Chapter Ten
"What you are asking me to do John is incredible?" Christopher Dettelbach said crossly. At G.I.N. HQ Commander Lyons had managed to get the head of A.A.I.A. on the satellite link. It was nearly Midnight in Britain, but it was only Six O'clock in the evening in America. In the world of international security the words "Nine to Five" didn't exist.
Christopher Dettelbach was roughly forty years old a handsome man with the careful gaze of a retired military man. He dark hair had traces of grey and the steel shade of grey in his eyes.
"All we want to know, is what the FBI were doing around the Tenworth Robotics factory between 1981-1982?" explained Lyons
"I have no idea" Dettelbach replied "The FBI, regard the A.A.I.A. as a simple bunch of UFO hunters. I know that they were there for over eighteen months and found nothing."
"I know" Lyons added "G.I.N.'s interest is simple, what was the FBI interest in the Tenworth Factory. Anything we find we'll send directly to you so that both the FBI and A.A.I.A."
Dettelbach thought for a moment "It ain't going to be easy John. The FBI don't trust anyone and I'll have to go through both the FBI and the Pentagon."
"We fear that there may be a top secret machine which if it tell into the wrong hands would be devastating to the entire world, could lead to another 911. But as this threat is on British soil we along with MI6 will be investigating it. I'm currently missing two agents and I can't lose anymore time!" Lyons pleaded
"I'll say it's a urgent emergency." Dettelbach responded "But it will take nearly 24 hours."
Lyons sighed "If that's the best you can do, so be it! Let me know if there are any developments"
"Will do" ended Dettelbach and the line went dead.
Putting his hands in his trouser pockets Lyons asked "Miss Barrett any news of Professor Ormerod?"
"No news from the British Embassy in Cambria." Miss Barrett replied "And no news from The Doctor either."
"I only hope that tricky Timelord knows what he is doing." Lyons sighed before collapsing in to a chair.
Back at the Tenworth Factory The Doctor had found what he was looking for. In a filing cabinet he had found an up to date plan of the factory. And he had found something interesting like The Tardis, the factory looked bigger on the inside, as well as the offices and the factory floor there was also a large array of laboratories, where the products must be tested prior to being sold. He really wanted to see what was beneath the Factory Floor, he was expecting a simple basement. However according to the plans there was basement that ran the entire length and width of the factory floor. The plans had the words 'No longer in service' written across the top in bright red letters. However according to the plans only one lift still managed to connect the basement with the rest of the factory. "If you were going to hide a government agent" The Doctor thought "Downstairs, out of the way, perfect." He put the map back in the draw and left the office.
The lift on the plans was at the of one corridor which was connected to the main floor, using his torch The Doctor founded it, it was plain with an 'out of order' sign.
Entering it. He pressed his sonic screwdriver on the panel in the wall and the doors opened. The Door was looking down the shaft shining his torch down. He could see the bottom "Right going down." He sighed and slowly he put out his foot and he left himself go.
The Doctor felt the soles of his boot slam into the metallic floor of the lift shaft. He was more surprised than hurt. But the impact was strong enough to wind him. It was pitch black and The Doctor had no idea where the lift itself was. Taking the torch out of his pocket he turned it and saw a pair of smooth silver doors in front of him. Behind which maybe the illusive basement.
He looked at the panel and had an idea he took out the cufflinks again and placed it against the door, then he began to pull slowly the door began to open, seizing his chance, The Doctor chocked the door open with his foot and used it to get his hands into the small crack.
Using all his strength The Doctor forced the doors open and threw himself through. The door led to a small passage way with two door leading off for some unknown reason The Doctor decided to try the right door it led to a dark and foreboding room. It was stuffy and felt unpleasant. Taking the torch from his pocket he began to scan his surroundings. The room didn't look modern in anyway. With bare brick walls and no natural light the room looked about fifteen feet long by eighteen feet wide. Just then Something caught The Doctor's eye and he shown his torch forward and what he saw made his jaw drop.
