Chapter Nine

It took no less then two hours to successfully extract all of the cameras on the River's cat suit, a process which involved The Doctor standing behind the boot of the car, watching the footage of Brennan and Booth as he determined where exactly each camera was. "Right a bit, left a little, now down, down," The Doctor cried, waving his hands around erratically.

"Doctor!" Booth cried, irritated as he turned to face the other man briefly, "Any lower and I'll be touching her chest here!"

"I could do a strip search if you'd like" River purred suggestively, winking at him.

Booth turned a deep red and mumbled, "that won't be necessary" as Brennan looked over curiously, "judging by her suggestive body posture and gaze I can conclude that she likes you Booth" Temperance said as if it were not apparent to her partner.

"Yeah, Thanks Bones" Booth muttered, gesturing with a hand for her to stop talking.

Smirking slightly, Brennan began to walk backwards, towards the cyberman that had been handcuffed to the handles on the passenger seat of the Volkswagen in a most peculiar way.

As Booth had found out, "Bette's" hands were much too large to fit into handcuffs so the detective had been forced to improvise by manacling one of the metal tubes running from its ears to its head instead. This meant that the Cyberman couldn't move or see anywhere other then the space directly in front of it.

"who-is-there-I-can't-see-anything" The Cyberman cried in its robotic voice which almost sounded like pleading to Brennan.

"Don't say anything to it!' The Doctor cried from behind the car. Brennan looked up to see him watching her closely instead of the TV screens as he was supposed to.

"Why not?" Brennan cried back, making the Doctor growl in frustration as she walked towards him. One day he thought, he was going to meet someone, and when he said "Don't do that, or don't go over there" they would say "yes Doctor" and not question him.

"For all we know Temperance, that thing is playing a very devious, not to mention dangerous game where it lulls us into a false sense of security and then it will attack us, as it's nature suggests it will"

Brennan cocked her head to the side as if assessing him. "Your conclusions are based on careful deliberation, I like that about you" She said simply and the Doctor beamed at her, reaching up as if to fiddle with his bowtie and then remembering it wasn't there. He was wearing a toga now, he reminded himself, togas are cool. "Thank you" he said softly, "that's what I like about you too"

Brennan smiled in thanks before going on, "But Booth says that following Instinct is also important"

The Doctor frowned, nodding and then shaking his head, unable to decide, "Both I think. Seeley and River, they're different to us in my opinion. They're more, well, spur of the moment sort of people. We are like that too, but that's because we've already run through the possibilities before we begin."

"Done!" Booth cried triumphantly from somewhere near the front of the car, interrupting their discussion suddenly. Brennan and the Doctor turned towards him, observing as River spun around once to show that all camera's had been successfully detected.

The Doctor looked back at the TV sets in the back of the boot to make sure and sure enough, he was met by a series of identical grey fuzzy lines across each screen.

"Great work," The Doctor said, clapping his hands together. "Right now, everyone in the car!"

There was a rush as everyone tried to scramble to the driver's seat at once, except for Brennan who clambered into the back and settled in comfortably.

She watched as the other 3 began to argue, "I'm the detective here!' Booth cried, making his case as quickly as he could. "I'm the oldest!" The Doctor cried back, "I should be the one to drive; I have been piloting my vehicle for over 700 years you know"

"And leaving the Handbrake on the whole time" River finished pointly as Booth cried in an incredulous voice "700 years? You'd need like a senior-senior-senior citizen card then wouldn't you?"

River sniggered as the Doctor whined, pushing herself in between the two men to stake her own claim at driving, "I've driven everything from a Cadillac to a jeep, I know cars" She said in a quiet tone. There was silence after that, both men looking at her blankly before they started back up again,

"I can drive this contraption perfectly well thank you," The Doctor shouted over the top of Booth's voice, "Oh no, you have the look of a maniac driver, I can tell!"

"I can drive" Brennan called out form her space in the car, tired of their bickering and anxious to get going.

The others ignored her, continuing to argue,

"It's because I'm a woman isn't it? Ugh, you men are all the same" River replied, rolling her eyes.

"That is so sexist, you know that!" Booth cried back angrily,

"I'm a Time lord you know, once one of the greatest races in the galaxy here" The Doctor piped up and Booth rounded on him instead. "So now he's going to pull rank on us? Well I'm the only one with a valid driver's license!"

"I have the psychic paper, that'll work as a licence." The Doctor replied as River added, "Yeah, Like he says, He's got psychic paper...that I can use!"

"I can drive!" Brennan cried once again, more loudly this time.

Still they ignored her,

"I am not letting you use my psychic paper!" The Doctor shot back to River, "Next time you visit the Time agency you can acquire some of your own"

"I drove us here remember!" Booth yelled angrily and the other two laughed at him, "Yeah" River scoffed, "and we ended up tumbling off the road!"

"Because a laser beam hit us!" Booth roared back.

Suddenly a loud honk drowned out their arguing and they all turned as one to see what was happening. Brennan was in the front seat of the car now, her hand impatiently pressing the car horn.

"Move it or lose it!" She cried in a mock angry tone before she smiled at Booth, "is that how it's said?" she asked, "I don't usually use colloquial language"

Booth opened his mouth and shut it like a goldfish, "y-yeah, yeah that's it"

"Using my 'instinct' Doctor" she grinned at the Timelord who gawped at her like Booth was doing, "well get in then!"

River was the first to admit defeat, striding over to the back door and clambering in, "well," she reasoned out loud, "at least it's not one of them driving"

The other two followed soon after, silently getting into the car and grumbling under their breaths.

"Didn't you say something about kidnapping the Cyberman?" River asked the Doctor smugly.

Wordlessly he nodded and she grinned, "Well I don't think our 'victim' should know where we're taking her." And with that she fumbled around the floor of the car, picking something off the ground and brandishing it in front of her. It was a large brown paper bag. Without hesitating she leaned over the front passenger seat and stuck it over the Cyberman's face, breaking the bag as it collided with the handcuffs, but nether-the-less serving its purpose.

"This-is-no-way-to-treat-an-old-lady!" The Cyberman cried in defence and River rolled her eyes.

"Come on Brennan!" she cried enthusiastically, much to the two men's annoyance.

Her cheery nature soon turned to a look of horror as Brennan started the car and put her hands on the wheel. The Car lurched backwards, screeching horribly as it did so.


Hope you Liked it :)
