The Secrets of Sarah Smith

Scared

Scared
The mans eyes slowly opened, his vision slightly blurry. He let out a groan and brought his hand up to his head. It was throbbing. suddenly a baseball bat was thrust in his face not touching him but threatening him.

"Where is my son?" The girl practically snarled at him

"look I've no idea who you are but i can assure you I don't have your son" The man spoke in a strong Scottish accent

"Yea? then what were you doing in my garden?" she challenged

"scanning, I was scanning, There was a large spike in energy readings in this area so I was scanning it. Why am I even explaining this your a pudding brain you'd never understand' the man groaned. his head hurt, he was laying on wet grass and he just wanted to get on with checking the energy reading out. He grabbed the baseball bat out of the girls hands and threw it aside. "Now please just leave me alone to get on with saving the planet of the pudding brains" The man stood up waving at the girl as if to dismiss her and turning back to his scanning of the flower bed. He suddenly turned round a second later. He had a crazy glint in his eye and he began flying his arms around.

"No wait hang on! shut up! Did you say your son was missing? show me!" he demanded.

The girl was completely dumbfounded and slightly terrified by the man but she needed help to find her son so led him inside her flat

"I'm The Doctor by the way" the man mumbled as if it really didn't matter

"I'm Sarah, Sarah Smith" She answered back not really sure if he really cared. she was curious as to why he was called "the doctor" but until she knew what that tube thing in his hand was she wasn't going to risk angering him.

"Sarah for someone so small you've got quite a swing on you. I knew someone once who preferred a baseball bat for a weapon" The Doctor rambled as if he was only half listening to him self. he was waving his tube thing about again concentration etched on his face.

"What is that tubey thingy your waving about?" Sarah asked surprising herself. She usually stayed very quiet around men she didn't know but curiosity won. Her Gran always said she was too curious for her own good.

"tubey thing? oh dear god, its not a tubey thingy its a sonic screwdriver don't they teach you anything in stupid school?" he grumbled.

They went through the whole flat in silence The Doctor waving his sonic screwdriver whatever that was around each room. They got to the babies room.

"ah ha someone was taken from here teleported up" The Doctor announced excitedly

"Yea my son so don't look so happy. can you get him back?" Sarah asked her voice breaking as she fought back tears not even caring how insane the idea of a teleporter was

"No but i can follow the signal in my ship, Stay here!" The Doctor ran from the room Sarah ran after him. if he could find her son she wasn't letting The Doctor out of her sight.

The Doctor ran out of the flat and down the street to a little alley way, Sarah following close behind. He ran straight into a blue box that said "Police Public Call Box" on top. slightly confused and worried The Doctor really was just a quack Sarah entered the box

"Oh My God" she gasped. inside the tiny box was a huge room with different levels book cases full off old looking booms a few large leather chairs occupied the top level. straight in front of her was The Doctor running around a circular console with a hundred different buttons and leavers a tall clear tube filled with an orange light connected it to a rotating well she wasn't really sure what they were but they had weird circular designs on them.

"Thought i told you to stay" The Doctor shouted angerly from the other side of the room pulling Sarah out of her daze.

"Its bigger on the inside" she said weakly

"Well of course it is! its a TARDIS" The Doctor was getting annoyed now "You pudding brains never listen"

"I want to know where my son is, I'm still not sure you haven't took him" Sarah snapped back

"We're here. if you insist on coming too then do as you are told got it?" The Doctor stormed past Sarah ignoring her comment and heading towards the wooden door throwing it open and sulking out of it. Sarah gingerly followed not really understanding.

They had moved! how on earth had they moved? They were stood in a dark corridor lit only slightly by long red strip lights the walls ceiling and floor were black there was no windows or doors that she could see. The floor felt like it was vibrating slightly.

"where are we?" Sarah whispered

The Doctor was waving his sonic screw driver again the green glow casting creepy shadows over his lined face. "in orbit above earth" The Doctor whispered back.

Sarah didn't know what to think of that so said nothing. Just then they heard footsteps running down the corridor towards them. a group of about 10 men dressed in black with black helmets that covered their faces appeared pointing guns at them.

"on your knees! on your knees now" one of the men shouted waving his gun at them. The Doctor sank to his knees hands above his head so Sarah copied him. terror gripping her. if these were the men who took her son her hopes of finding his alive were slim. Then men pulled The Doctor and Sarah to their feet and marched them down the corridor.

They walked for about 20 minutes threw long dark corridors Sarah couldn't even try to keep track of where they were going her mind was solely on her son. He was only 18 months old still just a baby. Her heart broke and tears threatened to fall from her eyes but she couldn't let them she knew if she did they'd never stop.

They were lead to a large open room flooded with light. That made Sarah's eyes and head hurt after the dark corridors.

"Ah Doctor. I thought we'd see you soon enough"

A woman stood in the middle of the room inside a large circle design that was on the dark floor. she like everything else in this place was dressed in black only hers was a long floor length dress. her skin was pale white as if she'd never seen day light and her long black hair was tied up in a neat bun not a single hair out of place. suddenly Sarah remembered she was still in her jammies with her hair a mess and felt abit uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid i don't know who you are" The Doctor answered

"I am Father Teller" the woman announced opening her arms wide.
