Chapter 4- Identification

Dalek Sec sat beside Dalek Thay in spirit form as he sat his knees clutched to his chest in an attempt to keep warm.

Caan appeared behind him and cuddled Thay to him.

Dalek Jast lay asleep on the blanket nearby, his right leg heavily bandaged from the wound from the piece of shrapnel that had embedded itself into his leg.

Caan and Sal had managed to pull it out but with difficulty.

Jast had been in agony when they had pulled it out. Screaming and crying.

Jast had lain shivering and whimpering in pain for about an hour afterwards until Caan had giving him some medicine to ease the pain and he had fallen asleep.

"Jast'll be alright Thay. As soon as we found out who's behind this." Caan whispered to the tired Dalek.

Thay nodded wearily and closed his eyes.

Caan sighed and looked up a Sal.

"I do hope that Sec will be alright." Caan looked at Sal.

In the short year they had been together, they had learnt that Sal wasn't a heartless beast but a kind caring man.

Sal looked deep in to the fire and then up at the ceiling of the large warehouse of which they had hidden out in.

"He'll be fine, Sal. Hopefully we'll be fine too." Caan said looking down at Thay whom had peacefully fallen asleep in his arms.

Dalek Thay was rudely awakened by the sound of Caan's laptop being opened. Sunlight was filtering in through the sky lights.

"Is it morning?" Thay yawned crawling to his feet.

Caan nodded and returned to his computer.

Sitting beside Caan he peered at the screen.

"I can identify where the bomb came from. It was made from Dalekanium-"

"Dalekanium?" Thay asked a confused look on his face. "Isn't that Polycarbide, our Polycarbide? What… how did someone get our travel units?"

"I don't know. But I'm going to get a signal and then I'm going to find out." Caan said.

"I am coming with you." Thay said softly.

"No. You promised Jast. You can't break his promise when he's like that." Caan said pointing to Jast motionless sleeping body lying peacefully beside Sal.

Thay looked at the floor and nodded. "I'm sorry. I'm still upset about yesterday. And what happened with the car and everything."

Caan nodded and returned to his computer.

"Caan." Thay said in a very faint voice a few minutes later. "What about Sec? He's lying alone in that hospital bed with out someone speaking to him. What if he's attacked in the hospital."
"He won't be." Caan said softly.

Thay walked some way away and looked through Dalek Jast's rug sack. He found Jast communications device and pulled it out and placed it at his ear.

"Sec…" He said softly into the device.

He could only hear the beeping of the life support machine.

Thay's eye closed and he listened deeply to the noises of Sec's room. The others might of thought this strange and pointless but to Thay it was the only thing that reminded him that Dalek Sec was still living and he was still fighting for life.

"Hello?" The nurse's voice came through the earpiece jerking Thay out of his trance.

"Katie? How did you-"

"Sec's earpiece is on his bedside table. It was the only thing he had on him as well as his wallet."

Thay paused and looked up at the ceiling.

"Is Sec alright?"

"He's stable. His heart rates been up and down but that's about it. Nothing really serious." Katie said softly looking over Sec's limp body. "Are you alright though? I heard about what happened. Are you guys okay?"

"Jast's wounded his leg but that's about all."

"Where are you?"

Thay looked at Caan who mouthed the word 'no' to him.

"I can't tell you. They might find us."

"Who are they?"

"We don't know, but they want to destroy us."

"Oh, a hunt… how lovely… A like a good hunt Dalek Thay… And I'm going to hunt you down and destroy you five stunted little Dalek Humans. Starting with your fearless leader…" A third voice hissed through the earpiece.

Thay gasped hopelessly like a fish out of water.

"You leave Sec alone you hear me! You leave him alone!" Thay screamed down the earpiece.

His yells had attracted the attention of Caan who snatched the earpiece off of Thay.

Jast and Sal wearily woke up.

"Who are you? What do you want with us?" Caan hissed down the device.

"All pure Daleks must be destroyed. Starting with you." The deep gruttal voice growled at them deep.

"I demand to know who you are!" Caan spoke in to the device.

"I am Alpha. And that is all you need to know." The voice said softly before being followed by static.

Caan jammed Jast's device in to his laptop and began to track the signal.

"Maybe if you- urgh!" Jast cried faltering on the floor and lying limp his leg still causing a large amount of pain for him.

Sal grasped Jast and helped him keeping his leg as still as possible.

"Found it. The West estate. 2 kilometres from here." Caan said.

"I'm going with you." Thay said standing up.

"Thay, you promised me…" Jast gasped painfully. "You swore in Sec's name."

"I'm going Jast. I'm going to this Alpha and I'm going to bring him down!" Thay snarled.

Jast grabbed Thay's hand.

"Please Thay. You promised...you promised me..."

"I'm sorry Jast. Caan, I'm coming with you no matter what you say." Thay said as Caan opened his mouth to protest. Caan looked dismal at Jast.

Jast shook his head and fell into Sal's arms his leg hurting him badly. Thay was as determinated as his father, and Jast knew that when Sec's mind was made up. It would take some serious pursuding to rethink let alone change his mind.

Dalek Thay was no different...
