Maxtible stepped towards his friend. ‘Waterfield,’ he said urgently. ‘I beg of you, do not antagonize the . . . our friend.’ He gave the Dalek a slight smile.

This was too much for the panicky scientist. ‘Why do you constantly avoid reality, Maxtible?’ he cried, clutching his temples. There was a pounding in his head that threatened to overwhelm him. ‘Another man has died.

Can’t you grasp that fact?’

The Dalek moved forward again. ‘You will hide the remains of the human intruder,’ it ordered.

Maxtible looked down at Toby’s body. The marks of his death-agony were etched into his face. ‘Cannot you dispose of it?’

‘Silence!’ The Dalek turned to face the cabinet, but its eyestick remained steady, watching them. ‘You will obey.

You will hide the remains of the dead human. There are humans in this house who do not know of the Daleks.

They must not become suspicious.’

Waterfield could not believe his ears. The Dalek didn’t seem to realize that most of the servants had fled the house.

There was only Mollie, the cook and a couple of menservants left. Plus Maxtible’s daughter, and that strange fiancé of hers. And how could any of them think that what was happening in this house was normal? They must surely all suspect something. He looked down at Toby’s corpse and shook his head. ‘No. I won’t do it.’

‘That is an order,’ the Dalek said.

Grasping Waterfield by the elbow, Maxtible dragged him away from the Dalek a few paces. ‘My dear fellow,’ he said with urgency in his voice, ‘we must do as they say. We can’t anger them. Do you want to end up like that unfortunate fellow? How will you help Victoria then?’ He bent down and pulled a large dust cloth from beneath the workbench. ‘Wrap the body in that.’

Waterfield shook his head once. ‘No.’ His voice was dull and lifeless.
