The Doctor was taken up to the office, where he was being questioned by a cop. "Start from the beginning." he said "Tell me everything you know."

"Well, for starters, I know you can't wrap your hand round your elbow and make your fingers meet."

"Don't get clever with me." he said "You were there today at Florizel Street, and now breaking into this establishment. Oh, you're connected with this. Make no mistake."

"Well, the thing is, Detective Inspector Bishop…"

"How do you know my name?" He asked

"It's written inside your collar." the Doctor answered "Bless your mum. But I can't help thinking. Detective Inspector, you're not exactly doing much detective-inspecting, are you?"

"I'm doing everything in my power."

"All you're doing is grabbing those faceless people and hiding them as fast as you can. Don't tell me, orders from above. Coronation Day, the eyes of the world are on London Town, so any sort of problem just gets swept out of sight."

"The nation has an image to maintain."

"But doesn't it drive you mad, doing nothing?" the Doctor asked "Don't you want to get out there and investigate?"

"Course I do." DI Bishop said "But…" he sat down across from the Doctor "with all the crowds expected, we haven't got the manpower. Even if we did, this is beyond anything we've ever seen. I just don't know anymore. Twenty years on the force, I don't even know where to start. We haven't the faintest clue what's going on."

"Well, that could change." the Doctor told him

"How?"

The Doctor stood up "Start from the beginning." he said "Tell me everything you know."

The Detective Inspector showed him their files "We started finding them about a month ago. Persons left sans visage. Heads just…blank."

"Is there any sort of pattern?" the Doctor asked

"It's spreading out from North London, all over the city. Men, women, kids, grannies. Only real lead is there's been quite a large number in…"

"Florizel Street." the Doctor finished

The door opened "Found another one, sir." The two of them looked up

"Oh, good man, Crabtree." said Bishop "Here we are, Doctor. Take a good look. See what you can deduce."

The person was uncovered and the Doctor felt his hearts constrict, standing in front of them was his wife, but her face was gone.

"Rose."

"You know her?" Bishop asked

"Know her?" he said "She…" he couldn't finish the sentence, he just stepped forwards and touched her face

"Who is she?" Crabtree asked as he handed Bishop the file.

"She's my wife."

Bishop hadn't been listening, he'd been looking at the file. "They found her in the street apparently, down by Damascus Road." he read "Just abandoned. That's unusual. That's the first one out in the open…."

The Doctor was no longer listening, he was just staring at Rose. "…we'll have Torchwood on our backs then, make no mistake."

"They did what?" the Doctor asked, finally snapping out of it

"I'm sorry?"

"They left her where?"

"Just…in the street."

"In the street." he said, angrily "They left her in the street. They took her face and just chucked her out and left her in the street. And, as a result, that makes things…simple, very, very simple. Do you know why?"

"No."

"Because now, Detective Inspector Bishop, there is no power on this Earth that can stop me! Come on!" He took one last look at Rose and left with DI Bishop on his heels, they went out side

"The big day dawns."

They went to Tommy's house and knocked the door. Tommy answered it

"Tommy, talk to me." The Doctor said

Okay, and that's where I leave you for now, cause I'm off to bed now. Nighty-night.
