20 miles from Woop Woop the jeep gave a rumble and a gasp, and died. Jimmy and Chongo spent a fruitless half hour trying to get it started again.

"It's no use," said Jimmy finally. "She dead. We have to get parts in Woop Woop if they got them. And maybe they don't."

"So we walk?" Chongo grumbled. He didn't particularly like the idea of walking 20 miles through the Outback. Fortunately, though, night was coming on, so it would be cooler. Sunstroke could kill you deader than Fat Freddy in this country.

They went through the gear quickly, deciding what to take and what to discard. An idea was percolating in Chongo's little ape brain...what about that other jeep that was following them? Hmmm.
