That night the Doctor brought the baby into the bed with them. Jack was more worried that he might roll over on her while they slept then the fact that they would be forfeiting sex from now on. He didn't argue having her in bed with them as he didn't want her to free to death during the night and he could help keep her warm with his autron fueled body. It also allowed the Doctor to feed her during the night without disturbing her or Jack too much. In fact, Jack was so tired that he slept through her feedings and felt guilty in the morning that the Doctor had to take care of her on his own without help.

"I'll take her tonight," Jack promised as they pulled themselves out of bed.

"I can handle her. Besides you need your rest if you are going to have the energy to work in the mines all day," the Doctor argued as he stretched. They exchanged looks as a knock on the door sounded before the second bell had rung. It was too early for any clinic visitors unless it was an emergency and they never had any visitors.

"I'll get it," Jack told him moving away from them. The Doctor got out of bed leaving Carys where she lay sleeping. He moved so that he was just in the doorway separating the two rooms and could see the main door as Jack opened it. They were both surprised as well as concerned to see Harris standing in the doorway. He glared at Jack before looking past him to where the Doctor was standing.

"I am here to collect the baby's body for burial," Harris informed the Doctor as he pretended not to notice Jack.

"I regret to inform you that the child is not dead and won't be needing a burial service today," Jack responded before the Doctor could say anything. Harris narrowed his eyes at the Doctor.

"I told the leader I was going to save her and I meant it. Tell him that her burial won't be required today or any other day for that matter. If for some reason, I do fail this child and she passes, then I will be the one to bury her but I can assure you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen," the Doctor spoke up as he glared back at Harris.

"You would do well to remember that those foolish enough to think they can survive on their own never last long," Harris reminded them before leaving without another word. Jack shut the door behind him as he turned to look at the Doctor.

"What do you think he meant by that?" Jack wondered.

"I don't know but I have the feeling that we will find out soon," the Doctor answered. With Harris gone, the morning proceeded like normal. They ate breakfast and dressed before Jack headed out to the mines and the Doctor opened the clinic. There was no sign of Harris as Adele showed up with Garret to take care of Carys for the day. Even if the clinic went smoothly, the Doctor still made sure to keep a watchful eye out for Harris. He didn't return that day though and as shifts ended, the Doctor stayed home while Jack went to the market. He lost the fights that night even if he felt they could use the extra blanket as well as the bottle of alcohol that was being offered. Just like the Doctor, he didn't want to upset the Leader and Harris anymore than they already had. The next morning they both realized their carefulness was for nothing as they once more had a visitor before the work bell rang. Jack once more opened the door, prepared to tell Harris to go away. Instead, there was a young man he had never seen before.

"Yes?" Jack asked him.

"All work has been suspended for the morning. Everyone is to immediately report to the square in front of our great leaders home," The young man at the door informed them before hurrying to the next home to deliver the same message. Jack turned to look at the Doctor.

"This can't be good," Jack told him.

"No," the Doctor agreed. He wrapped Carys in her blanket, then handed her to Jack to carry as together they left their small home heading towards the leader's home at the edge of the village.

They weren't the first ones to arrive as the square was already starting to fill up with men and women. Children stayed close to their parents for a change as no one knew why they were being called to the square. As they found a place to stand, they were met by Adele. After brief introductions, she took Carys from Jack. She placed a blanket over her shoulder, covering herself as she began to feed the infant. Adele's husband stood next to her with their son in front of them. The little boy was holding tightly onto his father's hand.

"This is unusual," Jack commented as more people arrived.

"Unusual yes, but not uncommon. Granted it was before your arrival the last time he called a meeting," Adele's husband responded. Jack nodded as he listened but he continued to observe the people. He didn't realize how many people lived in the village until now. He saw a number of people while working and at night in the market but realized that the village was much larger than he originally thought. The square was full of people by the time everyone had arrived and he only saw a few familiar faces as he looked around. All around the edges of the square, he saw the leader's guards watching them and observing the people. He could also see women with fuller faces and children who looked well-fed compared to the rest of the starving village.

"Doc, do you see those people over there?" Jack asked as he pointed to two women with several plump children. The Doctor turned his eyes to look at them. "Have you seen anyone like them in the village before?"

"No," the Doctor answered.

"Quiet," a man in front of them hissed. They went quiet as the Leader came out of his home. With him, he had two more of his guards and a man in shackles. The man had obviously been beaten, as his face was covered in bruises and his left eye was swollen shut. Blood seeped down his face from cuts hidden amongst the bruises and he could barely walk as he was dragged between the men holding him up. He was thrown to the ground behind the Leader as he took his place in front of the village.

"People of Hades. I swore when I became the leader of this village that I would protect you at all cost. I have kept my end by assigning guards to patrol the village as well as getting us fruit and meat. Fair rations were made available to all those who earned them and in turn, they could help others if necessary. I have made this place better for us all. Yet some of you have seen to have forgotten this is a prison planet and not a leisure palace. I will remind anyone who has forgotten that this is not a democracy. I make the rules and I expect you to abide by them. You are all in this village by my grace and if you don't like it, I will gladly return you to the caves. I except they will welcome you in the same brutal way they welcome everyone else. If you manage to live they do need a new whore." The Leader glanced over at Jack. Jack glared at him, but the Leader paid him no more attention. Instead, he motioned to the man on the ground behind him.

"This man has been knowingly passing information to the men in the caves to allow them to attempt to overthrow our village. They will kill your children and take your women for themselves. They will punish the men for fun as they dine on your rations allowing you to starve while they grow fat. I have sentenced him to death for his treason and that sentence shall be carried out today. The accused shall be hung from the neck until dead and his body will be left there as a reminder of what happens when you turn on this village," The Leader announced. He turned to look at the man on the ground. "Do you have any last words?"

"I have never spoken to the men in the caves. He is lying to you," The man pleaded with the village. He was kicked in his stomach for his efforts and was hissed and booed by the villagers. Calls of string him up sounded from several people and others cheered in agreement.

"He's telling the truth, Jack. We have to stop this," The Doctor whispered. He started to step forward, but Jack put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

"We can't just rush forward or the leader will kill us and Cary next, Doctor. I can't die, you will regenerate, but she doesn't stand a chance," Jack hissed in his ear.

"We have to do something," The Doctor informed Jack as the man was drug to a nearby tree.

"Don't you hear me, we cant. I want to stop this as well, Doc but this is one of those times when you have to do nothing. There are too many guards here and you would be caught, and stopped before you reached him. Listen to the crowd. They want this man dead and would see you strung up beside him for trying to help someone they believe is a traitor," Jack hissed. The Doctor closed his eyes briefly knowing Jack was right. Getting himself killed would accomplish nothing, even if he hated Jack at the moment for stopping him from saving the man. He refused to watch the man die as he stared at the leader with all the hatred of the oncoming storm. Eventually, the Leader raised his hands to quiet the people and they turned to look at him again.

"Let his body hang here and serve as a reminder of what happens to traitors," the Leader cheered and the people agreed adamantly. "Everyone is to return to their homes or report to work like normal. Dismissed."

The people turned to head towards their home and Adele kissed her husband goodbye as she took Garret following the Doctor back to his home with Carys in her arms as Jack headed towards the mines. The Doctor couldn't look at her as he had her cheering as loudly as the others at the innocent man's death. He wanted to tell her how disgusted he was but he couldn't lose Carys's wet nurse. To do so would mean her death so he bit his tongue as he walked with her to tend to the people who had also betrayed the man even if all he wanted to do at the moment was watch the village burn.
