‘You can’t do what you’re thinking.’

‘And what’s that, mate?’

Tear Brett into shreds, Molecross thought, but couldn’t quite manage to say it.

‘No, you can’t, Ace,’ rasped Ethan.

‘Shows what you know.’

‘I mean you mustn’t.’ Ethan pulled back and actually managed to stop them.

‘These people have to be taken by the authorities; they can’t suspect anything.

In fact, the safest thing to do would be to return me to the cellar so they don’t realise –’

‘Oh, stuff it!’ Ace hissed. ‘You’ve got about as much common sense as a bin-bag. We just got you out of the cellar, and you’re staying out. Come on.’

‘I mean it, Ace. You have to leave Brett alone. If you make this personal –’

‘ Personal? If I hadn’t made it personal, you’d still be in that cellar – unless you think whatsisname here –’

‘Molecross,’ Molecross said unhappily. ‘Will the two of you shut up? We must get out of here.’

To his surprise, this had some effect. No one said anything more until they had manoeuvred Ethan down the ladder and hobbled through a patch of forest to a farm vehicle track where Ace had parked a UNIT jeep. She helped Ethan into the back seat, where he lay on his back, teeth chattering. Seeing his wounds clearly now, Molecross realised they were burns. He felt dizzy and held on to the door. ‘Right.’ Ethan settled, Ace got into the driver’s seat. ‘You have a car?’

‘Down the road.’

‘All right. Thanks.’

And before Molecross could say anything, she drove away. He gaped after her. The bitch! After all he’d done, the risks he’d taken. Amberglass hadn’t thanked him, either – well, he wasn’t in very good shape, and maybe he didn’t owe Molecross thanks for getting him out of a situation Molecross had got him into. But that Ace girl was the limit. And where had the Doctor been? He was the real cause of all this trouble. Dropping in and getting people tortured.

Hadn’t even bothered to help with the rescue, only sent this obnoxious girl to do the heavy lifting. He’d been in real danger in there and –

It struck him that he was in real danger now, if Brett happened to check the cellar and come searching the grounds. He ran for his car.
