As Bad Wolf and Pond walked up to the building and broke in the front doors, all the team members received simultaneous text messages. The Doctor finally stood up after being unceremoniously tossed to the ground by Bad Wolf. He still couldn't believe BW had done that to him. He was irritated at BW, himself and the whole chain of events. Before he could say or do anything, he heard the team's collective gasps and curses. "What is it?" he asked, irritated but worried at their reactions.

The Captain's face was pale and he looked at the Doctor. "It's from Ianto," he said, his voice shaking a bit.

The Doctor pulled out his phone and read the message. His grip tightened on the phone so hard he almost crushed it. They had just learned the mysterious client who had hired them to retrieve the Blue Box was none other than the Master. He had been playing them all along, keeping them busy and where he could keep an eye on them while he took over Torchwood. The Doctor turned and stared coldly into the cameras fixated on them.

Roranicus shoved the phone in his pocket, his face hardened and prepared to do battle. "I'm goin' in after them," he said in a determined voice.

The Doctor turned back and looked at all of the team members' faces and any disputes or petty bickering that had divided them previously was gone. They were ready. "Captain," he said, his eyes hard.

The Captain nodded his head. "Go, we've got all points of access covered."

The Doctor nodded and looked at Roranicus. "You ready?" Roranicus nodded and they walked toward the front entrance following Bad Wolf and Pond who had no idea how much more dangerous this mission had become.

The atrium inside Torchwood Tower was empty and only dimly lit. Bad Wolf and Pond tensed and scanned the room noticing the cameras and security sensors. Bad Wolf walked up to one camera and smiled broadly at it. "Hello," she said and waved. "What are you waitin' for, Master? Afraid of a couple of Powells?" she taunted, turned and walked toward the stairs.

Pond arched a brow, smiled and asked. "Was that wise? Tauntin' him like that?"

"Naw, got his attention. He has an ego the size of the solar system ya know."

Before they made it far, the lift doors opened and a group of Sontaran warriors who were Archangel's foot soldiers dressed all in tan uniforms with an angel emblem on their sleeves burst out carrying all manner of weapons. "Right then," Bad Wolfed murmured. "Here we go!"

Pond and Bad Wolf ran, vaulting over plants, executing perfect tumbles and gymnastic moves as they raced Toward the stairs. When they rounded a corner, Pond pulled out two guns and began firing at the Sontarans while Bad Wolf armed a sonic grenade and tossed it at their opponents. After the explosion, they ran for the stairwell only to be greeted inside by more of the Archangel henchmen. Pond slid across the floor on her knees and fired on them. Bad Wolf pulled out a twelve inch silver baton which with a click of a button grew to a four foot staff which she wielded expertly, using it to pole vault into their assailants while Pond charge in behind her. Just as they finished disabling their opponents, the Doctor and Roranicus barreled in behind them almost getting shot by Pond.

"What the hell do you two think you're doin?" Pond shouted. "I almost shot you!"

"We're here to save you," Roranicus answered as he kicked the stairwell door shut behind him and the Doctor soniced it locked.

The Doctor turned and glared at Pond's guns. Bad Wolf looked at the two them harshly. "Don't start!" she ordered the Doctor when she saw him staring at Pond's weapons. "If you wanna help then keep up!" She turned to Pond who was still staring at Roranicus although not as harshly as she was at the Doctor. "Pond, you comin?"

The two women started running up the stairs with the Doctor and Roranicus close behind. "Will you stop this suicide run and listen to me!" the Doctor shouted. Bad Wolf looked once over her shoulder but didn't stop.

Finally, Roranicus shouted, "The Master was the person that hired us to find the Blue Box!" This made Bad Wolf and Pond pause.

The Doctor came up between behind them. "Stop acting like a stubborn two year old and listen! It's a trap! We've been manipulated from the start and you're just doing exactly what the Master wants."

Bad Wolf's eyes narrowed. "Don't lecture me about behavior. I knew the risks and this changes nothin' about why we're here. We all agreed the Blue Box is an item of power which Archangel will use against the world. We still have to stop them."

"And shoot first and ask questions later is suddenly your first option is it!" the Doctor snapped.

Before Bad Wolf could respond, maniacal laughter filled the stairwell followed by applause. "Well done, Bad Wolf! I've waited a long time to watch someone emasculate the great Doctor and you've done it! Loved the toss in the parking lot by the way," the Master announced with a cheery voice. "Not bad work with my reception committee either. Of course, that was nothing. If you and the ginger want to party with me, you're going to have to do much better than that. Tell you what, you toss the Doctor down the stairs and ginger shoots the pretty boy and I'll give you ohhhhhh a ten minute head start before I introduce you to my Prydian guard. What do you say BW?"

Bad Wolf found the camera in the corner and looked back at the Doctor like she was considering it. She cocked and eyebrow at him and he raised his eyebrows in response before aiming his sonic at the camera and exploding it.

"Destruction of private property. Doctor, you scofflaw you!" the Master announced. "BW darling, if you wanted the Doctor to watch, all you had to do was say so. Maybe we can even have pretty boy fetch us drinks like a good little Roman bath boy," he purred.

"Sicko," Pond muttered.

"I heard that, ginger! You'll change your tune soon enough when I rule this world," the Master shouted.

"Tell me we don't have to listen to this the whole way up the tower," Bad Wolf murmured as she began climbing.

The Doctor wasted no time in climbing up side by side with her. "We don't have time for rowing. We need to work together," the Doctor said in an sharp autocratic voice.

Bad Wolf wouldn't even look at him, just continued up with Pond and Roranicus behind them whispering quietly to each other. The only thing that lightened Bad Wolf's mood was hearing scraps of conversation from them like, "…never gonna leave you," and "we do this together." All she could think about was how lucky Pond was to have Roranicus. Bad Wolf genuinely liked him and thought he was a good match for Pond. She was envious of that love and devotion. A sigh escaped her as she pondered how her own romantic choices had been nothing but rubbish and how she was doomed to constantly fall for men who would do nothing but hurt her.

The Doctor meanwhile was still fuming, mainly at himself. All he had wanted to do was find Bad Wolf and Pond and keep them safe. He wondered how his life had suddenly become one pear shipped pile of rubbish. It was impossible for him to not notice the sad expression on Bad Wolf's face. She tried to hide it but he knew her too well. "BW, I…." he started to say when a small metal object dropped from above them, bouncing and rolling down the stairs.

"It's a grenade!" BW yelled and they bolted up the stairs as it exploded. The Doctor jerked Bad Wolf backwards as several steel arrows whizzed by them from above them and embedded in the wall which sizzled as they hit it.

"They're shooting thermal tipped arrows at us!" Roranicus exclaimed as he and Pond ducked down.

"Doesn't Torchwood have the best toys!" the Master's voice echoed. "Oh, but I'm going to have fun with so many interesting things that good old Yvonne left laying about." After he announced that there was a scream as Yvonne Hartman fell past them and bounced down the stairwell with a sick thud.

Pond flattened herself against the wall breathing hard and then glared upward. Roranicus gripped Pond harder and looked up at Bad Wolf and the Doctor who were practically shaking with anger.

"Well, so much for Yvonne. Now then, don't just stand their kiddies! You have a building to assault or are you ready to admit your defeat to your lord and master!"

"You sick bastard!" Pond yelled up at him. "The only thing we're admitting is how much we're gonna enjoy shoven one of these arrows up your arse!"

The Master just laughed. "Ooooo kinky! I like kinky gingers. What do you think BW, you up for a little rough and tumble?"

"Let them go, Master! It's me you want to torment!" the Doctor called out. Bad Wolf grabbed his arm. "What are you doin?" she demanded.

"You don't know what he'll do to you. I can't…I can't let that happen. Please BW," he said quietly, his face conveying his concern for her.

Bad Wolf's face softened. She knew he couldn't bare to see anyone hurt. "Doctor…" she started to respond.

"Oh, spare me the self sacrificing prattle!" the Master said almost groaning. "Don't listen to him! He betrayed you BW. Wouldn't you like to see him squirm? I could make that happen for you. Or better yet, let's cut a mutually beneficial deal!" the Master almost purred. "Let's say I make sure the Doctor suffers for your mistreatment, you and the ginger give me a little show and maybe I'll spare half your team and let you live. Play your cards right BW, and you just might profit from this."

"You sick, perverted psycho! Why I'll…" she started to reply.

The Building shook and pieces of concrete began raining down around them. "Oh look, the annoying team members are trying to help you," the Master said almost unconcerned. "Tsk, tsk, Doctor. You're losing your touch with the kiddies. I would have thought you would keep dangerous things like missiles from the children. Now, I'll just have to punish them."

"Enough of the annoying gobby megalomaniac git!" Bad Wolf, said and pulled out a sonic grenade. Before the Doctor could stop her, she rolled and ducked the flying arrows, tossed it up the stairwell and dove back down on top of the Doctor who rolled over on top of her as the grenade exploded.

Pond looked up and grinned. "Now, that's the way to distract the evil git!" She then looked at the Doctor on top of Bad Wolf. "Should we leave you two alone?" Roranicus, helped Pond up and raised his eyebrows at the two of them.

"Off," Bad Wolf ordered, trying not to enjoy having him so close to her.

The Doctor gazed down at her and then shook himself out of it and stood up. He reached down and yanked her up beside him. "When this is over, we are going to talk about a number of things, including your propensity for tossing explosive devices before knowing who or what you are up against."

She pulled her hand from his violently. "I know exactly the kind of people trying to hurt me and my team," she snapped and stormed up the stairs with him hot on her heels.

They made up several flights before several of the Prydian guard repelled down on wires and shot them with a net gun. They were all unceremoniously dragged up the stairs to the Master who stood in the middle of a windowless white room with the Blue Box sitting in a corner with wires attached to it leading to a large rectangular device sitting a few feet away. The only other furniture was a single small white pedestal next to the Master on which a bottle of champagne sat. He stood there gloating as he sipped his champagne.

"Welcome!" he said and walked around his prisoners tangled together in the nets. Another net was dragged in with the Captain and Donna struggling in it. They could hear Donna berating the Captain.

"I told you it wouldn't work! But, noooo you had to get all flash and get us captured," Donna berated the Captain who looked like he'd rather be in a fire fight.

The Master smirked. "This was all too easy. How pathetic."

"Master, listen to me," the Doctor pleaded. "You don't know what that Blue Box will do. All our research indicates it's immensely powerful. It could destroy not just London but half the Earth."

The Master laughed. "Spare me your melodramatic pontifications, Doctor! Unlike you and your inept Scoobies, I know what I'm doing."

Bad Wolf knew she had to do something and fast. She pulled a knife out that was strapped to her ankle and cut the net while the Master was focused on taunting the Doctor and the guards were focused on the struggling Donna and Captain. Soon she knew she could slip out. She looked over at Pond who was reaching into Roranicus jacket for his weapon. Pond looked up an nodded at her. Pond leaned into Roranicus and whispered they needed a distraction. She helped untangle him enough to enable him to reach his phone to text the Captain along with the Tin Dog and Healer who were still free he hoped.

There was only one sonic grenade left in Bad Wolf's pocket. She would only have one chance and she was going to risk exploding it near the Blue Box. As she rolled out of the net she reached into her jacket, activated it and in one swift move, tumbled out and tossed it near the Master and ducked down. She heard the Master laugh and nothing else. She looked over at his smirking face and a metal object in his hand and could practically feel the Doctor's glare. One of the guards jerked her up and dragged her over to the Master while another pointed his weapon at Roranicus and Pond so they couldn't escape.

"Tsk tsk, darling," he mocked. "As if I didn't see that coming and didn't have this handy little gadget," he explained. "I did tell you Torchwood has the best toys didn't I?" He tossed the metal cylinder in the air. "Deactivates all sorts of nasty things like explosive devices tossed at me by homicidal blondes." Bad Wolf shot him a vicious look and knew it was time for Plan B, distract the Master so the rest of the team could escape and stop him.

"Yeah, I'll bet you need protection. Just look at this place. A whole army all to protect you from me," Bad Wolf teased.

The Master laughed. "Oh BW! You and your pathetic little band are hardly a threat. You're nothing more than an amusing distraction. Although…you might be a bit more of an enticing distraction," he said and ran a finger down the side of her face. Bad Wolf spit at him. He wiped his face, slapped her hard across her cheek and grinned as he looked her up and down lasciviously. The two guards holding her chuckled.

"Ohhh feisty! I do like a good feisty plaything. I'll bet you have endurance too." He looked over to the Doctor who was giving him a murderous look. "What do you think, Doctor? Bet I could make her scream in more ways than one."

"Let her go," the Doctor said in an icy voice. He was fuming. Part of him was angry at Bad Wolf at trying a stunt like that and another part, a possessive jealous part, was livid that the Master had touched her.

The Master laughed. "Oh I don't think so. It's sort of the culmination of your failure and I'm going to enjoy it. You get to watch me dominate not just the world but your juicy little blonde," he said with relish.

"I don't think so, Master. I think I'm going to stop you and make you regret any harm that comes to BW or anyone else I care about," he said, his eyes dark with fury.

Pond and Roranicus watched this exchange and had activated their mobiles to broadcast what was happening to the Tin Dog and the Healer hoping they were on their way with Jake. Meanwhile, the Captain and Donna were focused on the Blue Box. Donna leaned over to the Captain. "We've got to do something!" she whispered loudly. "It looks like he's got it wired up as a power source. If he turns that thing on, there's no tellin' what'll happen."

The Captain had an idea but it could end badly. Donna and he were tangled together wrapped tightly in the net. There was a gun tucked away in his shoulder holster but he was too tangled up in the net to reach it. Donna had more flexibility and could probably reach it. "Donna, are you weapons trained?" he whispered in her ear.

Donna looked at him wincing as the net cut into her shoulder. "Depends on the weapon."

One of the guards came over and kicked the captain in the head admonishing "No talking!" Donna glared at the guard but before she could complain, the Captain squeezed her bum. She whipped around ready to let him have it when he winked at her and looked down toward his chest. Donna nodded and reached in and found his weapon.

Bad Wolf was done with this smarmy Master. She hooked her leg around one of the guards holding her, twisted around and head butted the other as she tossed them to the ground and shoved them aside. She charged the Master. He was ready for her and they began sparring with her executing several jujitsu moves only to be blocked by him. Each of them scored a few blows on the other. Bad Wolf eventually feigned to the left and grabbed his arm and threw him but not before he kicked out at her legs so that she lost her balance. They rolled around until he was on top of her, pinning her down.

While they sparred, the Doctor was struggling to find his sonic's laser setting to slice through the net. Pond grabbed him by his coat collar and pulled hard. "The guards are focused on them, we can use the hole Bad Wolf cut! Come on!" Soon they were untangling themselves from the net and rolling out. Roranicus was first and when the guards saw him, he pulled out pepper spray and doused them. Soon the other guards were descending and several shots cracked off as Donna shot them in the legs and shoulder. Pond untangled herself from the net, rolled out and aimed the gun she pulled from Roranicus and backed up to him. "Pepper spray?" she said over her shoulder

"Oi, it worked and besides, someone knicked my gun!" he responded with a smile while holding out his pepper spray. Pond grinned and narrowed her eyes at several guards who were staggering around blinded from the pepper spray. The Doctor scrambled out after them glaring at Pond with her gun and then at Donna before turning his attention to the Master..

He found the Master holding down Bad Wolf with two guards next to him. "I wouldn't unless you want to see these white walls splattered with a wolf," he said as he held a gun to Bad Wolf's head. The Doctor slowly lowered his sonic and dropped it on the floor with a thunk.

"Drop your weapons!" he ordered the rest of the team, all of whom complied.

"Now then…." the Master started to say before the building shook from an explosion. He turned to his guards. "I told you to kill them! Take the pulse cannons and blow them up, blow up everything for all I care!" Several of the guard ran from the room. The Master, still training his gun at Bard Wolf yanked her up and dragged her over to a control panel wired to the Blue Box. "Where was I…Oh yes! Time to take over the world!" he said and flicked a few switches. A humming noise filled the room and everyone could feel the hair raise up on their skin. The humming grew louder and louder until the very walls seemed to vibrate.

The Master shoved Bad Wolf back until she hit one of the white walls and he practically jumped up with glee, his eyes wild and filled with insanity. The Doctor slowly made his way over to Bad Wolf who couldn't take her eyes off the Master. The Doctor took her hand in his. "It'll be all right," he said softly.

She turned and looked at him. "I'm sorry, Doctor for everything. I wish…" she started to say but the Doctor interrupted her, gazing at her with such emotion in his eyes.

"Don't. We still have time to talk and not when there's an evil megalomaniac to stop from taking over the world. I promise you, this isn't the end." Bad Wolf smiled softly at him wishing that were true. The air in the room shifted and it was like shadowy figures were shooting to and fro around the white room.

Another explosion rocked the building and cracked the walls. Dust fill filled the air and the shadows floating above them seemed whipped into a frenzy and made a whispering noise.

"It's like an Army of Ghosts," Bad Wolf whispered, looking up at them half fascinated and half terrified.

"What the hell are those things?" Donna asked.

By this time, most of the guards had fled the room and the Captain, Roranicus and Pond had made their over to the Doctor. The Master stood at the controls grinning manically while two of his guards stood next to him staring at the dark figures and trembling.

"That's not good," the Captain said, shaking his head. He gripped the gun he had retrieved from the floor and looked at the Doctor. "Doc, I'm ready to end this cause I gotta say. It's looking like…"

"Doomsday," Roranicus whispered and pulled Pond tightly to him.

"This, this is not doomsday. I've seen doomsday and it does not look like this!" the Doctor vehemently replied and turned toward the Master. "We have to get the controls from him and shut it down."

The Captain gripped his gun but the Doctor grabbed his arm. "No! You can't. If you hit the controls or the Blue Box, you could make it worse."

"I won't miss," the Captain replied, his eyes narrowing on the Master. Just as he raised his gun, part of the ceiling collapsed on top of him and the rest of them all stumbled backwards. Jake ran in and began firing at the Master and his guards. This shook the guards out of their stupor and they fired back hitting Jake in the shoulder. He collapsed to the floor cursing.

The Master's looked up annoyed and Bad Wolf rushed him knocking him from the controls. Donna was close behind and with a tremendous right hand hook, punched one of the guards knocking him out and into the other guard who she kicked in the groin and stomped into the ground. After she had them sorted she ran up to the Doctor who was now at the control panel. Roranicus ran to tend to Jake's injuries while Pond helped to dig the Captain out from the debris that had fallen on him.

While Bad Wolf struggled with the Master, she yelled, "Doctor! Get that thing off!" The ghosts or whatever they were seemed drawn to her during her struggle with the Master and it was causing her to lose concentration as they swirled around the two of them faster and faster. She slipped a few times and the Master fired his gun. Bad Wolf felt the bullets whiz by her and prayed none of her team was hit. She eventually slammed the Masters arm against the wall, trying to wrench the gun from him. He pushed off and she fell backwards but unlike the last time, she was ready for him. She used the momentum of falling backwards to flip him over. His gun went flying and Bad Wolf was on him as he tried to scramble up. He punched her hard and jumped up almost growling at her. Bad Wolf shot up too and kneed him in the groin as they struggled. As he doubled over, she drop kicked his face until he stumbled backwards and slid down the wall.

Bad Wolf turned and saw the Doctor tugging at his hair as he tried to shut the machine off and Donna gesturing wildly by his side. She looked at the Blue Box and the a light on top of it was flashing. She was almost mesmerized by it and swore she heard some type of song. She looked at the walls and thought they were starting to crack and a light was glowing out of them. "Doctor!" she shouted at him, panic in her voice.

"It's not working! It won't turn off!" he shouted back.

By this time, Pond had freed the Captain and ran over with Roranicus' gun to keep an eye on the two guards who were regaining consciousness. Bad Wolf ran and grabbed the Doctor's sonic, shouted to him, tossed him his sonic and ran over to help. The Doctor caught it easily and aimed his sonic at the device and soon the humming sounds were gone as were the mysterious black phantoms. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Tin Dog and the Healer ran into the room, both of them toting massive laser canons.

"The building's secured!" the Healer shouted, scanning the room for any threats before setting down her laser canon to help Roranicus with Jake who was laying in a pool of blood. The Tin Dog dropped his canon and ran over to help the Doctor rip apart the machine that had very nearly destroyed them all. While Donna pulled the wires off of the Blue Box, stopping once or twice to stare at it curiously, Bad Wolf looked over at the Master who was still unconscious. The Captain run up and high fived her. "Nice work BW! Too bad we don't have a recording of you neutralizing the Master. I know some people who'd like copies of that." She grinned back at him and pulled out her mobile.

"UNIT's got the building surrounded," the Tin Dog mentioned to her, grinning as he continued to work. He turned to the Doctor. "You got some friend there in Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart. He says to send his regards and asks if you could please not blow up the entire building this time." The Doctor looked at the Tin Dog and grinned, a twinkle of naughtiness in his eyes.

"That's a story you gotta tell me one of these days," the Tin dog said as he pulled the casing off the Master's doomsday device. Bad Wolf couldn't help and smile and shook her head as she texted Ianto to let him know their status.

Just as they were starting to relax and Bad Wolf and the Captain had finished dragging the tied up guards to the side, everything went pear shaped. The Master regained consciousness and grabbed his gun.

Bad Wolf screamed "No!" as he aimed it at the Doctor. The Tin Dog shoved the Doctor aside collapsing on top of him as the Master fired his gun. Another shot fired. Everyone turned stunned eyes on the Healer who stood with her firearm pointed at the now collapsed Master. She then bolted to the Tin Dog.

She rolled him over, tears pooling in her eyes. "No you don't!" she cried. "You're not leaving me! You promised me a Thai dinner if I helped bomb the building and you're gonna pay up! Do you hear me you cocky lump!"

The Tin Dog began coughing and opened his eyes and grinned at her. "I knew you liked me!" he said and looked down at his chest. "Oh that bloody well hurts! Torchwood could make some improvements to their body armor!"

The Healer straightened and then touched his chest eventually pulling off his Jacket to reveal a bullet imbedded in some new lightweight bullet proof vest. She looked over at the Tin Dog and glared at him. "That's not funny! You could have been killed! Do you see where this bullet would have hit you!" she yelled at him looking at how close it was to his heart.

He grinned at her and then winced. "Sorry, babe. I had to go for it you know. It was the Doctor. Sorry I scared you," he said and tried to sit up and fell back down.

The Healer rolled her eyes and peeled the armor off of him. "Stop squirming! Just because it stopped the bullet doesn't mean you're not hurt!" she lectured as she looked at the beginnings of a huge bruise on his chest. "I'm taking you to the hospital for a full work up," she informed him back in professional mode but with a new look in her eye as she gazed down at him.

The Doctor walked over to the Master and knelt next to him. He took his pulse. "He's still alive! Get an ambulance!" The Healer looked over at him. Part of her was relieved that she hadn't killed him. It was against her oath as physician to take life but then there was a part of her that was sorry she hadn't ended him. He was a ruthless killer who wouldn't have hesitated to kill anyone on her team or anyone else she loved. She looked away and then at the gun she had dropped. It would be a while before she would pick up a gun again.

Bad Wolf watched the Doctor treat the Master. She didn't know what to make of it but then her emotions for the Doctor were all over the place. She loved him. Of that she was sure, but she didn't' trust him and especially not with him hovering over the Master. Yet, a part of her was proud of him for not heartlessly walking away and letting their enemy die alone. She had no doubt that's what the Master would do and that's what separated the two brilliant men. The Doctor wanted to protect and save people no matter what, even at the cost of his own life.

The Captain walked up and put his hand on her shoulder as several UNIT soldiers and medics rushed into the room. "Roranicus, Pond and the Healer are going with Jake and the Tin Dog to the hospital. Donna's gonna handle UNIT."

Bad Wolf turned to the Captain. "The Doctor. He's…" she started to say but didn't finish as she turned back to watch him work on the Master with the UNIT medics.

"They go way back which is why this thing with the Master is so personal. I don't know the whole story. Only that once they were friends." The Captain explained.

Bad Wolf turned and looked at him. "Friends?"

"They had a bit of a falling out. Each chose a different path," the Captain said watching the Doctor with the Master.

A UNIT general walked in followed by the Madame and several armed guards. She was smiling sweetly and providing UNIT with information regarding the Torchwood building. Bad Wolf was less than pleased to see her here, especially the way she kept gazing at the Doctor. That was about it for Bad Wolf. She couldn't be here anymore, especially with Reinette here looking at the Doctor like as if she wanted to take up where they had left off back in Paris.

"Don't," the Captain said, sensing Bad Wolf's anger at Reinette and the look in her eyes. He'd seen that "run away" look enough times in the Doctor's eyes to know what it meant. "He needs you." Bad Wolf looked at the Doctor barking orders to everyone as the Master was stabilized and put on a stretcher.

She shook her head and looked off at the Blue Box and knew she couldn't be here anymore. She couldn't even respond to the Captain. Her emotions were mixed and now with the Madame here…she just wanted to run. She was tired of being hurt.

Donna walked over to them. "The Madame informed UNIT what was going on. She's provided them with information about what Torchwood was up to here and is helping out as a consultant. Donna was worried about Bad Wolf. She looked over at the Doctor and the Master woke up and looked at the Doctor and began spouting off how they'd never imprison him and that he'd always win She watched as the Doctor's face hardened but still bore the sense of some inner pain.

The Captain, sensing the Doctor's mixed feelings walked over to support his friend. When he turned back to wave Bad Wolf over, she was gone. Donna walked slowly over to him and shook her head and mouthed "Let her go." The Captain nodded and along with Donna helped deal with UNIT. Soon, the building was secure and they were alone in the white room with the Blue Box.

"Look, I'm gonna go to head to the hospital and meet up with Roranicus, Pond and the Healer to check on Jake and the Tin Dog. I'll catch up with you later," the Captain said to the Doctor.

The Doctor was staring at the Blue Box which was being wheeled out of the room with Ianto overseeing it's removal. The Captain walked over to him. "She's gone isn't she?" the Doctor asked without turning to look at the Captain.

"Yeah. I'm sorry," the Captain answered. "I think UNIT wants a word with us downstairs. Want me to handle it."

"Yeah," the Doctor answered softly.

The Captain turned to leave and paused at the door. "You gonna be all right?"

"I'm always all right," the Doctor answered sadly as he stood alone in the empty white room.
