Chapter 9
(10 minutes later in a street with a few large houses, some shops and a few smaller houses, the Doctor, Jess, Gwen, Mickey, Vastra, Jenny and Strax are stood 5 metres away from a market stall)
Jess: Are you sure this is it?
Vastra: Yes child, this is where the signal led to
Doctor: But you couldn't find anything right?
Jenny: Well we could, but we couldn't pinpoint it exactly
Doctor: Well then let me counter in the possibility of a cloaking device.
(The Doctor scans the area with his sonic screwdriver and the signal gets stringer the closer the sonic is to the large house 8 feet away)
Mickey: I guess that's where we have to be then
(They all walk towards the house)
Strax: Shall I use a bomb to rid the house of the Graske?
Doctor: No explosives or weaponry of any kind Strax
(They walk up to the front door of the house and the Doctor lets himself in using the sonic)
Doctor: Right then let's have a little scout around, Jenny, Jess, Vastra with me, Gwen, Mickey you go with Strax and Mickey make sure he doesn't do anything I wouldn't
Mickey: Sure thing boss.
Doctor: Okay, we'll check upstairs and the attic, you guys check down stairs and the garden, meet back here in 20 minutes.
(The two groups go their separate ways, 5 minutes later with the Doctor's group who are still checking the rooms on the second floor)
Jenny: You guys found anything yet?
Jess: Not a thing
Vastra: Well then, I guess it is time for us to go upstairs to the attic
(The Doctor points the sonic towards the ceiling and the attic ladder unfolds, Jess is last to climb but she stumbles, before she hits the floor though Vastra grabs her with her tongue and lifts her up)
Jess: Thank you
Vastra: You're welcome my dear
Doctor: Let's check this attic
(With Gwen and Mickey who are walking together about a metre behind Strax)
Gwen: Don't you think his head looks like a potato?
Strax: Excuse me madam but my head does not look like a vegetable from the ground
(Gwen and Mickey snigger)
Mickey: Strax, we've finished down here shall we go and see if the garden has any clues to give us?
Strax: That is what the Doctor wanted
Mickey: Lead the way then.
(15 minutes later they all meet at the foot of the stairs)
Doctor: Did you guys find anything?
Gwen: Nah, what about you?
Doctor: Nope
Jenny: What about the cellar?
(Jenny pointed to a door under the staircase and they all climb down the stairs and into a murky darkness)
Jess: (sighs) It's so dark.
Doctor: Let me fix that
(The Doctor flicks on the Sonic Screwdrivers torchlight as bright as it will go without damaging their eyes)
Doctor: Let's go find those Graske
(They all walk off)
