Nearly forty minutes had passed since our heroes decided to get some shut-eye, and all was peaceful at first. That is, until.....
BANG!!!
"BLOODY HECK! Whatever is happening?!" George exclaimed as they were awakened and saw that the lights had gone out. "Dunno, mate. But I can sense something fishy going on." Ringo replied. He wasn't wrong; at that moment, they heard another voice (and a very worried one): "Oh, thank goodness you're okay!" This turned out to be the fireman. "It's an emergency! A ghostly figure who calls himself the Phantom Tyrannus has taken control of the engine and is holding the driver hostage. The worst part is we are given these remaining hours until midnight to tell him where the source of all the world's power is; otherwise (gulp), we will be sent to his land with no means of escape!" The fireman was on the verge of breaking down after saying that word.
Pattie remarked, "Bless me! No wonder our train has slowed down." Laura added, "And I'll bet that's why it has become dark." George said, "Well; don't ye worry, sir. We shall head out there and battle that monster face to face! You can count on us!" Ringo added, "What he said!" Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Yeah!" The fireman replied, "Thank you so much, chaps! I'll be watching over your seats in return. Here, you can borrow my lamp." George then took hold of it and remarked, "All righty, let's get moving!" With that command, the group marched off.
"Good luck, and be safe!" called the fireman as they left the scene.

The raceway tour was a blast, during which George and Byron told the girls more about their mutual love for the sport as well as watching some of the past rallies together with the former's family. "And in regards to what I'm gonna do for the main event, I'll be taking charge of the awarding ceremony. The grand prize being, of course, the Liverpool Rally Cup." Byron said as they finished sharing their stories. Laura replied, "Awesome! I was just about to ask that myself." Pattie said, "Yeah. I can also see how you and my husband became such close friends." George said, "Indeed, sweetheart. I should mention that in his letter, he'll be helping me with the training as well." Byron replied, "You bet I will, mate!" Laura added, "That's wonderful to know, daddy!" George smiled and winked in response. They then took a few pre-race photos before extending the tour for one more hour.
