The Doctor still didn't know what was going on, or how this was possible. A half-hour had passed, and beside him, Jack was exchanging 'notes' with Mickey. Notes being a large pad of paper he was writing on. Mickey had found one as well, and with these they could communicate.
"READINGS UNCHANGED" The Doctor nodded as he read Mickey's latest note. It was the same on this side. He sighed, and took off his brainy specs to rub his eyes. They were getting nowhere. At a standstill. The Doctor looked up at Mickey, then walked over to take the pad from Jack. He scrawled something onto it, then held it up for Mickey to see.
"How's Rose?" was all it said. Mickey glanced behind him, then wrote something.
"She needs you Doctor." The Doctor nodded sadly. But there was nothing he could do! Running a hand through his hair, well aware of the concerned glances he was getting from his companions, he but his specs back on and went back to work.

Mickey watched as The Doctor went back to work. The Doctor was obviously still missing Rose from the pain apparent in his eyes. Mickey glanced behind him again. What was keeping Rose?
