Episode 5: Slitheen School Part 2

“I’m the doctor”, the doctor said, “And I know exactly how this boy died!”
“Well then, how did he die?” Mrs Harrison asked. Conner woke up silently but kept still, he opened one of his eyes to see the doctor and another teacher talking to two other teachers. The doctor saw Conner from the corner of his eye and Conner winked. He stood up silently and grabbed his fake schoolbag.

“I suppose”, the doctor continued, “You unzipped yourselves and knocked Conner out”.
“How dare you suggest such a thing”, Mr Ashmer said smiling, “But absolutely right”.

Conner threw his bag across the room and it hit Mr. Ashmer and Mrs. Harrison. They weren’t hurt but were slightly shocked, giving time for Conner, the doctor and Mr. Roberts to escape.

Mrs Harrison snarled and started unmasking along with Mr. Ashmer.
“Trafon, we are going in for the kill”, Mrs. Harrison said through her communicator.

In the heads office, the head span round.
“Halt”, the head ordered, “The hunt will be more fun, Fipsel, if we let them go for now”.
“Of course Trafon”, Mrs. Harrison said through the communicator.
“But block off all their hiding places”, Trafon replied then ordered, “Slitheen, cut of all their means of communication and any means of help”.


Meanwhile outside the school gates Mr. Roberts, the doctor and Conner ran into the group.
“Conner, you’re O.K”, Georgia and Zac said together. Georgia and the doctor hugged and Conner and Georgia looked as if they were about to hug, but then shook hands nervously.

“So Kaylie wasn’t it”, the doctor asked.
“Kaylie Watson”, Kaylie replied, “Like Emma Watson”.
“Like Conner Watson”, the doctor muttered looking at Conner who gulped, “Anyway, Kaylie are you sure you want to stay and you two as well”.
“You’re not doing that again”, Kaylie snarled, “I’m staying. I want to help my friends who are walking absent minded around the school training to go into war”.
“O.K fine”, the doctor said, “We need somewhere to hide and think up a plan”.

“We can go to my parents”, Georgia interrupted, “I haven’t seen them for more than two months… sort of”.
“Right then phone then up”, the doctor said, “Mr. Roberts are you coming too”.
“Yes, I’ve been trying to save people ever since I was almost executed by the… slitheen, wasn’t it”, Mr. Roberts explained, “So I’m staying”.

Georgia, meanwhile, was phoning her mum, “Yeah mum you there?”
“Yes, I’m here”, Elizabeth replied, “You’ve been busy then”.
“A bit”, Georgia answered, “Do you think I could come round, with some new friends of mine?”
“As long as you don’t have a loud party or next door will complain”, Elizabeth replied. In Elizabeth’s house there was a knock at the door, “Wait there’s someone at the door”.
“It’s all right I’m getting it”, Colin, Georgia’s father, said. He opened the door to reveal a fat female.
“Hello, I’m here to check your plumbing”, the lady said, “It’s free”. Colin let the lady in.

“Mum, who is it?” Georgia asked down the phone.
“Just a plumber-wait!” Elizabeth shouted, “We had the plumbing checked yesterday. What do you really want?”
“You’ve got me”, the lady said unzipping her head. Elizabeth screamed and put the phone down.
“MUM?” Georgia shouted down the phone, “Doctor I’m guessing the slitheen. We need to save them”.
“It’s a trap they’ll want you to go to your parents”, the doctor told her, “And we are trying to hide. The slitheen won’t hurt them. They’ll use them”.

“My parents can’t help they’re at work”, Harry said.
“We could go round to mine”, Mr. Roberts suggested.
“No they’ll think we’d go there”, the doctor said.
“My parents are working on the Spidership”, Conner said, “In Portsmouth”.

“I’ll phone my mum she’s got the day off”, Zac said, dialling the number.
“Mum you O.K”, Zac asked.
“I’m fine. Have you found out what Conner’s been up to yet?” Zac’s mum asked.
“No, not yet”, Zac said, “Can I…”, but Zac was interrupted by his mother.
“There’s someone at the door I’ll just get it”, his mum explained.
“Don’t get the door”, Zac ordered, but only heard a shriek in reply.

“They’re cutting us off from any help”, Harry said.
“What about UNIT?” Georgia asked, “You seemed quite chummy with them at Christmas”.
“You mean when those magnet creatures invaded”, Conner asked.
“That’s right”, the doctor replied, “Georgia saved that day”.
“Well phone then”, Georgia said. The doctor dialled the number.

In UNIT HQ the phone rang. Colonel Mace answered it, “Colonel Mace from UNIT headquarters speaking”.
“Colonel Mace this is the doctor”, the doctor said.
“Ah doctor I’m glad you’ve phoned”, Colonel Mace replied, “We got this message through the other day from outer space”.
“Who from?” the doctor asked.

“Commander Marr, the magnet warrior listen to this”, Colonel Mace said, then turned on a large screen and on it appeared Commander Marr. Colonel Mace put the phone next to the screen’s speakers, so the doctor could hear it.
“Earth, you are mad if you think you can defeat us”, Commander Marr was saying, “I am on the 1st magnet warrior conquer ship and you will be defeated. You tried to kill us, so now you will die”. Suddenly Commander Marr was surrounded by flame and cackled, although the doctor could only hear this.

“Interesting huh”, Colonel Mace said down the phone, “But there’s something else-…” Suddenly Colonel Mace’s voice faded.
“They’ve stopped us communicating altogether”, the doctor said.

“Right then there’s only one thing for it”, Georgia said, “Follow me”.
