Chapter 12: Meeting

Ten Downing Street

Rose and Mickey walked into a large room where about fifteen people were casually chatting with each other about their qualifications and experience while waiting for the meeting to start. Rose smirked, turned to Mickey, and said, "These supposed experts are all bragging about what they know or think they know. I've seen things that even these 'professionals' have only seen in their worst nightmares."

Knowing that all of these people including him have dealt with the Cybermen, Mickey defended them by saying, "Well, all of these people have dealt with Cybermen. They do get credit for that."

Rose looked over the crowd of people then back at Mickey before saying, "Yeah, but that is only Cybermen. They have never seen or had to deal with Daleks, the Autons, gasmask zombies, psychotic human trampolines, the Gelth, Jagrafess, Reapers, Sycorax, werewolves, clockwork men, Krillitanes, cat nuns, and an Abzorbaloff. Oh, and I can't forget Satan himself." Rose looked back at Mickey to see his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide. She smiled and said, "Yeah well, you already knew about the Daleks, the Autons, the Sycorax, the Krillitanes, and clockwork men." He continued to stare at her until she shot him a look that said 'What's wrong?'

Mickey shook his head and said, "Satan!? You met Satan."

Rose nodded with a chuckle and said, "Yes, well I didn't actually meet him, per say, but he did tell me that I would 'die in battle so very soon.' From what the Doctor said on Bad Wolf Bay, I guess he was right." She looked back over at Mickey who still had a wide eyed look on his face.

Shortly, each person was handed a security badge and directed to the room where the meeting would be taking place. Once everyone was seated two people walked in through another door at the front of the room. Both of them were rather large, but Rose and Mickey specifically recognized one of them. It was Margaret. Rose and Mickey looked at each other and smiled. The Secretary of Defense was wearing a highly decorated uniform which showed off his status, or at least the status of his human appearance and alias. They both sat down before the Secretary of Defense said, "Thank you for coming. All of you are experts when it comes to knowledge of aliens, and that is what we need with everything that has happened here today." He reached into his pocket, and removed a small device with a mauve button on top. Rose and Mickey look at each other, knowing exactly what is about to happen. The Secretary looked at everyone before smirking and saying, "I would also like to thank you for wearing your security badges. It will help identify the bodies." With that said he hit the button. Rose and Mickey both felt a small shock originate from the badge and smiled. The Secretary on the other hand seemed panicked and continued to hit the button repeatedly. He turned to Margaret and demanded, "What is wrong? Why isn't this thing working?"

Margaret looked just as panicked as the Secretary and screamed, "How the hell should I know?"

Rose started to laugh hysterically at the sight of their confusion. She stood up with a grin, walked up and down the center aisle, and said, "I guess maybe you should send out a transmission to your bidders because you are going to fail." She smirked at Margaret and said, "There will be no victory for the Slitheen today." At this point the two Slitheen were stunned. How could this lowly human know about the Slitheen? Rose's smirk turned into a grin, when she saw their increased confusion.

The Secretary of Defense and Margaret glared at Rose. They both reached up, unzipped their foreheads, and slowly shed their human skins. Everyone in the room, except for Rose and Mickey of course, ran to the door screaming, only to discover . . .

. . . that the door was locked!
