Sam Tyler ran down the street, overtaking Gene as he went, his eyes fixed on the escaping man. it was the thrill of the chase, a predatorily feeling inside him, driving him on. He reached out and managed to grip the mans coat, pulling him backwards. Unfortunately, the momentum was too much and Sam found himself tumbling the ground with the man. The man tried to jump to his feet but Gene had arrived and forced him back down. Sam jumped in with handcuffs as Gene pushed the mans face into the dirt.

"I am arresting you for attempted robbery. You have to right to remain silent. You have the right…"

Gene hit him on the head. "enough of that you!" he said.

He looked down at the man. "now listen up, my DI here may put fancy words to it but all you need to know is this. We are going to bust your ass from here to London!"

Sam winched but didn't say anything. He had become use to Genes language and methods, even if he didn't agree to them, and would much rather lock this man up then get into an argument with his DCI.

"oy, Samantha! Look alive." Gene snapped at Sam, grabbing the robbers shoulder.

Sam jumped to his feet and gripped the mans other shoulder, pulling him up. The man swore. Concerned for bystanders well beings, Sam looked around the street. The street was deserted except for a young black woman and a tall man wearing a brown coat. They were staring at the scene, a look of horror on there faces. Sam rolled his eyes and dragged the man back, as he desperately tried to break free. Carefully, Gene and Sam dragged the man to the car. Gene nodded and turned to clean up the scene, leaving Sam to push the man into the car. Sam sighed and slammed the door in the mans face before pulling out the radio and calling the station. Phillis would kill them if they brought in a suspect without warning.

Gene Hunt made his way towards the few witnesses, a young dark bird and a tall block. He nodded to them, noticing there glances towards the car and its two occupants, one of them swearing his head off. He stopped in front of them and pulled out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath.

The tall man looked at him, "I know this is a really strange question, but can you please tell me who that man is?" the tall man asked.

Gene was shocked, no one was allowed to ask questions before him. He looked the man full in the face. The man met his gaze which, in itself, was a surprise. Gene broke the gaze and looked back at the car.

"no idea. Some random streak of piss. Rest assured, he's going down" he said, turning to the man.

the man nodded and looked at the car again. "that's nice but I was really talking about your friend. The one in the jacket."

Gene turned to look at the car again. Sam was on the radio, reporting to HQ. Gene shook his head and turned to look at the man again.

"that's just my useless DI." he said.

He turned to the car a third time as the swearing grew louder. "oy Tyler, shut him up or I'll shut him up!" he shouted.

Then he turned, nodded to the man, winked at the woman and walked back to the car. He climbed in, cuffed the prisoner over the ear and started the engine as Sam jumped in to the passenger seat.

Martha saw the Doctor grow pale as the words 'Tyler' left the mans mouth. She reached over and gripped his hand. They watched as the man walked back to the car and drove off. Next to her, the Doctor was whispering quietly to himself.

"no no no no no no no no no!" he whispered. "it can't be!"

Martha shook her head in denial. "Doctor, is that who I think it is?" she whispered.

The Doctor looked at her, his eyes hard. "how the hell did he survive?" he asked.

Martha could here the panic in his voice. "we have to find him."

Martha clenched her fist, her knuckles turning white. "they must have gone to the police station. We can follow them." she said.

The Doctor looked at her for a moment before wordlessly breaking into a run.
