The Doctor stopped dead in his tracks along with Sadie. The few others who were still outside at this time were as silent as could be. Everyone, including the Doctor, had either a face of total confusion or total horror. To the Doctor, he was a temporal enigma.

"W-what? How could he be here if he was staring at the statue seconds ago...?" Sadie asked in bewilderment to The Doctor.

"Time is like a bus. You can get on and off whenever you like in the past or the future. Only your species doesn't have the technology to build that bus..." He answered, staring at the old Morgan. "Now as for you..." He walked up to Morgan & stared him in the eyes. "I would like you to tell me precisely what happened right after that thing got you. Can you do that?"

"I'll do my best..." Morgan sniffed, collecting himself together. "After I starred at myself, like you saw, I saw a bright flash of light. Next thing I knew, I was in the exact same spot & position, surroundings almost identical. The only thing that was strange at the time was that the time of day was late evening. First I thought I've been knocked out. I walked out into the sidewalk, but all I saw was old retro cars & the shop was completely abandoned... Finally, I went to a random stranger & asked for the date. They said it was December 28th... I asked what year, and... And, they said 1974..."

"Damn. I was afraid of that..." The Doctor moaned.

"What for?..." Morgan said with worry.

The Doctor put his hand on Morgan's shoulder. His face full of despair. "I don't think there's really anything I can do for you in this case..."

"What are you talking about?! I thought you said you're a time traveler person!"

"I am, but I fear that this may be time locked, meaning no one gets in or out... And even by some chance if it isn't, if I save you then it will cause some major changes to this time stream.'

"Doctor! Please!" Sadie interrupted the both of them. "You can't just simply leave an innocent man like this. Surely there must be some loophole for this. Besides the time with him is all out-of-whack or something because of this. You're a Doctor-time traveler person, so you should fix it!"

The Doctor pondered the subject for a moment. "Well... I really don't know..." He knew there were serious repercussions with tampering with the laws of time, his Second self found that out the hard way. Yet again, these aren't universe altering conditions we're dealing with. Just like Sadie said, just an innocent man with his timezone out of sync. "Y'know what? Why not? I've rewritten history numerous times before so I don't see why I should stop now." He grinned at Morgan.

"Oh... Thank you Doctor! Thank you so much!" Morgan cried out.

"All in a day's work. Oh! There will be one more or less major repercussion."

"What's that?"

"Well. To put it bluntly; you will stop existing. Or, at least this version of you."

"What do you mean?"

"If I save you or find a way to stop you from going back, then the entire you that was sent back to 1974 will cease to exist. In simple human terms, how can you be there if you were stopped from going there in the first place?"

"I don't care, I'll take the chance. Living & working long before you were even conceived, that's not how anyone should live their life." He bluntly stated.

"Wonderful! We''ll be back before you can say 'Aww shucks, I'm ceasing to exist!'. In the mean time, just hang tight. Sadie! Let's march!"

"Um, yeah! What you said!" Sadie answered confusingly. After they were on their way again, the faint sounds of sirens were heard, getting louder & louder & louder.

"Oi! I said no police!" The doctor frowned as he spun around to the 2 remaining employees still outside.

"Don't have my phone." The first answered.

"I-I don't want to get involved in this more than I am." The other replied.

"Well then if you didn't do it, then who did?" Sadie asked. Only a split second later, a large armor plated truck came screeching to a halt in the front of the store. Several other small vehicles of the same nature came following after. All of a sudden, soldiers were out of the trucks & other vehicles were storming the store & its surrounding as fast as lightning. It wasn't long before they busted through the back door to where everyone & the statue were.

"Is this the military?" Morgan asked.

"No... Doesn't look like it..." The Doctor replied, looking around the soldier. He was trying to find anything to indicate just who they are. Not long after, he made a startling revelation. All of the completely black SWAT like suits all had a badge that said U.N.I.T on them... "W-What?! What in the world are they doing here?!"

"Wait, you know these people?" Sadie asked.

"I work for them."

An admiral type person walked through the doors & began to bark orders at the men. "ALRIGHT BOYS. I want the creature detained & took away immediately! Start questioning the witnesses & keep the public away from this sight! Move!"

"I'm gonna see if I can get anything out of this guy. Just stay here & don't, y'know, do anything." The Doctor instructed the both of them as he turned to the admiral. "Pardon me, but do you mind telling me what's going on here?"

"That would be classified information to the public, sir." The admiral grunted.

"But I'm not part of the public, sir."

"Come again?"

"I would be UNIT's chief scientific adviser, to be precise."

"What...? No, you can't. You don't look like him.."

"I see... Well is this library card proof enough for you?" The Doctor reached into his coat pocket, fumbled around a bit trying to find what he's looking for, & pulled out a wallet. Upon opening the wallet, it showed an image of his First self along with his information."

"Oh! My sincerest of apologies Sir!" The admiral yelled as he began to shout.

"Oh please don't do that! You don't know how much I hate saluting..." The Doctor complained as he turned to look at his card. "Eh... As much as I love this face, I think I really need a spare..."

"So Doctor, since you're here, I'm assuming you know what's going on?"

"I haven't the slightest clue," The Doctor looked at the Admiral's name badge. "Commander Nichols. In fact the only reason I'm here was for Tea."

'I'm afraid we don't know much more than you do, Doctor. The only things we do know however is that they don't move when you're looking and they teleport their victims into an unknown location."

"Well! Luckily for you Nichols, we just found out! Thanks to Morgan over here, we've found out that they teleport the victim at least, give or take, a few decades back in time? Or maybe they can take you into the future? Or if you're lucky, you'll role another world completely. Yet again, still just speculating."

"Well that's more than we've managed to find out. Despite their presence has been lurking around for over a month, and at least 20 people have disappeared in that time span, we still know next to nothing about them. Not even our top scientific professors could find out anything new about them."

"Well one, the problem before is that you didn't have me back then. And 2, did you say they showed up about a month ago?"

"Well, yes. Why?"

"Do you know where they came from?"

"Not in the slightest."

"Well that's your problem. Finding out where they come from is vital for this operation."

"Well, enlighten me. Do you have a clue where they're coming from Doctor?"

"No, not yet. BUT I have a pretty good Idea. Commander, we may be dealing with a time-bridge."

"I've heard of something like that before. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you involved in one in the 70's?"

"Well, 3 of me."

"Wait, 3 of you?" Sadie interrupted.

"Eh, difficult to explain, I'll explain when we walk to the TARDIS. Oh! Speaking of which, I really must be heading off to find the Time-Bridge."

"Wait Doctor. How will you find such a thing?"

"6 words: TARDIS."

"6? That's all one!"

"Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Figure it out. Now then! Sadie, you come with me! Nichols, you keep a tight hold on the Statue and the area. And as for you, Morgan, stick with U.N.I.T. Your experience is needed to them. Right then! Let's Roll!"
