Jack had been all for chasing the men, as they disappeared into the darkness.

A low moan from the shadow stopped him in his tracks.

"Doctor?" he queried and moved into the shadows.

He stopped when he saw a figure move in the darkness.

"Doctor?" he said again.

"Jack?" a muffled voice came back.

Jack rummaged in his pocket and found a torch and shone it in the direction of the voice.

When he saw the sight in front of him, all of his worry slipped away and he sniggered.

The Doctor scowled, grimaced and then scowled again.


"I'm glad you find it funny!" the Doctor said indignantly as both Jack and the TARDIS sniggered.

"It's just that..." Jack tried to say between sniggers to the Doctor's retreating back.

Jack sat down on the floor and let out another chuckle as he held up the picture of one skinny Time Lord.

Tarred and feathered he believed they called it.

"Arggh, I'll never get this stuff out of my hair!" a voice floated out of the bathroom.

"Maybe next time you'll twice about teaching card-sharps how to play poker."

A snort of derision was the Doctor's answer.

Jack shook his head and smiled...then again, the Doctor never did learn his own lessons.
