"Right so should we split up?" Jack said turning around to watch the Tardis disappear.

"I suppose, Rory go with Amy, I'll go with you Jack. Let's meet at the front doors in an hour, if this place even has them." River started to walk down one side of the corridor. Jack quickly trailed behind her.

Amy and Rory started to go the other way down the hallway. "Do you think he's here?" Amy asked as the turned the corner.

"Yeah, I do Amy. Although I don't know where here is. John could've been a little more helpful in telling us where we are." They started to walk through a large stretch of hallway when Amy saw a sign posted on the wall. It read: UNIT STOREHOUSE 6.

"Unit, isn't that…?" She asked turning to him.

"Yeah, I think it is."

"How big do you think this place is?" They turned another corner to reveal another identical hallway.

"I have no idea Amy, but so far it looks enormous."


"Jack, please do hurry." River said as she quickly walked in front of him as he tried to keep up.

"I'm going at a normal pace." He said back as he stopped walking and ran to catch up to her.

"Look, if he's here I would like to find him before he leaves."

"Trust me if there's anything that I understand it's how to try and find that man before he disappears ." She turned around and looked at him.

"What would you know about that Jack?"

"Did he not tell you about me?"

"I know that you're a fixed point in time, I can feel it."

"But do you know what that means River?" He started to walk again slower this time and she followed behind.

"What Jack? What does that mean?" She asked impatiently.

"I'm decades old, I've tried to die and I just can't. I spent years looking for the Doctor once, just for him to try and loose me because I'm not natural. I know what it's like to try and find him, even if sometimes he doesn't want to be found."

"So you're not human?"

"No, I am human; at least I was until Rose saved me."

"Rose? What does she have to do with this?" They turned the corner.

"Has he told you guys anything about her? She has to do with almost everything."

"That doesn't answer my question Jack."

"She wanted to save the Doctor from the Daleks, not just the Daleks but from the emperor too. All she had was the Tardis so she absorbed the time vortex and saved him and saved me. But she saved me too much and now I can never die."

"She absorbed the time vortex? Wouldn't that have killed her?" They turned another corner.

"It almost did, but he took it from her and that's why he regenerated." River looked down at her hand. The bow tie was tied around her wrist. She knew that he loved her, but it seemed like she underestimated how much he loved Rose.

"Why, why did he leave her if he loved her so much?"

"Why? Because he wanted her to be happy I suppose." He saw the unhappy expression on Rivers face, "but he loves you, I can tell, he really loves you."

"He doesn't love me as much as he loved her." They turned yet another corner to reveal what seemed to be a main hallway.

"He married you though didn't he?"

"Just because he wanted me to kill him."

"What?!" Jack said turning to look at her.

"Long story. Look I understand that you know him Jack. I'm sorry I doubted that. I just want to find him and find him soon."


"Martha where are you going?" He asked as she left the door way walking further into the building.

"I thought you wanted a tarp. There has to be one here somewhere." Her heels clicked as she left him in search of a tarp. "You know," she said turning around, "this would go by a lot faster if you looked for one too."

Martha Jones was still the same independent woman he had left. He had damaged her less than the others, maybe that was because she had walked away where the others couldn't. Right, so he needed to find a tarp.


The rain kept on pouring down as she walked barefoot through the city. When she came to the street she thought she was back there again, just for a minute.

"Thanks for the walk." He said as they approached the street they lived on hand in hand.

"Thank you. I'm the one who wanted to go on it." They started to turn up on the street when she stopped to look at the street sign. "Don't you think it's strange that we live on Galley Way?"

"No, why?"

"Cause if you say it fast enough it sounds like Gallifrey. Galley Way, Gallifrey, get it?" He laughed as he looked down at her.

"I guess you're right."

She stared at the sign on the street. It looked the same, it was in the same place, bent at the same angle, and it said the same name, Galley Way.

She walked up the street wondering if at 42 Galley Way she would find the same house with the same blue door.
