The Girl of Colours (Book TWO)

If I had a Brain

"There he is." Clyde shouted as we chased the short little fat kid around this factory.

"Don't let him get away."

We turned the corner, and we had to stop because he was nowhere to be seen. "That's impossible."

Sarah Jane and I shook our heads, knowing. "No, it isn't." I was so much closer with Sarah Jane after the whole Oxford thing, and she did actually let me drive her car, mostly because I'd taken a test and had a licence. Her Nissan was so cute, I loved it. "He's got to be in here somewhere."

"he's just a kid." Rani pointed out as we headed back into a storage area. "What does he want with a what's it called?"

Luke answered without hesitations. "Matter compressor."

"Maybe he wants some matter compressed?" Clyde suggested with a grin. Brilliant.

"Whatever his reason, the Pharos Institute need it back." Sarah told us firmly. I was banned from the Pharos Institute after the whole breaking in to steal the flu virus fiasco. "Split up."

We split up, and I went with the boys down a row of boxed up washing machines, before there was a massive fart. "Oh, you have to be kidding me."

Clyde looked around with us, and I took Luke's hand. This was how I got started, against these idiots. Got stuck in downing street with them! "Did you hear that?"

"It can't be." 

Then a green light shone out then, and I put my hand up, ready to defend us from the creature. "It is. The Slitheen, they're back!" Then it ran out and knocked us over, Luke landing under me to stop me hitting the ground hard. "Oi! Get off me!"

"Are you okay?" Sarah Jane asked, running back up to us

"Don't worry about us," I told her, pulling Luke back to his feet as Rani helped Clyde. "Where did it go?"

We headed outside, looking around for it. "If Slitheen are back on Earth it means mayhem on a global scale."

"What do they want this time?" I asked, looking around, but I couldn't see the tell tale signs of them, the dark green fart colour. 

Sarah sighed, shaking her head. "Oh, the same as usual, I imagine. Convert our planet into cash." Yeah, sounded about right. I mean, they tried to turn the Earth into Molten Slack, and then the sister tried to destroy the TARDIS, along with Cardiff, just because she was bored of Earth.

"Then how do we find it?" Rani asked, looking in confusion.

"We'd need a bloodhound."

"Oh, why didn't I think of that?" She smiled, looking at me, and I laughed, putting my fingers in my mouth and whistled loudly. 

And then a few minutes later, K9 appeared out of the car. "Greetings, Mistresses."

I bent down and grinned at him. "We need you to follow a trail, K9."

"He can smell?" Clyde asked incredulously. "How?"

K9 turned to look at him. "Psychospore and olfactory sensors."

Not that it really helped him at all there. "Yeah, yeah, that clears that up."

"We're looking for a Slitheen." 

The little sucker pad came out, and his radar dish ears rotated, before he moved into a different direction. "Alien pheromone detected, Mistresses. Trail leads in this direction." And then he started off in the right direction, and we followed, looking around for where the Slitheen were.
