Chapter 3 - Judoon
Laura stood looking over a display case of ancient starship parts. Her dark brown curls where hanging down accenting her golden sun dress.
She was standing in the largest museum in the universe, so big, it didn't even need a name. Just The Museum. It took up the entire planet of Ember 7. There where buildings of random and uncataloged artifacts. There was a building for every known civilization, each full of pictures and artifacts. They ended up at museums quiet often, at the Doctor's request; it was how he kept score.
She was almost done exploring building U123, the largest building of unidentified exhibits, and was making her way to the teleports when she heard the security alarm sound. Within seconds the sound filled every corner, of every building in The Museum and her head.
As much as she loved the Doctor, the Master was her best friend and she knew him better than anyone. So, the moment the alarm sounded, she knew he was involved somehow. She ran toward the room of teleports. It was after hours so their was no operator. She grabbed the book of codes, and scanned the index for the right code. She finally found it and punched it in.
Seconds later she arrived in the Hall of leaders, a building that contained a portrait of every great leader from every planet. Every time that they stopped at a museum, the Master could always be found in the hall of leaders or some where like it. He had probably stolen a portrait of someone he admired or something like that. She looked around, but didn't see him anywhere. She was about to try the building that housed the history of Galifrey, when someone came through the teleport.
The Master, a tall young man with dark brown hair and green eyes the color of the moon that shone above Abitrex 5, materialized in the other teleport pad. He smiled, "I figured you would be in here looking for me. We have to get back to the tardis right now."
"What did you do this time?" she said with a raised eyebrow.
"Does it matter? I'll tell you when we are safe inside the tardis, now lets go!" he replied with a tone of exasperation.
"You head back to the tardis, I'll go find the Doctor," she said and before he could object, she grabbed the book of codes and quickly scanned the pages for the correct code. She typed in 2733, the tele pad number of the building that housed the history of Sol 3.
As often as they ended up in museums, it was even more often that the ended up on Sol 3, or Earth as it's inhabitants called it. So, when ever they did go to the Museum, you could be sure to find him in the section on Earth. As she arrived she saw the Doctor walking up; his blonde, almost white, hair was hanging in his brown eyes.
"What did he do now?" he said as soon as he spotted her.
"I have no idea, he wouldn't tell me," she replied, and then sighed before adding, "but we better hurry up and get back to the tardis."
They punched in the code for the hanger they had parked their tardis in. As they arrived they where surrounded by a ring of guards in black armor, standing between them and the tardis. The guard in front removed his helmet. An alien that could only be describe as looking like the Rhino, a lessor life form indigenous of the planet Earth.
She was racking her brain trying to remember what they where and wishing she had paid attenton at the Academy, when one of them began to speak, "Who are you? Where is the heating apparatus?"
"The heating what?" the Doctor replied before adding, "I'm the Doctor, who are you?"
"We are the Judoon," replied the head guard.
"Great, well we don't have your heating... thingy," he replied.
"If you refuse to return the heating apparatus you will be executed," the guard replied frankly and then pulled something out of a holster on his belt.
Out of the corner of her eye Laura noticed the door of the tardis open slowly, and the Master's head poke out. She quickly glanced at her companion to make sure that he had seen it too. She knew that he had when that look came over his face, the look that came over his face when he was trying to think of a plan, but wanted to act like it had been his plan all along.
"Well the thing is," the Doctor started, "when you are planning on executing someone, you might not want to let them stand on the teleport. They could always push the return button and end up, oh, lets say back in the building housing the history of Earth." Then with a smile he hit the return button. As they arrived so did the tardis.
Once safely inside, they both looked questioningly at the Master. "Look at this," he said, completely oblivious to his friends annoyance, "you set this down and push this button, it can heat up the area up to thirty feet around it by up to one hundred degrees!" He added with a smile.
"You almost got us killed, for that!" the Doctor yelled.
"I saved you didn't I?" The Master objected.
Laura recognized this as the beginning of one of their epic , without saying a word, she walked over, picked up the heater, and headed toward the tardis door. Both men froze and watched her as she walked across the room. When she got to the door, she opened it and with a smile deposited the small cylinder into the Judoon's outstretched hand. She shut the door and shot the Doctor and the Master a look of finality, which they both knew better than to question. Then with a tone that never would have revealed how flustered she was, she added, "Anyone up for a trip to Barcelona?"
