Lady Joins the Crew

"Lady Joins the Crew" is the fourth and final part of the "Lady and the Steelworks" miniseries.

Story
In order for their plan to work, they needed someone to drive Lady, and Junior knew exactly he wanted to look for in the break-room. It was around lunch-time he met the special person. They both sat at a huge window-frame like table. "Chris, I need your help." "With what?" "Can you keep a secret?" asked Junior after taking a quick glance around the place. "Yes...sure." "We know where Theo is." "So do I?" "You do? How?" "Because Theo and I are good friends, and since I drive whoever I'm assigned to work with, I got a chance to go everywhere except the Scrap Heap Area." "I see...well, we're going to get Theo out of the scrap pile tonight." "Tonight?! How?" Junior went over the plan. Chris' smile widened into a shape of a banana as he spoke. "I'm in. I'll see you at the sheds tonight. I've got to get back to Merlin. We have some scrap to collect from the Canal." The chair shrieked as he pushed it back into the stomach of the table. Mr. Conductor returned from emptying his waste from his lunch-box. "He's in Coz."

All afternoon Lady worked hard, despite her uncontrollable fits of craziness due to her intense workload given to her. When dusk fell Junior took Lady back to the sheds, where Chris was waiting, along with Frankie. "Hey Lady, we have one more job for you. You're to shunt the last batch of iron girders into the sidings so we can take them to London tomorrow morning." "We'll have the job done in no time! Hahaha. No time we'll do an extra job." "And no gold dust involved!" And she drove away to shunt ladle trucks. "Now's our chance." Chris jumped into the cab. "PEEEEEP!" "Say, where's Lady? Don't tell me she's missing too!" said Lexi. "PEEP! PEEP!" "FRANKIIIIE! SHE'S ESCAPING!" "Merlin, Lexi, you're in charge while we're gone!" The duo jerked forward, hoping to, although not successfully, pick up soeed in such a short time. "Hahaha! Take that you rotten engines!" said Junior. "Junior, how much farar? They'll eventually catch us," said Lady. "NOW!" "PEEEEEEEP!" "She's heading towards the Canal!" said Hurricane. Back at the Steelworks, Mr. Conductor had used his gold dust to seal the gates shut. While the workmen tried their hardest to pry open the gates, he, Lexi, and Merlin all went to the Scrap Heap Area. "It's a rescue mission. We mustn't let them win!" said a workman. "You know what? It's time to stop helping Frankie and Hurricane with their devious plans. Let's try being really useful. Go and fetch some rails."

Outside Frankie and Hurricane arrived at the Canal to find no sign of Lady. "We've been tricked! She'll get it this time! We'll hide her in the Scrap Heap Area." "No Frankie, let's use the abandoned shed. Nobody would think of her being locked up in there." "Excellent! Ah, it feels good to not have all the evil pressures to attend to on my own." The two engines went back to the Steelworks, ready to put their next plan into motion.
