Chapter 6
"Why won't you START!" Gary shouted at Buck. The silly truck just sighed. "It's because you've never fixed my parts." he replied. Gary cursed at Buck. "Forget it. Let's get going so we're at Sodor Mountain by sunrise." Gary told Buck who roared into life. They flashed the headlights and sped down the road. They rolled over the tracks and headed into the town. However, they had no idea that a small blue engine was sitting on the track by Gary's shack...
"Is it okay to go...?" Lady Hatt asked. Theodore looked out the cab window. "Seems safe. Let's go." he replied. Thomas was surprised. "What if I get caught or Gary comes back?" he asked. Theodore looked back as he and Lady Hatt walked through the woods. "Just whistle!" Thomas frowned. "But I can't whisle without someone..."
Theodore and Lady Hatt soon found the run-down shack. Unfortunantly the door wasn't opening, so with a good kick of the leg, Theodore opened it up. "TOPHAM!" Lady Hatt shouted instantly. A muffled response was heard from the corner of a room. Theodore shined a flashlight on the corner of the room, revealing Sir Topham Hatt, tied to a chair, mouth covered with a cloth. Theodore and Lady Hatt ran right over to him and un-tied him.
"Topham!" Lady Hatt exclaimed as he was finally free. Topham struggled for air and soon managed to gasp out a response. "Gary...Sodor Mountain...Benjamin...now..." he gasped. Theodore pulled out an in-haler and he took a puff. Sir Topham Hatt was soon ready to go. "We must go!" he shouted. They ran out of the shack, but Topham grabbed a pile of notes that Gary had collected.
"Sir Topham Hatt!" Thomas exclaimed when he saw the man emerge from the forest. Theodore entered the cab of Thomas along with Lady Hatt and Sir Topham. Theodore took off the brakes and started up Thomas. They sped down the tracks and were soon off to Sodor Mountains. However, Gary had arrived there and was all ready down to business.
