Stepping out onto the dirt, the Doctor looked about him at the stretch of land surrounding them. The wind picked up, blowing dust in the Doctor's face, Rose shivered and hugged the coat tight around her. "What is this place?" she asked, gazing around her at the barren wasteland, finally gazing upon the huge steel building in the distance.
"Some sort of yard, that looks like a warehouse, somewhere where people produce goods I think," the Doctor said, now turning to the two men with the softly glowing lights brimming from their eye sockets, "Where are we? Where are you taking us?" the Doctor demanded.
"You will be taken," the men said in unison.
"Taken? Taken? What's that meant to mean?" asked the Doctor, his voice getting higher, his anger now showing on his face, and also in his eyes. Rose was startled to find it almost looked like a fire was blazing in his eyes. Russet flames licking around the pupil, scorching, showing how deep the anger was and how powerful.
His eyes narrowed. The fire ebbed away. He moved closer to Rose, and whispered, "We need to get out of here. Away from these two," he said nodding to the men who were stood blankly staring whilst the rest of the group go out of the van.
"What? Leave them? Leave these people to be 'taken', whatever that means," Rose said aghast.
"No!" the Doctor said infuriated with Rose for even thinking such a thing, "Of course not! We'll rescue them too. I have an idea, I know it will work, and when everyone is safe, we, me and you, need to find a way to get in and find out what's going on here."
"Yes sir," said Rose saluting, standing up straight and stomping her foot down in the dirt. The Doctor's face fell, "Aww, don't! You know how I hate it when people salute," he said, shivering at the thought of it.
"Sorry," she said.
"I forgive you," the Doctor said with a cheeky smile on his face.
From behind them, the two men starting jabbing the hostages with their guns and pushing them forward. "Looks like we're off again," said the Doctor, striding forward with Rose at his heel. And so like that the entourage of 8 clever Retwainians, 2 hypnotized body builders, 1 young woman very far from home and 1 Time Lord with no home, started walking forward towards the warehouse building.
It didn't take long and soon they had reached it. This, Rose presumed was when the Doctor's plan came in, what ever it was. She had absolute faith that it would work, his plans always did. Although they worked, Rose wished he wouldn't just make them up on the spot half the time, it scared her half to death when he cut it so close, but she supposed that was what it was like, travelling with the Doctor. Lots of danger and many close shaves. Not that she was complaining.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw the Doctor reach into his tightly fitted suit pocket, pulling out what looked like a futuristic wand. He held the sonic screwdriver up to the sky, looking at it as if it was the crown jewels. Still with it held in the air, he turned and called to the two hypnotized men. "Oi, you two!" he called, as they turned in unison to face him. "Feel this!" he cried turning swiftly and pointing the end of the sonic and the two men. Out came a fierce shrieking noise, penetrating out of the sonic screwdriver. The two men screamed, falling to the ground, withering in pain as the noise pelted against their ear drums. Rose clasped her hands against her ears, this was worse than the Doctor's whistle. The other people also held their hands against their ears, staring at the Doctor in shocked disbelief as he held his glowing blue wand out at arms length, pointing it down at the two men squirming in the dust.
He flicked a switch and the noise stopped. Rose could still feel the ringing in her ears.
Putting it away and walking over to the men the Doctor confidently smiled at Rose. "Retuned the sonic to 300 decibels, shocked the connection between these two and whoever is controlling them," he said moving one of the men so he was lying more comfortably. "Ddddddid you kill them?" stuttered the old man, stepping out of the company of shocked people.
"NO! Of course not! What do you think I am some kind of animal? No, just knocked them unconscious, they should be up on their feet in a matter of minutes, which reminds me, you lot should really be getting out of here," said the Doctor to the staring crowd, who muttered in agreement, thanking the Doctor for saving them from something they knew not what as they turned hurriedly away, heading back towards the van where they had just come from.
"Aren't you coming?" called the old man back to Rose and the Doctor when he saw they weren't moving. The Doctor shook his head, indicating towards the warehouse, "No, we've got some work to do here still, but thanks for the offer," he said moving forwards towards the front of the building. "Right Rose Tyler, where do you suppose we start looking for a way in?"
"How about that door?" Rose said pointing to a blatantly obvious steel door straight ahead of them. "Good idea!" the Doctor said with a grin, running off towards it, leaving Rose with a bemused smile on her face, for a guy with a brain the size of Belgium, he could be infinitely dumb sometimes.
A/N: Sorry there hasn't been an update in ages, I will try to update more frequently in future, I promise! Just wanted to say some thing I realized whilst writing this, that Rose is a very good character to voice as I am sure many of you do, I relate with her, yeah I have really enjoyed writing Rose and of course the Doctor is fun as well. Tell me what you think about that last chapter and I hope you keep reading, thanks!
