And they just keep getting longer and longer! Haha. I'm quite proud of myself. I feel like this is sort of filler chapter-y, but it's what flowed out so here we are! That's all I really have to say. Enjoy!

The Doctor looked up when the door opened again as Shawn came in with Lassiter following him. Not him again…he groaned inwardly. During their little chat, the Doctor hadn't become too fond of him. Mostly because the man would barely let him get a word in and wouldn't listen to reason when he did let the Doctor speak. When Lassiter came over and started to uncuff him, he smiled.

"Finally being reasonable, I see," he couldn't help but say.

"That doesn't mean that I believe you. But there really isn't any actual evidence and Shawn has convinced the Chief that he needs your help." The Doctor stood when Lassiter was finished with the cuffs, rubbing his wrists. He looked up at Shawn a bit hopefully.

"Can I get my…" he trailed off when Shawn held up his sonic screwdriver, still in the evidence bag. He smiled and took it from him, getting it out of the bag. He started looking it over and playing with the settings. He hated when people got ahold of his beloved sonic screwdriver. They always seem to mess with it one way or another.

"Don't worry; it hadn't been taken out of the bag yet. It should be fine," Shawn told him, a hint of amusement in his voice. The Doctor simply nodded at him. It was like nothing had changed, like they hadn't spent so much time apart. Shawn could still practically read his mind and he could still pretty much see into Shawn's soul, everything he was actually feeling.

Lassiter led them down to the autopsy room so that the Doctor could look over all of the bodies and possibly pick up some sort of clue as to what was killing these people. He walked quietly next to Shawn for a moment before he finally asked the question that had been bugging him for the past few minutes.

"How did you convince them it wasn't me?" he whispered to him. Shawn smiled at him.

"I just told them the truth. There was really no way around it," he whispered back.

"And just how much of the truth did you tell them…?"

"Just what they needed to know…which was pretty much the fact that you're an alien, which I actually don't think they really believed, and that I trust you."

"And that's all?" he asked tentatively. Shawn nodded.

"Pretty much. I had to say that something happened because Lassie brought up my yelling, but that's all."

"Okay…I just didn't want to accidentally say something in front of the wrong person."

They arrived at the autopsy room and followed Lassiter in. Woody had known they were coming and had the bodies of the victims pulled out of their freezers, and the body of the girl was still on the table.

"I was about to cut her open when the Chief called and said you guys were coming down. Figured I'd just wait, then," Woody said as a greeting.

"Thanks," the Doctor responded, putting his glasses on and pulling his sonic screwdriver from his pocket. He started going over her body with it and Lassiter cringed at the noise it made.

"Geez, what is that thing?"

"Sonic screwdriver," the Doctor said, not even looking up from reading the results it was giving him. He frowned. He didn't like the way this was looking at all. "Could you start the autopsy? I'd like to see if I can get anything more." Woody nodded and started opening her up.

"What is a sonic screwdriver?" Carlton asked, clearly still confused. The Doctor looked up at him.

"A screwdriver that's sonic," he responded in a tone that pretty much sounded like 'duh, it's common sense.'

When they came in Shawn had leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. He was amused with the way Lassiter and the Doctor were interacting. Whenever he used to (rarely) think about it he always thought they'd get along for the most part, but it was clear to him that the Doctor didn't like the man. Hmmm…maybe it's just the situation…he thought to himself. His mind then wandered. What would happen when this was over and the Doctor would be ready to leave again? Shawn wanted to go with him so badly, but he wasn't sure if the Doctor would want him there, or if he would just leave without a word again. They'd have to finish their talk once they got rid of whatever was killing these people.

"What?" he heard the Doctor say with a bit of disbelief. He looked up and saw him holding up some small object that he found in her body. Shawn walked over to him, grabbing a plastic evidence container on his way, and held it out for him.

"What is it?" Shawn asked looking closely at it as the Doctor dropped it in the container.

"Not completely sure yet, but don't touch it. I don't know what it could do to you." Shawn looked back up at him.

"Well, duh. I'm not making that mistake again."

"How come you can touch it, then?" Lassiter asked as he looked closer at the object.

"Because I'm not human and I at least knew it wouldn't hurt me," the Doctor responded, putting the top on the container.

"it looks kind of familiar," Shawn said, turning the container around to try and get a better look at it. The Doctor took it from him and put it in his pocket. He was really hoping he was wrong.

"No way to tell for sure until I get it back to the TARDIS."

"The what?" Lassiter asked, only getting more confused. The Doctor smirked, but didn't answer as he walked out with Shawn.

They all headed back upstairs to Juliet's desk, where she and Gus had waited.

"Did you get anything?" Juliet asked when they got to her desk. She'd been a bit anxious waiting for them.

"Yes, but I've got to take it back to my ship to see what it is. So come on, then," the Doctor responded easily. He knew that she and Lassiter still had to keep an eye on him so he didn't bother fighting it. She only raised an eyebrow at him as she got her stuff together.

After a short ride with all of them crammed into Lassiter's car, they arrived a few buildings away from the Psych office. Shawn glared at him, but said nothing. It wasn't going to be very good when they talked later.

"So where is this ship of yours?" Carlton asked. It was clear to all of them that he still didn't believe any of it. The Doctor led the way to the back of the building where the big blue Police Box was hidden from view. "That's your ship?"

The Doctor didn't respond, but only unlocked it and went inside with Shawn and Gus following. Juliet followed close behind and gasped at what she saw.

"No way…Carlton com here. You have to see this," she said as she walked slowly into the TARDIS. He scoffed, but followed her in anyway. He stopped dead at the door with wide eyes.

"It's…it's bigger on the inside…impossible…" he said as he looked around.

The Doctor smiled as he watched them from the console.

"I always love that reaction," he said amused before turning back to his console. He scanned the object and ran the program. "Now we just have to wait for the results to come up."

And that's Chapter 4! Please review!
