Chapter Two: Taxi Ride
As the taxi pulled up, besides the Doctor and Donna, a mechanical door slid open. And they entered a small room with a purple sofa. Separating the driver from the passenger was a wall of thick glass with small holes in them. And on the glass, where two small flat televisions, both showing the news.
"Where too?" The driver asked calmly, turning his head and looking at the Doctor and Donna.
"New, New York please." Donna asked grinning, The Doctor glanced at her, and the man sighed.
"Obviously, but where about in New, New York." He asked Donna.
"Just at the other end of the bridge." The Doctor said interfering, Donna just nodded.
"Alright, shouldn't be too long." The driver then turned on the engine of the car, and as if by magic, it lifted itself off the ground, before hovering high above the grassy hills, "Right, here we go." The driver said, and the taxi began to fly forward, towards the end of a large grey bridge.
"Doctor, is it alright leaving the TARDIS back there?" Donna asked confused, the Doctor nodded.
"Yeah, nobody could get in the TARDIS, not without a key anyway. Is this T.V working?" The Doctor asked, before leaning forward and pushing a button on the television. It sprung to life.
And on the screen was a tall blond woman grinning brightly, standing on a hill, the slogan "New, New York - Regional News" was under her. "And we are also having reports of the Bad Wolf virus coming into New, New York, officials say that there is nothing to panic about though." The Doctor had a horrified look upon his face, "In other news, the strange case of the NNY disappearances are still continuing to get worst. 28 people simultaneously disappeared last night, 23 the night before, and by the pattern we have been having for the last days, this may happen again tonight. Be careful, lock all doors and windows, and stay in a large group, according to the CCTV footage, the people disappear when they're alone. But literally vanish, one minute they're standing tall, the next, all that is left is what ever they had in their hands, and the clothes they were wearing."
"What?" The Doctor said alerted, "Excuse me sir." He said, knocking on the glass between the driver and the passenger.
"What's up?" The driver asked politely.
"How much do you know about these disappearances sir?" He asked the driver, now sounding like some police officer.
"Not much, why, who've you been talking to?" The driver asked suspiciously, "Besides, why should I tell you anything?"
The Doctor flashed some psychic paper, showing he was a Police Officer named John Smith from Scotland Yard. "Now listen, I'm assuming you have some information, otherwise your heart beat wouldn't be increasing and you wouldn't be panicking, so if you are wise, you should tell me what you know."
"Seriously, I don't know anything, I swear!" The driver said now shaking, the Doctor knew he had information.
"This is your last chance." The Doctor said grimly.
"I'm sorry, but I really don't have any information, I haven't done any--" The man suddenly stopped talking and the doors of the taxi opened, they where still high above ground.
"Doctor! Doctor stop him!" Donna screamed as the taxi began to plummet to the ground, "We're going to fall out the bloody window!" She shouted.
"Sir! I demand you stop this at once! You'll be arrested if they find out about you doing this and -- " The Doctor stopped talking as, he realised, there was nobody driving the car. The driver, had disappeared.
"Doctor! Where going to go right into that building!" Donna screamed as she nearly was sucked out of the doors, but the Doctor managed to close them and securely shut them with his sonic screwdriver.
"Quick, Donna, help me smash this glass wall" The Doctor shouted, Donna took her shoes off and began to smack the wall repeatedly, the Doctor sighed, then pointed his sonic screwdriver at it and pushed a button, a blue light emerged from the end of the screwdriver and the wall began to crack, then shatter into many pieces.
"Doctor, hurry up!" Donna screamed as they approached a huge building. The Doctor climbed into the drivers seat and took control of the wheel, only the drivers clothes where on the floor.
"Donna, hold on!" The Doctor roared as he took at 180 degree turn, sending Donna flying through the back of the car, and glass spinning everywhere, but luckily not touching Donna or the Doctor.
As they got back on a steady course, the Doctor made sure Donna was ok, "Are you alright?" He asked her, she was out of breath and pale as a ghost.
"Yeah, now I am…" She replied, "But that was too much to take it, what the hell just happened?" She asked.
"I don't know…he just vanished…" The Doctor pushed a couple of buttons and the taxi began to descend to the ground. "Come on, let's get out of here."
