Lieutenant Adventures Series 12 Chapter 7 5 August 2018. Recapitulation.
Inside the compound, the Lieutenant raced through the building making sure everyone was ready. "We've got little or no ammo left," he yelled. "Be vigilant!"
Penelope was in the Lieutenant's office with her stash of weapons. She quickly looked around herself and then brought some of them into the TARDIS and hid them in her bedroom. She made sure to leave some behind to cover her tracks.
The Doctor left the TARDIS and left the door open. "Don't follow me until I give you the signal and last one out don't forget to close the door," he said. He walked up to compound gate and stood there analysing the best ways to go about breaking in. Then he went back to the TARDIS and stood outside, looking inside. "We can get in, that force field only works one way. I don't know if they've got extra measures in place by the doors but I'd expect they do. As long as they won't harm anyone, Kate, can UNIT place explosives at each entrance, please, to hopefully stun occupants and force entry. At the same time, everyone else is taking up their positions as we discussed." He then took out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the force field and minimised it to just the building. He also extended it so that it would be thick enough to prevent any harm to his team. Then he put the screwdriver away. "OK, let's go," he said.

Inside the compound, the Lieutenant demanded that every window and door be deadlocked. Then he summoned Violet to his side and demanded that all doors on the inside be locked and that everyone remain in the kitchen. Once they were all locked in the kitchen, the Lieutenant and Violet set about collecting all knives, forks and other associated dangerous things.
Outside, the Doctor, Kate, Osgood, the Brigadier and the Captain stood together.
The Doctor examined the building.
Osgood inhaled with her inhaler.
All UNIT personnel were in their positions around the building, all exlposives placed and remote controls ready to detonate them all. The Doctor hadn't been able to check enough that these explosives wouldn't kill anyone on the inside.
The Doctor took a brief moment to cast his eye over the compound one last time. While he did so, the Captain, the Brigadier and Kate looked at each other questionably. Then he nodded to Kate.
Osgood inhaled with her inhaler.
Kate gave the order to detonate.
There were a series of loud bangs as the doors on the outside of the compound were blown open by UNIT's explosives.
"Go," said the Doctor.
Inside, the Lieutenant and many of his staff covered their ears as the explosives were detonated. The back door of the kitchen flew open in one of the explosions.
Seeing this, the Heart ran out through the door. "Don't shoot! I was never on his side! I am on yours now!" he rushed before he was shot. He wasn't shot so it must have worked.
The Lieutenant saw him go. "Get back in here, Heart, you're not going anywhere!" exclaimed the Lieutenant.
"Sir," said Violet, "let him go, let him die. He was useless anyway," she said.
"Yes," said the Lieutenant calmly, "I suppose you're right."
Outside, the Doctor watched the smoke rise from each of the doorways of the building. Then he nodded to Kate.
Kate ordered UNIT to proceed and then went into the compound followed by the Brigadier and the Captain.
"Osgood, Iron Demon, Heart, stay with me," said the Doctor.
Osgood inhaled with her inhaler.
The Lieutenant slowly and quietly unlocked the kitchen door and peeked out, then went back in, got his knives ready and stood with them, waiting.
Kate, the Brigadier and the Captain proceeded around the inside of the compound with caution.
UNIT Officers had guns ready to fire, they exercised extreme caution.
Kate, the Brigadier and the Captain had attempted and failed to open the doors they came across inside the compound and found this very odd. Then the Captain spotted something.
"There appears to be light coming from that way, I think," said the Captain, pointing down the corridor a bit, "maybe a door is open further up?"
"Well-spotted," said the Brigadier, looking at Kate who nodded approvingly.
As the three of them got nearer, they slowed down significantly and whispered anything they wanted to say to each other.
Kate beckoned to say stop and continued cautiously towards the open door herself.
The Lieutenant hurled a knife through the kitchen door which stuck in the wall inches away from Kate's face.
Kate turned to look at the Brigadier and the Captain, shocked.
The Lieutenant hurled another knife through the kitchen door which stuck in the wall inches away from the back of Kate's head.
Kate beckoned to the Brigadier and the Captain to get to safety but they didn't move. 'Thanks for that,' she thought.
The Lieutenant hurled a third knife out through the kitchen door.
Kate made her decision. "DOCTOR!" she yelled.
Outside, the Doctor heard his name and summoned one of the UNIT Officers to him, he also turned to look at the Heart. He said to the UNIT Officer, "Set the building on fire, trust me, I'm the Doctor", turned to the Heart and said, "Be quick, go inside and tell Kate, the Brigadier and the Captain what we're doing and wait in there for the Iron Demon and I." He turned to Osgood, "Because of your Asthma, you need to stay out here and do some work out here for me." He smiled apologetically.
Osgood looked disappointed but nodded nonetheless.
The Heart entered the compound cautiously and made his way to the kitchen, knowing that the Lieutenant had locked all other doors. Before he got there, however, he saw what was going on.
Kate looked at him. She dared now make a sound.
He mouthed to her, the Doctor is on his way.
Kate nodded.
A few of the UNIT Officers outside had returned to the Doctor's TARDIS, collected some petrol, came back and were saturating as much of their jurisdictions within the compound as they could and then one of them took out a box of matches, lit it and then looked at the Doctor for approval.
The Doctor nodded.
The UNIT Officer stepped back.
The Doctor, the Iron Demon and Osgood watched the flames spread for sive seconds. Then the Iron Demon headed in the direction of the flames and entered the compound that way, losing his breath and coughing. The Doctor heaed in the opposite direction to the side furthest away from the flames and entered the building from that direction, walking straight into the kitchen.
"Who's he?" whispered one of the servants.
Hearing this, the Lieutenant spun round and gasped on seeing the Doctor standing in the kitchen looking at him.
The Doctor looked back and he looked extremely unamused.
NEXT TIME:
"Who is he?" whispered one of the servants.
The Doctor looked back and he looked extremely unamused.
The Lieutenant's and the Heart's TARDIS Cloister Bells chimed.
The TARDIS Cloister Bell chimed.
