_________________________________________________________________________________________________
The taxi arrived at Donna’s flat in no time. Not much else was said after Donna’s slip that she wanted to become John’s lover. Relieved that they arrived, she exited out the door, while John settled the fare with the driver and grabbed his suitcase.
Fishing through her purse Donna looked for her keys, pulling them out she approached the entrance to the apartment building with John in her wake.
Moving quickly toward the lift, they entered in silence as she pushed the small button for the fifth floor penthouse suite. Donna turned toward the man next to her. “Listen John, about what I said earlier…”
He interrupted, “I understand, you have only known me for less than twenty-four hours. It would be foolish for us to jump right into something physical.”
“Yes, you are partially right, but I do, want to get to know you better. I don’t think a kiss once in a while would be too much.”
Moving closer, John caressed her arm and moved his lips closer to hers. A move that surprised even him, “Are you saying, you would like for me to kiss you again?”
“What I am saying is that I am attracted to you.” Her breathing hitched as John brought his lips closer to hers. “And yes I would like you to kiss me again.”
Smiling, John was about to grant her request when her cell rang out. Donna hurriedly answered, “Hello, Donna here. Oh Mr. Copperfield! Yes we are fine.” John pulled back and listened to the one sided conversation. “Oh hell! Yes, we are at my flat now. Okay, we will see you soon.” Hanging up the phone Donna spoke hurriedly, “Mr. Copperfield needs us back as soon as possible. Another planet has been attacked.”
“Was it attacked the same way as the other?” John asked trying to focus on the task at hand, rather than the beautiful woman that was standing before him.
“Yes it was,” Donna replied quickly as the doors of the lift opened up. Moving toward her door, she was about to put the key into the lock, when it flew open and three dark clothed figures barreled out, knocking her down in their haste as they ran toward the stairwell.
John was torn between chasing after the runaways, or helping Donna. He started to move to the stairs but stopped as Donna called out, “Leave them, John; they will be long gone before you can catch them.”
Knowing that she was correct, John grabbed Donna’s hands and helped her to her feet. Once she was stable he picked up her keys and his luggage and walked into the flat first, to see what type of damage was done, with Donna trailing closely behind.
The place was ransacked, the cushions were off the sofa, chairs knocked over, and Donna’s precious photos were all over the floor; the glass frames either cracked or broken. Bending down she started to remove the broken glass from her late husband’s picture with tears pooling in her eyes.
While Donna tended to her fallen photos, John continued to search the rest of the place to make sure that no one else was inside. Moving to the back of the flat he opened the bedroom door and was greeted by a timer counting down, on a make shift bomb. Taking a closer look at the LED readout fear coursed through his veins. There was only two minutes and forty-five seconds left.
Running back into the living room he grabbed Donna, roughly by the arm, “THERE IS A BOMB! WE HAVE TO GO NOW!”
Donna stuffed the picture of her husband into her jacket and grabbed John’s hand; together they ran out of the penthouse, stopping briefly to set off the fire alarm, before continuing down the stairwell.
As they reached the third floor the rest of the occupants of the building started to crowd the stairwell, effectively separating John and Donna from each other.
John looked for her unsuccessfully, but got distracted as he noticed a boy crying on the landing, separated from his family. Picking up the child he carried him the rest of the way down the stairs, hoping that fate would not be cruel to him, by taking Donna away from him just as he found her.
After being separated from John, Donna continued to move down the stairs calling out to the other people, “Hurry up! There is not much time! “Once she got to the bottom floor she held the door open for everyone to move through, scanning the crowd for John. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his messy brown hair come down the last flight of stairs with a child in his arms.
“John, I am so glad to see you! How much time do we have left?” she called out over the roar of the crowd.
“Not much Donna, now run!!”
They ran as far as they could, when the building exploded behind them. They and the child were knocked to the ground by the blast. John did his best to shield Donna and the boy from the fiery debris without to much success.
Recovering from the fall, Donna sat up on her elbows and moaned, “This is turning out to be a bloody hell of a day.” Turning toward John she asked, “Does this type of thing happen to you a lot?”
“Not to me Donna, but it happens to the Doctor all the time.” Sitting up, John helped the boy to his feet and asked the small child, “Are you okay?”
“I want my mummy,” the child responded in a small voice. John was about to give him a hug when a woman’s voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the call, John saw a woman running toward them.
“Matthew, Matthew!” Bending down the woman picked up her son and hugged him tightly. Turning to John she smiled through her tears, “Thank you so much for saving him.”
“You are very welcome,” John stated, smiling as he watched the united pair move away. A few moments later, he was almost knocked to the ground again, as Donna hugged him tightly.
Pulling back he looked at her closely. “Are you okay?” he asked as he wiped a smudge of soot from her face.
“I will mend, handsome. How about you?”
Looking back at the flaming building, John, for the first time truly felt his mortality. “I am not sure, Donna.”
Before she could inquire further a medic approached the two of them. “Do you two need any medical assistance?”
“No, we are fine,” Donna responded to the medic. Moving closer to John’s side she grabbed his hand and stared at the flames as well.
The flames started to blur as Donna felt the travesty of her loss, meekly she stated, “All my pictures, my memories are all gone.”
John embraced Donna, holding her close as she cried for her losses into his long black coat. Pulling back he brushed the tears from her cheeks. “Come on Donna, Mr. Copperfield is waiting for us. We will find out who did this to your home, I promise.”
Leading her away from the chaos he hailed a taxi and helped her in. After giving the address to the driver, he held Donna close to his side for the duration of the trip hoping that his closeness would give her the strength she would need once they got back to the Copperfield foundation.
They arrived, exhausted and dirty. Ascending to the top floor they were greeted by an astonished Jack, “What the hell happened to you two?”
Leading Donna to the sofa, John didn’t answer till he poured two drinks from the well-stocked bar, sitting next to Donna he handed her one of the glasses.
Jack watched and waited till they both finished their drinks, before inquiring further, “I am guessing that the evening was kind of bad?”
Donna was the first to reply; standing up she approached Jack allowing her frustration to come to the surface, “Kind of bad! No Jack, this day was bloody awful. I first had to deal with a temperamental blonde, that doesn’t understand that I am not the Donna that she knows, and then I had to deal with her again at John’s place, and to top it all off my flat was blown to smithereens, because some black clad bad super ninjas decided that they want me dead.”
Moving closer, she continued her ranting, while poking Jack in the chest. “You asked me to get John here, so I did. Then you asked me to go with John to help him do wherever he has to do to get help, and once again I said ‘yes’. But you NEVER asked me if I wanted to be drawn into some sort of cloak and dagger escapade with other covert organizations.”
Holding up his hands, Jack backed away. “Listen Donna, I am sorry that this happened to you. I didn’t think…”
Interrupting her boss Donna roared, “That is right, you didn’t think and because you didn’t I am out of here. I don’t want any more of my memories taken from me because you didn’t think!” Turning away she walked purposely toward the exit.
John immediately stood up and called after her, “Donna, please come back!” The slamming of the door drowned out the rest of his statement, “I need you.”
Turning to face the American, John huffed impatiently, “What is it with you? Did you wake up this morning and say to yourself, ‘I am only going to tell Donna what I want her to know’?”
“Yes, to be honest, I did John,” Jack replied haughtily.
Anger bubbled within John’s chest; taking two quick steps, he punched Jack across his jaw, effectively knocking him to the floor. Leaning over him, John hissed, “Maybe you should think things through a bit more.” Moving away, John headed for the door.
Rubbing his face, Jack stood up. “Maybe I should, but the fact of the matter is, there is a spaceship out there destroying civilizations and the only person that can help is the Doctor, and I need you to find him. If you walk out that door Earth will be next.”
Stopping in his tracks, John took a deep breath; pulling out his journal, he tore the scenery pictures out that he drew from his vision and placed them on the table. “Find out where this location is. Find a flight; I will be back in the morning to get the information.”
“I will have my personal plane waiting for your return, with a trusted pilot, ” Jack responded, glad that John was still going to help find the Doctor.
“You do that, and for now on I will be in charge of all the details on this mission. I want all the information that you have, including any of the other organizations that might be taking an interest in the situation. Is that understood?
Giving a salute to John, Jack responded, “Yes, I understand.”
“Good, now I am going to see if I can find Donna, and convince her to come with me. I think that I am going to need her help.” Reaching for the door handle, John continued before exiting, “and Jack, never salute me again.”
Jack smiled as he answered, his voice echoing in the empty room, “Don’t count on it, John Noble.”
