"See anyone?" Mickey whispered from his position behind the flower pot.

"No now shut up!" Emma hissed, tossing one of the pebbles from her hiding place.

"We're in." Captain Jack pushed on the wall and it fell back revealing the elevator shaft behind it.

Emma and Mickey carefully picked their way out of their hiding spots and joined Jack.

"Bit dark isn't it?" Mickey tightened the straps on his gloves, then without another word he jumped forward.

"Isn't that a little danger-" Emma was cut off by Captain Jack grabbing her around the waist and flinging the both of them into the darkness.

Biting back the urge to scream all the profanities she knew at Captain Jack, it took Emma a moment to realize that they weren't falling nearly as fast as they should. Looking up she could barely make out Jack's arm wrapped around the suspension rope.

"Nice of you guys to join me." Mickey remarked snidely as Captain Jack carefully put Emma down and then lowered himself onto the floor.

Emma blinked several times trying to adjust to the dim light cast by flickering bulbs. There was a sort of eerie glow about the place that Emma assumed came from being under the Thames. Cautiously she stepped forward.

"Oh yuck!" Emma wrinkled her nose as she found herself standing in a foot deep slimy puddle, "Thank Rassilon I didn't wear my trainers for this." Captain Jack chuckled at that. "What?" Emma hissed, shaking her foot trying to get the water off.

"Nothing," He smiled smugly, "You're just hard to figure out ."

Emma frowned, "Well you're not." She turned towards the corridor and marched off with an annoyed "humph!"

"You need to work on your people skills." Mickey laughed and took off after her.

Jack stood there for a moment, "What's wrong with my people skills?" He asked bewildered.


"I don't like the look of this, Doctor." Martha had her gun raised and her trigger finger was twitching.

The Doctor didn't look up from the floor, which he'd been staring at intently for some time.

"What exactly are you looking at?" Jack asked.

"The floor." The Doctor waved him off, continuing to stare.

"Why? What for?"

"Jack don't disturb him I'm sure he has his reasons!" Martha hissed.

"Right!" The Doctor looked up abruptly, "This way!" He strode on a diagonal across the hall and stopped. He tilted his head slightly and then pressed himself flat against the wall, listening. "Aha!" He exclaimed giving the wall a shove.

"How did you know that was there?" Jack gaped at the new uncovered passageway.

The Doctor gave Jack a large crooked grin, "I'm clever."


"We're lost aren't we?" Emma glared at Mickey and Captain Jack.

"No… we're just taking a detour." Mickey flipped the map he'd been drawing upside down, looking confused.

"Typical boy. To worried about looking manly to look up skimatics before going on a recon mission. Give me that." Emma grabbed the map, "Idiot. We've been going in circles. And you never marked the secret door right there." She pointed at a spot on the map, "That's where we want to go."


"Now I see why Emma didn't want to come with you." Jack said, staring down the barrel of a gun."Well that's just rude that is." The Doctor protested.

"I said stop talking!" One of the guards poked The Doctor in the chest with his gun.

"What should we do with them?" Another guard asked.

"Probably take 'em to the boss yeah?" The first one grunted.

"Alright you three, let's go." A third grabbed Martha's wrists and cuffed them before pushing her forward, "Ladies first." He growled.


"The Doctor's been here." Emma muttered examining the floor."They were taken prisoner, by what looks like some really buff guys with guns."

"You can tell they had guns just by looking at their footprints?" Captain Jack raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I can't." Emma stood up, "There are bullet shells on the ground too."

"Bullets?"

"Don't worry Mickey. Martha is fine. Come on they went this way. Hey guys do you think-" Emma stopped having just realized how quiet it was, "Guys? Where did you- ow!" She looked at her arm, there was a dart lodged deep into the muscle, "Oh shit…"


AN: I've given up completely on trying to post on a regular schedule. Special thanks Sharadethia for the usual stuff, editing, advice, ect. Writers block is especially bad right now, so this was a filler chapter that I worked out while trying to write the real stuff.

AN2: If their are any monsters you want to see or any adventures you want Emma and The Doctor to go on just let me know.
