CHAPTER 21. JADE 129 ‘Like poking a stick into a wasps’ nest,’ Trix realised. ‘Only worse.’ ‘Much worse,’ mused the Doctor grimly. Instinctively Hazel placed an arm around Cal. ‘But you said you could stop the nightmares.’ ‘Yes,’ agreed the Doctor. ‘I’ll need to - because the next psychic attack could be deadly if it goes unchecked.’ Hazel held her son closer. ‘What will you do?’ ‘Well, now that I’ve got the right frequency, I can come up with something to block the signal. It should act as a sort of psychic shield, until we can locate the actual source and nullify it.’ The Doctor got to his feet. ‘In fact. I’ll make a start now.

His head was pounding, and he could tell there was a big, tender lump on the back of it. From this position, however, he could see the big shape that lay beneath the tarp. Then he heard the garage door open and someone came in. ‘Oh, you’re awake,’ said Bernard Harris.
