Jeanie took the controls as the craft plummeted towards the ground. Miraculously they landed safely on the soft sand of the beach. Jeanie forced open the door, pushed out Elton, then grabbing Logan by the hand pulled him towards the open door....

OK then, Jeannie ignored Logan's rapidly-weakening cries for help, rushed towards Elton, tied his hands and feet and propped him up against the door....

a glimmer of a familiar tune assailed her ears. It wasn’t an alien monster, it was Elton John, resplendent in a glittery green suit with star sunglasses... ‘Like my new mode of transport?’ he bellowed above the engine noise.....

...as Jeannie glanced upwards, she realised the light shimmering on the waves from coming from an alien spacecraft hovering just above the dinghy. They clutched the sides of the boat as it began to rise above the waves, and a dark panel slid open on the underside of the UFO. A brilliant beam of light dazzled their eyes as the boat was swallowed up by the spaceship, but as the panel closed behind them, leaving them trapped inside, Jeannie was suddenly aware of a strange....

and it was a job to keep the boat steady. They realised that the waves were partly caused by a big tanker which now was moving away. They collected their thoughts as the light shimmered on the sea then.....

and after much struggling she managed to free Logan's legs from the sea weed. Grabbing him tightly she lugged him on board the dinghy. Out of breath they embraced passionately but as the waves battered the dinghy with great force ...

huge drops of rain began to fall. Just as the storm broke Jeanie arrived on the beach. She secured the map and metal detector under a rock before launching the dingy into the choppy sea. Jeanie paddled furiously towards Logan as the waves threatened to overcome him....

He really should have kept a few of them in case of emergencies, Logan thought, grinning. But as he finally struggled free of the seaweed, suddenly there came a tremendous...

Driving the wrong way in a one-way system tends to be frowned on by the Highway Code, so catching up with the mangled remnants of Lydia Letts' van was all too easy for Jeannie. She saw at a glance that DI Letts appeared to be dead - or was that red face-paint? - so she rushed to the back of the van, pulled open its dented doors and grabbed the map, the metal detector and an inflatable rubber dinghy which looked like it might be useful.
