[The next morning, Thomas passes Henry in a siding and notices that he looks sad.]
Thomas: Morning Henry. What's the matter?
Henry: I've got boiler ache.
Thomas: And I'm collecting one, two, three, four, five, six trucks of special Island of Sodor coal for you.
Henry: Oh, thank you, Thomas. Special coal will make me feel much better.
Thomas: But I wish I could make Mr. Conductor feel better too, by finding him.
[Thomas collects the trucks one by one. He doesn't notice the sixth truck roll away towards some old buffers and mysteriously disappears. As Thomas sets off, Bertie passes by.]
Bertie: Hello, Thomas and your five coal trucks. Vroom-Vroom!
Thomas: Five? But I'm supposed to have six.
[Later that day, Thomas is pulling Annie and Clarabel. He spots Percy and Edward in a siding and stops to talk to them.]
Thomas: Hello, Percy; hello, Edward.
Percy: Oh Thomas, we've been worried. Bertie says you lost a coal truck today.
Thomas: Yes. It disappeared when I was at the buffers near the little grotto.
Edward: Maybe those are the buffers that lead to the secret railway.
Thomas: And the grotto is the lost engine's special platform!
Percy: Oh Yes!
Thomas: Percy, you protect those buffers from Diesel.
Percy: What?
Thomas: And I'll find Mr. Conductor.
Percy: Me? Why me?
Thomas: Because you're a brave engine, Percy.
Percy: Oh, I forgot.
Thomas: Edward, you can help Percy if you want.
Edward: Of course, I'd be happy to help.
