Prologue

"The Doctor! He's real? I didn't really believe you!" the speaker was stunned into blurting out the unwelcome truth,

"You didn't really believe me?" the repeated words were surprised and filled with hurt,

"Well no," sudden and indignant impatience coloured the reply,

"You just … thought I was making it up? Or lying?" Now the tone had taken on a dangerous edge,

"Not … wise mate," the gasped words from a third source were ignored,

"I thought it was a story or an in-family sort of … joke," hesitant and weary but now a self-righteous anger was emerging

"A joke!" like a war cry the words reverberated around the enclosed space and all movement suddenly halted.

Martha was staring at Tom with such emotion he looked away unexplainable feelings of shame sweeping through him. The moment lingered on until it was interrupted;

"Err guys I'm still b…bleeding," stuttering and shocked; Mickey lay in the arguing couples hallway a gooey thick yellow slime clashing with blood red stains on his shredded green army outfit. One hand was still on the trigger of a very large gun resting to the side of him and a black rucksack squashed tightly under him. A pool of blood was growing underneath him. . .
