Where Eagles Dare With Avengers There

Where Eagles Dare With Avengers There is the ninth chapter in the Wombles Five.

Meanwhile Cathy and Mrs Peel had climbed both onto the back of an eagle.  The eagles made a shrill cry and carried off Mrs Peel and Cathy. They flew out of Gambit’s house. Cathy noticed a neon sign that said Gambit’s Movie House as they left.  “Cathy!” shouted Mrs Peel.  “Yes!” replied Cathy with the wind in her ears.  “I am so sorry I ever wanted to kill you.  Will you forgive me?  You see I thought I knew about love.”  “Well it takes a lot to learn about love.  By the way can I call you Emma?” replied Cathy.  “It really does!  I thought I knew Peter, Mike and John but, well I don’t know if I can ever be sure about men now.” Mrs Peel went on.  “Of course you can call me Emma by the way!” she added.

The eagles flew them back to Grand Steed Manor when Steed was watching TV with David Vincent.  “Cathy!  Mrs Peel!” said Steed.  “Why are you flying on eagles?” he asked.  “Check their fingers” said David.  “Eagles don’t have fingers!” replied Steed.  “No!  Cathy and Mrs Peel!” said David.  “Why?” asked Steed.  “They might be THE INVADERS!” replied David dramatically.  “Get on with your plans for our house!” shouted Steed and threw David into another room.

Mr Teddy was waiting in the Hyde Park maintenance depot.  Tara came in with a remote control.  “Are they ready?” she asked.  “Yes Tara.  We have three cats ready to become tigers and four dogs ready to become wolves  On the press on your button!” replied Mr Teddy Bear.

At Grand Steed Manor Steed, Cathy and Emma were delighted to see Junia, Freckles, Sheba, Katie, Meowyskin, Meowkins and Meowythings all run in looking rather hungry and cute.

Suddenly Meowykins growled. With Meowykins’ voice it sounded rather strange.  She leapt into Lucy’s cot.  Lucy started crying as Meowykins scratched her.  “Meowykins!” snapped Cathy.  “Stop that NOW!”  Meowykins ignored her and Meowythings joined in singing.  “I meow things, I meow things, I meow things, ‘cos I’m a cat!  I meow things ‘cos I’m cat!”  Then Meowyskin and all the dogs joined in. Steed, Cathy and Emma tried to stop them and kind of did but then they themselves were being attacked.

David Vincent ran back in to see what was going on.  “Your pets! They’re the invaders!” he said, trying to help but not doing very well.

“We’ve got a problem and no one else can help!” said Cathy.  The door opened suddenly and four men walked in.  “Maybe you could hire A-Team!” said the one who’s hair was grey and had a cigar in his mouth.  “Um, ok?” said David.  “The A-Team! Arrest them!” said Cathy.

The cats and dogs continued attacking but then the dark-skinned man wearing chains knocked them out.

Steed, Cathy and Emma struggled to their feet and Steed said, “Why should we arrest them?” “Because they’re wanted criminals!” replied Cathy.  “But they just saved our lives!  Aren’t we eternally grateful?”  “No! It was probably some kind of trick!”

The four men ran away. Well, three did, but the one in the cap stayed there and danced around until the one wearing chains came back and took him with them.  Cathy chased after them, but Steed stayed there because he was confused and Emma stayed there because they saved her life, she was eternally grateful.

Cathy caught up with the A-Team and managed to knock out the one with the cap.  She dragged him off to prison.

Just as she left the man with strawberry blonde hair looked back.  “She caught Murdock!” he said.  “I know Face, that was the plan.” Replied the grey-haired one.  “There’s a tracking device on him, so we’ll be able to find where the prison is in London, so that we can lock up our caught criminals.” Then he turned to the one wearing chains.  “B A, follow the tracking device.” He said.  BA jumped into the van.  But the ignition key didn’t fit very well.  Cathy was having trouble with her van as well.  Her key didn’t fit so well either.

Cathy checked it closer. It was the right make of van, the right model of van.  She had a look around the van.  It was the A Team van!

BA checked it closer. It was the right make of van, the right model of van.  He had a look around the van.  It was the SCAR van!

BA and Cathy faced up to each other.  “You fool! Give me that key!” they said together. They snatched each other’s keys. Cathy raced back to Grand Steed Manor. BA raced off to London Prison.
