CHAPTER 2
Trap Door; open!
The muttering was more like talking now, coming from the hatch way.
"Come on… Please just OPEN!... Finally… now light Please."
Thomas climbed down into a dark, damp corridor. A small blue light was bobbing further away from him. Thomas crept after the light.
Slam! A huge heavy door slammed behind him. He was trapped. The light stopped moving. It slowly got closer; he could now hear footsteps running.
"Man!" Yelled Stu, loudly in an American accent. "This is really, really, bad. And the controls are on the other side. Wait; I programmed it to close when I went back through."
"Ssttu!" Stuttered Thomas. Stu whirled around.
"Or, it thought Thomas was me." Concluded Stu. "And why do you call me Stu?" He asked.
"Because you're a stu – dent." Answered Thomas.
"Okay. Well my name is Captain Jack Harkness. But call me Jack because its quicker to say." Explained Jack.
"Are we stuck in here?" Asked Thomas.
"Yep, well we can't get out that way, but we can try that way!" Jack spun round and pointed in the opposite direction." Onwards, hey." Nudging Thomas in the ribs.
"Wait" hissed Jack. Thomas stopped. It had been about five minutes since they had started walking. Thomas spun around. Jack was standing stock still.
"What? Asked Thomas, loudly.
"Sshhh," Jack pointed into the darkness. "There is something moving," he hissed.
