Chapter 9
Rose, Jackie, Mickey and the Doctor sat in Jackie's living room. Rose and the Doctor mugs of tea, Mickey and Jackie with something slightly stronger. All looked agitated especially Mickey.
"Now what do we do?"
"We wait."
Mickey gave a sound that could have been classed as a sobering laugh.
"So, you're saying that we sit and wait for a galactic evil git to turn up at Jackie's front door and murder us or worse."
Jackie gave a gasp
"whats worst than murdering us?"
The Doctor looked at Jackie. He could only sympathise with the situation that she found herself in
"Jackie you'll be surprised. But Mickey is right I cant put you in any danger."
He stood up and buttoned his jacket together.
"Right you three, you're all going to the TARDIS"
Three shouts of indignation came straight at him.
The Doctor held up his palm and waited for silence
" It's the only place where I know that you will be safe."
"Won't this Masochist know where it is?"
"I scrambled the code 9 alert so He will not know where the signal came from. Unless of course he uses his TARDIS but the Prime Minister is a busy man. He might not be able to get away to do that."
He started for the door
"Oh and Jackie?"
"Yes?"
The Doctor had a grin on his face as he turned to her
"It's the Master, not the Masochist!"
"He's a politician ain't he?"
The group of four laughed at the words and they all thought the same thing as they made their way to the blue box
How true those words were.
Once the Doctor had shown Jackie and Mickey where the TARDIS' drink cabinet was ( He may be a time lord but it always helps to have a well stocked fridge) he made his way back to the console room where he was going to face something more angry than the Master had ever been.
Rose!
