CHAPTER TWO
BACK HOME
"I'm going to go and check on my mum," said Rose "If something has happened here, I must find out, is she's ok"
"Yeah of course" said the Doctor "But I'm coming with you"
He held out his hand, Rose took it and they walked up to her mum's flat, on they're way up to the top floor, where her mum lived. They noticed that some of the doors had been crashed into. Rose shivered "Mum" she whispered. The Doctor looked down at her and his grip tightened on her hand. Jackie's door however was not smashed in. Thought it did look as though it had tried too. Rose knocked on the door with her free hand. It took a long while for Jackie to answer. But Rose could see a terrified blue eye in the peephole. "Mum it's me," said Rose in a desperate voice "Let me in"
The door flung open, Rose could barely see her mum because she had flung her arms around her and hugged her tight.
"Mum it's ok, what's wrong" said Rose as she hugged her mum back, the Doctor made his way past them and then beckoned Rose to bring Jackie back in.
"Come on mum, it's ok" said Rose and she walked Jackie in and sat her down on the sofa. The Doctor shut the door and locked it; he looked at Rose who was sitting down with her mum on the sofa. He could see that they needed some time together "I'll make some tea" he said. Rose looked up at him and nodded gratefully. The Doctor walked into the kitchen. Rose turned to her mum "Mum what happened"
"I don't know" sobbed Jackie "Out of nowhere, this guys they dressed like ninjas, black suits, white masks, started coming up our town, taking people, they took Bernie and Jill from downstairs, my best mate Ruth"
"What else" said Rose in a forced calm voice?
"They also took Shareen," said Jackie and she could see the horror in Rose's eyes that reflected her own. Shareen was Rose's best mate, apart from the Doctor but theirs was a different relationship. Shareen had been mate who she always went to the shops, chatting about boys and a real good friend to her.
"Shareen" whispered Rose
"Yeah" cried Jackie "I don't know they are doing to these people, but I bet it's not good, oh Rose I'm so sorry"
"I'm sorry too" she cried and they hugged, the Doctor walked in, with 3 mugs of steaming hot chocolate.
"Sorry you've ran out of tea" said the Doctor, he took one glance at their startled faces and said "Tell me"
"Kidnappers" said Rose
"Over 2000 people so far" said Jackie
"What about Mickey" said Rose "Is he safe"
"Yeah he's on holiday" said Jackie
"What are we going to do" said Rose
"Whatever we can" said the Doctor "This must be what the TARDIS was referring too, when it changed direction"
Rose nodded "Mum where have they took these people"
"I don't know" said Jackie
"Wherever it is, we'll find it" said the Doctor
