Chapter Ten

Leon stretched his limbs, especially his arms and fingers. "Oh, that was a little rough." He murmured, his head tilted.

Martha looked at him, "A little! We almost died!"

"Yup, but I got 5 million out of it, she just didn't pay me the rest but that ain't to bad!" The magician said happily. The Doctor's companion sighed deeply but did take into account that her life had just been saved by her captor. "Thanks for saving me," she stated, not exactly sure why he had done it but grateful none the less. "I like you and I don't like her so of course I'm gonna. Where did I decide to go again?" He grinned, head turning in all directions, "Oh yeah, we're at Julie's house. But looks like she's out. Oh well."

The Doctor was jubilant at Martha escaping, "Now what? She escaped! I knew she would!" He said, underlining the 'knew'. The Rani didn't seem very bothered, "That doesn't matter."

"I was well prepared, Leon has a tracker on him, which he's probably forgotten about. The moronic male that he is," Franziska explained spitefully. "So if we need to find them it won't be difficult."

The Doctor was still glad she had escaped though, it was better than her being dead. The Rani took out a device that looked like a television remote and turned a small dial that was on it. Two blue people came out from a hallway and grabbed the Doctor's arms. "So your going to try to kill me now?" He asked, although he knew that they wouldn't. Not until they had all the data the two women needed.

"Not yet," The Rani shook her head, "We still only have around on eighth of the information we need." The Doctor's eyes met with the man holding his right arm, they were cold, and emotionless, unblinking. "What have you done to these people? Have you brainwashed them? Like you always do, you make innocent people your pawns!" He shouted, anger boiling inside of him.

"I didn't this time, I was just lucky that Franziska already had done that for me." She smirked.

"And you think if you say it's in the name of science you can do whatever you like?!" The Doctor glared at her. Franziska however wasn't looking at him so he didn't even flinch. She continued with her writing on scientific equations. "It is in the name of science though."

"Science is meant to help people! To make medicines and save lives!"

"Or discover things." She argued, "Not all experiments have to be practical do they? Some scientists do stuff just for the fact so other scientists will be able to know about it!"

Franziska seemed very defensive on her motives. "So your doing this to be recognized as a scientist?" The Doctor asked, not thinking it justified it at all.

"No! That isn't the only reason! If you do something like this then another scientist can make it into something practical later! Example, could Professor Hawking have discovered so much if another hadn't discovered other little things about the universe? Of course not!" Franziska shouted, her anger almost matching the Doctor's.

"So you think that means you can basically do whatever you want? Brainwash and kidnap people?!"

"That is exactly correct Doctor, it does." The Rani agreed, ignoring that the Doctor was asking questions. "Now, No.23 and No. 46 take him to the room at the end of the hall and make sure to deadlock it. But first," she walked over to the Doctor and removed the Sonic screwdriver from his large jacket pockets and his physic paper. "Okay, now take him away."
