Grace and the other companions were talking since there wasn't much else to do. Then, Sarah Jane spoke up, "We need to see if we can find out who brought us here. The why is obvious, it all centers on the Doctor. But we need to do something." Harry Sullivan smiled, "That's our Sarah Jane." Grace smiled, "True but how do we figure that out? We can't get out of this room and it's obvious our captor isn't coming in here."
Just then, a familiar sound filled the air in the captives room and a battered blue police call box emerged. It was a familiar sight to all in there but the man who stepped out was only familiar to two people. Sarah Jane and Jo Grant looked at each other in shock. It was Sarah who spoke first. "Doctor?"
He looked at the two of them and smiled a very familiar smile. "Jo? Sarah Jane? What are all of you people doing here?" Sarah Jane looked at him. "We don't know. We were brought here by someone and we don't know who or why. These others," she gestured to the rest, "Are not all known to you just yet." He nodded, "I see, they're in my future are they?" Jo smiled, "Yes, they are but I think you know these two."
She stepped aside and he saw Ian and Barbara. His face softened. "It's good to see you two again." Ian smiled, "Good to see you too, Doctor but how do we get out of this mess?" The Doctor frowned, "I'm not sure but I need to find out so I can get all of you home. Is he in there?" He pointed to a window set high in one wall.
Tegan nodded, "We think so. Whenever he talks to us, his voice comes from there. Calls himself "The Collector". He's waiting for you well, one of you, I know that." The Doctor listened as each one told their story of where they were when they were taken away. "Hmm, sounds like he wants to attract any of us." Sarah Jane looked at him. "Why did you come here? How did you know?" His smile was warm. "The old girl told me you and Jo were in trouble so, we came to get you. The question now is how do we end this. Do you know if any of my other selves are coming?"
Jo shook her head, "We have no idea, Doctor. We've had no outside contact since we were brought here." He draped an arm around Jo's shoulders. "I see. Very well, then. all of you, into TARDIS and I'll get you out of here then, I'll find out what happened and who is behind this. Come on, all of you, inside." He held the door open as they all walked inside the old girl, looked around, nodded his head and went inside.
As the Collector returned to his control room, he watched in disbelief as a blue police call box faded from view and his 'collection' was gone. "NOOOOO!" he screamed as his captives got away from him.
Once in the vortex, the Third Doctor opened a special communications channel. Eight looked at his console and raised his eyebrows, "What the...?" He looked at the others. "Communication coming in but..." His blue eyes widened even furthur. "It's from us?" Four looked at him as the others looked around then, he looked at the signal and smiled. "Yes, from Three." The rest looked at each other and Four smiled, "Of course, Jo and Sarah Jane." Eight grinned. "Agreed. He wants us to meet him back at UNIT, his time period. Ready?"
The others nodded and soon they were on their way. It was time to meet up and deal with this fool idiot.
