Chapter 09 Rory's Choice
Stepping inside the tent was like stepping inside a huge cavern, it would have been pitch black if there weren't high beam lights placed around the tent. The space inside was littered with a motley collection of moldy furniture, that was being lounged on by assorted gang members. Amy and Rory were caught by these gang members as soon as they were thrust into the tent and were then shoved into a man sized bird cage that had been pushed against the wall. The cage reeked of bird poo and they weren't alone in this prison. They were surprised to find a man slumped on the ground in a grey trench coat, with brown wavy hair and seemed to have ten days worth growth on his face. He looked to be in his early thirties and had a cloak of sorrow about him.
The man stood up with a start, when the door of the cage slammed shut and was locked behind the Ponds.
"Who are you, why are you here" demanded the Man.
"Oh don't you know, we're the pool cleaners. I really thought it was obvious" said Amy sarcastically.
Rory gave a guilty smile, not knowing whether it was appropriate to start laughing while being held capture by a bunch of psychopath's.
"What" said the man nonplussed?
"I thought it was obvious since we're stuck in a smelly cage with a equally smelly man, instead being up there where the air is clear" said Amy crossing her arms on her chest.
"Oh" said the man slumping back to the ground.
Rory the always caring nurse bent until he was eye level with the Man.
"I'm Rory and this is my wife Amy, how long has it been since you last ate" asked a concerned Rory.
The Man looked up and his big brown mournful met Rory's eyes.
"The names Shaun and I haven't eaten since they first threw me in here, over a week ago"
Amy's hard expression melted at this and knelt down next to Rory to talk to Shaun.
"How did you end up in this of all places" asked Amy softly.
"My sister, she was abducted by the Zombie gang over a month ago" cried Shaun as tears start streaming from his eyes.
"What happened to you sister, Shaun" asked Rory cautiously.
"She's over there" said Shaun, one hand over his face wiping the tears the other pointing.
He was pointing at one of the Zombie's, a women in a leather bikini with a skull painted on her face. She was sitting cross-legged on a table among the other gang members who were now lounging among the furniture chatting loudly.
"Those monsters somehow changed her, she never used to be anything like that. She was a nurse at a retirement home and now look at her" cried Shaun.
"Are you sure, she's not here of her own free will people can change" said Rory kindly.
Shaun knuckled the tears from his eyes before look up at Rory.
"My sister has a good life, a great life why would she throw it all away for this lot. No somethings controlling her, making into this Gothic Psycho"murmered Shaun.
"It will be ok, we have a friend who can help your sister. He's a doctor and I am sure if there anything wrong with her my friend will make her better" said Amy putting a comforting hand on Shaun's shoulder.
Hope appeared like a morning sun rise on Shaun's face as his tears evaporated.
"Really" asked Shaun?
"Trust me Shaun, there isn't thing in the universe the Doctor can't do" said Rory.
The moment was shattered by the Zombie gang who tired of talking had crowded round the cage, baying for there blood. They unlocked the cage, grabbed the Ponds and Shaun, dragged them out of the cage. There was the screeching of wood against concrete as some of the gang members moved the moldly furniture to make room in the tent. They then formed a circle and pushed Rory and Shaun into the center, keeping Amy close at knife point. The Zombie who had been wielding the metal pipe at the cafe stepped forward.
"Ok lad's we're going to play a game, a game I like to call Blowout" said the Zombie.
He threw what Rory recognised as a type of futuristic gun in the meter gape inbetween him and Shaun.
"The first one to pick up that gun and blow the other brains out gets to go free. Before you get some smart ideas, that laser pistol only has enough charge for one shot and if you threaten us with it we kill Cupacakes women and Shauns sister" explained the Zombie.
Shauns sister stepped forward, a giant hunting knife to her own thoat.
"That right Little Bro, if you don't shoot Cupacakes brains out I will slit my own throat" said Shaun's sister.
"But Carrol" started Shaun but was cut off by his Sister.
"Don't believe I won't do it Little Bro, things have changed" said Carrol pushing the sharp knife tighter against her neck.
Tight enough for a small trickly of blood to start spilling down her neck,
"An Cupacake if you don't blow out Shaun's brain we will cut your pretty little girls throat. Got it" said the Zombie holding a knife to Amy throat.
Rory and Shaun both looked down at the Laser Pistol lying in front of them and for that second time seemed to stop.
Rory wondered could he kill a man in cold blood to save the life of the women he loved. The women who he'd loved all of his life and waited two thousand years for.
