Amidst the room shaking around them and the loud angry voice coming their way the blonde turned to Andrew surprisingly without a hint of alarm on her face. "What's your name?"
He on the other hand had understandably begun to freak out. "My name? You're crazy! We need to get out of here!"
Footsteps began to get closer as the booming voice warned. "Put your hands where I can see them and don't try running away!"
Andrew moved to run but the woman quickly grabbed his arm preventing him as she looked into his eyes seemingly asking him again without words. With a mix of annoyance and genuine fear he answered, "My name is Andrew, alright then?"
The woman's grin returned as she instructed, "Alright Andrew, now we run!"
The large gentlemen met their eyes and began to raise a shotgun at them while the Wolf turned off the screwdriver and ran out the door pulling Andrew along with her.
Their pursuer took a shot that hit a trash can but Andrew and the Wolf had already turned the corner and were mixing into the evening foot traffic. They both shared a look between them of amusement as they saw the burly man turn back inside having given up.
The blonde's smile died. "Sorry, about back there scaring you like that. It's just I… I felt guilty not having asked what your name was."
"Could have asked me now."
"Didn't know if we'd get out of there alive."
Andrew's throat gulped. The Wolf acted like she knew what she was doing yet she really risked her life there and him with it. He wasn't sure if he wanted to get involved in that type of life.
His thoughts began to be interrupted as the blonde loudly sniffed with appreciation. "Mmmmm… I smell chocolate." They happened to be in front of a chocolate shop as its occupants inside got ready to close their doors for the night. "I've always liked cho… Oh, I've met you before, haven't I, Andrew! How did I forget?"
Andrew was confused and didn't say a word. Before this evening he had briefly saw the woman in the middle of the night run past him and he doubted it was what she meant. Awkward. The Wolf picked up on Andrew's body language as she responded, "Only you haven't met me yet, then, I guess."
"Huh?"
"Time lines. You'll get used to it apparently."
Just as Andrew was about to tell the Wolf she was off her rocker a new element came into the equation. He was a tall man likely in his 30's with a pinstriped coat emerging from the crowd.
The tall man leaned down as he kissed the Wolf before asking, "Good job! The sensors of my electromagnetic detector are showing a gap in the communications so now we can figure it out." The man then briefly looked at Andrew getting caught off guard. "Oh, I'm rude. Who's the bloke, Rose?"
"Your future companion, Andrew, apparently."
He rubbed his hand on his neck annoyed at first. "I don't want…" The tall man looked from Rose to Andrew catching whatever rude thing he was about to say before thrusting his arm out proclaiming, "Hi! I'm the Doctor!"
Andrew briefly shook the Doctor's hand with his mind filled with disbelief at the whole ordeal he was currently going through. "You're putting me on, are ya? One of these dudes is like carrying a camera or something. Alright, already, you got me! Let's just get this shit over with."
The Doctor frowned. "Sorry?"
"I mean come on, man! Attractive blonde girl over here shows up in the middle of the night to peak my interest, then when I meet her she mysteriously calls herself the Wolf while she flirts with me." The Doctor gave Rose an accusatory glance. "We steal something on some crazy ass farce about aliens or 'Chamils,' then we narrowly escape and you come up and blow my whole romantic ambitions and are like 'Hi, I'm the Doctor.'"
"Well, I happen to be the Doctor."
Rose fought laughter before spitting it out suddenly much to the surprise of the two men. It only made her laugh harder.
Andrew spoke over her laughter, "Ha! Ha! Very funny, I should kick your ass for pulling this one on me." The effect stopped her from laughing as she appeared confused.
The Doctor pointed behind them towards another alley. "We should…"
Rose cut him off, eager to likely get away. "Yeah… Good idea."
To Andrew's amazement both of the strange people turned together and started walking away from him. "Hey! I'm talking to you assholes!"
They didn't say anything back as they went into the alley walking towards a blue police box. Now, Andrew had never seen one of those things before, so he only took a guess it was a police box because it said 'Police' on it. Simple logic for you.
"If you think you're trying to scare me you're doing a very good job of it!"
The couple calmly opened the door to the box and stepped inside before closing it.
"That can't fit both of you can it? Where's the prop?" Andrew noticed the lack of a wall behind it as it just sat in the middle of the alley. Oh, he should have known. There's a trap door under it! "Ah, I get it! Trap door! Trap Door! Why I oughta…"
Andrew stopped yelling as soon as he began hearing the sounds of loud engines grinding, felt a strong wind from almost nowhere and saw the box beginning to disappear right before his very eyes.
Andrew yelled over the noise. "Hey! This ain't funny anymore!"
The box disappeared and everything was quiet again. Andrew was left stunned and staring at a normal alley in the middle of Los Angeles with absolutely no clue what had just happened with his mouth wide open in disbelief.
Understandably, Andrew went home and took a nap….
