The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

On Midsomer's Nightmare Pt. 3

Vodka and Cyrus reunited with the others, having found a map of the power plant, and nothing else. Having searched the opposite side of the main floor, they've come up with nothing but office supplies, left untouched.

Undeterred, Cyrus wanted to check other areas of the power plant, believing that if there's anything here, it's hidden somewhere in the deeper parts of the power plant, where nobody thought looking around.

He pushed them onward and they followed, wanting to check the first floor, and only the sound of their boots clanking against the grey flooring as they went up the winding staircase up to the first floor, where there's softly sickly pale light illuminating the grey hallway, the darkened office doors closed.

On Cyrus' command the group split up taking sections of the first floor with Theodore and Lila going towards the end of the opposite side of the first floor.

Enshrouded by the sickly pale light, gave everything almost a monochrome shade, with the drab vest Lila borrowed from Rasputin turning a dark shade of gray.

Rattling every doorknob as they walked down opposite sides of the hallway with the men up ahead checking the doorknobs on the other end, the two struggled finding a door that opened with ease, if they can't find doors that opened, they'll have to pick open every door.

Vodka joked they could've taken a direct approach, but Theodore respectfully declined, joke or not.

He seen enough horror movies with Lila that doing anything of the sort's resulting in bad consequences that resulted in things happening that he would very much appreciate not happening.

Rattling every doorknob possible, the two found nothing opened, up until the end near the second staircase leading down to the main floor when Lila managed to open one, flashing her flashlight into the darkened door way.

Inside, an ordinary office, untouched, not even a speck of dust, everything tidy, and the sight made Theodore and Lila look at each other with wearied looks, before Theodore unhappily tells her that they needed to check the room, they're in this to the end.

in perfect condition.

In the air, they smelled the distinct smell of a lit cigarette, fresh, and they ended up going inside the office, finding nobody inside, and there's no furniture big enough to hide anyone. Not even the desk's capable of hiding anybody, they're easily able to see under it, nobody hiding behind it.

It didn't look like anyone's been in the office for years, nothing out of place, and it's unsettling the two seeing how pristine the office looked compared to the ruins outside, with the smell of the cigarette still fresh on their noses.

The two broke off as they searched the office in corners, never too far from each other, as they walked around the office with furniture from roughly the late seventies, early eighties in their respected places.

On the Georgian peach colored desk, there's an unlit cigarette on the edge of the empty blue ceramic ashtray, bits of the tip burnt, but the rest intact, and yet there's no ash at the bottom of the ashtray. The cigarette having gone out before the broke down to that point.

Looking at the dark navy colored desk chair, it looked barely unused, remaining where it's placed since, and the only thing left on top the desk that they're able to see from a glance's the desk lamp, grey mat, and a black phone.

It's as though someone lit a cigarette and left it on the ashtray, without sitting down, without even staying in the office long, and its curios that the formerly lit cigarette didn't burn through the cartridge. It wasn't stamped out, the long cigarette remained perfect, just a lightly burnt tip.
