Time and Timelord

Chapter 2

Okay, I have received some really good reviews. Thanks so much. Trying to fix my errors, by the way. This one's pretty short. Here we go again...

"Please sit," Weir instructed The Doctor.

"Of course."

Weir sat as well. "Well, um, Doctor," she began uncertainly, "I am...well...surprised by your appearance. Who are you? And not—" she stopped him from repeating his name again, "—just your name. Who are you? Are you human? What? This is a military installation, Doctor. I can't have ordinary people walking about."

He smiled. "Of course. I, too, worked on a Military installation as well." He pulled from his hat a U.N.I.T. ID badge. He handed it to Weir.

She studied it. "U.N.I.T.? I have friends over in the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce."

The Doctor leaned in slightly. "Really?"

"Yes. And unfortunately—"

The desk speaker came on again. "Dr. Weir?" Davis said.

"Yes?"

"You have a call on private line 3."

Weir looked at The Doctor. "Hold on." She picked up the phone and transferred herself to line 3.

"Dr. Weir here."

"Yes," was the reply, "I know."

"Who is this?"

"This is Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, former Brigadier General of the United nations Intelligence Taskforce."

"Oh, hello Alastair. How is Doris?"

"Oh, she's fine. However, I must get to business. I have been informed that approximately fifteen minutes ago a large blue telephone box appeared on your Stargate walkway in the embarkation room and that the occupant was a man claiming to be The Doctor."

"Yes, that is true."

"This man is exactly who he claims to be, Dr. Weir. I ask you to allow him access to any information you can give him."

Weir was taken aback. "What?"

"Listen to me, Elizabeth," Stewart continued, "If The Doctor has arrived in your installation, then he is there for a reason. Trust me. I must go now." Click.

Weir hung up and looked up to se a very smug-looking Doctor. She stood. "Please follow me, Doctor," she said, handing him the U.N.I.T. badge back, "I will show you to the guest quarters."

They left the room. Weir did not notice the extra cabinet that appeared in her room as she left, nor did she notice the man in black as he stepped out from it.

"Doctor, Doctor..." The Master said, shaking his head, "What have you gotten yourself into this time?"
