My eyes fluttered open. I groaned slightly as I lifted my pounding head off the pillow.

Something moved over my feet and I lurched up. However it was only Tibbs, making himself more comfortable on the bed.

Over by the door, the Doctor was trying various settings on his silver and blue device. It was a rather noisy affair to say the least.

Luke was fiddling with the corner of a quilt as he sat at the edge of a bed next to mine.

"Morning" I yawned "or whatever time it is. The universe really messes with your sence of time."

Luke smiled vaguely, still staring vacantly at the floor.

I slid off the bed and planted myself next to Luke. He jumped slightly as I tapped his shoulder.

"You okay?" I said softly.

"Yeah." he shrugged "I'm just thinking"

"About...?" I prompted.

"Mum, home, Clyde and Rani. Everything I miss about home."

I leant my head on his shoulder.

"We'll be ok" I smiled weakly and Luke nodded.

"Dammit" cried the Doctor. "No no NO!"

"What's wrong?" Luke piped up.

"The door won't cooperate" he ran a hand through his spikey hair "I'm going to have to take a different approach."

"Which is?" Luke questioned.

The Doctor walked over and kneeled down. "C'mon Luke. I think you can work it out."

"Erm..." he rested his head in his hands and stared at the Doctor, his face screwed up with concentration.

"If you sonic the lock mechanism, it may cause the polarity to reverse giving control to our side of the door. And then if you find the right cable inside the locking mechanism you might be able to unlock it and then Sonic the door to make it open automatically. " Luke looked expectantly at the Doctor, who seemed to also be deep in thought.

"Close. Well, almost there. Well, nearly. Well, sort of, not really, no." the Doctor grinned " but that would, in theory, work if we had the time. But we don't. I was thinking of something a little more fool-proof. "

"Go on" I said, indicating him to continue.

"Well. If we do this..." he pointed his screwdriver at my watch that hung around my neck and pressed a button on the end of his "sonic". It buzzed softly and my locked glowed golden.

"Aaaah." I cried "What did you do?"

"That thing was designed to protect you. I just turned it into a beacon. And hopefully" he twisted his hand slightly " it will reach earth and your mother, Luke."

Clyde gasped loudly. Rani was with Sarah Jane. But how had she gotten in? Clyde wondered.

Suddenly Sarah Jane shot a look out the window and saw Clyde perched there.

"crap" Clyde whispered under his breath.

"Clyde" Sarah Jane shrieked "what are you doing?"

"Trying to find out what happened to Luke and Rose." he snapped back.

"Well you should'nt be in a tree with a broken leg. Come over here." she smiled and beckoned him over to the window.

Rani grabbed his outstretched arm and pulled him into the attic. With a yelp he tumbled over the window sill and fell in a heap at Rani's feet.

"well since, you're both here I may as well tell you everything we know." said Sarah Jane.

"We?" asked Clyde.

"Clyde, Rani meet Clark Newman."

"Hi" said Clyde and Rani in unison.

Clark nodded in acknowledgement.

"Anyway," continued Sarah Jane "all we know is that Rose and Luke have been sold to research lab that would now currently be in the Feg Constellation, right?" again Clark nodded.

"May I?" Clark suddenly asked.

"Of cource" replied Sarah Jane.

"We have the tech and the transport to find Rose and Luke, however we have no way of finding their exact location. The places where they might be would take years to search. Years we don't have."

"Sarah Jane." Mr Smith piped up "I think I may have a solution"

Sorry for the short chapter but I found this to be a good spot to end the chapter on. Gosh, it's been ages since I continued this story but I finally got around to it. I promise the next one will be up soon...ish. Keep on reviewing :)
