Sorry bout upping the rating but it had to be done for this chapter as you will see when you read it. Enjoy!

I still hear you crying

Then I see you smiling

Even when I close my eyes

Sending a rescue

Coming to find you

Do you think that we could save another day?

Alex Lloyd – Sometimes

Her screams as she was dragged away still haunted him. She was pure blooded human, so rare in this corner of the universe, so far into her future. A rare and precious item. Twenty hours ago now she had been smiling, making her way among the market stalls. Now, he could sense he was close, close to getting her back, to having her in his arms. The small chubby creature looked him over once more before placing a book on the counter. "Reckon you'll like these, humanoid, like yourself. Easier compatibility, no fussing about what fits where. Choose the one you want and then we can discuss payment." He flicked through, ignoring the other faces, only focused on the one he was after. Once he had found her he could think about the bigger picture.

Spinning the book around he stabbed his finger at the picture, "This one."

"Excellent choice Sir, that one has a lot of spirit. Needs someone like you to break her in." He resisted the urge to strangle the little man, instead focusing on what he had to do. "Oh yes, her first job, so it will cost you. She's started basic training, but you'll decide what she specialises in, you can give her a taste for whatever you like and then we can give you discounts for her services once training is completed. Twenty thousand credits for an hour of that kind of service Sir." At the creature's smug look the Doctor smiled.

"Can't argue with that, how would you like me to pay?"

He could see the greed in the man's eyes as he spoke, "You know what, for eighty thousand I'll let you have her all night as you seem like my kind of guy. Credit chip will do." The Doctor handed over the credit chip and watched as the man took the eighty thousand credits out of the account he had jiggery-poked into existence; promising himself to find this one first when he brought Jack back with him later. Remembering Jack he sent the Captain a message to meet back at the TARDIS before returning his attention to the creature who was leading him towards the back of the building. The room he was led to was large, with most of the space taken up by a round bed while against one wall stood a set of shelves holding things the Doctor didn't want to name or think about. Looking up at the ceiling he noticed a large mirror above the bed and couldn't help but roll his eyes. The man noticed where he was looking and smiled, "So you get the most out of your experience, also where we keep the camera's. Standard monitoring as per your contract for her use. We make sure you aren't causing the goods permanent damage and you get something to take home for future enjoyment." Looking the man in the eye he was greeted with a wide smile. "But I like you so I may overlook a lot of things for you tonight, monitor you myself I think. Plus this one I was hoping to break in myself."

"You're very talkative you know."

"Sorry Sir, usually I'm not. I'll have her prepared and brought to you in fifteen minutes."

"Just bring her to me."

The man bowed, his head at the Doctor's knees, "Straight away Sir."

He felt each second pass as he waited, body tense and ready for the fight he knew was coming, but first he would get Rose out. He turned at the sound of the door opening to see Rose pushed through. Her hands bound behind her and all she wore was a thick black blindfold that covered half her face. He watched her fight against the bonds, muscles in her back and neck tense. He stepped up behind her and took her arms in his hands, she pulled away suddenly as if she'd been burnt. "Don't touch me!"

"Rose, it's okay." He soothed gently, as he tried to take her arms again to have her once again pull away.

"I said don't touch me! I'm not falling for that again you pig!" She spat at him before backing herself into a corner, curling in on herself. He watched as she pulled her arms in front of her how he had taught her and would have smiled but for her sudden cry as she pulled off the blindfold. "It's a trick, you're not him!" She pushed herself further into the corner and away from him.

Crouching down before her he gently reached for her cheek, "It's me Rose, I'm here to get you out."

She shook her head in disbelief as the tears started down her cheeks. "Make it stop, do what you want but not like him. Please not like him." The fear and pain in her voice tore at his hearts but he couldn't let her see, had to be strong for her. Pulling off his jacket he placed it over her shoulders before once again taking her hands.

"It's me Rose, I'm going to take you back to the TARDIS, I promise I won't let anyone touch you." Her hands were shaking as he pulled out the key that had been given to him and undid the cuffs.

Rose pulled herself tighter against the wall, looking up at the ceiling. "Not my place to ask, not my place to demand, just a face to hide behind, make Rose behave." She lowered her eyes, looking over his shoulder as she moved forward slowly. "Never going to find me, have to survive, get back, mum worries." He stood watching her slowly rise to her knees, her eyes not focusing on anything. "Service the man, do what must be done, Rose isn't home, so service him quick before she returns." She brushed the jacket back off her shoulders and stood before him, eyes now focused on his navel. Her rambling made his anger flare, his Rose was strong and they had broken her. Her fingers were making quick work of his belt buckle before he realised what was happening. He caught her hand as it slipped into his trousers but couldn't help the soft moan that escaped his throat. "Service him well and you can eat, do what he wants and you get a treat." Her free hand was now traveling the same path but he grabbed it before she could get as far.

"Rose, you don't want to do this." He placed her hands together and held them with one hand before bending to pick up his discarded jacket. As he straighted back up he saw the realisation dawn in her eyes, dropping her hands he wrapped the jacket around her once more.

"Doctor?"

"Yeah, come on, I'll even take you to visit your mum."

"Help me, please."

"I'm here, no need to worry. Put the jacket on, we need to be quick." He helped her ease her arms into the jacket sleeves and then buttoned it down the front for her. Smiling softly at her he took her hand before pulling the door open, "Run for your life!" At her smile he let out a laugh and led them towards the TARDIS. She wasn't completely broken, he would get his Rose back, he just had to draw her out.
