Kitty finally managed to break free from Adams rough grip, grabbing his arm and twisting it as she pulled away making him drop the small knive he threatened her with, she batted it away with her foot.

The light back here was a sickly glowing blue and it made everything seem strangely dream like and it was humid, humid and hot-like someone had left a very hot shower running for quite a while.

She made a dash for the door but was yanked back with a shout of pain by Adam grabbing her hair.

"Get off of me!" she growled trying to free herself as he pulled her head back to make her look at him. In this light he looked pale and clammy, almost sickly.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Let me GO!" she tried to sound unafraid

"Oh sure! of course, I'll just let you run back to your precious Doctor." he sneered sarcastically. "No, I finally have a use for you."

she shouted in pain again as he yanked her to follow him deeper into the storage room-it was a large open room divided only by a few shelving units and piles of stacked boxes. The eerie blue light made her squint and feel disorientated. There was an odd smell-like wet grass and warm tarmac combined with burnt toast and as he pulled her along she suddenly realised her feet were slipping and sliding along the floor. She looked down and saw the floor was covered with a clear  thick jelly like goo illuminated by the blue light. A long thin dribble of the mucus like stuff landed in front of her from the ceiling as Adam pulled her around a shelving unit. He pushed her down onto the floor, she felt the warm goo seep through her jeans and her hands slipped as she caught herself so she landed chest down in the sticky mucus. She  turned to face Adam and let out a gasp as she saw what framed his blue silhouette.

Above them Hundreds and hundreds of large gooey rugby ball shaped capsules pulsated silently.

They covered the ceiling and lay at odd angles on the walls. They looked like blue glowing jelly with a fat, ugly wrinkly larva suspended inside. In the middle stood the largest of them which was surrounded by lamps with blue filters. The light shining through the middle illuminating a large curled figure with long spiderlike legs stretched out before it and a wasp like abdomen as the dark creature occasionally shifted inside.

“What.............. the hell?” Kitty whispered transfixed to the sight before her.

“Yulpee eggs. 1,000 Yulpee eggs-including a queen! All ready to hatch.” Adam replied proudly.

“What the hell are 'Yulpee'?” she asked glancing uncertainly around at the eggs as they seemed to shudder in unison.

“Oh I would explain but what is the point?” Adam said as he slyly picked up a heavy torch lying on the side of a gooey worktop “You’ll find out soon enough.” He added as he struck her on the side of the head."You will make a fine first meal for the ne queen" he added as he dragged the girl by the wrists toward the largest egg.

"Let me out! Judoon, Listen to me! You know who I am! I haven’t done anything! Let me out, I’m not going to run! weeeell I am, but only because I need to stop the real criminal!” The doctor shouted from his precarious position inside a crudely made circular prison, made out of old crates and wire mesh with a tyre or two thrown in for good measure.

His hands tied a bit too tightly together behind his back with thick wires, his feet tied together with his tie. He stopped, listening for the Judoon for a moment.

Where was it? Had it realised it had arrested the wrong person?

No, a Judoon would never admit a mistake.

He struggled for a moment, jiggling his feet in an almost manic way and the tie slipped off from around his ankles.

“I knew I liked that tie.” He mused to himself as he tried to stand up.
