'Getaway' by Richard Dinnick |
When Parker agrees to give an old friend a lift, Lady Penelope and Sherbet accompany him in FAB 1; but Parker’s friend is none other than Light-Fingered Fred, in the middle of robbing a diamond facility with fellow crook Gomez, and in need of a getaway car! The two villains steal FAB 1 and Sherbet, leaving a furious Parker and Penelope stranded. With the diamond facility structurally damaged in the heist, Penelope and Parker investigate and hear a worker trapped in the basement sorting office, its roof about to collapse; they call International Rescue for help, then set off in a taxi in pursuit of FAB 1. Virgil arrives in Thunderbird 2, and accompanies Fire Chief McCready through the building to rescue the trapped worker; but they soon find themselves face-to-face with an unstable Sonic Wave Device left by the robbers – and one wrong move could bring the building down on them. Meanwhile, Parker despairs at the slowness of the cab’s A.I. and takes control himself; he and Penelope manage to track Fred and Gomez to the London Underground – but in a bid to escape, the villains unleash FAB 1’s weaponry on their pursuers!
