Rose and The Doctor made their way down the sidewalk. They now had entered a neighborhood where the houses were all side by side.
"This is how it ends, all the wars and fighting?"
"Oh trust me Rose, this isn't the end. Humanity still has a long way to go. But it's the start of something." The Doctor informed his companion.
"What's that in your hand?" Rose asked.
"It's an alien life form detector. When are friends arrive I want to know." The Doctor confirmed.
"I bet you do." Rose smiled.
"Do you notice anything strange about this neighborhood?" The Doctor asked Rose.
"No, why?"
"There are cameras on all the houses, every building and every street. Someone wants to know everything that happens here."
"I don't care what you say Doctor this place is almost paradise."
"I like to think of it as Utopia." A voice from behind them said.
"Who are you then?" The Doctor was curious.
"Elizabeth Winters, I'm in charge here. May I ask the same question?"
"I'm the Doctor this is Rose, we're just passing through."
"I'm afraid no one just passes through Utopia. You don't belong here Doctor."
"I don't belong anywhere really so tend to agree." The Doctor hoped to ease the tension.
"What are you going to do with us?" Rose asked.
"What I do with all trespassers." Winters nodded to the man beside her. He approached Rose then reached into his pocket.
"Doctor." Rose was beginning to get a little scared.
"Now hold on." The Doctor said about to stop the man.
Winters assistant pulled out two rectangular shaped cards and handed one to Rose.
"These are your Ident cards which are to remain in your possession at all times. They are made of a titanium alloy which means they can not be copied or destroyed. Here is a list of all the jobs available here and the benefits they offer. We also have a house available for you and your wife, sir."
"Oh he's not my…." Rose tried to correct the man.
"Thank you I'm sure "me and the misses" will be very happy here." The Doctor interrupted Rose.
"Here we are now, your new home." Elizabeth Winters said as her watch began to beep. She pressed a button and a screen popped up.
"What is it?"
"It's Burke Ma'am. He's been murdered. We discovered the body in an alley about ten minutes from your position."
"I'm on my way." Winters turned back to her two guests.
"If you'll excuse me." Winters said as she began to walk away with her assistant in tow.
"The misses?" Rose glared at the Doctor.
"I had to make them think that. Stay here." The Doctor commanded as he began to walk off in Winters direction. Rose was already at the door of their new house.
"Where are you off too? Aren't you going to carry me over the threshold?" Rose laughed.
"I'm going to investigate the murder scene. Something is going on in this town and I'm going to find out what." The Doctor replied.
"Well while you're doing that I'm going to investigate our new house." Rose said as she entered the house.
The Doctor caught up with Ms. Winters and began walking beside her. It was then that he noticed a curved dish in the sky.
"What can I do for you Doctor?"
"What is that dish up in the sky?
"It's our Communications center. There you can contact anywhere on the globe and into space.
"Now Doctor I'm sure you didn't just want to ask me about that."
"Policemen Burke was killed; I may be able to help you find out why."
"Honestly Doctor I don't see how you can help."
"Let's just say I'm use to these situations."
Rose was just getting settled down in the living room when she heard a knock on the door. She went to open it and saw an old woman standing there.
"Hello I'm Katherine Winters. I live across the street, I saw my daughter getting you settled here. I just wanted to say: Welcome to the neighborhood." The grey haired woman said showing Rose the pitcher of tea in her hands.
"Oh thank you. I'm Rose; would you like to come in?" Rose offered.
Ms. Winters made her way passed Rose and into the kitchen. Rose waited in the living room while Katherine poured two glasses of tea.
"You know my grandsons were about your age before the war." Winters handed Rose a glass and then began tearing up.
"They both were killed in the line of duty."
"I'm sorry." Rose said as she set her glass down on the table.
She put her hand on her back trying to comfort her.
"I've always hated war, what it does; soon I hope we will be able to avoid it all together."
"You will, Earth will, I mean."
"Thank you for humoring me, my dear. I'm sorry for going on like this."
"No it's fine. I understand." Rose sat back down accidentally knocking her tea over.
"Oh I'm so sorry." Rose said trying to clean up the mess.
"It's ok dear; I'll get you another glass." Katherine said as she entered the kitchen.
Rose waited in the living room when she suddenly heard glass shatter. Rose ran to the kitchen but Katherine was nowhere to be found.
"Katherine?" Rose yelled.
Rose got no response from Katherine instead a masked person appeared in the hallway. The masked assailant held a knife that Rose knew was meant for her.
The Doctor and Ms. Winters arrived at the murder scene which was surrounded by her staff. They were trying to keep the scene clear while waiting for Elizabeth.
"What happened?" Winters yelled.
"Looks like an animal attack. He was ripped apart." A member of her staff responded.
"That's impossible we don't have any animals here." Winters was baffled.
"I don't think this was done by an animal." The Doctor looked down at the body.
Looking at Ms. Winters the Doctor realized what had happened.
"A space ship crashed in this town didn't it?"
"How do you know about that?"
"It doesn't matter now, were their any survivors?" The Doctor asked.
"No they were all dead when we found them." Winters Explained.
The Doctor looked down at the life form detector it was now blinking erratically.
"Are you sure about that?" The Doctor asked as a violent alien scream echoed through his ears.
