They had landed in a small warehouse office about five miles from Cape Kennedy Center.
"Why would a little girl be here?" Rose asked taking Kiam's hand tightly.
"I don't President asked the girl where she was, and she did what any lost little girl would do. She looked out of the window." He points at the street sign. "The only place in Florida, probably all of America, with those three street names on the same junction." He starts looking around with River while Rose stares out the window. He picks up the phone in the office to find that the cord has been cut. Jack and Canton finally join the group.
"We've moved. How, how can we have moved?" Canton asks confused.
"Be brave Canton. Come on." He says heading out the office door.
"It's a warehouse of some kind. Disused." River stated.
"You realize this is almost certainly a trap." Jack said.
"I noticed the phone, yes."
"What about it?" Rose asked.
"It was cut off. So how did the child phone from here?" River wondered aloud.
"I don't know, Let's find her and ask her." They walk further into the warehouse and come across some unusual technology. River scans it with her vortex manipulator.
"It's nonterrestrial. Definitely alien."
"Which is odd, because look at this!" He points at a crate of spacesuits sitting nearby. "This is from the space program."
"Stolen?" River asks.
"What, by aliens?" Rose looks at him and he shrugs.
"Apparently."
"But why? I mean, if you can make it all the way to Earth, why steal technology that can barely make it to the moon?" Rose asked.
"Very good question," He kneels down and examines one of the helmets. Finding nothing unusual he starts to look around again.
"Doctor? Look at this." River calls out and he heads over to her to find she is kneeling next to a manhole cover.
"So where does that go?"
"There's a network of tunnels running under here." She says looking at the readouts.
"Life signs?"
"No, nothing that's showing up."
"Those are the worst kind." He remarks and then watches as she removes the cover of the manhole and starts to head down the ladder.
"Be careful." He told her not wanting to have to rescue both her past and future self.
"Careful? I tried that once. Ever so dull."
"Shout if you get in trouble." Jack tells her.
"Don't worry, I'm quite the screamer."She winked at Jack. "Now there's a spoiler for you."
"So, I was in a bar having a drink. Tell me, honestly, Am I still there?" Canton asks.
"Afraid not." Rose answers him.
River pops her head up from the tunnel. "All clear. Just tunnels. Nothing down there I can see. Er, give me five minutes. I want to take another look around."
"Stupidly dangerous!" Jack says.
"Yeah, I like it too." She replies as she heads back down.
"Jack, would you mind going with her?"
"Not at all." He grinned. "Hang on, River. I'm coming too."
They had been gone awhile and getting worried he decided to head down himself. "Wait here." he tells Rose and Canton and then climbs down the ladder. He shines his flashlight and sees River and Jack. Jack has River pinned against the wall.
"Oi." He called out and they both turned to look at him. "We're suppose to be finding a child, not making one."
"You can join if you want," Jack smiled at him.
"Rose, where is my squirt gun."
"You let Kiam play with it." She called down. "Why."
Grumbling he turned and headed back up the ladder. "Come on. Those two can stay here."
Suddenly a little girls cries break the silence of the warehouse. "Help me!"
"That's her." Canton said rushing in that direction.
"Help me! Please!" The little girl cried out again.
"Doctor!" Canton called. He ran after Canton and found him laying on the ground. He pulled out his sonic and ran it over the man.
"Is he all right?" Rose asked coming up behind him.
"Just unconscious." He answered her.
"Help me!"
"That's it. The astronaut." Rose says and he looks at her confused before looking where she is pointing. He sees an astronaut coming towards them and Kiam whimpers and grabs his pants leg. He puts a protective hand on his son and watches as the visor goes back to reveal a little girl.
"Help me!" She calls out again and he starts to step forward but something is behind her. He looks at Rose and is startled to see her holding Canton's gun.
"Rose," He asks and she looks at the gun in her hand and looks at him.
"How did I get this." He gently takes it from her hand and then looks back at the girl. There is a being standing behind her that looks vaguely familiar. It opens it mouth and electricity starts to crackle. He picks up Kiam quickly and grabs Rose's hand, the minute he turns around again he still has the urgency to run but he forgets the little girl.
"Run," He says and sees Canton sitting up. "Jack, River, come on!" He calls.
"What the hell's going on?" Canton asks. He looks behind Canton and sees the creature standing there.
"Look behind you."
Canton looks and when he turns around his face goes blank. "There's nothing behind me."
"Look. Look. Canton, look, I tell you." He cries out.
-DW-
He is in a strait-jacket, shackled to a chair with a yellow circle around it. He is surrounded by guards and notices saying Do Not Approach The Prisoner and Do Not Interact With The Prisoner. Canton walks up to where he is sitting.
"We found Rose and Kiam Tyler. She had strange markings on her arm. Do you know what they are?" Canton asks him throwing pictures at his feet and he clearly sees Rose's arm with tally marks all along it.
"Why don't you ask her?"
-DW-
He watches interested as they build a wall around him.
"We found Doctor Song." Canton says approaching him again.
"These bricks, what are they made of?" He looks at Canton for a second. "Where is she?"
"She ran. Off the fiftieth floor."
He turns his attention back to the bricks. "I'd say zero balance dwarf star alloy. The densest material in the universe. Nothing gets through that. You're building me the perfect prison. And it still won't be enough."
-DW-
The cell has been completed and he sits there watching as Canton carries Kiam in and two guards drag body bags. Kiam light up seeing him and he smiles back at Kiam, before looking at Canton.
"Is there a reason you're doing this?"
"I want you to know where you stand." Canton says. "In the perfect cell. Nothing can penetrate these walls. Not a sound, not a radio wave, not the tiniest particle of anything." As the soldiers leave he walks over to the door and presses a panel. The door closes. "In here, you're literally cut off from the rest of the universe. So I guess they can't hear us, right?"
"Good work, Canton. Door sealed?" He asks.
"You bet." Canton answers and he stands up and and the straight Jacket and shackles fall off. He reaches out his arms and Kiam jumps into them. He hugs Kiam tightly and kisses his head as Canton opens the body bags and Rose and Jack sit up.
"Are you okay?" He asks Rose helping her to her feet.
"Finally." She says.
"These things could really do with air holes." Jack complains.
"Never had a complaint before." Canton says snidely.
"Isn't it going to look odd that you're staying in here with us?" Rose wonders.
"Odd, but not alarming. They know there's no way out of this place." Canton tells her.
"Exactly. Whatever they might think we're doing in here, they know we're not going anywhere." He snaps his fingers and the Tardis door opens. "Allons-y" He says heading on board.
"What about Doctor Song?" Canton asks once there all on. "She dove off a rooftop."
"Don't worry. She does that. I think." He tells Canton. "Jack get ready." He parks the Tardis sideways on the skyscraper and Jack catches River as she falls through the doors. He immediately flicks the lever and sends the Tardis back to the Time Vortex.
"So, we know they're everywhere. Not just a landing party, an occupying force, and they 'have been here a very, very long time. But nobody knows that, because no one can remember them." He says turning around to look at the group.
"So what are they up to?" Canton asks him.
"No idea. But we've got a secret weapon."
He injects Nanorecords into all of their hands and explains to them that if the light is flashing it means that they have had an encounter with the strange beings.
"You then describe exactly what you are seeing because the minute you look away you will forget." He explains. "In three months all we have learned is that they are everywhere. Jack describe them"
"I can't."
"No neither can I." He pauses "But, they've been running your lives for a very long time now, so keep this straight in your head. We are not fighting an alien invasion, we're leading a revolution. And today, the battle begins. Now then, a little girl in a spacesuit. They got the suit from NASA, but where did they get the girl?"
"It could be anywhere." Canton says.
"Except they'd probably stay close to that warehouse, because why bother doing anything else? And they'd take her from somewhere that would cause the least amount of attention. But you'll have to find her. I'm off to NASA."
"Find her? Where do we look?"
"Children's homes."
