Ok, next story in the Luke/Maria series. And before I even start, a notice. Although the last two stories haven't really been linked apart from the occasional mention, the events of this story have a impact on the fifth of the stories I'm posting. Plus, this story should be completed before the end of the month (Or even earlier). So now, enjoy.

Chapter 1 The Breakout

HMP Broadfell Two Years Early Midnight

The alarms were raised the moment they noticed she was gone. The most evil criminal in the prison, who had been inside for over thirty years. For she had tried to take over the world in the name of science. She may have escaped the arrest of Think Tank by UNIT but she had been caught by MI5 less than a week later and sentenced to life imprisonment. Yet somehow she had managed to escape.

"Find her, find her!" The guards cried, looking round the area surrounding the prison, assuming she had escaped that way.

Unbeknown to them, she had instead escaped through a series of complex tunnels that ran underneath the prison until she found herself in a series of air vent where she then pushed the vent cover away to reveal an underground laboratory. She was free and her new life was about to begin. But before she could start again, there was one thing she had to deal with. The reason she had been in prison. The infernal UNIT Scientific Advisor The Doctor and his associate Sarah Jane Smith.

13 Bannerman Road Two Years Early

After sending Maria home, and settling Luke down in his room, Sarah Jane was sat in the living room finally able to relax after the day she had had when suddenly the phone rang. She sighed, moving towards the hallway were the phone was.

"Hello" She said as she picked the phone up.

"Sarah Jane Smith" The smooth voice of Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart came out of the phone.

"Sir Alistair. Well, this is a surprise."

"Considering what happened today Sarah Jane, I'm surprised you weren't expecting this.

"Oh, you know!"

"I can't exactly miss an explosion at a pop factory now can I? Nor can I miss the fact that you've mysteriously acquired a son! Care to explain?"

"Sorry, something are best left secret."

"Indeed. Now, another matter I need to discuss with you. I assume you haven't seen the news yet."

"No, I was just about to put in on though. Why, what's happened?"

"Hilda Winters has escaped from Broadfell."

Sarah's face fell. Hilda Winters had been the leader of the Scientific Reform Society, a group who believed that the scientific elite should be ruled society. Under the cover name of Think Tank, they tried to use a robot to steal the codes for the nuclear missiles of the United States of America, China, and Russia and were going to fire unless the world came to their terms. After the robot when berserk, UNIT stormed in and arrested most of the members. Some, including Miss Winters, escaped only to be caught by MI5 in the following weeks and months. All of the members had been sent to prison, those who were of low rank for a few years, the middle rank members were just being released now while those at the top, including Miss Winters, had been sentenced to life with no chance of parole. Now though, Hilda Winters was free and Sarah Jane knew it was only a matter of time before the two women would once again come face to face with each other.

26 Charley Grove Hammersmith 21st July 2010

To everyone who walked or lived on the street, number 26 was an empty, desolate property that no estate agent could sell. It had been abandoned for over a year now ever since the Staffords, who supposed lived there with their son Ashley, had disappeared when everyone discovered that the Staffords had been lying about the identity of their son, who was actually the son of renowned investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith.

But what they didn't know was that the house had been bought by a Miss Harriet Williams and her son. But what the estate agent who sold it didn't realise was that Harriet Williams was in fact convicted criminal Hilda Winters who had been on the run for two years. She was using number 26 as a home base for her and her son. In reality, she had also acquired an old factory unit in the Ealing area as a base for her ultimate plot. The revenge plot she had been planning every day of her prison life and every day since her escape. The end of Sarah Jane Smith.

13 Bannerman Road 21st July 2010

The bright morning sunlight streaming through the curtain was the reason Luke Smith had awoken early. The lovely summer days were at their peak and everyone was excited. Luke rolled over in his bed and looked over at the sleeping form of his girlfriend lying on the spare mattress on the floor. Luke grinned at the change that had happened in the last few weeks. Maria had returned from America three weeks earlier for the whole summer when originally she and her dad were only supposed to be coming for her mum's wedding.

Suddenly Luke heard a sound outside his bedroom door. He watched as the doorknob turned and the door opened to reveal his mum standing there. "Mum" Luke said.

"Luke, what are you doing up at this time?" Sarah Jane asked, surprised that Luke was awake so early.

"The sunlight" Luke smiled. "It woke me up."

Suddenly there was a groaning noise from the other side of the room as Maria rolled over to look at the pair. "Urgh, morning!" She groaned before asking "What time is it?"

"Half past Six" Sarah Jane replied.

"You what?" Maria groaned. "Half Six! What are you doing up at this time in the morning?"

Luke grinned at his girlfriend. "The sunlight woke me up."

"And I'm always up at this time on a morning" Sarah Jane smiled. "You two don't have to get up yet. Why do you just chat? Quietly mind you!" And Sarah Jane left the room.

Outside 13 Bannerman Road, hid in the shadows of the trees, was an old foe of Sarah Jane's, watching and waiting for the right moment to take her revenge.

Ok, sorry for all the scene and time jumps but they are necessary and will not really feature again.

Please review and give me your comments.
