Chapter 11

Harriet Jones could not believe what she had just read on the communiqué that had just been issued from the Prime Ministers office. Even though there was no one else in the office she still read it out loud.

"From the Prime Minister's office.

Intelligence services had informed the Prime Minister of the entry into the UK of two dangerous terrorists. One is a Caucasian female around 20 years of age with the name of Rose TYLER. She will be accompanied by a male, also Caucasian. However as this man is a master of disguise we do not have an update of his recent appearances. He is either known as Doctor John SMITH. Both these people are to be considered armed and dangerous and if seen or apprehended will be executed as enemies of the United Kingdom. A special task force of police are currently handling this situation.

It is hoped this will be sorted out shortly

Roger Ainley

Secretary to the Prime Minister"

Harriet grabbed her coat and handbag and ran out of her parliamentary office. She was actually glad she stayed in London to finish off some paperwork before visiting her mother. She ran out down the corridor even smashing into an octogenarian MP, she thought he was from a Northern Ireland constituency and was as tough as old nails so he could take a battering. She ran down the stairs to the underground car park and jumped in her car. She thought it was lucky she had a speedy turbo diesel. As she started the car, she turned on the Bluetooth speaker and plugged her phone in. Then as she screeched out of the car park she hit her speed dial

"Access number?" a female voice said on the other end

"Communication for?"

"83 109 105 116 104"

There was a hiss of static on the other end of the line then a male American type voice came on the line

"Ah Harriet. What can I do for you?"

"This is an urgent call but do you know where exactly that special police task for apprehending those so called terrorists are exactly at this moment?"

"That is a normal police situation. We do not associate with those."

Harriet thumped her steering wheel as she flew past 4 speed cameras all of which flashed."

"Its not terrorists they are after. Do you know of the Doctor?"

The silence at the other end of the line was almost deafening.

"The task force is just round the corner from your current location. They have picked up the terrorists."

"Damn!"

Harriet saw the police van and 3 officers with sub machine guns getting out and heading to that small street.

"DAMN!"

She pushed hard with her feet on the break and clutch of her car, her tyres squealing as they sought to get some grip on the greasy surface. Finally the car came to a halt.

She ran towards where the police men had gone. She hoped she wasn't too late.

As she neared the corner she heard a fourth policeman shouting.

"SAFETIES OFF!"

She heard the clicks of the guns.

"AIM"

She heard the guns brushing against body armour.

"F…"
