Chapter Seven

The Doctor heard the door closing and instantly his eyes were open. He got up, dusted himself down and looked round his new prison. McKenzie's fist had mate contact with The Doctor. But along with some quick thinking (and a great deal of amateur dramatics) The Doctor had managed to fool him.

Now on high alert The Doctor inspected the room as he knew it would only be a few minutes before McKenzie or the two goons which he heard their names were 'Wallace' and 'Crabtree' came back to finish him off.

The Room he was in, was bleak and uninviting. It had a high ceiling and plain painted walls. With only a simple window in one wall. He pushed up, The Doctor was about twenty-five feet above the ground. The Window was big enough for him to get out, but before he did he could hear noises coming from the only door which led to the room.

Quietly The Doctor crept to the door and began listening at the keyhole.

Outside the room, Harvey McKenzie was about to unlock the door with the gun behind his back. Just then a hand came down restraining his wrist, This new hand belong to Scythe Zudar "What are you doing McKenzie?" he asked

"X10 has ordered it" McKenzie, "it sees The Doctor as a threat so he must be eliminated, I must carry out the orders given to me by X10"

"X10" The Doctor whispered, he was thinking "What was X10 Yes ofcourse the computer program McKenzie had shown him. But why would a computer programme being giving orders, especially orders to kill someone." The two men were talking again. The Doctor tried look through the keyhole but couldn't see the men, one voice he recognised as that of Harvey McKenzie, but the other one was a mystery, he knew that it didn't belong to either 'Wallace' or 'Crabtree'

"I only that it expects you to follow orders, but I believe This Doctor could be of use to us! He obviously knows who the G.I.N. Operative "Oxford" is. I suggest we drug him and take him to Tenworth. Make X10 decide what to do with him." Scythe Zudar said

"If you want my opinion" McKenzie said "X10 is starting to perform beyond it's basic function. Professor Ormerod invented it just to assist. But now it's behaving like it has a mind of it own."

The Doctor had heard enough. He picked a simple chair which was against one of the walls, this he jammed against the door buying him a few precious minutes. He then hurried to the other end of the room, he clambered through the window and out onto a narrow concrete ledge. High above the traffic, he stood there pinned against the up outer wall of the house.

He knew that he could use the special chip implanted in his pocket watch, which he could use to teleport to either the Skybase of G.I.N. HQ. However he didn't want to use the easy option yet. He could jump but he thought that would be unwise it would be too easy for him end up breaking a leg. Just then a double decker came rattling along the main street. "Bingo" The Doctor said. He bent his knees and waited for the right moment and then…

The Doctor sprang up and went soaring through the air. Just then he heard a loud crash and knew that the chair had finally given way in less than a few minutes McKenzie was at the window he fired two but it was much harder to hit a moving target than a stationary one.

The Doctor landed heavily on top of the bus, but already had his pocket watch out and pressed the plunger three times, and then completely disappeared.

"We've lost radio tracing on The Doctor" Miss Barrett said, Commander Lyons looked over her shoulder

"Damn" he said "I thought The Doctor was good, but apparently Harvey McKenzie was better" Lyons knew that the radio The Doctor had been given, was fitted with a tracer with continued to beam straight back to G.I.N. HQ, "Well The Doctor must be dead. What are going to do with this" Lyons said patting the side of the Tardis, he tried to open the door but they were locked shut "Miss Barrett, see if you can find a way of getting this box open"

Miss Barrett sighed "Yes Commander"

High up in the top room McKenzie swore "Now what are going to do?" Asked Scythe Zudar who was standing behind him.

"Get to Tenworth, see if X10 knows anything of this Doctor and I'm going to comfront him."

"Is that wise?" Zudar said "Because you know X10 can eavesdrop on your own thoughts, so he may already know what you are thinking and decide to terminate your very existence."

"It's a risk I'm prepared to take, if he does resist we can suggest that he uses of the G.I.N. agent and we may discover some answers."
