We left the container, and were back in the dark alley. Maen started toward the direction of the Tardis, but I stopped her: "Wait."
Maen sighed: "You heard the Doctor, we have to get back to the Tardis by all means necessary."
"But if we just walk out on the streets, the police will catch us long before we can make it."
This convinced Maen to not go anywhere: "So what do you suggest?"
I looked around. In the movies, there usually is a fire escape, which would allow us to climb up to the roof, and we could go on from there. Of course, those movies were American, and we weren't in America.
"If I could use the force, I would cloud some of their minds and have them take us to the Tardis." Maen said.
"Wait, that's it!" I told her.
"I just told you, I can't do that." Maen repeated.
"No." I understood that, "But if we can convince them that we're one of their own, it would give us more freedom."
"And how do you propose we do that?" Maen asked.
"If we could somehow stop one car, take out the cops inside, take their uniforms, they'll think we're cops too, and even help us."
"Sounds like a plan." Maen agreed.
"The only question is, how do we stop one car?" I brought up.
Maen needed but one second to think about it: "By giving them exactly what they want.
After Maen explained her plan to me, all we could do was wait in the alley for a car to drive by. Of course I had to explain to her that there is a very specific way of recognizing a police car, and that's by its flickering lights. Unfortunately, she would jump at the sight of a red light, which belonged to an ambulance. It was funny, in away. I had spent so much time with the Doctor, who seemed to know so much about my own planet, even though he's not actually from my planet. I was so used to this, I half expected Maen to be the same. Eventually, a police car drove by, and Maen jumped out of the alley. Even if the cops in the car didn't see her, she made sure they did when she activated her light-saber. This drew their attention. They stopped their car, stepped out and ran toward her. Maen ran back into the alley, but that only made them angry. The took their guns out of their holsters and started firing at her. Maen stopped, but not before she was already in the darker part of the alley. It surprised me at first that they had missed, but then, the police is supposed to fire warning shots first. The cops march into the alley, right past me, as I was hiding behind the container so they couldn't see me. I got up from behind the container, hoping I could knock them out, but before I could do anything, Maen had already attacked the two men with her light-saber. She did something to them, which caused them to cry out in agony. They turned around as they screamed, so I could see what happened. They weren't holding their guns anymore, but that was because where there should be hands, there were now what looked like... empty space? I should be shocked that she would cut their hands off, but when I noticed there was empty space where there should at least be blood blood spurting out, that gave me a different type of shock.
"Don't humans of this planet bleed?" Maen asked me.
"They do." I replied, as calm as I could.
With this, she swung her saber again. This time, after one fell swing, the men's heads seemed to fall off their shoulders. As horrifying as this was supposed to look, much like with the hands, where I was supposed to see blood, bone and muscles, there was nothing at all.
"What are these men?" I wondered.
"The Doctor had a theory about them, didn't he?" Maen reminded me.
"He knew these people are skin over space?" I questioned.
"Looks that way." Maen replied.
Two moons, little people, and now empty people? What kind of world did we end up in?
