Chapter One

The Doctor stood in a dark corner of the room watching the couple fight. They didn't know he was there and he didn't want them to.

"All right, keys come here," the Doctor whispered as he reached over to the keys at the desk.

"What did you do to him, Derek!" said a woman.

"Nothing, Alia, you're just overreacting here! We can…" said Derek.

Cute couple...

"I want you to get rid of it!" screamed Alia.

What on earth were they screaming about anyway? The Doctor asked himself. Derek turned around towards the Doctor. Quickly the Doctor took his hand away from the keys and reverted back into the shadows. His icy blue eyes seemed to glow in the darkness that surrounded him. He needed those keys to get Ace out of her cell.

It's amazing how fast things happen isn't it, Doctor? The Doctor asked himself. We walk out of the TARDIS and get arrested for murder before I can even say hello.

Almost here…Yes! Now, let's get out of here. The Doctor turned to return to the passage hidden in a bookcase where he had come from when—

"Oi! Professor?" said a teenaged girl in a black bomber jacket. Ace.

What…how?

"Oh, sorry folks, I must have the wrong room. Have you seen…?" said Ace

"Get in here now!" said Alia grabbed Ace by the arm and threw her at her husband.

"Derek! Tie her up! NOW!" demanded the woman as she turned to lock the door behind her.

"Hang on a bit! What did I…" Ace said.

"Gag her" said Alia. She folded her arms and began to pace back and forth.
