The Avengers: The Journey Back Page #5

---

Dr. Creswell's the host...

...but I'm doing the honours.

He's a tad off-colour.

You're an electronic expert, too.

Those papers, very complex to the laymen.

He does occasionally assist me.

So you've worked together before.

Project 90?

That must be Mrs. Peel.

Told her to meet me.

She may have news from Risely Dale.

-I thought I told you to kill her.

-I thought I had.

-How did it go at Risely Dale?

-False alarm.

I'm sorry, we haven't met.

May I introduce Peter Hayworth,

you know Dr. Creswell.

Hadn't we better get going?

We'll be late for dinner.

What dinner?

Thank you for jogging my memory.

I think we'd better say goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-allow me.

-I am sorry.

-My pleasure.

I don't fall for strangers.

What was that about?

You didn't trip.

We don't have a dinner.

and to plumb the depths

of utter banality with:

"I don't fall for strangers."

It was a corny situation

calling for corny measures.

Wanted to get my hand on his collar.

Didn't you see?

It was thick with make-up.

Odd, greasy sort of make-up.

This is enough to put under a microscope.

Good girl.

-and Mankin?

-Dead, I'm afraid. Electrocuted.

So would I be

if I didn't have rubber-soled shoes.

and the kick on the shin?

That?

I just felt like that.

are you sure you took care of Mankin?

Gave him a nasty shock.

So, they've all gone then.

Mankin, Grey, Bryant, Jubert.

all their fiiles are destroyed.

-all the dangers are eliminated.

-Except for Steed and Mrs. Peel.

They can only guess what happened.

They don't know how it was done.

I think it's about time we showed them.

I know it's late.

I've been slaving over a hot Bunsen burner.

I've been doing tests

on that sample of make-up.

It contains particles of aluminium.

There are also traces

of a nonconducting oil.

It doesn't conduct electricity.

It acts as a sort of insulation.

It's perfectly logical, an ordinary make-up

insulates a girl from lots of things.

Not those sort of things.

against the wind and the weather,

for example.

Why not a make-up that insulates

the wearer against high voltage?

all right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I want you in my arms again.

Good morning.

I trust you slept well.

as well as can be expected.

What time's breakfast?

I would've rung but I'm all tied up.

and you'll stay that way.

It's you.

My shocking friend.

I hate to tell you

but you're losing your power.

Quite deliberate.

We didn't want to kill you.

Yet.

-I'm sure you have a very good reason.

-Certainly.

I imagine you know where you are.

I'm at Risely Dale.

That's obvious.

Then there's a question of Steed.

That's all we want.

That's why we had to keep you alive.

To get Steed to come here.
