Living a Dream P15The TARDIS landed and the Doctor picked Fenn up and carried her out the door. He had no idea where or when they where; all that mattered was that there was a hospital nearby. He ran towards the nearest building he could see, hoping desperately that it was the hospital. He took absolutely no notice of his surroundings as he ran.The building was a hospital- to the Doctor's eternal relief- and he ran into the emergency admittance section, feeling Fenn fading in his arms, which were by now covered in her blood. There was a queue twelve people long with broken bones or breathing problems- he almost collapsed at the idea that Fenn would die while
Living a Dream P14They bolted down the corridors into the storage facilities, the sound of pursuing footsteps echoing in their ears. They reached the door, and the Doctor went to work with his sonic while Fenn stood beside him, gun trained towards the approaching pursuers.The Doctor glanced at her, "I thought you said you weren't going to hurt them!"Fenn shook her head, "This isn't hurting them, this is self-defence!"The door finally slid open and the two erstwhile friends slipped hurriedly inside. The TARDIS stood there, at the back of the room, almost glowing blue under the harsh white light. The Doctor ran to the door, patting down his pockets until h
Living a Dream P13"Doctor?"He jumped up and pressed his face against the bars, trying to see who was in the cell next to him."Hannah, is that you?"But it wasn't Hannah staring back at him from the other cell's bars."River?""Doctor, it IS you! What are you doing here?"She looked a lot younger than he remembered, "Never mind that, what are you doing here?"She smiled her patronizing little smile, "Looks like neither of us is going to tell the other how we got here. Question is, how do we get out?"The Doctor paused, "Well I've got a friend..."River looked around, "I don't see them anywhere.""That's because she's probably being tortured as we sp
Living a Dream P12The Doctor struggled as the guards began to drag him out of the room, "No! Stop! What is this? Where are you taking me?"Delven laughed, "Your cell, Doctor. Welcome to our Stormcage facility. I hope you find it welcoming."They pulled him down a white, clean corridor and into another; this one was made of concrete and had the look of a factory about it. All along one wall of the corridor were cells- each one was occupied with criminals from various times and species. The occupants stared- it was obvious that they recognised him. Finally, the procession reached an empty cell and pushed him in. The Doctor threw himself against the bars, scowl
Living a Dream P11The bar was silent as Fenn marched the Doctor back towards the door- even the music had stopped. The sight of the legendary Doctor being marched off in handcuffs inspired some admiring looks aimed towards Fenn. Jack ran up to them, walking alongside them. He whispered to Fenn, "Fenn, what the hell are you doing?""My job, Jack.""You can't just take the Doctor into custody!""Can't I? You're out of the agency- you're in no position to question me."Jack pulled out a gun and pointed it at Fenn's head, "What about now?"Fenn, in turn, pulled out a gun of her own and pressed it against the Doctor's back, the guilt of her actions flashing ac
