Chapter 7
"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE," the angry shouts of Mr Jenkins, the manager, echoes through the halls. The Doctor, Donna, Jenny, and Jaime made their way down the empty hall. The hall walls were painted a cream color and the the carpet a light gray.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ROLLERCOASTER BROKE DOWN!" Mr. Jenkins shouted again, "WE TESTED IT. THE RIDE INSPECTOR TESTED IT! IT WAS PERFECTALLY STABLE!"
A meek voice was heard but Mr. Jenkins angry voice covered it.
"20 PEOPLE DEAD! THIS WILL DESTROY MY BUSINESS. LET ALONE MY REPUTATION!"
The meek voice speaks again. Donna and the Doctor looks at each other. Each daring one another to knock. Jenny nervously shifts from one foot to another.
"GET OUT OF MY OFFICE YOU DAFT IDIOT! YOU'RE FIRED!"
The Doctor stifles a laugh on that one before coughing and straitening a bit, an amused twinkle still evident in his eyes. The door slams open and a scared young man comes stumbling out. He looks at the family before turning and running the other direction. The door slams shut. The Doctor looks over at his family and gets an excited grin before stepping forward and barging in.
Mr. Jenkins was bent over rubbing his forehead, he was mumbling something under his breath about needing an aspirin. He looks up and snarls in the Doctor's direction.
"What do you want," he acidly asks.
The Doctor smiles charmingly, mirth dancing in his eyes. This just made the the Manager crosser.
The Doctor waves and says, "Hello, I'm the Doctor." he throws a hand in greeting and Mr. Jenkins stares at it bitterly.
"Doctor who?"
The Doctor reels his hand back in, still smiling.
"Just the Doctor."
Donna, Jaime, and Jenny take that moment to step into the room. Mr. Jenkins glares at them, his eyes landing on Jenny, pointing a finger at her, he turns back and glares at the Doctor.
"The Doctor, you say. Sounds kind of suspicious don't you think."
The Doctor gets a contemplating look and shakes his head.
"No not really. My friends call me the Doctor, My Enemies call me the Doctor, I call myself the Doctor,"he says lifting his eyebrows and continues, "don't know why I call myself that though. It just stuck. So ya, not very suspicious at all."
Mr. Jenkins glares at him, his lips curved in a snarl.
"Done jabbering yet. I have business to attend to."
Mr. Jenkins turns from the Doctor and back to his paperwork.
Well aren't you an irascible fellow," the Doctor states cheekily.
He sits on the Manager's desk and leans back. The Manager growls and glares at him.
"Get out of my sight you loony," he growls, "Or I'll call the psychiatric ward!"
Mr. Jenkins stands up, gripping the edge of the table. The Doctor gives him a cheeky smile before turning his head and winking at Donna. Donna rolls her eyes at his antics.
"Nope, not leaving until I have some answers."
"Get... OUT!" the manager yells, a vein pulsing on the side of his head.
"No, I need some information about you."
"What type of information," the Manger asks defensively.
"I need to know if you've been threatened by anyone lately."
"Ya," he states, his voice cold, "By you."
The Doctor chuckles a bit and throws back ,"Oh but Mr. Jenkins we just met. It's too early in the relationship to feel contempt for one another. I don't even know you personally."
The vein on Mr. Jenkins head begin to beat faster.
"I said get..."
"Please, Mr. Jenkins just cooperate with us," a young female voice interrupts.
Mr. Jenkins turns around and sees Jenny, he points a chubby finger in her directions.
"You, I told you to work at the cotton candy stand. I did not give you permission to leave!"
"I'm sorry, but I was preventing a crisis from occurring," She explains.
"I don't care if the whole Andromeda Galaxy explodes in a flash of light. If I give you an order, you follow it!" he shouts back at her.
"No, you told me to do everything Mary tells me to do."
"Did she tell you to leave?"
"No," Jenny Answers.
"Than you disobeyed my orders!"
Donna steps in at that moment and glares at the manager.
"OI, SUNSHINE! How dare you talk to Jenny in that tone. Without Jenny a lot more people would be dead, including my Husband," she points over at the Doctor, he waves, "and my son." She places her hands on Jaime's shoulders.
The manger is about to speak but Donna throws a hand up.
"OI! Not finished," she takes a deep breath to compose herself, "You are a daft fool yelling at this girl. Who do you think you are telling her what she can or cannot do. If she sees people in trouble, she should have the right to help them."
The Manager points a finger at Donna, "How dare you barge in here and talk to me with that tone. I'm her manager and I can tell her what she can and cannot do. Who do you think you are?"
Donna just as acidly responds, "Well, guess what, sunshine, I'm her mother!"
The Doctor steps over, his eyes cold, "And I'm her father and I don't like the way you're speaking to my daughter."
The Manager turns to Jenny before hissing, "You lied to me."
Jenny shakes her head, "No I didn't..."
Mr. Jenkins interrupts her sentence, "You told me you didn't have parents. You had no one. You little liar."
The Doctor stares at Mr. Jenkins.
"She was actually telling the truth. I lost her long ago and today I found her."
Mr Jenkins glares at the Doctor, "You're just covering for her."
"Nope, not lying. Just found her today. I was quite shock actually when she pulled me up. Thought I was seeing a ghost for a sec."
Mr. Jenkins glares at him than turns to Jenny.
"You're fired."
Jenny shrugs. "That's fine." She grins at her dad and he grins back.
"Well, now that's settled lets start talking business," the Doctor claps his hands together stating.
"What do you want?"Mr. Jenkins ask, Defensively.
"I want to know if you've been threatened by anyone recently."
Mr. Jenkins opens his mouth to speak but the Doctor pauses him.
"Not counting my family. I want to know if anyone's threatened to shut down your amusement park. Loan sharks, angry guest, angry families...angry mothers."
"Doctor," Donna hisses.
The Doctor snaps out of his train of thought.
"Oh, Sorry. Just answer the question."
Mr. Jenkins rolls his eyes before answering, "No."
The Doctor quirks an eyebrow.
"Nothing at all. Nobodies threatened to sue you or shut you down or steal your job."
"No," Mr Jenkins answers.
"I'm surprised. I assumed you would have quite a few enemies because of that pleasant attitude of yours," the Doctor states sarcastically.
His eyes widen. Mr. Jenkins face was a picture of anger.
"Get out," he hisses.
"Oh I'm sorry, that was rude. I always seem to be a bit rude. Rude and not ginger," the Doctor spills out.
"Get out, All of you," Mr Jenkins yells, throwing his hands in the air, "or I'm calling security."
The Doctor gets up and heads for the door, following his family out. He turns to Mr. Jenkins and pleasantly smiles.
"Thank you for your time and cooperation, Mr Jenson."
Mr Jenkins glares at him. He picks up a book and chucks it at the Doctor.
"JENKINS!" He shouts. The door already closed and the book laying on the ground.
The Doctor shakes his head and turns to his family.
"What a terribly unpleasant fellow," he states.
"Nice Work, Spaceman," Donna answers back sarcastically, "You knew exactly what you were doing."
"What," the Doctor asks in the most innocent tone he could muster.
Donna smirks before responding, "Pushing his buttons."
"Was I," he contemplates, "I thought I was being friendly."
He turns down the hall and begins whistling, hands in his pockets.
Donna looks over at Jenny and Jaime and rolls her eyes. They both giggle. The three of them heads in the direction the Doctor walked down. All three laughing.
