Alanna was about to go with them, but Jo saw how ill the woman looked. She grabbed her arm.

‘You stay here with me. Let the boys enjoy themselves.’

Alanna struggled furiously. ‘Let me go!’

Jo held on, startled, and suddenly Alanna went limp, collapsing against Jo. Jo lowered her to the ground. ‘What’s the matter? Are you all right?’

‘Tired,’ muttered Alanna. ‘So tired.’

‘Nervous exhaustion,’ thought Jo. ‘These highly strung types!’

She turned to see what was happening down in the gully.

Swarming all over the hovertruck’s driving compartment, the guerrillas yanked open the doors and hauled out the two army drivers, covering them with blasters.

Garon reached inside and turned off the drive. The hovertruck lurched to a halt. He ran to the back and hammered on the door with his blaster.

‘Open up! You’re surrounded. Open these doors, or we’ll use explosives!’ They didn’t actually have any explosives, but Garon hoped the bluff would work.

Apparently it did. After a moment he heard the rattle of bolts. Quickly he turned and gave the signal for Jo.

As soon as he was sure they’d got what they wanted, he planned to take over the truck, drive it to a safe place, hide the TARDIS and dump the truck as far away as possible.

Garon grinned. Or he might drop the empty truck outside the army post, just to wind up old Walton.

The truck doors started to open...

Jo came running up just the double doors slid back. But they didn’t reveal the square blue shape of the TARDIS.

Instead the truck was packed with armed UPA soldiers.

Instantly Garon wheeled round and waved his torch in a wide arc. ‘Back!’ he yelled. ‘Get back! It’s a trap!’

He turned and ran, and all the others did the same.

Soldiers poured out of the truck and began pursuing the guerrillas.

Jo turned to run and found herself caught up in the crowd.

Someone cannoned into her, knocking her to the ground, while the fleeing crowd passed her by. She scrambled to her feet and started to run on.

A familiar voice yelled, ‘There’s the girl! Get her!’
