The next morning Amy woke in Rory's embrace she sat up groggily and looked over to the Doctor who was stood eagerly at the bars muttering to himself.
"Doesn't he sleep?" Amy grumbled her back cracking as she moved away from Rory, Amy stood up and wandered over to the Doctor.
"So what's the situation?" Amy asked, "Trying to perfect telekinetic energy?" She joked noticing the Doctor was now staring at the sonic. The Doctor shook his head pursing his lips.
"Amy something is seriously wrong here" The Doctor said, "It's the energy, its off balance" he studied looking around. Amy shrugged,
"It's just an ordinary prison cell" She said simply looking around, the Doctor shook his head slowly but was distracted by the sound of keys opening a door. Amy groaned as she noticed Emma opening the door and coming into the office, the Doctor perked up as Emma came over to the bars, he reminded Amy of an over excitable puppy she had once seen as a child in a dog pound.
"So are you guys all sober?" Emma asked twirling a set of keys on her finger. The Doctor nodded enthusiastically, Amy folded her arms and grumbled.
"I wasn't even drunk" She muttered folding her arms, Emma raised an eyebrow. The Doctor turned back to Amy,
"Mrs Pond where are your manners?" He asked widening his eyes in a teasing manner. Amy sighed and looked back to Emma.
"Sorry Sherriff" She said quietly knowing it was her only way out, Emma nodded with a smirk
"Alright then" she said putting the key in the lock and turning it still smirking, Amy gritted her teeth hating the fact she had been defeated.
"Right you guys are free to go but no more antics!" Emma said sternly pointing a finger between the three; the Doctor nodded and stared intently at Emma as she handed back his sonic screwdriver.
"There's something about you" He began before Amy shoved him forward breaking his scrutiny,
"Come on let's just go" She hissed in his ear,
"Thank you Sherriff" Rory said politely as Amy dragged the Doctor out of the office with her hand over his mouth so he didn't ask any more questions, Emma shook her head and laughed softly as the trio left. Emma watched thoughtfully for a moment,
"Can I give you a ride into town?" Emma asked running after them suddenly, Rory nodded.
"Of course" he said dreamily making Amy slap him. Emma nodded and showed the three to her Sherriff's car, Rory went to sit in the front but was swiftly pushed aside by Amy who narrowed her eyes at him, The ride was silent and Amy had to keep constantly slapping the Doctor's hand down to refrain him from touching Emma with his curiosity.
"So where's your ride?" Emma asked as she pulled into the town, the Doctor coughed awkwardly.
"You can just drop us here" he said quickly pointing to the sidewalk. Emma nodded and pulled up on the sidewalk.
"So where are you guys from then?" She asked turning around to face the Doctor,
"Outta town" the three said simultaneously, Emma giggled.
"Okay guys just remember to stay safe" She said trying to hold back a laugh opening the car door, the three jumped out and smiled as Emma drove off shaking her head still laughing at their ridiculous attitude.
"Come on tell me you can feel it?" The Doctor asked as they walked down the street, Amy sighed.
"Nothing is as it seems, there's some kind of undercurrent" The Doctor said looking up at the town clock and flashing his sonic at it, Amy looked up with him,
"Now isn't that strange? There's a mark on the clock face from where it hasn't moved for a while" The Doctor said studying the clock carefully, Rory shrugged.
"Perhaps it was broken and they just got it fixed?" Rory asked. The Doctor shook his head
"Why would Madame Mayor allow a town clock to be broken for such a long time? Doesn't she appear as the type that would want to keep her town immaculate?" The Doctor said turning to face Amy and Rory,
"Something isn't right here, I'm telling you" the Doctor said desperately trying to convince them. Amy sighed and continued to walk down the street,
"Hey look a pawn shop" Amy said looking through the window to an old pawn shop which had many trinkets in its window, Rory joined Amy's side,
"Wow look at that clock" He said smiling and continued pointing to other things, the Doctor rolled his eyes and went to enter the shop but bumped into a man who was coming out of it.
"I'm sorry entirely my fault" The man apologised eyeing the Doctor curiously whilst dusting off his neat grey suit, Amy perked up.
"Another Scot!" She beamed running over to the Doctor immediately as she heard the man's velvet accent. The man looked to Amy and smiled darkly.
"Scot?" he asked with a short laugh, Amy stood quietly in confusion.
"Your accent? What part of the highlands are you from?" She asked excitedly, the man remained quiet but watched Amy with utter fascination making Rory shift uncomfortably. The Doctor remained curious and looked to Amy.
"I wonder why the mayor asked about your accent if this man has a similar one?" The Doctor whispered, Amy shrugged although she did wonder why the man didn't answer her question. The man obviously heard this.
"I'm Mr Gold, who might you be?" the man asked staring intently at Amy changing the subject,
"Amy Pond" Amy said becoming shy although she was happy that she had met another Scot. The Doctor groaned at the pleasantries rolling his eyes,
"Amy" he pleaded pulling Amy's arm.
"Maybe she was just fishing for information!" Amy snapped answering the Doctors question,
"Or she really doesn't know" The Doctor said sternly, Amy sighed in exasperation
"Not everything is crazy" Amy growled looking between Mr Gold and the Doctor her eyes widening.
"Well something is wrong here" The Doctor said narrowing his eyes looking in the direction of the mayoral mansion, "And I know where to start looking"
