Doctor Who
A Siren's Song
Chapter One
A mixture of gray and white clouds plagued the sky. Followed by strong winds that blew branches off of trees and anything else that wasn't bolted down. Soon a rumble of thunder rolled through the sky joined with his partner lighting who wasn't that far behind. There was no doubt that a storm was coming, the question now was when would it strike.
Jo Grant stood by the window in the laboratory at UNIT. She tilted her head as she watched the clouds move thru the sky at a quicken pace.
"Josephine..."
A voice whispered as a light breeze out of no where brushed across the young blonds cheek.
Jo's eyes remained fixed on the storm ridden sky until a light hand touched her shoulder. She jumped and turned around to find her self looking into the concern blue eyes of Unit's Scientific Adviser.
"Are you alright Jo?" The Doctor asked.
"Oh um... I'm fine thanks I just zoned out is all." Jo said.
The Doctor nodded, he would have normally added this to the many quirks of his assistant but something felt off. Scratching his chin he glanced out the window at the storm torn sky with a sigh. Something was indeed off here he just couldn't put his finger on it yet.
Jo joined the Doctor back at his workstation. From what she could gathered he was tuning some kind of metal device.
The silence between him and his assistant was pleasant, but the Doctor secretly wished Jo would ask him about his latest creation. Yet he did wish that something else would fill the dead air.
Soon the door slammed open, the both of them looked up to see none other than the Brigadier standing there with Sgt. Benton by his side. Well the Doctor was about to get his wish just not in the way he wanted.
"Morning Ms. Grant, Morning Doctor." The Brigadier said.
"Good morning Brigadier and Sgt. Benton any news for us today?" Jo asked.
The Doctor merely nodded to the Brig and Benton as he continued to work on his small device. A sigh escaped his lips when a file was dropped right in front of him. Flipping thru the file his eyes narrowed when the word "Siren" caught his attention.
"Surely this is a joke." The Doctor said.
"I am afraid not, there has been an increase in male disappearances lately and this small town seems to be in the center of it." The Brigadier informed him.
"But a Siren really?" The Doctor asked seeking conformation.
"Apparently the rumor going around is that this Siren creature is the cause of it " The Brigadier explained.
The Doctor set down his screwdriver and tilted his head. While he considers all mythology explained away by science he found this one had peaked his curiosity.
"Siren's are from Greek and Roman mythology they would lure sailors to their demise with their song." Jo piped in.
The Doctor merely shook his head upon hearing such rubbish, but he couldn't deny that could be a possibility. Now all that was left to figure out was why this siren needed the men and what purpose did they have in all of this?
Closing the file the Timelord rose to his feet, he looked over to Jo then back at the Brigadier.
"Well there is only one way to solve this mystery…its time for a visit." The Doctor said.
The Brigadier nodded he turned to Sgt. Benton who stood at attention.
"Get my Jeep ready we'll be heading out shortly." The Brigadier ordered.
"Yes sir." Sgt. Benton said followed with a salute.
Jo Grant looked to the Doctor with a smile; they were off on another adventure again and she could be happier. But her smile faded when a whispered interrupted her thoughts.
"I look forward to meet you soon Josephine."
