Chapter 5
At the bank…
The Doctor, Martha, Mickey, and Jack ran into the bank full steam. The Doctor pulled a picture out of his inside coat pocket and showed it to the guard at the door. He pointed out a teller and they ran up to the counter.
"Have you seen her?" The Doctor asked the teller, showing him the picture of him and Rose on Woman Wept.
"Oh yes! Lady Wolf of Gallifrey," the teller said with a smile.
"What?" The Doctor asked. "Lady Wolf of WHAT?"
Martha, Mickey, and Jack looked at each other and started to laugh.
"Gallifrey. I've never heard of it but her ID made it plain and clear. She withdrew 7000 pounds from the royal account," the teller informed them.
"7000 pounds?" Martha and Mickey asked in unisons.
"That's…a little more than…$10,000 U.S." Jack exclaimed.
The Doctor ignored them, "Do you know where she was going?"
"No sir," the teller responded.
The Doctor ran his hands through his hair exasperated. Suddenly, an idea hit him!
"Can I use your computer?" he asked the teller,
"Of course, I'm going on my break anyways."
The Doctor jumped over the counter and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. He pointed it at the computer. Martha. Mickey, and Jack all leaned over the counter to see what he's doing.
"Alright, Doc, what's the plan?" Jack asked.
"I'm going to widen the parameters of the search engine to include every computer in Cardiff. If she's been anywhere I'll know about it." The Doctor put the screwdriver back in his pocket and began to type.
"Remember she'd be Jackie Wolf!" Martha reminded him.
The Doctor nodded and waited for the computer to load the page. As soon as it did, "Ah-ha! She checked into the Hilton! Room 1963! Allons-y!" The Doctor jumped back over the counter and all four ran out to their waiting cab.
With Rose…
"Here we are Love, Canary Wharf."
Rose thanked the cabbie and paid him. She got out of the cab and stood there, looking up at the huge building in front of her.
"Torchwood…" the voice whispered.
"Right, Torchwood. Someone works there…someone I should know," Rose said, realizing she was talking to the invisible voice again.
"Captain…" was the answer.
"Captain Jack Harkness!" Rose recalled.
Jack: "So…when you say 'your companion', how disappointed should I be?" Rose: "Ok… we're standing in mid-air on a space-ship during a German air-raid. Do you really think now's a good time to be coming on to me?" Jack: "Perhaps not." Rose: "It was just a suggestion."
Rose laughed out loud…then she saw it and gasped.
"The TARDIS," Rose whispered.
The Hotel…
The four ran into the hotel, straight to the elevator, and up to the 9th floor. They reached room 1963 and The Doctor knocked on the door. When no one answered, he used the sonic screwdriver and opened it. They all walk in together.
"Rose?" The Doctor called out, the hope evident in his voice. There was no answer.
"She's run off again," Jack said.
"What now?" Mickey asked. Martha picked up the open phone book from the bed.
"I don't know. We can wait here for her. Or start walking up and down the streets of Cardiff," The Doctor suggested.
"Or we could go where she went…Torchwood," Martha said as she held up the book for the others to see.
The Doctor smiled, "To Torchwood!"
