MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (6)
by John Yeo
“Racing down into the atmosphere, the unidentified object crashed, leaving behind one heck of a huge crater and a plume of smoke that could be seen from miles around.”
The news presenter went on to describe the ensuing chaos. All flights from London’s Heathrow airport were cancelled until further notice. Marg snapped off the rolling news programme and immediately contacted the Brigadier’s organisational London number for instructions. Marg was informed transport would arrive to take her to Dover, where she would meet Captain Scarlett on the super yacht “Bue Dreams”. A limousine called at Marg’s office promptly for the journey, suitcases were stowed in the boot and Marg was on her way to the docks. As she settled back in luxurious comfort, the car picked up speed cruising through the countryside.
Two very powerful motorcycles screamed alongside the car forcing the driver off the road. Marg kept her head, ducked low, and reached for her cellphone. Suddenly the driver put his foot down and took off leaving the motorcyclists behind, neither of them noticed the innocuous car close behind.

Watch this space Susan ~ The unfolding of the tale should create further food for intrigue and mayhem ~ 🙂
Marg certainly has an interesting life! I hope they make it to the super yacht in one piece so Captain Scarlett can help. He’s indestructible, so I hear 🙂
