My life was over.
I had been left hanging here by the Judoon for what would be reaching 4 hours, with still no sign of The Doctor. This is definitely not the holiday he had promised. This would be no less than the eighth time something had gone wrong on what he liked to call his "random field trips". Yeah, right. This was just a clever ploy to get my off the subject of Gallifrey. Not my fault, I'm just curious. The less he talked, the more I wanted to know. He's just that hard to figure out. I looked down the hallway, waiting for some kind of sign that he was near. Was it that hard to find me in this place? Bloody hell, I thought to myself impatiently, Where is he this time?
The ship of the Judoon was a massive structure, filled with strange objects and weapons. Not that The Doctor had never seen them before, nor would he be worried at the present moment if he hadn't.
He was looking for Jinx.
They had been separated after they arrived on the planet, and he had spent a well four hours skulking around trying to find her. For a girl with such a loud personality, he surprised he hadn't found her sooner. He rounded a corner and found himself in yet another corridor. He tried the first door on the left. Empty. He tried the next door. Four Judoon were crowded around a workbench, working on some kind of device. He was going to take a look, then thought the better of it and closed the door behind him as silently as possible. A new device just wasn't worth getting arrested for at the moment. He continued down the corridor, rounded a few more corners, and finally found her hanging by her wrists in a cell. He breathed a sigh of relief. She gave him an angry glare.
"Where have you been!? I've been hanging here for what feels like most of the 21st Century!!"
The Doctor gave her a blank look. "I've been enjoying the scenery. I've been looking for you!" He began to unlock the cell with his sonic screwdriver. He could tell she was getting impatient. "Just wait, I'm almost done….There!" He pulled the door open and began to work on the locks at her wrists. Jinx was squirming, trying to get herself free. The Doctor was getting impatient with her.
"That's not helping right now…."
She stopped and waited for him to unlock her. He quickly got the off and watched as she landed awkwardly on the floor. She stood up and rubbed her wrists, which were slightly bruised and sore. "Let's get out of here." The Doctor nodded and began to walk silently down the corridor, with Jinx in tow. They were chatting quietly about where they were going to head to next, where to travel, when they rounded a corner….
….smack into a large group of Judoon.
They both froze as the Judoon took a once over of them, then immediately drew their weapons, screaming at them in their language. Jinx turned to the Doctor.
"Doctor, what do we do?"
The Doctors eyes were fixed on the Judoon.
"Well, we do what we always do….we RUN!!"
They both began to bolt down the corridor in the opposite direction, the Judoon hot on their heels, as they manoeuvred through hallways, trying to get back to the Tardis. They skidded round yet another corner and, at long last, found the Blue Box. The Doctor fumbled with his key, got the door open, shoved Jinx inside and slammed the door shut. They both looked at each other with expressions of worry, then burst out laughing. The Doctor ran to the controls with a grin on his face. "Ready for more trouble?" he turned to Jinx with an eager look on his face.
"Always." She replied.
