailer raised his automatic, and shot him down. Chief Officer Powers was close behind the Governor. Seeing what had happened, he turned and ran for the alarm just along the corridor. As his fingers touched the alarm, Mailer shot him in the back...

This time the prison break went according to plan – the Master’s plan. Vosper and the rest of Mailer’s cronies were released and armed. Warders were shot down and gassed as soon as they were encountered. The revolt spread with amazing speed. A party of prisoners broke out into the yard, secured yet more arms from the Master’s car, and began distributing them throughout the prison.

Prisoners were released and armed, and they in turn released and armed more prisoners. In a surprisingly short space of time, the whole prison had been taken over.

As the fighting died down, the Master stood at the top of the steps leading to the main prison area and raised his voice. ‘The rest of you, stay where you are until the gas clears. Get down on the floor. Don’t worry, you’ll all be released in time. The prison is in our hands!’

He ran to a nearby wall phone, ripped out the lead and began attaching a complex electronic device...

In the prison infirmary, Jo and Doctor Summers had just finished settling Barnham back into his bed.

When the alarm sounded, they felt as if they were having the same nightmare twice in one night. ‘Oh, no, not again,’ groaned Jo.

Summers went to the phone. ‘I’d better see what’s happening.’ He rattled the receiver rest. ‘Operator?

Operator? Look, will someone put me through to the Governor – ’

An electronic screech pierced his ears, and he staggered back, dropping the phone. ‘What the devil...’

‘Come on,’ said Jo. ‘We’d better get out of here.’

As they moved to the door it opened, revealing Vosper, an automatic pistol in his hand. He advanced towards Jo, smiling evilly. ‘There’s no escape this time, love. We’ve taken over the whole prison...’

The Master stood on the top of the steps, looking around him in satisfaction, as dead or unconscious prison warders were stripped of their uniforms and locked away out of sight.
