All the Time in the World - The Doctor {2}

The Age of Steel

The Doctor pointed the recharging TARDIS power cell at the Cybermen, who get bent backwards then atomised by the golden energy. "What the hell was that?" Ricky asked. "We'll have that instead. Run!" The Doctor said. A van pulled up and honked. "Everybody, in!" The woman inside said. Pete went to go back to the house but The Doctor stopped him.

"I've got to go back. My wife's in there," Pete said. "Anyone inside that house is dead. If you want to help, then don't let her die for nothing. You've got to come with us right now," The Doctor said. Pete ran to the van with Rose. Jennifer stood there, staring at the house. "Jennifer, she's not your mother," The Doctor said. "I know," Jennifer said. "Come on," The Doctor said and he took her to the van. When everyone was in the van, the woman, Mrs. Moore drove off.

"What was that thing?" Ricky asked. "Little bit of technology from my home," The Doctor said. "It's stopped glowing. Has it run out?" Mickey asked. "It's on a revitalising loop. It'll charge back up in about four hours," The Doctor said. "Right. So, we don't have a weapon anymore," Ricky said.

"Yeah, we've got weapons. Might not be one of those metal things, but they're good enough for men like him," Jake said. "Leave him alone. What's he done wrong?" Rose asked. "Oh, you know, just laid a trap that's wiped out the Government and left Lumic in charge," Jake said. Rose clenched her fist but Jennifer grabbed her hand as to calming her down.

"If I was part of all that, do you think I'd leave my wife inside?" Pete said. "Maybe your plan went wrong. Still gives us the right to execute you, though," Ricky said. This time, it's was Jennifer's torn to clenched her fist. The Doctor grabbed it. He slowly began to stroke her hand. Jennifer calmed down.

"Talk about executions, you'll make me your enemy. And take some really good advice. You don't want to do that," The Doctor said. "All the same, we have evidence that says Pete Tyler's been working for Lumic since twenty point five," Ricky said. Rose and Jennifer looked at Pete. "Is that true?" Jennifer asked. "Tell them, Mrs M," Ricky said.

"We've got a government mole who feeds us information. Lumic's private files, his South American operations, the lot. Secret broadcasts twice a week," Mrs. Moore said. "Broadcast from Gemini?" Pete asked. "And how do you know that?" Ricky asked. "I'm Gemini. That's me," Pete said. "Yeah, well you would say that," Ricky said.

"Encrypted wavelength six five seven using binary nine. That's the only reason I was working for Lumic. To get information. I thought I was broadcasting to the Security Services. What do I get? Scooby Doo and his gang. They've even got the van," Pete said. "No, no, no. But the Preachers know what they're doing. Ricky said he's London's Most Wanted," Mickey said.

"Yeah, that's not exactl --" Ricky said. "Not exactly what?" Mickey asked. "I'm London's Most Wanted for parking tickets," Ricky said. "Great," Pete said. "Yeah, they were deliberate. I was fighting the system. Park anywhere, that's me," Ricky said. "Good policy. I do much the same. I'm the Doctor, by the way, if anyone's interested," The Doctor said. "I'm Jennifer," Jennifer said. "I'm her sister," Rose said.

"Jennifer and Rose, that's the names of my dogs. Still, at least I've got the catering staff on my side," Pete said. "We knew you weren't a traitor," Rose said. "Why is that, then?" Pete asked. "We just did," Jennifer said. "They took my wife," Pete said. "She might still be alive," Rose said. "That's even worse. Because that's what Lumic does. He takes the living and he turns them into those machines," Pete said.

"Cybermen. They're called Cybermen. And I'd take those ear pods off, if I were you. You never know. Lumic could be listening," The Doctor said. Pete gave The Doctor the ear pods. The Doctor zapped them with the Sonic Screwdriver. "But he's overreached himself. He's still just a businessman. He's assassinated the President. All we need to do is get to the city and inform the authorities. Because I promise you, this ends tonight," The Doctor said.
