The further away from the TARDIS and its precious cargo he got, the more anxious he became. As soon as he'd found those creatures he was heading straight back there. then he was going to take up a new hobby, Watching Rose, Keeping Rose safe, Never letting Rose out of his sight, 24 hour Rose guard he was even considering sitting outside the loo when nature cam calling. He knew how stupid he sounded, but he had come so close to losing her and he was not letting that happen again, if he even thought about thinking about it the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
Rose said that these things were purple, with pulsing orange eyes and looked just like humans. Sure they were after all on an alien trading outpost planet but exactly how many PURPLE aliens could there be. He was back at the market in no time and right there in front of him, lounging at a tiny stool filled with potions and tonics were the purple orange eyed scumbags that had dared to touch his friend. He could feel his blood boiling his fists clenching and unclenching, he strode over to them, in that cocky manner of his,
"So which one of you low lifes blew a FUCKIN' GREAT HOLE in my travelling companions stomach? Hmmm, no takers, well either you tell me and i get this over with quickly, or I swear to Gallifrey I will make you suffer, I will give you a blood transfusion so I can beat the hell out of you till you cant feel your extremities anymore"
They had the cheek, the bald faced cheek to laugh at him, couldn't they see he was about ready to explode.
"Yea, I know who you mean, she screamed nicely and she was a squishy when she hit the..."
He didn't get chance to finish his sentence, the Doctor had pulled out the cannon/gun he'd taken from Van Stattons base from under his jacket, and with in 30 seconds there wasn't enough left of the three aliens to fit in an ashtray. No muss No fuss.
Before the dust even settled he was gone, headed off towards the TARDIS and his travelling companion. He had to get back.
She needed him.
