Chapter Four - Social Mistakes
"Run" I shouted. We ran around the class room then out the door we came through. We made our way back to the lobby where we bumped into Luke.
"I found a secret room." he told us excitedly. But I brushed past him heading for the doors.
"Not now" i went to open the doors but they were locked
"No, don't do this to me" i groaned as i tugged at the door. Ugh, what I would wish for a....
"Get it open" Luke stressed trying to help me open the doors but locked proper, we needed a code or a key, or a car. I remember having to use a car, well it wasn't me but not the point.
"It's locked! That things real, isn't it? It's real!" we tugged at the door again
"This place is sealed! You're finished Right here right now." Carl cackle
"This way" Maria ran off an we followed but stopped seeing mini alien and the three of us ran upstairs.
"Maria!"
"Come on!" i took Luke's hand
"Maria!" i pulled him away. Luke's phone rang as we hid behind a cabinet.
"Sarah Jane...Yeah i know" he held his phone out as the slitheen roared then put it back to his ear. "Okay" he hung up and we ran again
"She said you've got to make a big enough smell and you can get away." he told us, a big smell, big smell, oh come on brain work.
!What are we going to do fart our way out?" Clyde retorted
"Would that be funny?" i stopped finally having a idea, just needed to come to a proper formation without distraction of two boys.
"what?" Clyde asked
"No, Luke at this moment in time farting would not be funny" i breathed swinging my bag around "Clyde sprays." he knew what I meant and did the same as me
"Come out little one's" Both of us rummaged through our bags.
"They're nearby daddy, I can smell you Luke."
"A strong smell think!" Luke huffed as I found what I was looking for with a small triumphant smile on my face.
"A skunk" i pulled out my deodorant.
"Wolverine, pure masculine action and Heavenly attraction." Luke read out the title which wasn't important. It was just in time.
"Not a skunk but it smells" they came round the corner and held our spray up and let it loose in them. They started coughing.
"Go, go, go!" we ran off and down to the entrance
"Wait for me!" Maria came back and we saw Sarah Jane Smith, Luke's Mum, we started banging on the door. she opened them with a lipstick...no wait a sonic lipstick. Sarah Jane Smith. I thought i knew that name.
"Into the car" she ordered
"Come on hurry" we ran out.
"What was that?" Clyde asked
"Sonic Lipstick" i kept my mouth shut knowing i couldn't tell them anything more about me.
"Someone else's life in my hands just what i needed. We got into the car and sped away from the school.

We pulled into a house in Bannerman Road and got out.
"We want answers. We've just been chased by aliens and you aren't even freaking out. Why? Who are you?" Clyde questioned as we walked with Maria.
"You've got to go home. Forget this ever happened and go home." she told us we stopped her
"No, we're apart of this now, we're gonna find out the truth." I insisted, I wasn't backing now it wasn't in my nature or my DNA.
"What's in there and who was that woman?" Clyde finished my sentence.
"Just leave us alone, okay."
"The police won't leave you alone when we tell them what happened." Clyde threatened, stopping Maria from leaving us behind.
"Show us" I said. She sighed
"Come on then." We went inside and Maria told us where to go.
"Alright, let's see what going on..." Clyde trailed off as we entered the attic. It was all of alien gadgets, some I would say in my head I recognised.
"whoa" i breathed looking all around.
"Why don't you bring all your friends over" Sarah Jane commented as i dropped my bag.
"If they tell anyone who's gonna believe them." Maria replied
"whoa wait we've just had monsters from space on our backs and no one is telling us what is going on." Clyde chimed in, wanting to know more.
"Just shut up for a minute. I'm busy and right now you're not important." she snapped at us and I became defensive as well as irritated.
"So welcome aren't you" i commented
"Right the Slitheen must have taken over coldfire construction, put up building all around the world. But why?" she questioned beginning to talk out loud.
"I think i know. There is a hidden room in the school, i saw inside." Luke told her
"What's in there?" Maria asked
"I have a theory. Mr Smith could help." Luke stated standing in front of his mother who softened at the sight of him.
"Who's that, your dad?" i slapped Clydes arm
"Mr Smith, I need you." the wall parted and lifted reviling a giant computer. Oh my god, I really wanted one in that moment.
"No way" i gawped
"Good afternoon Sarah Jane."
"Oh yes, is that a computer?" Clyde asked excited
"Who's that." Mr Smith asked
"Nobody, Luke would like some help." she brought him forward and rubbed his shoulder but let him take the lead.
"Certainly, Hello Luke." Mr smith greeted.
"Hello Mr Smith. Bring up a satellite image of London please." he did "Now plot the exact positions of every school block put up by coldfire construction." Little red dots appeared
"Ealing that's us." he pointed "St Cheldons and schools at Epping, Richmond ...."
"The ends of tube lines" Clyde and I noticed we looked at each other and fist bumped
"If we're allowed to speak" Clyde added "This is real all of this is real, the talking computer is real, the Slitheens are real, oh yes" i rolled my eyes.
"Clyde there is a time and place to act like a fan girl, here is not one of them." I folded my arms
"And as for you" i looked back at the three that were in front of me. "We're not dumb, Clyde has his moments but e'rent thick, so stop treating us as if we are."
"You're name is Mr Smith right?"
"That is correct." he replied
"Mr Smith plot the position of every Coldfire building put up in the last 18 months around the world" I moved down closer to the group he did as i asked
"Accessing." he began plotting on a map.
"Paris, Sydney, Beijing. A few not all capital cities all over the place. They look pretty random. Underground railways. They've all got underground railways" Sarah Jane concluded
"Don't have to thank us" Clyde draped his arm around my shoulder and i smiled up at him which he returned.
"Link them." I requested not telling them the line of my train of thought was going, it was half a idea at this point and I was going along with it till the answer presented itself.
"London, Barcelona, Washington DC, Santiago, Los Angeles, Sydney, Beijing, Moscow, Naples, Paris." Mr Smith listed
"There's at least one Slitheen at every site" Luke stated
"10 cities, 10 sites. Right call the army." i groaned and face palmed
"Such a boy." i looked at him
"Yeah cause they always make things better don't they." Maria added
"It's not your job." Clyde retorted
"There's a cleverer way of going about things. What's it all for, what are they doing?" Sarah Jane moved up the steps but while Clyde and Maria followed I stayed
"What was in that secret room."
"Sarah Jane i've done something really stupid. A really bad social mistake. I told the Slitheen how to destroy the world."
