This chapter took a bit longer to write than I anticipated, sorry about that. I'll have Rose in the next chapter. I needed to round Alexis up first.

Alexis pulled into the compound's underground parking garage. She would have to do something about Grant. She couldn't have any more mistakes, not with that much money on the line. That child was her future. Everything was riding on this and the last thing she was going to do was let some idiot botch things up.

She pulled into her parking space and cut the engine. Grant needed a lesson and she was intent on giving him one. She opened the door and stepped out of the car.

"You've been a bad girl, Madam Vice President," a familiar voice echoed through the garage.

Alexis froze. The Benefactor. How did he find her? She quickly hid her shock and spread her lips into a fake grin as she turned around. He was standing behind her car, giving her a stony gaze.

"I-"

"Wasn't expecting me? Didn't think I'd find you way out here in the middle of nowhere?" He stepped closer, threateningly.

She held her ground. She hadn't gotten this far in life by letting people manipulate her. Even if he was dangerous, which he was very dangerous, she wasn't going to cower in front of him.

"No, I-"

"I thought we had an understanding. I help you become the Vice President and you provide me with information about all of the visitors. I fulfilled my end of the agreement, but you've gone back on yours."

"I've given you information on all the visitors."

"What about the girl, the one you have locked up in the compound?"

"Technically she isn't a visitor."

He laughed. The hollow sound sent a chill down her spine.

"You're going to argue technicalities with me?"

The child was worth far too much for Alexis to let him swoop in and take her prize away from her. She did all the work. She found the child, she sent someone to retrieve the girl, she hid the girl away in a secret compound. He wasn't going to come in and take what was rightfully hers.

"I don't-"

"Here's what's going to happen. You're going to call whoever's in charge and tell them you can't make it, but you're sending me in your place. Not only that, but you're putting me in charge of the entire compound. You'll only liaison with me from now on."

That certainly wasn't going to happen. She almost laughed in his face, but the look in his eyes stopped her.

"And if I refuse?"

"Oh, Alexis, did you forget what I'm capable of? This is your one chance to save yourself," he leaned down and whispered the last bit in her ear, "You should take it."

He leaned back and locked eyes with her. She could see the darkness in his soul and it shook her. This wasn't about money anymore. It was about survival. She stepped back and pulled out her phone. She waited through two rings before someone picked up.

"Hello?" Grant asked.

"Grant, I've had a…situation develop, but I'm sending someone else in my place," she said.

"Someone else?"

"Yes. He's a…business associate of mine." She glanced at The Benefactor. He was watching her every move. "I probably won't make it down for a while so I'm putting him in charge of things."

"Who is he?"

She covered the speaker with her free hand. "He wants to know who you are."

"Tell him I'm…John. Dr. John Chambers."

Doctor? She shrugged.

"Dr. John Chambers."

"You're putting a Doctor in charge?"

"Yes. Do you have a problem with that?" she asked in a cold voice.

"N-no, madam."

"Good. He should be arriving soon and any other communications I send will go through him."

She hung up before he could protest and slipped her phone back in her pocket. If John thought she was going to let that child go so easily he was wrong. She'd let him be in charge if that's what he wanted, for now. She had six months to find a way to get the girl out of there.

"If we're done I'd like to go home now," she said, turning around to open her car door.

"Not just yet," he said, grabbing her hand and turning her back around.

Dr. John Chambers, who wasn't really Dr. John Chambers, but it would work for now, put his hands on her temples to establish the connection.

"What are you-"

He silenced her protests. Humans were so easy to control. He searched for all instances of the girl and the child. The first one he came across was her meeting with The Trader. He would need to be dealt with. John filed that under things to do later and moved on.

The next was a phone conversation with Alec. He'd already taken care of the hitman so he moved on to a phone conversation with Dr. Andrews. He knew Andrews was dead because he'd seen that in Alec's mind. Wait. What was that? He went back to the conversation with Dr. Andrews. Time energy? There was an accident with the TARDIS that changed the girl's DNA. That's fantastic! Did the Doctor know? No, of course he didn't, otherwise he wouldn't have left her there unless…he thought she was dangerous. He hoped she was. That would be brilliant! If she wasn't maybe he could make her dangerous.

He reigned in his enthusiasm and concentrated on finding the rest of Alexis' memories of the girl and her child. When he'd erased all traces of them he gave Alexis her instructions, starting small to make sure nothing went wrong.

Pull the phone out of your pocket. Her hand slid into her pocket and then she pulled the phone out. Drop it on the ground. The phone clattered to the cement. When I step back you're going to get in your car and drive home. You're never going to call or visit the compound again. You're not even going to think about it because thinking about it will make you sick. If anyone from the compound ever contacts you, you won't want to talk to them. He took his hands off her temples and stepped back.

She didn't even look at him. Instead, she got in her car. He kicked her phone under her front tire before she drove away. It would've been easier to kill her, but he didn't have anywhere else to keep the girl while she was pregnant. Once the child was born he could manipulate her into cooperating, but at the moment he didn't have anything to hold over her.

I don't own Doctor Who, any of its Characters, any of its Story Lines, however I do own a fez.
