"But I was only answering your question," Fred protested.

"Huh!" Astra evidently didn't think that was a very good excuse. "Our priority now has to be to find a way to escape, not to go on about our exploits. But first we need to prevent this traitor from ratting on us to his demon friends."

She hefted her raygun menacingly. "I wouldn't dream of saying anything to them," Von Strutter stuttered.

"You might find it difficult to explain away the two dead bodies, though," Fred pointed out.

"You could lock me in that supply cupboard," Von Strutter suggested. He pointed at a large metal cupboard standing against the wall of the corridor. Its keys were conveniently in the lock. "That would give you time to get away."

1. "All right," Astra conceded.
2. "No. Death to all traitors!" Astra said, firing the raygun at Von Strutter.
3. "I prefer this solution," Astra said, hitting him hard on the head with the butt of her weapon. He slumped unconscious to the floor.
4. "You might be able to force the lock from the inside. I think we'd better take you with us as our prisoner."
5. Just then, more guards came round the corner of the corridor.
