About this ebook
Hi. I’m Bea, a young agent – Troubleshooter – of the Galactic Federation. When a drug dealer pushed past me on the planet Trohi 11, I noticed a strange smell – which led me to an amazing discovery on Heaj 4.
Dr E J Yeaman
I retired (early) and started a new career as a writer. I wrote short stories and articles. Some were published; some won prizes; some sank without trace.Having heard my stories, two friends suggested I should write for children. I’d never thought of that, although I’d spent my first career communicating with young people – as a Chemistry teacher, and running clubs for badminton, chess, table tennis and hillwalking.I tried writing for young people – and I loved it. It became my main occupation. I sent samples to publishers. One asked to see a complete story. In excitement, I sent it off. Then nothing. After four months, I rang, and was told the manuscript was being considered: I would be notified. Then more nothing. Now, after eight years, I no longer rush to the door when the letter box rattles.But I kept writing the stories because I enjoyed it so much. Until, in late 2013, I learned I could publish my stories and games as e-books. Since then, I’ve been polishing and issuing some of them. I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.Check out the series:C: Charades – party game – a new twist to the traditional game.D: Diagags – party game – gags written as plays for two people.M: My Story – novels – classical stories, told by the heroes.O: One-Offs – party game – guess the titles, not quite the classical ones.P: Pop Tales – short stories – inspired by 60s and 70s hit songs.Q: Quote-Outs – word games – can you deduce the missing words?S: Inside Story – novels – a boy’s adventures inside classical stories.T: Troubleshooters – novels – space adventures for young people.

INSIDE STORY
TROUBLE ON HEAJ 4
1
JUST A LITTLE GIRL.
As I walked through the arch from the main city to the travel centre of the planet Trohi 11, a man barged past me. Perhaps he thought, Just a little girl.
Perhaps he didn’t even notice me. But I noticed him.
As he crossed the waiting room, I dodged through the crowds after him. He was easy to see – human-like; tall and broad; black with a blue shine, like a bluebottle.
He pushed through to the door of the spaceport, ordered it to open and went out.
When the door opened for me, I looked cautiously around. The weather was dull but fair. One or two people were crossing the gravel between the travel centre and the scattered ships – flat-topped black boxes about the size of cottages. The man was striding towards one at the right.
I followed him – at a safe distance, I hoped. He went round, behind the ship. I had to see its number, beside the door, before it took off – vanished into the fourth dimension.
I ran to the ship and round it. There was the number – 071887. There was the door. And there was the man, coming out of it.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?
The bluebottle man glared down at me and spoke into his wrist unit. The translation came from mine. What are you doing?
I used my wrist unit. I... I’m looking for ship 514337.
This is not that ship.
So I see. Thank you.
I hurried to another ship. When I reached it, I couldn’t resist glancing round. The man was standing at his ship, watching me. By the time I went round the other one, he was heading for the travel centre, carrying a brown parcel.
As soon as he was inside, I ran for the door. I crept through – and saw the shiny blue-black head among the crowds going into the city.
I hurried to the base of the Galactic Federation. I’m an agent of the Federation – a Troubleshooter. Earlier that day, I’d popped into this base to tell the Commander I was going to the city.
At that time, he hadn’t been interested in me, and he wasn’t interested now when I found him in his control room. He was a small old man who might have been a balding white European – if his skin hadn’t had a green tinge. His name was easy to remember.
I asked him, Narrobum, would you help me?
What do you want?
He was in his command chair, the bottom of the U of seats facing the terminal of Victor, the Federation computer. He didn’t ask me to sit, but I went to the settee to his right and began, As I told you earlier, I was sent to the city here on Trohi 11.
Yes.
I must explain why I went there. To do that, I must give you confidential information and trust you not to tell anyone.
Yes.
Seeing my Federation uniform,
