"One trip Caitlin you and me one adventure" the Doctor said as he ran round the console trying to control his TARDIS.

"Where to?" She asked watching as she gripped onto the console trying to hold on.

"How about a trip to the future, New New York, it's the 8th since the original so it's…" sparks came from the console interrupting him . They both held on and suddenly the TARDIS phone began to ring.

The Doctor got the TARDIS back in control and got to work trying to get the TARDIS to go to the right destination "Caitlin would you mind answering the phone"

Caitlin sighed "I'm not your secretary"

"Do you want us to land safely or not?"

Caitlin let go of the console and picked the phone up trying to keep her balance "Hello the Doctor's TARDIS can you leave a message"

"Tell the Doctor its Dr Martha Jones and I need him at Edinburgh chamber street museum, I'm calling on behalf of UNIT, its urgent" the voice sounded more desperate "please he has to come here he has to fix this!".

"Thank you Martha Jones from UNIT" she said putting down the phone as she felt her stomach drop.

The Doctor and Caitlin shared a look and the Doctor's face grew concerned for just a minute. He then managed a grin "trouble?"

Caitlin smiled "it sounds like it"

"Sorry New New York will have to wait" He said changing the co-ordinates.

"Who is Martha? and what's UNIT?"

The Doctor smiled at her pushing the lever "unified intelligence task force, and Martha Jones is an old friend she helped me out a lot, she occasionally calls me to earth to deal with some alien threat or other"

"So instead of New New York we're going to Edinburgh?"

"What's the problem, Edinburgh is amazing you'll love it" he said trying to reassure her.

"when has anything exciting ever happened in Edinburgh?"

Danny woke up, it was 9pm and he was still tired. He sat up in his bed and felt his body temperature go down as he released himself from his warm covers. He groaned and considered going back to sleep until his flat mate Alex walked in fully dressed in his guard uniform "come on lazy we have a museum to Guard.

Danny got off his bed and stood up in his boxers "give me a minute"

"A minute? Mate we're already running late"

Danny grabbed a pillow from the bed and fired it at him "get lost while I get changed then" he said managing a small grin. Alex laughed and left him in peace as he slowly moved towards his cupboard to fetch his uniform, he took a large gulp of his vodka bottle and then got back to putting his uniform on. Once he was ready he walked out to the car where Alex had been sitting for about half an hour.

He rolled the window down "your lucky I'm not making you sit in the boot"

"Your lucky I don't make you sleep in the box room with the door locked" Danny joked climbing in the seat beside Danny.

They were in the museum within the hour. They hugged each other and then parted ways to go on their separate patrols

Danny walked cautiously round the museum it was Dark and the darkness entombed him with only his torch light showing him the way. There was a sudden smash of glass nearby and Danny jumped like the smashing glass had been a ghost. He quickened his pace and his torch light found the shatter glass on the cold museum floor. It looked like someone has smashed the case and stolen the exhibit in side.

To Danny this seemed almost impossible how had they got in without any of the guards seeing them and how on earth did they manage to shift the exhibit so quickly and efficiently. Danny removed his Radio from his belt and put it up to his mouth "Alex we have a situation here!, Alex?" there was no answer he was alone and the darkness seemed more threatening now. Danny set the alarm off.

In about half an hour the police arrived and searched the museum but when they checked the scene of the crime the exhibit was back where it was meant to be. Danny sat on the step outside the museum annoyed with himself, had he imagined the whole thing was it just the drink he had getting to his head?.

An old man joined him on the step, he struggled as he moved to sit on the step beside him. Danny gave him a look, why was this old man bothering him now. Couldn't he see there were police all around them.

The old man spoke with a hushed voice "Danny I need you to quit, I need you to quit your Job because you're in danger its coming"

Danny couldn't believe his ears. For a moment he wondered if the old man meant what he said but the tone of his voice, serious and matter of fact; shown him that he meant what he said. "Who are you?" Danny asked in shock.

The old man just walked away and disappeared amongst the police cars. Danny started to follow him he was determined to find out who he was. He shouted after him but he kept walking, he kept walking until he came across something. A red car. Alex's car.

It was there abandoned it had been parked in a hurry the door was still open it had been left there by someone. His curiosity changed into anger as he became determined to find out what had happened to Alex. He got into the driver's seat of the car and drove away from the scene. The sun would go down and the day would rise and when it did he would find Alex.

Saturday morning and the Museum was crowded yet no one noticed the blue box fading in beside a giant Loading door and near some lifts in a wide hallway of the museum. The Doctor opened the doors of the TARDIS and poked his head out it was morning and the museum had just opened so there was hardly anyone in sight. He removed his sonic from his pocket and scanned the room reading the results curiously "unusual energy readings, someone's been using a hell of a lot of power".

Caitlin stepped out of the TARDIS and was disappointed. She was promised a far off city on a different planet far into the future and now she was in a bored museum in present day Scotland. She remembered the day she met the Doctor being a lot more exciting than this but that day seemed like it was only a few hours' dead when really it had been a week in real time.

The Doctor rushed down the corridor then paused to look at something. Down some insanely large wooden stairs was a little train which was surrounded by model trains which just looked like toys compared to the steam engine in the middle of the room. The Doctor ran down to examine the engine "trains I love trains, they lifted this one in and built the museum around it, the last time I was in Edinburgh this place hadn't even been built".

Caitlin pressed a button and made one of the model trains wheels move "why do you think your friend wanted us here?"

"there's one way to find that out and it's all very complicated, I'm going to give her a phone call" The Doctor got a mobile phone from his pocket and dialled her number "Martha, Martha Jones we're here, Chamber street just like you asked" .

"Doctor I didn't call for you" Martha said sounding slightly concerned.

The Doctor froze for a second until he remembered how to speak "what do you mean you didn't send for me? You said UNIT needed me"

"No Doctor I didn't"

"Martha if you didn't call me then this is a trap"

"Doctor I'm on my way and I will instruct the UNIT up where you are to mobilise"

"Martha don't mobilise UNIT I want to have a look around" he said hanging up and putting the phone in his pocket "it's a trap Caitlin, Martha never called someone wants us here but it's not UNIT I'm sorry but we have to find them and we could be in terrible danger"

Caitlin looked concerned "so we're not safe here?"

"Caitlin as long as your with me your in danger, get back in the TARDIS here's the key" he said taking it out of his pocket "that's not yours to keep, I want it back keep the doors shut and don't let anyone in unless it's me not even if its Martha only me do you understand"

Caitlin nodded "yes"

She went back to the TARDIS and the Doctor walked past the train and down another corridor.

Martha put down her phone on her kitchen bunker concerned the Doctor was in the middle of a trap. She turned to Mickey and her mother who were looking on equally concerned. She could barely force the words out of her mouth "the Doctor's in trouble he's been loured into a trap and he's in Edinburgh"

Mickey stood forward not knowing what to say "Martha the Doctor is always in trouble he'll work out away he always does".

Martha's mother stood up " Mickey no, I had my doubts about the Doctor but then there was the Daleks, the Atmos devices and Harold Saxon, every time he always had friends to help him without them he'd be lost" She looked at her it was paining her to say it "Martha go"

"Thanks mum, Mickey I'm going on my own the Doctor doesn't want UNIT interfering" Martha said looking at Mickey "The Doctor can't do this on his own"

"Neither can you Martha I'm going with you" He said kissing her gently on the lips

Martha smiled "ok Mickey, if we're going to help the Doctor we have to leave quickly who knows what sort of danger he could be in"

Danny starred up at the museum as if it had been the building itself who had taken his friend from him. He walked straight in and looked at everyone in the museum including the police officers who were still dealing with the break in the night before. Hi heard an almighty cry coming from somewhere on his right "Geronimo!". He ran towards the children's section and looked over in disbelief.

A little boy grabbed his mother's hand "mummy please tell the man to get out I want a shot". A man in a bow tie and a tweed jacket was hogging the F1 simulator and was shouting things like "Geronimo" every few seconds, a long line of eager children had formed and they were getting impatient while the Doctor had his fun.

Eventually the Doctor got out and smiled "well that was interesting, not as interesting as the real thing I am never doing that again I crashed twice or was it three times I don't think the third time counted". The crowd starred at him in disbelief as he moved round the children's games section. The Doctor had nearly forgotten about his mission to find out who actually sent him and was just having fun, Maybe this was his whole reason for having companions to keep him focused and to keep him sane.

Danny watched the odd man in the bowtie carefully. Sometimes he acted crazy but this was a whole new level.

He examined Dolly the sheep watching her spin round encased in her box "they said you were the first clone but actually the Sontaran's had cloning centuries before mankind and of course they develop Gangers and duplicates, but nothing beats you Dolly you were the first step to all of that" The Doctor stopped while he thought about it "I'm talking to a sheep, a dead sheep". He stood up right and pretended that he had not been having a conversation with a museum exhibit. He looked to his left in horror.

There standing just left of Dolly was an Astronaut suit with a little girl inside. He armed himself with his sonic screwdriver until he realised that there was a mother taking a photo graph of the child in the suit. It wasn't his Assassin it was a simple photo stand. He sighed in relief placing the sonic back into his pocket.

He turned round and Danny was standing behind him wit a long brown coat and short spiked up hair "Hello what exactly are you holding" Danny Asked the Doctor enquiring about his screwdriver he had randomly waved at a child getting her photo taken. The Doctor tried to think of an excuse "it's a toy, a toy sort of gun thing that kills astronauts"

Danny wasn't convinced he starred at him suspiciously. The Doctor could tell by Danny's facial expressions that he wasn't taking his story but he could see intelligence there "right yes sorry that was a lie, it's called a sonic screwdriver".

Danny nodded with a hint of a smile on his lips "right ok, now you're telling me the truth who are you and what are you doing in this museum?"

The Doctor quickly showed him his psychic paper "I'm inspector John smith from Scotland yard"

"Right come with me I know exactly why you're here" Danny said a bit shocked.

The Doctor followed Danny into the lift and it went up. The Doctor watched the floor below them get smaller as they went up. The lift doors opened and they both got out. The Doctor Immediately seen the TARDIS. He waved at it do that Caitlin could see him through the monitor. Danny stopped to look at the police box "this wasn't here last night". Danny couldn't help but think the blue box had something to do with his friends disappearence.

The Doctor looked at the TARDIS trying to pretend to be curious too "I'll look into it… what was your name?"

"Danny" he said getting straight to the point.

"Danny" The Doctor smiled at the name "like Danny boy, I like it come on Danny lets investigate.

They came across a section which was cut off by the police tap and guarded by one of their officers. The Doctor showed him the paper and smiled "I'm Inspector John smith this is my assistant we're from Scotland Yard". The Police officer lifted up the tap and they both walked through. Smashed glass covered the floor where the police were doing the most investigations. The Doctor looked at the exhibit behind the smashed glass and it was a statue of Queen Victoria "Queen Victoria ah I met her once, long time ago I looked a bit like you actually Danny, nasty business with a werewolf it's why she started Torchwood".

Danny didn't know what he was saying the Doctor scanned the statue and then looked at his sonic in disbelief. The Doctor turned to the officers "Danny eyes keep them on the Queen Vic don't stop looking at her do you understand".

Danny was confused "ok I'm keeping my eyes on it".

The Doctor flashed his Psychic paper at the police officers "Inspector John Smith of Scotland yard, all of you get out of here, get out of here now!".

The lights started to go out in the room as the police officers left. The Doctor looked back at Queen Victoria's statue and her arms were reaching out for him and her mouth was open to reveal sharp teeth.

"The Weeping Angels of Edinburgh" He whispered fear clear in his voice.
