Zackie glanced aside, drawing Dilya’s attention to a bright chirp of car tires and a racing engine.
She stopped and spun to look. Abby and Derek followed so closely that they nearly flattened her on the spot.
Only their hands clamping hard on her shoulders kept them from all tumbling to the ground.
Misty and Group Captain Cutcher ran just far enough behind to stop without adding to the pile-up.
A beige Land Rover jerked out of a line of the vehicles parked beside the building Miss Watson had been imprisoned in.

“That must be her!” Dilya waved.
But the car wasn’t racing toward them. It was racing down the wide taxiway in front of the massive hangar. It didn’t appear to be aiming for the crowd of people there that included the colonels. Instead she was aimed directly at the two MI6 helicopters only now taxiing toward the hangar.
