When the taxi pulled up in front of 13 Bannerman Road, the driver was very concerned. He was not necessarily concerned for the unconscious man in the backseat, with the bruised face, rather, he was concerned that he would have a problem dumping the body off somewhere where he didn't have to get involved in finding out who the man was, or why he was unconscious. He slid out of the car, glanced around, and then opened the back. "Come on mate… end of the line!" He grabbed his passenger's suit and dragged him out of the vehicle. The cabbie heaved the man's weight, on his shoulder and swiftly escorted him up the walk. When he got to the door, he peeked around, looking for anyone inside. Not seeing a sign of life, he leaned the thin sleeping stranger into the corner, in a sitting position, and rang the doorbell. As quickly as he had come, he ran to his taxi and drove off.
Luke Smith was surprised, when rounding the corner, onto Bannerman Road, to see a taxi speeding away from the direction of his house. Curious, he increased the speed of his walk and soon reached his home. He could sense something was wrong and raced up the walk, to the door, where he saw him sprawled on the pavement, by the door. "MUM!"
Inside the house, Sarah-Jane Smith was working on some equipment, in the attic, when her alien detecting watch started beeping out a frantic pattern. She was startled to see that there was alien activity on the property and was about to check the figures on Mr. Smith, when she heard her son shout from outside.
"LUKE!" She responded. Figuring that the alien was outside, and threatening her son, she raced down the stairs and to the door. She flung the door open, and was immensely surprised when the brown-suited man slumped into her entry way.
"Doctor!?"
