Puffgarden entered followed by Miss. Nomer and Gilbier and Gob. “Now then dwarf you will die.” The evil crime lord threw the switch and pressed the button. Nothing happened.
“You are supposed to press the button then throw the switch,” explained Gilbier.
“I know I know, I designed the thing after all.
Gilbier and Gob looked at each other.
He pressed the button then threw the switch, but still nothing happened. “Stupid thing,” he moaned at the machine.
“You didn’t press the reset button,” said Gob.
“You have a big gob Gob,” insulted Puffgarden as he pressed the reset button, pressed the other button and then threw the switch. A hum started to build up in the machine then it whined as it lost power. “What’s the matter with it now?”
Miss Nomer saw that Biggs and the others had entered the room. Fawh was holding the plug and he had shape changed into a bear.
Puffgarden also looked round, “They got here a bit quick didn’t they. It’s not the end of the chapter yet is it?”
At last Sid cheered up a bit, “It’s about time, I’ve been hanging around for ages. I couldn’t bear it any longer.”
Biggs and the others laughed as Puffgarden and his henchmen scampered out another door.
