Arg it's been so long since I have updated. But I finally found the time to write my next chapter. So here's chapter 21.

I averted my eyes from the golden sign and looked down at my feet, as I was forced to walk into the room of nightmares. As we entered, we were taken to the back of the room where a large cage, that spanned the width of the room, was situated. Once Luke, the Doctor, Tibbs and I were secured inside the huge cage, the guards filed out, leaving us to our thoughts.

"Now what" I mumbled unenthusiasticly.

"We think of a plan and get out. Doctor?" replied Luke, answering my question but mainly addressing everyone.

As the Doctor and Luke discussed escape plans, I walked over to the front of the cage and sank to the floor. Tibbs slinked over and sat next to me, following my gaze and staring around the room too. It was a big room. White desks circled around the walls and chairs were haphazardly scattered under and around the desks. A big glass box was stretched from floor to ceiling and looking at it gave me memories I'd rather forget. Papers were strewn over more tables gathered in the centre of the room and several black sticks had rolled under the tables.

I found myself unable to keep my eyes open as I looked around. Tiredness overwhelmed me and I slid over and fell into a dreamless sleep.

For Clyde and Rani, school and normal teenage activities were not enough to keep them from thinking about Luke and Rose. Sarah Jane, obviously heartbroken, hadn't spoken to them since she had come home to find Luke gone.

Clyde's leg was still injured but he had been released from hospital, and was now able to amble about using crutches. Rani had been fussed over when she was returned home by UNIT but there was nothing more than a few cuts and bruises for Gita and Haresh to worry about.

What the pair wanted more than anything was for Rose and Luke to be returned safely and for the alien stuff to resume. Life was... normal for Clyde and Rani and that wasn't normal considering all they get up to on a usual afternoon.

I opened my eyes and found them to be sore. I stretched on the ground before sitting up and surveying the contents of our cage. Luke was fast asleep in a corner. He look younger and more at peace asleep. I smiled cheekily for the first time in a while. Tibbs was curled up at Luke's feet. The Doctor, however was not asleep. He was pacing quickly, oblivious to my awakening.

I stood up on shaky legs and wobbled over to him. The Doctor was engrossed in his thinking until he spied me, watching him. I opened my mouth to speak but he rushed over, hands waving. He gently put a hand over my mouth and pressed a finger to his lips. The Doctor looked over at the lab. A man with blue skin was walking around, head down peering at different sheets he picked up. The blue man gathered up a few and piled them up, making an attempt to clean up the messy desks.

The man jumped a little as he picked up a page. He eased into a chair and propped his feet up on a second chair, one after the other. I looked back to the Doctor. His eyes shifted too. I nodded and he lifted his hand from my mouth.

Tibbs heard the rustling and lifted his head from his paws. Liking his lips, he rose to his feet and pranced over to us. The doctor discretely pointed over at the man and Tibbs sat down bowing his head in a sign that he understood.

It was all going swimmingly until Luke woke up.

He slowly sat up and yawned noisily, scratching his head and stretching. The three of us shot around and glared at Luke coldly. It wasn't his fault really, but considering our situation, we had expected him to at least be a bit more discrete with his waking.

When he saw our sharp stares he mumbled "What?" sheepishly.

We all pointed at the blue man, Tibbs with his paw, and the Doctor said "Him".

The man was looking intently at us. His expression resembled that of someone had just seen their pet mice stand up and start tap dancing, complete with top hat, cane and tiny tapshoes.

"Oh" said Luke. I put my head in my hands and grinned but that was soon replaced with a grimace when the blue man finally spoke.

I looked up and saw the blue man mumbling to another pink soldier lady. He looked back at the four of us and pointed at me.

"Get. Me. Her"

Rani was sat by her bedroom window, a book open in her lap. She was gazing up at the sky, praying that Luke and Rose would be ok. She tucked a strand of her hair behind on ear and made to read again, until she heard voices outside, from the slightly ajar window. She got up and slid it open further, making a mental note to remind her dad to grease the sliding track for the window. She watched as Sarah Jane and a unknown black clad man, swiftly walked up to the from door of number 13 and disappeared inside.

She panicked and dived out of her seat for her phone. She punched in the numbers and shifted her weight from foot to foot nervously. When at last Clyde answered, Rani was so relieved she forgot what she was going to say.

"Yes?" Clyde said expectantly. When at last Rano had formulated a sentence she blurted out

"Sarah Jane just got home from wherever she went, and there is a strange man with her."

"I'll be right round" replied Clyde and though she knew he couldn't see Rani nodded.
