The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Shadow of A Doubt Pt. 6

Reading the journals in spurts while they're searching the room, finding nothing but the cameras in the scrawls, set on different timers accordingly, pointed at specific areas, Theodore sees how Johnathan Bradley sought to continue his attempts at peeking through the negative zone, bringing out of it, the shadow people.

How he brought them out of the negative zone, Theodore didn't find it, but wouldn't be surprised if Johnathan Bradley held it in another part of the building, a buffer, this was where he witnessed the negative zone in its intended glory, this location he picked out, not for the isolation, but the ideal spot for it, as Johnathan Bradley said in his notes that some areas are "thinner" than others, meaning there's less buffer between the zones.

"Still sounds like he's crazy," Lila commented that regardless of the supposed achievements that Johnathan Bradley managed to succeed since he moved into his new profession, if Lila could even begin to call it that, he still sounded like someone who watched one too many movies and had a little too much to drink to go with it.

Maybe illegal drugs, who's to know?

Theodore would've agreed with her assessment, but with what they saw, Johnathan Bradley did what he set out to do, however it gained another question for them to solve.

What will Johnathan Bradley do with these shadows he stolen from the negative zone?

"Wait... call me crazy, but you don't think that it's possible that the person impersonating Al's... well... you know..." Lila haphazardly asked Theodore that if it's possible the unsightly voice that Theodore heard wasn't one of the shadows.

That of the universe, seemingly reaching out to him, knowing that he's telepathic, and the more Theodore thought about it, he wouldn't been surprised at all that the universe wasn't pleased with Johnathan Bradley's intrusion into the negative zone.

Though, seemingly threatening him for something he wasn't responsible for isn't called for, he and Lila didn't know what was going on until now.

Instinctively as he heard it, Theodore grabbed Lila by her waist, pulled her towards the unlit corner of the lab, the loud booming from the shotgun piercing the silence, and Theodore sees an outline of a small shadow, panicking as it ran across the walls, away from the sounds of the shotgun.

Hidden, Theodore overhears the sound of footsteps and sharp breaths as someone fumbled around, looking around.

It's Johnathan Bradley, unsurprisingly, with a shotgun, in his laboratory.

"Where are you?" Theodore heard the crackly voice of Johnathan Bradley, reloading his shotgun as he pursued the shadow.

Guess that answered another question they had about him, he's completely cracked from insanity, at least what Theodore thinks.

Holding Lila close to him tightly, Theodore listened to Johnathan Bradley as he carefully walked around his laboratory, looking for the shadow.

Chewing on his inner lip, Theodore thinks, as he does, his icy blue eyes caught sight of movement beside him, and when his slightly turned his head, he sees the shadowy child knelt beside him, hiding with them from the lurching Johnathan Bradley.

Pondering before seeing how the man's closer to their hiding spots, Theodore then threw his voice to ward the man away, and to his credit, it worked, but having his hearing partially distorted briefly when Johnathan Bradley set off the shotgun near them didn't help.

Lila nearly leapt from the shotgun going off near them, Theodore held her tightly as he held her close, as he sees the man hurrying towards where Theodore threw his voice, and then the man decided to turn on a light.
