Chapter 7
Kenny entered the cell and Victoria recoiled away from him in fright, Kenny wasn't surprised as she'd just seen him walk through what she thought was a solid wall. He bent down in front of Carol and removed the breathing mask before turning to Victoria; she still looked frightened at the sight of him.
"Hi, I'm Kenny," he said to her, "I've come to help you, I came here with the Doctor."
Kenny was pleased to see that that piece of information had had the desired effect; Victoria now seemed a lot calmer at Kenny being there despite seeing him walk through a wall.
John was spotted by one of the station's crew but managed to hit him with his stun gun before the man could react. As his victim collapsed John spotted the machine gun he was carrying, an idea came to him and he picked it up, then he continued down the corridor.
Jamie got unsteadily to his feet and looked round the Lab.
"Hey where'd she go?" he asked to nobody in particular.
"Carol's double jaunted off somewhere," TIM replied, "Possibly to the space station."
"Should we warn the others?" Jamie asked.
"I already have," TIM replied.
Kenny and John both heard TIM's piece of news, even the real Carol heard it as she was starting to wake up.
"The real Carol's with me John," Kenny said telepathically.
"Good," John replied, "TIM I think you should bring Carol back to the Lab."
"I agree John," TIM replied, "Carol..."
"I heard," Carol said, here telepathic message only just audible, "Jaunt me in."
Kenny and Victoria both watched Carol disappear in a flash of lights.
"Come on," Kenny said to Victoria, and then he took her hand and led her through the wall.
The Doctor was hearing none of this; he was standing outside a cell door and through a panel in it could see Victoria on the other side. He was rummaging in his pockets for something that could pick the key lock in the door. Eventually he pulled out a small metal rod and inserted that into the lock. A few seconds later the lock clicked and the Doctor put it back in his pocket, he wasn't quite sure what it was but if it did the job he was satisfied. Victoria looked up as the Doctor entered the cell, the Doctor was glad to see her again, and Victoria was glad to see the Doctor.
Jamie watched Carol materialise in the Lab, she then staggered off the Jaunting pad and into one of the seats.
"Are you alright?" Jamie asked.
"I'm fine Jamie," Carol replied, but Jamie wasn't sure if he agreed with this.
"Carol what's that box you brought?" TIM asked.
Carol looked up to see the breathing mask and the sleeping gas generator lying on the Jaunting pad, she hadn't realised she'd brought it with her.
"Jamie could you place that on the table beneath me," TIM said, and Jamie did as he was asked.
The table started to pulsate with light while TIM analysed the box.
"Well what is it?" Carol asked.
"It generates a sleeping gas," TIM replied, "They probably used it to keep you unconscious so that you wouldn't jaunt away. It may take some time to wear off though."
"Well at least I know why I don't fell very stable," Carol said.
"Yes I suppose so," TIM said, "I think you'd better change out of that AE suit though."
"Ok," Carol said and she staggered over to the stairs in the corner, Jamie quickly went to help her.
Kenny and Victoria made it to the TARDIS and Kenny opened the doors with psychokinesis and they both went inside. Kenny activated the scanner and shut the doors. Victoria sat down in a chair in one corner of the console room. Kenny kept an eye on the scanner for a while, then he stopped the Doctor and Victoria approaching the TARDIS.
The Doctor was reaching into his pocket for the key when a stun dart hit him in the back of the neck. Victoria put her dart gun back on her belt and then extracted the key from the Doctor's pocket and opened the door. When she saw Victoria and Kenny inside she pulled out her gun again and fired a dart at Victoria at the same Kenny fired his stun gun. Both Victorias collapsed as the shots hit their targets. Kenny looked up to see security officers heading for the TARDIS, he sent the duplicate Victoria out of the TARDIS using telekinesis and then closed the doors, he'd would have brought the Doctor inside but he didn't have time. He turned towards Victoria and removed the dart which had lodged itself in her right arm. He sat her back on the chair, and then checked the scanner to see if the coast was clear outside. He saw the security officers dragging off the Doctor and the duplicate Victoria. Before he followed them he thought he'd better let John and TIM know what was happening.
"The Doctor has been captured," TIM announced.
"What!" Carol and Jamie both said in surprise.
"I've just received a message from Kenny saying that the Doctor has been captured by the people aboard the space station," TIM explained.
"Did they manage to find Victoria?" Jamie asked.
"Yes," TIM replied, "Both of them."
Carol and Jamie remained in stunned silent for a few seconds while they waited for TIM to continue.
"I've let John know and Kenny is going to try and follow the Doctor and try to rescue him," TIM said.
"Well I hope he succeeds," Jamie said.
John hid round the corner of a corridor; he briefly glanced round it to see if the coast was clear. He drew his head back and was about to make his way along it when he heard a sound he recognised, the sound of a jaunt. He moved round the corner to see Carol pointing a stun gun at him.
"TIM, I've just come up against the other Carol," John said telepathically.
"Is she armed?" TIM asked.
"With a stun gun," John replied.
"What are you going to do John," the real Carol asked.
"Let's just say I don't think TIM would approve," John replied.
"I know what your saying John," the Carol in front of him said, "I'm a Tomorrow Person as well remember."
"I know," John said raising the confiscated machine gun to point at Carol.
"You're not going to use that," Carol said almost laughing, "Tomorrow People can't kill."
"I know that," John said and opened fire.
