The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

A Bridge Undone

It's been a few weeks after the incident involving the female variants that've been dubbed Sabbek, by the mysterious Lovett.

A difficult one, becoming unwilling accomplices, allowing the Sabbek taking their chosen quarry before they're scared off by the bombs used by Theodore and Lovett.

It was not a task both men took lightly and Theodore aimlessly wondered, grimaced, that he chosen wrong, that he could've saved those people, but Lovett told him repeatedly that they had no choice.

There was nothing they could've done for them, without risking everyone else, but now with the bombs exploding in their faces, they'll stay away, but at what cost?

Despite Theodore attempts, he never found Lovett after he disappeared that night.

The files they found, showed that whoever this Lovett was, he wasn't the patient that went into the hospital.

Suppose the administration falsified records, thinking nobody would've looked too closely.

Lovett remained elusive to this day and seemingly knew things that nobody else could've known, giving rise to a theory that he's one of the many people in the role of the Doctor.

Curious why he didn't say he was, he knew by then that Theodore was one, too, but he chose not to say it, making him even more mysterious.

The trove of information he garnered from his adventures' invaluable, however, helping them understand their new adversaries, Sabbek and the Drekker.

The fear of encountering them again, still strong.

Despite their best efforts, as Al feared before, happened yet again, they're unable to defeat the conspiracy that ravaged societies for decades.

Everyone involved with the coverups in the mental hospital, as colourfully said by Al, all iced by those above who sought protecting their secrets.

Dr. Hans saw no prison for his part, he transferred from the mental hospital despite attempts proving his crimes and ended up dead after a driving accident involving a sleepy lorry driver hitting him precisely.

Despite attempts, police hadn't located Tommy or Trudy, and Mark's murder ended up marked as an animal attack, like the others before him.

His body went unclaimed, many attempts at turning it over to a family member fell apart, that it went through cremation, and his belongings went through moratorium before finally discarded and or sold.

The rest of the patients, having no recollection of that night due to the sedation, went through arbitration before they're sent to different hospitals all over the country, where they remained to this day.

Hawthorne Mental Hospital closed its doors not long after the incident occurred, likely because people in power realized they've been found, and threw it under the bus as they done before.

Orderlies went through NDAs and released, nobody said a word, and likely won't.

Doctors and nurses threatened with lawsuits should they break their oath and took a vow of silence out of fear for themselves and their loved ones.

Once more, the conspiracy lived on, but Lovett vowed that he'll end the conspiracy, preventing more innocent lives lost to these creatures that once were human.

Once his nerves steadied and he went back to his normal routine, Theodore kept watchful eyes, in case the species reared their ugly heads again, this time in their world.

Al hadn't found anything indicating there's flocks of them lingering around, but Theodore knew it was only a matter of time, maybe he's wrong, this time, and they won't come through those rifts, as they've before.
