Disclaimer: The Writing Twins do not own Doctor Who, though we have a great wish too, we don't. We do however own the storyline and any OC characters in this "episode". This story is more of a learning curve for us as writers then for the entertainment of others, so all constructive criticism is welcome (We know are historical inaccuracies). This is also meant to be an episode of Doctor Who meaning we will have an Intro and credits, in between each chapter is a commercial break and each "book" is an episode.
Chapter 2:
Cynthia and the Doctor darted down to a back entrance, weaving and dodging through the green beams that seemed to make it their life goal, hitting the Doctor. Soon the pair stood in front of a door marked 'exit'. Cynthia tried the door jiggling the handle about before sighing.
"Damn it." She breathed before turning to the Doctor "It's locked."
"Do you think I would be able to have my…"
"Allow me." The girl smirked before diving into the door at full speed, the hinges breaking off and wood splintering everywhere.
"Well I guess that's one way of doing it." The Doctor spoke, glancing at the splintered off wood, gazing at the retreating back of Cynthia before running after her thinking longingly of his screwdriver.
Two more shot where fired, barely missing the two as they stumbled out the back gate. Cynthia took a look around the dimly lit back alley.
"Ok, headquarters is this way and please, try and keep up. Plebeians are always the hardest to escort." Cynthia said backhandedly.
"I'm. not. a. plebeian! Stop referring to me as Wand Boy and I know it's hard but you need to start trusting me." The Doctor pulled Cynthia into a small side street. "I know that it is hard to comprehend, but where friends. I need you to, trust me." Cynthia looked up and down the man in front of her, she payed close attention to his eyes, they looked so… sad.
"I'll try, but I can't make any promises Wand Boy" She smirked. The Doctor smiled back at her before taking her hand and running. They soon approached a dilapidated wooden building. If the Doctor didn't know better it would have looked like any old shack and he would have past right by it. Cynthia wrapped her hand around the door knob before turning it three times and then knocking on the door another five.
"What is this place?" The Doctor asked looking the building up and down.
"It's HQ, the thieves' guild." Cynthia replied before the door swung open revealing the frowning Cecilia.
"Don't look at me, Wand Boy over here took too long." Cecilia sighed before moving aside to let them in. The Doctor looked around taking everything in. The walls where caked in newspaper clippings and writing. The papers where all connected by long red ribbons coming from the outside and forming a point in the middle. The middle wasn't a picture like you would expect, it was a giant question mark. The girls took a seat on the sofa crossing their leg at the same time. The Doctor's face lit up gleefully and he ran around the wall like a kid in a candy store.
"Someone hand me my screw-" the Doctor began.
"No." The twins said in harmony, Cynthia smiling, Cecilia staring blankly.
"Oh well. Had to try. It's not like it would do any good anyway. Doesn't really work on… wood." The Doctor ran around a bit more. "So… there have been a bunch of murders in that factory within' the past few weeks" he jumped to a new picture. "Their found dead, tossed outside the factory." The Doctor turned around quickly "but you're missing the biggest question" He pointed at the giant question mark. "Not who did it, but why." He turned his attention back to the girls, "but what my question is, is why you girls are investigating it. Your thieves, you steal things not investigate murders."
"Everyone has got a hobby Wand Boy."
"There has to be a deeper meaning then that. You need to trust me Cynthia." The doctor said getting closer to her.
"But that's the thing, Wand Boy. You know all these things about us and we don't even know your name… and you expect us to trust you? You could just be a mad man in a bowtie." The Doctor moved in leaning over Cynthia
"I'm the Doctor and there's only one thing you need to know about me, I am definitely a mad man with a bowtie."
