The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Shadow of A Doubt Pt. 4

Fleeing through the darkened hallway from the shadowy dogs as they silently howled, only their pattering signaled their encroaching while Theodore and Lila kept their distance from the shadowy beasts as they followed them.

Using the torch is the only way for them to know where the dogs were, but it's not good for figuring out how to stop them, much less stun them, like Al said, they weren't too fond of the light shining on them.

Doubted throwing something at the shadows did anything and going by the fact he touched a shadowy child, that the shadowy dogs can harm them, as insane as it may sound to people.

How there's shadowy dogs in the mix, well, Theodore's pondering that himself, but it's a sign, that much he knows, and he'll work out the details once he and Lila reach a safe room, when that'll be, it's too soon to say.

Struggling, the two lucked out finding one of the few, if not only, lit rooms in the entire building, bright enough that shadows couldn't touch them, and it warded off the pursuing shadowy dogs that gave up once they saw the bright light, turning away, before disappearing into the darkness behind.

Likely, in wait for the two to step out of the lit room, at any point to pursue them once more.

Her hands on her knees as she's coughing while catching her breath, Lila remarked that of all things she expected to happen to her since she ended up pushed into the job, chased by shadow dogs wouldn't come up in her list, at all.

Inevitably, that changed.

Surveying the room, they barely ran into and shut the door behind them because of course, they're not risking opening themselves up to attacks, Theodore sees they're in a room that weren't like the others.

Not an office, cell, research lab, but rather, a lit room with nothing inside it.

There's a ceiling light, with bulbs in a circular pattern, keeping everything enveloped by light.

No corner or crevice escaped the light, not intensely bright as a sun, but enough to ward off the shadows.

It's questionable how this room had full-power, while the rest of the building's either shrouded by darkness or barely lit, at all.

With little they knew about Johnathan Bradley, Theodore suspected producing his own electricity wouldn't be out of the question in the disavowed researcher's attempts at keeping his efforts a secret.

Shadowy dogs led Theodore in believing that Johnathan Bradley knew what he was getting into with his bizarre research that this room's presumably a way for him to keep his research subjects from reaching him.

Though, it made Theodore wonder what happened that led much of the building left in the darkness and the rest in a dimly lit matter, which Lila suggested that his subjects gotten fed up with his work, and sought to ruin him, if not kill him outright.

Given they haven't found Johnathan Bradley or what remained of him, the latter's looking possible.

Don't think he could've escaped from his shadowy subjects if he tried in the state the building's in.

"Very true, my dear Watson," Theodore noted that Johnathan Bradley would've accounted for a chance that his pursuit in the research for shadow people (and dogs, apparently) resulted in a rebellion, well, in theory.

Not every scientist or researcher's smart in some aspects.

Some great at nuclear physics, some terrible at closing the cabinet doors.

The problem came when Theodore wondered what else Johnathan Bradley did to avoid the wraith of his creations.

Remembering the camera, Lila wondered if it had anything to do with it, but since it was destroyed, they'd never know for sure, unless Johnathan Bradley played it smart and made more.
