"TAKE ME BACK!" Yelled River frantically running around the Tardis console, pressing buttons just as fast. It was no use though as the Tardis rocked and made River tumble into the pilot seat away from the Matrix.

Then there was the classic warping noise as the Tardis landed, the noise sounding sadder than usual. River ran out, hoping to be in the place she needed, only to find a set of guns pointing at her head.

This was not where she needed to be.

15 minutes prior

"So where you want to go?" Asked The Doctor, dancing around the console. "We could go to Galafra, its moon is literally made of Cheese!"

"That's nice Sweetie" Said River, who unknown to The Doctor flipped a switch on the console.

"Did you touch something?" The Time Lord asked suspiciously. River shook her head.

"Just admiring your skills dear." She said innocently.

The Doctor gave her a weird 'I'm-watching-you' look, before continuing on his mad journey around the Tardis. The familiar wheezing of the Tardis engines sounded, and The Doctor ran towards the door.

"Better wait here while I go check dear" He called to his wife, before opening and slipping out the door.

What happened next River never knew as an faint buzzing was heard, akin to the Sonic Screwdriver, and the Tardis suddenly took off leaving its Thief behind.

Present Time

"Who are you and where's the Doctor?" Asked a authorative voice with an American looked at the man. He was wearing a white shirt and braces like the Doctor and a large billowing coat.

"I'm River Song and who might you be?" She asked the man who was still pointing a gun at River.

"Captain Jack Harkness." If the Doctor had been here he would of scowled at the flirting in the Captains voice. River had heard of Captain Jack Harkness, the immortal that came back.

Slowly Jack lowered his gun and once again asked where the Doctor was. River looked away then, not sure how to put the words in her mind. She knew Jack had been a former companion of the Doctor and would worry.

"I don't know." She said worriedly. Jack gave her a quizzical look.

"What do you mean?" He asked worriedly.

"You have somewhere I can tell you in private?"

10 minutes later

At first River was amazed at the shear secrecy of Jacks Head Quarters, but she soon got over her amazement and started to tell the immortal about what had happened.

Jack himself was confused. It sounded as though the Doctor had locked himself out on purpose, and made the Tardis fly away without him. They both thought, no knew, that the Doctor had either been kidnapped or injured by something outside the Tardis doors.

The immortal climbed to his feet, and walked steadily towards his office. River jumped up off the chair she was sat in and scrambled after him.

"And where are you going?" She asked forcefully.

"To call some old friends." He replied.
