Turn 2 – The Gathering Storm – June 1983
You give Ramsay a nudge, “Are you all right, Ram? Come on big man, snap out of it!”
“Uh, yeah, sorry. You don’t see a plane in a car park too often, not unless you are coming out “The Bull“, anyway” he replies.
You look at the wreckage trying to gauge the size. It looks fairly large, maybe capable of holding up to 10 people, but very difficult to judge given that it is embedded into the ground.
It’s certainly bigger than most aircraft, but nowhere near the size of an airliner.As you watch a single hunched figure disappears into the blizzard and seems to be moving around behind the restaurant and hotel. There are certainly more than two more figures climbing on the wreckage and you have the impression that they’re watching the approach of the police officer.
You suggest, “You grab the blanket, torch and first aid kit out the boot, and help that copper.I think he’s in shock. Grab his radio and call it in to HQ, although they probably know by now anyway. I’ll go back to the hotel with that girl and get as many first aid kits I can lay my hands on”.
You unbuckle the seatbelt, open the door “Eeer.... Watch your footing, its wet here with oil patches where it has not frozen over.”
Ramsay springs into action, moving to the boot of the land rover and recovering the necessary items to assist in the rescue effort.
You dash over to the young lady. ”Hello, miss, let’s get the first aid kits from your place and help those folks. Did you see the plane come down? What’s your name by the way? I’m Emlyn.”
You take her by the arm and steer her back towards the hotel. You note that her right hand is slightly burnt. She’s wearing a uniform, white blouse, short blue tie and blue skirt, no doubt the uniform for staff working at the New Wyndham Hotel.
‘I’m Marion, what’s going on! The policeman staggered into the reception saying he’d seen an airplane come down. His radio wasn’t working and he asked me to use the reception phone to call for help and…..’
‘Well, I don’t know what happened, there was a blue spark and my hand got burned and the line is dead!’
“What was that you were sayin’ about a break in?” you ask as you guide her back into the warmth of the reception room.
‘Where’s Thomas, the duty manager’ she asks pensively as she glances around the reception. ‘He was here a moment ago, I think he may have gone to investigate the glass breaking. I’m sure it came from the store room’. She points down a long narrow hallway beyond a fire door that is open.
At the end of the dark hallway you think that you see a shadow moving. It’s far too dark to be sure. You hear Marion gasp as she also sees the movement. The young woman is in her early 20’s from look of things and she seems completely confused by what is happening.
At that precise moment there is a single bang from outside. You remember the gun that the copper was carrying and the strange look on his face. Your thoughts turn to Ramsay, was he the recipient of that gunshot?
Outside you hear a loud thudding sound and the snow is driven to the right of the reception doors by a strong breeze. There’s shouting from outside, something serious is going on!
The receptionist calls out ‘Thomas, are you there?’ Something is definitely lurking at the end of the corridor. Marion whispers ‘There’s a first aid kit behind reception, but all the blankets are in the store room.
‘Thomas is that you?’ she calls out again.
The store room door suddenly opens and you glimpse a tall thin shape step from the corridor into the room and
the door slams behind them!
‘I don’t think that’s Thomas’ whispers a very scared Marion.
All hell seems to be breaking loose outside and there’s something strange lurking inside!
What to do? It seems very probable that Marions going to follow your lead.
You will have to wait for the next episode to find out........
