Chapter 4
The TARDIS faded into existence and the doors flung open. Firstly out stepped the Doctor, followed by Hannah, Rory and finally Amy. The TARDIS had materialised outside a fairly large country house. "What are we doing here? I thought we were following that strange signal." Said the Doctor. Hannah walked towards the front door of the house. She produced a key, from the inside of her leather jacket and opened the front door. She stepped inside, the Doctor, Amy and Rory following close behind.
Inside the house they stood looking at the beautifully decorated hallway that lead off in two directions. In one direction was a large modern kitchen and in the other was an equally large lounge. Hannah walked towards the lounge and placed her keys on a glass coffee table, before sitting down on a chair. The Doctor, Amy and Rory followed her into the room. She gestured for them to sit down, so they did. "Who's house is this?" Said the Doctor, pointing around him. Hannah stood up and looked at the Doctor. "It's mine. Don't worry we will be off again soon. The TARDIS is just re-fuelling on the rift, and I just need to pick up a few things." She said. The Doctor nodded. "You can help yourselves to tea or coffee. I'll just go and get the equipment I need." She walked out of a door in the opposite corner to the door they had come through. The Doctor followed, leaving Amy and Rory to go and make a cup of tea in the kitchen.
Up a small flight of stairs were several rooms including, four bedrooms, a family sized bathroom and a study. There was also another floor above. The Doctor followed Hannah up another flights of stairs into a large attic space. It was almost like Sarah Jane's Attic but much larger and with a lot more alien equipment."Wow impressive. I like the huge space and the amount of alien technology. Cool." He said. Hannah walked over to a large desk that was cluttered with paper. She cleared some of the paper away to find a red laptop hidden underneath. She picked up the laptop along with a mobile phone and an ear piece she had also found under the paper. She put the mobile in her pocket and the earpiece in her ear. The Doctor wasn't interested in what she was doing. He was far too interested in the attic. "Hold this" she said shoving the laptop into the Doctor's hands. He was now wondering what she was doing and was following her like a lost puppy. She was rummaging through a small cardboard box. "Ahh got it" she said, pulling out a long thin silver tube with a red light on the end. She shoved it into her pocket."I knew I had a spare sonic screwdriver somewhere. I kind of exploded the other one." She said smiling, nearly laughing at the image of Jacks face in her head. That was funny. She suddenly remembered the Doctor was in the room and stopped laughing. She walked towards the door and stopped. She turned to face the Doctor. She took the laptop from him. The Doctor smiled and so did she. It was like he knew what she was going to say. She looked deep into his eyes and he did the same. "You know I still love you. After all this time I still love you and I'm just so glad you are still alive." She moved away, and was about to walk out of the door when the Doctor grabbed both of her shoulders, and spun her around to face him."I still love you too. After all this time thinking I was the only Timelord left alive. I now know I'm no longer the only one." He edged closer towards Hannah and she did the same. He kissed her on the lips. He was about to let go but she just pulled him closer, snogging him.
Down stairs Rory was trying to make a cup of tea. "It looks like the one in the TARDIS." Said Amy. She had seen the Doctor use it and so had a vague idea of how to use the alien kettle. "Do you think the Doctor and that woman, Hannah, would like a cup of tea? I'll go and ask". He walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
Upstairs the Doctor and Hannah had stopped kissing, as they had heard Rory calling their names. The Doctor walked out the door first, now carrying the laptop once more, and Hannah followed after, shutting the door behind her. Rory was standing at the top of the stairs looking at Hannah and the Doctor. "Would you like tea? Amy worked out how to use this alien kettle, like the one in the TARDIS Doctor." The Doctor nodded and so did Hannah. "Yes that kettle, for some reason having two kettles in one kitchen was strange. It was there just after the TARDIS re-built itself. Long story." She said. They walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.
Amy had managed to successfully make four cups of tea and Hannah found a packet of jammy dodgers. "My favourite" said the Doctor, smiling. They walked into the lounge and sat down. Amy looked up at Hannah. "What signal were you trying to follow?" Amy asked. Hannah took a sip of her tea and placed it on the table next to her keys. "Well that sound that you heard on the bus. Well that sound has something to do with people going missing. Not just from Cardiff but from all over the world." Rory looked at her "But how can a 'ringtone' be connected to people going missing?" The Doctor looked at him after picking up another jammy dodger, and then looked back at Hannah. "Because after they hear the sound once they go missing only to be found murdered. Then the dead person gets a phone call. The sound is played, no speaking just the sound". Hannah shivered. The Doctor looked at her, then Amy and finally Rory. "Well then we had better go and find out where this sound is coming from." He drank the last of his tea, grabbed another jammy dodger and got up. Hannah also got up and walked towards the kitchen to go and wash up the mugs. The Doctor gathered Amy and Rory's mugs and took them through to the kitchen.
Suddenly the sound of 'Written In The Stars' started coming from Hannah's pocket. She pulled out her mobile phone that she had put in her pocket earlier. The Doctor looked at her. "Don't answer it unless you know who it is" he said. She looked at the screen. 'Torchwood' it said across the screen. She pressed the accept button and held it up to her ear."Hello" she said.
"Hello Hannah. Did you find him?" Said Jack. He sounded nervous. Hannah could almost hear him shaking."I did, yes Jack" she said. The Doctor was wondering who she was talking to, until he heard the word Jack."Good because I think we are going to need his help." Jack paused."We've found another body. Also we have a woman who has heard the noise through her phone." Hannah looked worried. Suddenly the signal started to go."Jack! Jack! Are you still there?" She shouted but there was no answer. She was about to put down the phone when a screeching sound came from the other end."No! NO! I'm next" she said."Next for what?" said the Doctor, holding her by the shoulders. Hannah looked at him sadly."The next to die" she said just as Rory and Amy walked into the kitchen. The Doctor brought her closer and hugged her."Don't worry. I'm not going to let that happen to you. I promise." He whispered to her. He let go of her and straightened out his bow-tie. "Right then", he said "Where to now?" He looked at Hannah. She walked out of the room and into the lounge. She picked up the keys that she had placed on the coffee table earlier. She also picked up the red laptop the Doctor had been carrying. She walked back into the kitchen. We're going to Torchwood."
Hannah locked the front door to the house and walked to the TARDIS. She unlocked the TARDIS door and walked inside. The Doctor, Amy and Rory followed.
Hannah placed the laptop on the consol and lifted up the lid. She put the power on and went to type the co-ordinates for Torchwood, Cardiff. The Doctor and Hannah rushed around the consol pressing buttons and pulling leavers.
