Purple Vortex [II]

The Idiot's Lantern Pt2:

"Gran? It's Tommy. It's all right, Gran. I've brought help." Tommy said once they had all made their way upstairs and stopped outside of a room, he opened the door and turned the lights on, and they saw an old woman standing in there with no eyes, no nose and no mouth. "Her face is completely gone." The Doctor said as Galaxy walked up to the woman and used her sonic key on her. "Scarcely an electrical impulse left. Almost like a complete neural shutdown, she's ticking over. Like her brain has been wiped clean." Galaxy said.

"What're we going to do? We can't feed her." Tommy said as he watched them but then the sudden sound of the front door being broken got their attention. "We've got company." Rose said. "It's them. They've come for her!" Rita panicked. "Quickly. What was she doing before this happened? Were was she? Tell me. Quickly, think!" The Doctor said. "I can't think! She doesn't leave the house! She was just..." Tommy was cut off when the burly men burst into the room.

"Hold on a minute. There are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me. One..." The Doctor was cut off when one of the men punched him in the face and Galaxy and Rose ran over to him. "Doctor." Rose said as the men throw a blanket over the old woman and take her out while Rose and Galaxy tried to wake the Doctor up. "Leave her alone! No!" Rita shouted. "Doctor, come on." Galaxy sighed. "Don't hurt her!" Rita continued to shout and Galaxy was only just able to avoid having the Doctor's head collide with hers when he suddenly sat up.

"Ah, hell of a right hook. Have to watch out for that." The Doctor said before getting up and pulling the girls up by the hand. "Don't fight it. Back inside." Mr Connolly said as he tried to keep his wife and son inside the house as the car drove away. "Rose, come on!" The Doctor shouted when he saw her not following him and Galaxy. "But Dad, they took her!" Tommy shouted. "Don't fight it, son. Don't fight it." "Rose, we're going to lose them again!" The Doctor shouted before sighing and grabbed Galaxy's hand and pulled her to the scooter, they both got on it and drove after the car.

Unlike the first, the Doctor was able to see how the car was able to get away from them when they came to the tail end of Operation Market Stall. "Oh, very good. Very good." He said before the two went off exploring the area.

'Found a small door.' Galaxy said to the Doctor and they went to the door and she opened it with her sonic key, when they enter the yard they see the two burly men padlock a wire door before walking off. They go over the padlock and the Doctor unlocked it so they could see what was in there and they saw large cages, when they open one they see it's filled with blank people, and Galaxy caught them clenching and unclenching their fists every now and then.

The Doctor pushed Galaxy so she was behind him as the people in the cage turned to his light on his torch as though draw to it when another, much bright light, shone making the Time Lords turn to it. "Stay were you are."

"Start from the beginning. Tell me everything you two know." "Well, for starters, I know you can't wrap your hand around your elbow and make your fingers meet." The Doctor said with a serious look on his face. "Don't get cleaver with me. You two were there today at Florizel Street, and now breaking into this establishment." "Well, the thing is Detective Inspector Bishop." Galaxy said. "How do you know my name?" Bishop asked her.

"Oh, because it's written inside your collar. Though I can't help by think, Detective Inspector, you're not exactly doing much detective inspecting, are you?" She asked him tilting her head. "I'm doing everything in my power." "All you're doing is grabbing those faceless people and hiding them as fast as you can. Don't tell me orders from above, hmm? Coronation Day. They eyes of the world are on London Town so any sort of problem just gets swept out of sight." The Doctor said.
