Sarah Jane kept pacing up and down the attic, not even noticing Luke sat down on the sofa with his head in his hand, obviously upset and trying to take in all he'd been told.

"How could this have happened Mr Smith?" she turned her head to the computer.

"Yesterday there was an alien trace outside Luke's bedroom last night, although I cannot fully describe the alien unless I can give it a scan." Sarah Sighed, how on earth could she find it, capture it and find a weakness, if she didn't even know what it was or what it looked like. She turned her head slightly when she saw Luke, and all her anger and confusion left her as she went to sit next to her son.

"Luke sweetheart, everything's going to be alright, we'll sort this out." Although after saying that, she couldn't bring herself to say 'I promise'. She put an arm round the boys shoulder and he turned to face her.

"Are you sure, Mum?" Sarah Jane felt she couldn't say yes but instead just hugged her son.

"I can't sure son, but, when things like this happen, they normally turn out alright." He nodded solemnly, but when he heard a knock at the door, he shuddered in Sarah Jane's arms.

"W…Wh…What was that?" he asked quietly burying his face in Sarah's Shoulder. She stroked his hair trying to calm him down.

"It was just the doorbell" she tried to hint a bit of laughter in her solemn voice; "I'll just go and get it." She got up to leave when she felt Luke's small hand holding her arm "Luke?"

"Please don't leave me alone!" he cried, she sat own next to him her eyes wide in shock at what she'd he's just asked her.

"Luke, what's the matter, you've stayed up in the attic by yourself loads of times. And you've got K-9 to stay with you" she pointed to the small metal dog on the floor. He shuddered before nodding slightly. She left the room and caught a glimpse of Luke slowly sitting next to the dog.

She leisurely strolled down the stairs to the door, she was expecting it to be Rani and Clyde, but after this mornings events she was still a little shaky.

"Well, good morning Sarah Jane, Ee took your time in answering the door." Rani smacked him on the side of the head for ignoring the fact that something might be wrong.

"Is something wrong Sarah Jane?" she asked the older woman (who didn't appear to be paying much attention)

"Sarah-Jane!" Clyde mocked trying to get her attention. It eventually did.

"Oh what… sorry Clyde." Now they knew something was wrong, then Clyde suddenly pointed out.

"Where's Luke?" he asked her.

"Luke…?" she paused then suddenly remembered "Luke! I almost forgot" and ran upstairs, leaving the two bewildered teens standing confused at the front door.
