The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

The Lady & the Giant Pt. 8

Chapter Text

"Al, what's going on?" Theodore hears the TARDIS panicking as he watched the conversation between Jimmy and Kira unfold.

In between breathing heavily, Al quickly says that Annika's nowhere in the house, and he found out what she done to the children she kidnapped. He didn't know what it was until he poked around the house undetected.

Going by what Theodore told him about Kira, he found that Annika hidden large number of needles.

Annika cleaned them, but he found enough in the pinhole of the needle to garner a sample for analysis and he found it's anesthesia mixed with blood, which he concluded as Kira's since it's recent.

Snooping led Al into finding a medical journal, some of which he couldn't read off the top of his head because it's in an old language he doesn't have anything in his databases referencing.

It took time, but he managed to make out one of the newer entries as Annika loathing that a child she taken from the village wasn't reacting to the injections like she hoped.

The more Al investigated it, he found that Annika purposely let those children die of their ailments when she found that they didn't show reactions. She gone after older children, but went nowhere, so she's on Kira, and it sounds like Kira showed the reactions she's been hoping for.

"What does that mean?" Theodore wanted answers on what Annika's planning and Al replied that he doesn't know, he couldn't figure that out because Annika never wrote anything down about what those injections were, if she did, Al can't translate them.

He can't find the substances she's using, either, and he's looked every corner of the house that he's able, but came up with nothing.

No idea if she's making whatever she's injecting into those children and Kira only when she has them or what, Al can't find an answer, and he even far as going into her master bedroom.

Nothing.

Doesn't mean he came up empty completely, he went back to the medical journal out of desperation, and found out what Annika did to the banker and his family.

She tried the injections with them, after kidnapping and trapping them in the basement, one night after they gone to bed.

The father suffered from an acute allergic reaction hours after the injection, dying from it. The mother didn't show any reactions, so Annika killed her, deeming her a failure. Their children ended up dying from the injection within moments, their little bodies incapable of handling whatever Annika injected them with, they died after their parents.

What happened to those bodies, Al looked for the obvious place, the boiler, found a piece of bone in the soot. Annika cut them up and burnt the bodies.

"What's she doing, Al?" Theodore pointedly asks him what Annika's attempting with these odd experiments.

The bedeviled TARDIS replied that he's not sure, but he doubted Annika would've told them anything, even if they managed tying her up.

"If she's trying to kill humans with experiments, then she's doing it badly, other than that, I can't understand why. Uh, changing the topic, the other thing. You gotta get Jimmy out of there, she left the house!" Al changed subject instantly as he tells Theodore that he needed everyone out of there immediately.

Annika left the house.

Al suspected she left sometime after he played Kira's part to the hilt, going into her bedroom as Annika commanded, then when that was done, he snooped around the house.
