Chapter Eight: An Awful Lot of Running
Amy stood in front of the doctor. The feeling of his lips against her's racing through her head, she loved him more than anyone. More than Rory, the man who she was supposed to be marrying when the doctor took her back home. "They took you. Because of me" the doctor said as he realised. "I was telling that computer about the tardis and then you were taken." He explained. "Well done. Now tell us where this tardis is and we will let you and your girlfriend go. "Girlfriend!" Amy shouted out at the unseen voice. The voice, was being played out from a small speaker above the door. "Ok then. Now i know that it allows me to presume that you are after the technology for your own good which wouldn't be great for me as its my machine so I would just have to leave without you even realising" The doctor said sternly as he took out his sonic screwdriver to the floor and the end lit. The floor cracked open and the doctor jumped down the crack, followed by Amy.
"What did you do?" She asked. "me walking on the floor all that time raised the static electricity in it so that when i excited that current with the sonic it cracked the floor and we could escape and as this is an empty cell." He explained as he pointed his sonic at the door of the identical cell they found themselves in, "No deadlock seal" he grinned as the door opened with a single click of the sonic. The doctor grabbed Amy's hand, "Run, again" he laughed as they ran out of the cell together.
Together they ran down the long metal corridors as around them, sirens and alarms rang out. The doctor turned quickly down a small side corridor and into another small room. "Ok, now Amy stand over there and hold still" The doctor said as he typed into a small computer in the corner. The doctor walked over and stood next to Amy. "3, 2, 1, teleport!" The doctor said as he shone the sonic screwdriver at the computer and both he and Amy were taken by a large blue column of light. Then they were gone. A skinny man in a black pinstripe suit stood in the doorway staring at the empty room. "They used the teleport, follow them" The man said into his small communicator.
The doctor and Amy appeared in the large lobby of the NW,1,6,18 Entrance Section. "Ok now. Amy, once again, time to run" He laughed as he turned towards the doors and ran hand in hand with Amy. They ran out into the red grass and soon they felt a pulse of energy behind them, "They've followed us and we have about a minute till the next solar wind" the doctor said, "And those bacteria cell things" Amy added as the Tardis came into view. "Yeah. Now we better run faster" He laughed. After a bit more running they reached the blue of the tardis. "Amy, go inside and wait for me" The doctor said as he opened the doors and stood in the doorway. Amy ran inside and waited by the console, looking over at the doctor in the doorway.
Three men in white lab coats ran over to the tardis and stopped in front of the doctor. "Ok now guys. This is how its going to work, I'm going to go in my tardis and find out who, or what is adding exo bacteria cells to the solar winds making them near deadly to this planet. You on the other hand are going to run. Bye" The doctor said sternly before slamming the doors of the tardis closed.
The three men watched as the tardis dematerialised and was soon gone from sight. "Professor Loam, they escaped but I'm sure he will be back" One of the men said into his small communicator attached to his collar. "But we need to get back sir, the solar wind is coming" He continued but to no response. "Sir!" He shouted as the sky filled with red and orange and rubble. A few moments later, the three men were nothing but ash.
