"Sapphire," Silver came up behind where she was sat, staring out of the window of the cafe, "Sapphire, darling, we need you."

"Why?" she asked, eyes teary, she didn't dare looking round, just to see the tears in his own eyes.

"Firstly because I value your presence and secondly because Krypton and Argon are now here and that means that we need to tell them everything that's going on," he said, topping his reply with a gentle kiss to the top of her head.

"The goth?" Krypton asked.

"That's right," Silver said, eyes not leaving Sapphire's curvy figure.

He tried them all- but got no reply due to terrible signal, Ducky ran to the door, only to find it locked. He returned to Abby's body, he desperately tried reviving her and checked all her pulses- going through the safety procedure. He tried to override the controls for the door, but knew it was no good- that was Abby's forte. A sudden thought ran through his head, he checked the computer screen. He typed in her password and found what he was looking for...
