Four of the soldiers pushed past Mickey and entered the house, Mickey gulped feeling extremely vulnerable and wondered how he could have been so stupid as to leave himself unprotected.

The soldiers came out the house shoving Jackie, Rose, Peter and Gladys outside.

"Did you find the girl?" asked the first soldier close to Mickey,

The others shook their heads, "No sign of a blond female matching the girl's description"

The first soldier shoved the gun into Mickey's chest, "Where is she?!"

Mickey shrugged carefully avoiding looking at Rose, "Don't know who you mean?"

"You are Mickey Smith, are you not?"

Mickey suddenly heard Rose in his mind, You should have put on that wig, he couldn't help but stare at her in surprise.

One of the other soldiers pushed a gun against Rose's neck, "Answer his question" he growled.

"Would you believe me if I said my name was Mickey Mouse?"

The first soldier growled, "Where is Rose Tyler and the child?"

Mickey pouted, "She left me for a doctor, haven't seen her since"

"You lie, Saxon knows she is here and he is never wrong"

Mickey shrugged, "Well he's wrong this time"

The soldier slapped him hard, "He is never wrong," he turned to the other soldiers, "did you search the house?"

"We only found these four people and two babies"

The first soldier nodded, "The Toclafane will come and do a more thorough search later," he turned to Mickey, "You will come with me, Saxon will want to question you himself"

Rose screamed and tried to run towards him, but one of the soldiers held her back, "What do we do with the others?"

The first soldier shrugged, "Send them down to Silo one, they need the extra labour"

"How dare you" screamed Jackie at the top of her lungs, "You can't treat people like this"

The first soldier shrugged, "But we can, and we must" The first soldier led Mickey off into a small jeep whilst the other soldiers gestured for the them to follow,

"But Alex and Andrea!" cried Rose,

"One of the soldiers pointed a gun at Jackie and gestured for Rose to go into the house, "Go get your children, but don't take too long, I may 'accidently' pull the trigger"

Jackie gulped as Rose ran into the house. Alex and Andrea were crying, Rose could feel Alex's distress, "It's okay Alex, its okay Andrea I'm here" Rose muttered as she pulled them both into her arms, "As long as I breath no harm will come to you"

She rushed down the stairs with them, and back outside. The soldier holding the gun at Jackie nodded in satisfaction, "It's time to go" he led them to a van and made them all climb into the back. As the door slammed shut Rose placed Andrea in her mother's arms and Peter took hold of Gladys' hand, "Are you all okay?" he asked looking everyone over,

Rose shrugged, "We're fine, considering," she gulped, "what will happen to Mickey?"

Peter sighed, "He'll probably be taken on board the Valiant, that's where Saxon stays; up above the clouds," he chuckled mockingly, "playing God" Peter spat on the floor, "one day… just you wait, one day he'll fall down to Earth with a bang"

Rose sighed and rocked Alex against her shoulder trying to calm him down, "He's a sick man, a very sick man"


The Master stood by the window in the Valiant and looked down at the Earth, with a smug look of satisfaction on his face, "Doctor, look at your precious planet now" he chuckled and stepped over to stand over the Doctor's shrivelled form, "almost as pitiful as you"

He turned to one of his men, "Have we any news of the girl yet?"

The Doctor looked up,

"They didn't find her sir, but they did find her male friend; he is being brought up here now"

The Master frowned, "They looked everywhere?"

The man nodded, "the Toclafane did a thorough sweep of the area but found nothing"

The Master shrugged, "Get them to look again"

The Doctor chuckled, "Having some trouble are we?"

The Master raised an eyebrow, "She can't hide from me forever, I will find her and then we'll see who's laughing" he stomped away to look out of the window again.

"Ah look Doctor!" cackled the Master triumphantly, "We have a guest"

The Doctor looked up and stared in surprise as Mickey was led handcuffed into the main room of the Valiant.

The Master chuckled, "You know each other I believe,"

Mickey stared at the frail old man on the floor and shrugged, "No, never met him before in my life"

The Master shook his head then turned to the Doctor, "He doesn't recognise you Doctor"

"Doctor!" Mickey stared at the old man in surprise, "The Doctor?"

"What do you think of my improvements?" sneered the Master, "I thought I'd give him a bit of reverse cosmetic surgery"

"Is that you Doctor?"

The Doctor sighed, "Yes, I never thought I'd see you again Mickey"

"Likewise" he grumbled, "I ought to hit you for what you did to her"

"I wouldn't blame you"

The Master laughed, "aahh I do like a good reunion, but we have plenty of time for that"

He turned to Mickey, his eyes cold, "Where is she?"

Mickey shrugged, "I told your men, I don't know"

The Master shook his head, "You're lying; I know you are" he took a step towards Mickey and Mickey stepped back and suddenly he felt a guard grab him from behind and hold him still. The Doctor watched in horror as the Master placed his hands on Mickey's temple, "Mickey, don't let him read your mind; keep your mind blank"

The Master pointed his screwdriver at the Doctor and he fell to the floor in agony. The Master turned back to Mickey and replaced his hands on Mickey's temples and went into Mickey's mind. Mickey closed his eyes tight and tried to empty his head whilst the Master chuckled, "you think that will stop me" he pushed forward and rammed into Mickey's head opening Mickey's memories to him. The Master smiled, "You should see some of this stuff Doctor, before you came along Mickey and Rose had quite a steamy relationship"

The Doctor glared at him from the floor,

"Rose is quite talented in the bedroom, I myself wouldn't mind a go"

The Doctor breathed deeply, his eyes dark with anger, "I'm warning you…"

The Master shook his head, "All empty threats Doctor, there's nothing you can do"

The Doctor growled as one of the guards held him down to the floor.

"Aha, there she is," the Master grinned in delight, "It appears you Doctor are not the only one who's had a make over recently"

The Master withdrew from Mickey's head and as he removed his fingers from Mickey's forehead Mickey fell to the floor holding his head in pain.

The Master gestured to one of the guards, "Take this dog," he pointed to Mickey, "and put him in one of the cells until I decide what to do with him," he turned to the Doctor, "aww" he pouted, "Are you getting angry Doctor, now you can see what type of man I've become?"

The Doctor shook his head, "I don't hate you, cause this isn't you; if you'd just let me.."

The Master put a hand up, "I don't want to hear your sanctimonious garbage I have far too many things to do," he walked over to a phone and picked it up, "The girl your looking for, she's dyed her hair red and is wearing colored contact lenses to make her eyes hazel she's with her mother who has brown hair and brown eyes they were recently captured in Blackwood; Bring them and children, I want them all alive"

He hung up the phone and chuckled, "It won't be long Doctor until you see your precious Rose again" he glanced at the Doctors withered body, "I can hardly see her rushing to kiss you when she see's what you've become"
