Fear Her - Three

"Yeah."

"Hot fresh tar." She beamed at Rita.

"Blended to a secret council recipe."

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Rita raised a brow, Rose looked at her smugly smiling, they figured it out both nodded then sprinted towards Kel's council van.

"I don't keep it in the van!" he shouted thinking they wanted his secret recipy as if they cared about it. Rita threw open the door and jumped inside then began to pass items to Rose, she threw them on the floor. "Hey, that's a council van. Out." He ordered. Rita found a pickaxe and beamed.

"Don't know why there is one of these in here but I don't care!" She laughed jumping out the van and handing it to Rose before grabbing another identical to the first. "This is more like it, actually we only need one" She threw it back in the van and ran off back to Rose following her towards the filled in pothole passing Kel who was storming up to the van.

Rose then held the axe over her shoulder ready to swing. "Whoa, wait, wait, wait. You just removed a council axe from a council van." He started to rant on. "Put it back. No, don't, wait. Put the axe back in the van. That's my van. Give me the axe. No! Wait! No!" He pleaded as Rose then swung the axe causing it to collide with the pothole.

"No! You, stop!" He jumped in the way before she swung again. "You just took a council axe from a council van and now you're digging up a council road! I'm reporting you to the council!"

Rita took the axe from Rose and was about to swing. "In a minute there won't be a councilman to own a council van to report anything to the bloody council!" She shouted. "Now get out of my way!" He stuttered Rita then swung the axe and he jumped out the way before it hit the pothole again, she repeated this a few times before crouching down to the ground with Rose on her hands and knees moving the rubble out of the way. Rose found the tiny pod just like the Doctor had described to them earlier.

"It went for the hottest thing in the street. Your tar." Rose looked up holding the ship between her hands like it was the most precious thing.

"What is it?" Kel asked.

"It's a spaceship."

"Isolus spaceship to be exact" Rita informed him not that he had any idea what that meant.

"Not a council spaceship, I'm afraid. Come on Rita!" Rose ran to Trish's house spaceship in hand with Rita behind her, they burst into the living room. "I've found it! I don't know what to do with it, but maybe the Isolus will just hop on board." Trish was sitting watching the TV showing the Olympic stadium. "Hang on, I told you not to leave her."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Rita shouted then watched the TV seeing all of the people occupying the stands and everything in the area vanish in a blink of an eye.

Kel followed starting to rant about his precious council road again. "I don't care if you've got Snow White and the Seven Dwarves buried under there, you don't go digging up-"

"Shut up and look!" Rose pointed to the TV

"The crowd has vanished! Er, they're gone. Everyone has gone. Thousands of people have just gone. Right in front of my eyes. It's impossible. Bob, can we join you in the box? Bob? Not you too, Bob?" The man on the TV spoke.

"The stadium won't be enough. The Isolus has four billion brothers and sisters." Rose stated.

They sprinted up the stairs and Rose handed the pod to Rita then attempted to open the door.

"Chloe? Chloe, it's Rose!" She shouted, violently trying to open the door somehow. "Open the door!" She demanded. "We found your ship. We can send you home." Rose told the Isolus begging for it to open the door.
