## Synopsis

Percy Persuades Henry To Come With Him To The Mines To Explore And See If They Can Find Bertram. With No One To Do Their Jobs They Cause Confusion And Delay. What Will They Find?

## Plot

It was a cold, early morning. Everyone was still asleep because it was so early, except Henry and Percy, who were talking at Maithwaite Station. Percy remembers when Edward told the others about Bertram, and asks Henry if he'd like to go into the mine with him to try and find Bertram. Henry becomes worried because of their jobs, but Percy says that the trip wouldn't be that long. So, Henry agrees and they set off.

When Percy and Henry arrive at the mine, Henry says that it looks dangerous, but Percy interjects, saying they should go in anyway. Henry reluctantly agrees and they enter the mine.

Meanwhile, Thomas, Gordon, and James are waiting at Knapford for their trains, but none of them come. The three of them get worried that they're going to get into trouble, and Gordon and James get angry at Percy not bringing the former's coaches and Henry not coming to collect his train. Then, Sir Topham Hatt arrives and tells the engines that they will have to fetch their own trains, and James will have to take Henry's train due to Henry and Percy's absences. He also states that when he finds the two green engines, they will be in serious trouble. The three get very annoyed at the amount of extra work they have to do.

Meanwhile, Percy and Henry are having a lot of fun in the mine. Percy says that it's very cool, and Henry imagines if they found Bertram, to which Percy says that would be awesome. However, a strange noise starts echoing through the mine. Henry becomes worried, asking Percy if he heard. Percy doesn't know what Henry's talking about, and then the noise happens again, so Henry asks again. Percy says it's an engine. This gets the two of them into a panic, with Henry worrying that it may be Bertram trying to scrap them. Percy says it can't be, but Henry only wants to get out. Percy agrees and the two hurry out.

When they are out of the mine, they run into Sir Topham Hatt. He was not pleased at the fact that all the trains were running late thanks to the two engines, how the other engines had to fetch their own trains, and how James had to take Henry's goods train in his absence. Sir Topham Hatt punishes the two engines by making them stay in the shed for the whole week. The two sat miserable in the shed, but by then it had been almost a week. But no one knows what they heard.
