Hi guys. Remember me. Remember when I said that things would change. Well, they have. I am not longer working at the farm. So I have no idea how things are going to change even further but hopefully, this is just the start of things to come. But this should mean that hopefully, I will have the time to write and finally get this story finished and get it out to you. That is the plan anyway.

On with the story. This is a sequel to Open Wifi, Missing Students so if you haven't read that one yet please do. I don't know how much sense this will make without reading that one first.

Also, I kinda know how to fight. I have been studying karate for the last 8ish years, but it is kinda hard to write. I know what I wanted to write but I don't know whether it has come out the way that I wanted it to.

Prologue

Maybe there wasn't a wait for the next investigation but there was a wait for the events to happen. And maybe the Doctor is right. Not that I am going to tell him that. Maybe I am a control freak.

I have searched the previous books for ways to try and keep my normal life and my life with the Doctor separate and maybe only now I am finding out how hard that actually might be. It is possible though and I will try and make it work but I know it is going to be hard.

Also, a piece of advice. Try not to kill the Doctor. He will do things that will make you want to do that. Just believe me when I say, when he says he is on to something, he more than likely is on to something, it just might not be apparent until the end. If that made any sense what so ever.

Chapter 1

"Again." The Doctor said.

"I don't think that this is working," Clara said as she picked herself off of the floor and dusted herself off.

"It is important that you know how to defend yourself."

"At this rate, I am going to be taking over year seven for Taekwondo."

"That probably isn't a bad idea. Now again."

Clara sighed loudly before getting into position. The room went dark.

They had been at it for hours. The Doctor had a simulation that helped teach beginners how to fight if they had no previous experience. Clara had no such experience and, even if he was right, he insisted that she take the course. She had technically taken the course and more or less passed it. He was just running another simulation to prove that she had learnt it. Something that she was failing to do at the moment.

It wasn't long before the simulation started and the rather solid hologram ran at her. Clara knew what the likely outcome would be so quickly moved her left leg to spin on the ball of her right foot to spin out of the way. The hologram ran straight past her and turned to come back at her. This had given Clara a bit of a chance as she ducked to miss the first punch.

The previous simulation had taught her about key points to hit that someone could do damage, even if they were only small. Clara found herself moving to the side as she landed a punch to the spleen. The simulation started to curl around and she knew that she had done what she meant to do. It didn't mean that it was over with though. Clara pushed on the simulations head to make sure that the impact of her knee was used to its full extent. With the simulation now raising up, Clara placed one of her legs behind the hologram's and pushed against them, causing the simulation to fall to the floor.

She took a few steps back to make sure that it wasn't about to get up again before totally letting down her guard. She shrieked as the Doctor picked her up from behind.

"Always be aware. You never know who might be behind you." He said.

Clara tried to not feel comfortable in his arms. The more that they worked together, the more that she was sure that she was crushing on him. Usually, he wouldn't have anything to do with physical human contact. He said that he wasn't a hugger while Clara would love him to be a hugger. If she had to settle with being grabbed from behind as a way of having any physical contact with him, she would take it.

"Well, I hope that if it comes to it, we will be working as a team if we have to take on a group."

"I might not always be there." The Doctor said as he let her go.

Clara couldn't help but feel cold after he let her go. His personality might be cold but she was sure that he was one of the warmest people that she knew. He had allowed her to borrow his jacket when she felt cold when they were staking out this restaurant that he was certain was up to something. Clara had committed his smell to memory as well as being surprised at how quickly she warmed up.

"I think we should get something to eat."

The Doctor snorted. "We don't have time for food. We have a multiple missing persons case that has been given to me without any arguments."

"Other than you going into the commissioner's office and demanding for it," Clara muttered.

She knew that he had heard her but he wasn't going to comment. His mind was now on the case.

"Are you certain that it is this restaurant? It has literally only just opened." Clara asked.

The Doctor pointed at a picture. "Missing Person A. Seen entering the restaurant at 8:02pm to meet with her boyfriend. Boyfriend left at 9:35pm without her. He says that she went to the toilet and never came back. Missing Person B. Seen entering the restaurant on opening night. A first date so the date thought that he had just walked out because they weren't really getting on. Family haven't seen him since. Most recently, Missing Person C. We watched them walk into the restaurant at 6:38pm with her family and watched her family walk out without her."

"The commissioner thinks it is because you don't like the person running it."

"We have a link now."

"So originally it was out of spite."

"We have a link now." The Doctor repeated.

"Who is running it?"

"Sec Dalek."

"Who?"

"Sec Dalek. One of the four sons of Davros Dalek. The cult leader who believes that everything is above them. Basically, they are the English version of the mafia. Davros is the head of the family and organisation. They have many minions running around doing their dirty work for them. The sons were jailed for a period of time but they have obviously been released."

"And I guess them being back on the streets is a bad thing."

"Would be. But everyone thinks that they have changed. Sec was a good guy. Kept his nose clean. Caan, not so much. Thay and Jast just followed Sec, which was probably a good thing."

"So you have Davros, Sec, Caan, Thay and Jast Dalek. Please say that the mother was called something normal and had no input into the names."

"I never met her. She died not long after Thay and Jast were born."

"You don't think that they have changed."

The Doctor sighed. "I want to think that but they have promised to change so many times before. They are part of the family business. I don't think that they can change."

The disappoint was clear in the Doctor's voice and Clara knew better than to try and push it any further. If she wanted more information, she would have to ask K9 or Idris.
