Sal glanced around the park, her eyes accustomed to the sights of that Monday morning. From the two businessmen in Starbucks arguing over the stocks to a mother and her child, scattering the autumn leaves under a huge tree. Little did they know of the devastation that lay before Manhattan and the world the next day. 9/11 as it would be known. She shuddered as a sudden breeze blew her long black hair into her eyes. As she brushed it away, she gazed in shock at a new sight.

"Here we are!" The Doctor threw open the TARDIS doors and walked outside. "New York, 2001." Harry and Caoimhe followed him outside, the sudden sunlight nearly blinding them.

"What date is it?" Caoimhe asked him as she and Harry caught up to the Doctor. The Timelord grabbed a newspaper off a nearby stand, ignoring the mean look the stand attendant gave him. Harry gazed around the new landscape in awe. The skyscrapers lived up to their name, the tops barely visible in the clouds. As he turned he saw something impossible on the horizon. He turned back to the others and saw Caoimhe and the Doctor staring in shock at the newspaper. The Doctor fished out a dollar from a wallet from the battered tweed and bought the newspaper. Harry followed them as they entered what he believed to be Central Park. It was nearly deserted, apart from a mother and child under the trees and one dark haired girl, who seemed to be about Harry's age, talking earnestly into a mobile.

"Maddy, I'm being serious! Shadda ya." Sal sighed as the team leader dismissed her claim. "There are three people here that I've never seen before. D'you think I'd make it up?"

Maddy rolled her eyes. "Do you want me to go over there? Liam'll be fine; he's talking to Computer Bob." She turned to look at the Irishman. He was talking into a microphone amidst a sea of computer monitors. Liam was the operative, he was the one who actually went back in time. Sal was always saying about how she wanted to go but Maddy had always said no, it's too dangerous. And so for protection, they grew Bob, an artificial intelligence with the strength of a bull. He'd been 'killed' in the last mission but his 'brain' was downloaded into the computer. That was what Liam was talking to. Becks, the most recent AI was resting in her tank so she was fine.

"I would take a photo to show you but there's no flippin' camera on this piece of junk phone!" Sal groaned down the phone. This was followed by an "Ouch. The girl just hit the professor looking guy." Maddy stopped the call and walked out of the archway, towards the park.

"You brought us to 9/11?" Caiomhe shouted as the Doctor held his face in pain. Harry grabbed Caiomhe by the waist and dragged her away, noticing the girl on the bench looking at them oddly.

"Calm down!" he led her to the bench across from Sal. "It's not his fault this signal's coming from here." Once Caiomhe had calmed down enough, Harry walked over to the Doctor and began talking to him. Caiomhe glanced over to the girl on the other bench and gave a small smile. She was pretty, only about 13 years old. Sal smiled back and saw Maddy rushing over to her, the girl's frizzy hair blowing all over her face.

"OK. Point out these 'new people'." Maddy asked. Caiomhe listened as much as she could. Sal pointed to her. Her long, dark hair covered her face as she averted her gaze. Sal continued to point out Harry. His white t-shirt framed how dark his hair was and he was wearing dark jeans and trainers. Finally, the Doctor. "You're right Sal. He looks like a college professor I had."

"What do we do? The boy said something about a signal. What about our equipment?" Sal asked quietly. Caiomhe walked over to the other two and told them what she'd found out.

"What's wrong with my look?" The Doctor asked, obviously annoyed at what the girls had said. "Bowties are cool!"

"Anyway, can't you use the sonic and, I dunno, scan them?" Harry asked, embarrassed at his novice status in all this time travel stuff.

"I could check for residual tachyon particles." Harry looked over to Caiomhe, who just rolled her eyes. The Doctor quickly walked over to the two girls and scanned them with the screwdriver.

"Hey!" Sal protested but the Doctor just ignored her.

"You have residual tachyon particles. Question is how do you have them if no time travel exists in this time?" he asked, pointing to Maddy.

"How do you know about time travel?" Maddy was shocked. "Are you another Timeriders team?"

"It must be from that time you and Liam went back to get the stuff for growing Becks." Sal interrupted.

"Timeriders?" Harry asked.

The Doctor finished. "We aren't 'Timeriders' but we are time travellers. We've been tracking a signal, probably coming from your equipment, which is unique to time travel technology. Can you show us?" Sal and Maddy looked uneasy. "We won't do anything you don't want us to and we'll leave when you want us to." The two girls discussed what they should do and came to an agreement.

"Becks won't like it but it couldn't hurt to show you guys around." Maddy smiled and began to walk towards the archway, wondering if they really could be trusted.

That was probably the longest chapter I have EVER done! Please review, it helps me to write, knowing people want more! XxXx
