"It's not my fault we got trapped here!"
"You shouldn't have let him in the shop!"
"Vince shouldn't have let him in the shop but he decided to disappear!"
"Where?"
"I dunno, probably to Topshop or something." The Doctor stood in front of one of the cages, which held two men and an ape. He coughed gently to make his presence known.
"Evening." He stated with folded arms "When we're quite done arguing…" He reached into his blazer pocket making the men in the cage take a few steps back. He brought out his sonic screwdriver and worked at the bars on the cage "This will take a few minutes. Hi I'm the Doctor."
"Doctor who?"
"Exactly."
"How did you get in here?" One man said.
"I came through the entrance, with Vince…We were looking for you but he's wandered off somewhere…Like children do when they're bored."
"You know Vince?"
"Briefly yes. Who are you lot then?"
"I'm Howard, this is Naboo and Bollo." The tallest man introduced them slowly, usually Howard would have made an effort to introduce himself properly, 'Howard Moon, man of action' and all that stuff.
"Nice to meet you all." The Doctor grinned "I've heard so much."
"About us?"
"About everything, Vince doesn't shut up." The three nodded in agreement as one of the bars came loose from the cage. The Doctor lay it on the floor trying to make as little noise as possible "Anyone care to explain what happened and what or who we're dealing with?"
"He's called the Hitcher." Naboo offered "A cockney green faced maniac." The Doctor waited for a little more explanation "He's a knob."
"Right…" He removed more bars from the cage and finally he had freed the prisoners "Ok then…A plan, plan, plan, plan…A plan would be great right about now!" The Doctor babbled "Uhm…Plan…Any offers?" He got blank stares and rolled his eyes "Maybe I can track something else down with this." He raised his sonic screwdriver and let it blink on and off then began walking down the corridors with the others following.
The sonic began buzzing rather strangely bringing a grin to the Doctor's face.
"Found something." He whispered "Only problem is, I don't know what I've found."
Apologies for such a short chapter, I have assessments on Friday and have to get my coursework completed VV" But it's so hard to fight the temptation to write for all you lovely readers!
