The Alternate Series 6: Episode 2: "SILENT SCREAMS"

OK folks, here is the second story in this alternate Doctor Who series 6. This will be posted in synopsis form:

EPISODE 2: SILENT SCREAMS

The TARDIS lands in London in a side street near to Piccadilly Circus. Rory and Amy bounce out of the door laughing.
"Hey thanks Doctor for bringing us here. I've been meaning to get Rory to take me to see Mamma Mia for ages" Amy shouts back. Amy and Rory then stride off arm in arm through Piccadilly towards the threatre.
"Well Nick, if you like we could pay a visit to the National Gallery while they're at the theatre" the Doctor says. Nick smiles:
"Actually Doctor, I hope you don't mind but I'd rather go to Oxford Street to do a bit of shopping. I need to buy my mother a birthday present." The Doctor laughs:
"Ok. Thats fine."
They leave the TARDIS and walk down Shaftsbury Avenue, turning left into Wardour Street.
"So what are you thinking of getting your mother?" The Doctor asks.
"She loves Italian ceramics. I was thinking of something in that vein" Nick replies.

As they pass through Soho, the Doctor notices an amusement arcade:
"Oh an amusement arcade. I've haven't been in one of those for decades" the Doctor exclaims laughing. He rushes in. Nick follows him bemused:
"Must we do this Doctor....."
However the Doctor is already putting money into a space-themed game. Nick goes over to an attendant, a large coloured man in a suit:
"It there anywhere in here that I can get a coffee while I wait for my friend to get bored with that game?" The man gestures to a dingy little cafe section.
"Over there dude".
Meanwhile the Doctor is embroiled with his game, laughing and shouting. As he does so he is approached by two youths:
"Ere mate, you lookin' for company" one of them asks. The Doctor grins:
"Only one person at a time can play on this one". The youth scowls:
"No company. Private company like. I'm Loz and this ere is Eddie. We're dilly boys. On the game". The Doctor looks up surprised.
"Oh I see. You're rent boys. How exotic. Genuine London rent boys."
"So you lookin' for it or not mate. Its £20 for a quickie hand job in the bog over there or £100 gets you the full service". The Doctor frowns:
"Look you really should be careful you know. It can be extremely dangerous what you do. Let me buy you a decent meal each and then have a proper chat."
The Doctor puts his arm on the youths' shoulders and leads them in the direction of the cafe. As he does so, two men in suits emerge from a dimly lit corner and grab the Doctor:
"Ere its the filth. Lets split" Loz shouts and the youths run off, knocking over an elderly man.
"You're under arrest for soliciting in a public place" one of the policemen shouts.
"Officer, I assure you that this is a misunderstanding......"
"Shut it nonce. And if you're the one responsible for all these murders then we're gonna get to the truth". They frogmarch the Doctor out of the door.

Meanwhile, Nick is sat in the far side of the cafe sipping a coffee. He vaguely hears a commotion however the noise is swamped by that of a plasma screen showing music videos. He winces at the sight of Rihanna on the screen as he cannot abide chart music. The coffee tastes disgusting so he leaves half of it and goes back to find the Doctor. Nick looks around and the burly attendant approaches:
"If you're lookin' for your mate, e's just been arrested. You'd better sling your hook before they come back. All the trade will 'ave gone now." Nick looks aghast:
"What? Why has he been arrested?"
"Oh come on don't play the innocent with me mate. Its these murders, its got the filth 'avin a crack down. I makes far more dough out of the renters than out of these machines an now its all goin' to pot. All cause of these murders. We've been crawlin' with filth for weeks."
"What murders?" Nick asks.
"Look mate you know damn well that six renters have been full-stopped in the past month. Horrible how they're all found with 'earts an livers an stuff missing. The filth are so desperate you'd better watch out they don't fit your mate up for the whole thing." Nick is shocked:
"Oh my God! The Doctor could end up on a murder charge...................."

.................... to be continued.

OK, here is the next part of this gripping Doctor Who adventure folks:

"SILENT SCREAMS" Part 2

Nick rushes through the bustling streets towards Soho police station, having texted Amy and Rory. As he arrives, he sees them jumping out of a taxi:
"What the hell is going on Nick? The show had just begun!" Amy shouts.
"The Doctor has been arrested and could be charged with murder" he replies. They all rush into the police station and are surprised to see the Doctor being led out of the interview room:
".... and once again we're very sorry for any inconvenience sir..." a policeman says.
"He's being released.. er why?" Amy whispers to Rory.The Doctor walks over to them and quickly holds up his psychic paper:
".. they think I'm a detective inspector from Scotland Yard" he whispers. The policeman walks over:
"Its lucky you showed us your ID before the lads gave you a pasting sir. We thought you were a prize nonce." The Doctor frowned:
"I was working undercover" he states:
"I know sir but even so It might be an idea to let the station know in advance in future. The lads are all very edgy what with these 'ere murders." The Doctor smiles:
"What's your name?"
"Brian sir. Sgt Brian Smith."
"Well Brian, could you tell us a little more about the murders? Me and my colleagues here are keen to see whether the Soho police have been kept fully in the loop with the latest developments".
"Well as you know Sir, they all began a month ago. A renter called Bobby O'Fennell was found in the alley behind Tile Street with his heart and lungs removed. Horrible it were. Yet the pathologist said that it were the work of a professional. Then two days later Jimmy Bates was found in the gents near Leicester Square with his liver removed. Made my mate Dave 'ave a breakdown it did, the sight of it. Since then theres been another four. An we know about the letters."
"What letters?" The Doctor asks:
"Oh come on sir. You lot at Scotland Yard informed us yesterday. Theres been three letters sent to your HQ signed 'Jack the Ripper' an gloatin' about it all........" The Doctor looks at him sternly:
"Those two youths who ran off, Loz and Eddie. Where are they likely to reside?" Brian laughs:
"Oh those two, they lives in an 'ostel up Bear Lane. You can't miss it, its a big dilapidated block of flats owned by some property developer".


Later the Doctor and the others are sitting in a little park off Wardour Street.
"So some copycat Jack the Ripper murderer is about killing rent boys. Its awful but nothing to do with us" Amy says. The Doctor frowns:
"My dear Amy, this has everything to do with us. For one thing we are ideally placed to help the police investigate and I feel a sense of ethical obligation. But also because of what I saw in the police station."
"What?" Amy asks.
"Before I showed them the psychic paper, one of them flung some photos of the dead victims in front of me. To shock me into confessing probably. Those organs were indeed removed professionally, but not with human technology. Those wounds suggested something far more advanced than early 21st century earth. Come on!"
The Doctor leaps up and starts to walk.
"Where are we going Doctor?" Nick asks.
"To Bear Lane to find that hostel. I want to get the boys' take on whats been going on".

They arrive at Bear Lane, a run down street with car tyres in front yards, uncollected bin bags and used syringes in the gutter. At the end is a massive 1960s block of flats, run down with graffiti and broken windows. The Doctor tries a door which is locked and rings a buzzer. The door opens and a youth of about nineteen with long hair opens it:
"Yeah?"
"I'm the Doctor and this is Amy, Rory and Nick. Whats your name? And may we come in please?"
"Stevie .You like from the council or summat?"
"No Stevie, we're friends of Loz and Eddie."
"Oh you're punters like. *looking puzzled* You 'ere for a group sesh? Most punters want that kind a stuff in their own gaffs". Amy steps forward:
"Er no Stevie we just want to talk. Can we come in?" She asks. Stevie steps to one side and lets them in. He leads them down a dingy corridor which smells of mould to a grubby little canteen where a massively obese woman in her early thirties is wiping tables with a dirty brown cloth.
"Ere like fix us a coffee Annie. An' one each for these an all". The woman scowls:
"¤¤¤¤ off Stevie, it ain't tea for another hour."
"Oh come on Annie. We like got visitors".
"Alright but if the boss finds out we'll both be in for it". The woman shuffles towards a grubby kitchen and puts a kettle on. Stevie turns to the Doctor:
"Thats Gang Bang Annie. She's allus miserable. She's our cook like". The Doctor frowns:
"Who is this boss she mentioned?" Stevie looks nervous:
"She means Huscroft. Sir Nigel Huscroft the owner of this 'ostel. He like runs 'omeless charities. But I ain't supposed to talk about him. If you cross him 'e arranges to 'ave you beaten up".
"He sounds an unsavoury man to me. Why does he help the homeless if he then threatens them with acts of violence" Nick asks. Stevie scowls at him:
"You green as a cabbage or summat? 'E gets money off the council to run these places. Pockets most of it 'imself. We get fed on stuff they chuck out of supermarkets when its gone over its dates. You better not say I said owt like. Plus 'e gets freebies from us renters if you get me". The Doctor is annoyed:
"This is all very disturbing and indicative of government failure." Gang Bang Annie returns with a grubby tray of cracked mugs:
"Ere get this down yer necks" she states, slamming it down so coffee spills .
"What do you know about these murders Stevie?" The Doctor asks. Stevie jumps up:
"Ere you ain't from the filth are ya?"
"No. We are private investigators working for the Independent newspaper. Anything you tell us will go no further". Stevie sits back down:
"Look, if I tell you summat you like promise you won't tell the filth?"
"We promise" the Doctor states.
"It ain't 'uman. They all think I'm imaginin' it cause I smokes too much weed. Last week it nearly got me. I'd picked up a punter in Funland arcade and was goin' to his gaff in Rupert Street. Anyhow we gets to an alleyway an' he like says lets to it 'ere. Then he starts to look weird, 'e was changin shape. 'is features melted on his face an his arm twuns into a metallic saw...... it wern't human..................


...............to be continued.

OK folks, here is part three of this major Doctor Who adventure:

"SILENT SCREAMS": Part 3

The Doctor thinks carefully for a moment with his head in his hands:
"Have any of the other lads had a similar encounter with this thing?" he asks.
"Yeah. Loz was the first to go on about it. We all thought he'd done too much weed or summat. He recons he got away like I did by beltin' off as soon as 'e seen the thing change".
"I think we should interview Loz. Is he around?" the Doctor asks. Stevie gets up and leads the way through the dingy corridor and up some stairs to the flats upstairs. Several youths are lolling around in the corridor smoking. They stare at the TARDIS crew through sunken eyes. Stevie bangs on a door:
"Loz, Eddie? You in there?" The door opens and Loz stands there looking puzzled. He is a slight youth with dyed blond hair. He looks at the Doctor:
"Ere you're that bloke from Funland. Ow you find us? You after the full service?"
"No!" the Doctor replies firmly.
"What you want Eddie? He ain't ere , e's wiv a regular".
"No, I mean't I'm here on an investigation. These are my colleagues and we would like to know about your experience with the man who changed shape. We are not the police I assure you." Loz stares suspiciously:
"It were ¤¤¤¤ing weird like. He like 'ad a a saw thing for a 'and an came at me wiv it. His face just melted into a featureless white ball. It was in the alley off Tile Street. I chucked a bottle at 'im an split. He were dark haired an good lookin'. I thought I was lucky as 'e seemed ike he were better off than the average punter. Would treat me like."

Later the Doctor and the others return to the canteen to discuss their next move. The hostel residents start to arrive for the evening meal and Gang Bang Annie brings out a massive rusty tea urn. She stomps back into the kitchen and returns with a huge metal pan full of baked beans. She is smoking and as she puts the pan down the ash at the end of her cigarette falls into the beans. Amy winces:
"This place is disgusting. How on earth did that woman get a job here?" she asks. Stevie grins:
"Ere Annie ain't too bad. When she ain't on a booze bender. Er 'usband used to knock 'er about so she knifed 'im. After she'd done time for manslaughter she went on the game up Thamesmead. But she found it 'ard gettin' punters due to her weight so she did gang bangs on the cheap. Then Huscroft gave 'er this job as she knows ow to get the food cheap. She 'as a deal goin with some of her mates who work in supermarkets." Stevie replies. Annie returns with an old trolley full of loaves of stale looking bread which she tosses onto the tables:
"Right, get these down yer necks" she says. The youths laugh:
"Ere Annie, you puts Gordon Ramsay to shame" Loz shouts. Annie waves a spatula dripping with beans at him:
"Less of your ¤¤¤¤ing lip or you'll get no grub tomorrer". As she speaks, an emaciated man in his late forties limps in carrying a bucket and mop which he flings down before scooping himself a bowl of beans.
"Who is the older man?" The Doctor asks.
"Oh thats just Pervy Pete the cleaner. He's seen the faceless thing too. Ee were in the alley 'avin a slash when it attacked Loz. 'e'd been in the Mariners Arms in Tile Street" Stevie replies.
"Why is he called Pervy Pete?" Rory asks.
"Eee used to be a winder cleaner up Thamesmead. He filmed women on 'is phone when they didn't think 'e was there. Then this time 'e were watchin' a woman an tryin' to 'old up is phone an jack off at the same time. She sees 'im an screams an ee falls off 'is ladder. Thats 'ow 'e got 'is limp. Did two years in the Scrubs. Annie got im this job. He's alright though Pete is. Sees us right with weed 'an crack." Nick stands up:
"Doctor, this place is just awful. Can we leave please?"
"I agree!" Amy adds. The Doctor calms them:
"Look, when this is all over, I assure you that we'll put a full and proper complaint in to the authorities. However we need to find out what the alien threat is that we are dealing with first."
"What do you suggest?" Amy asks.
"I suggests that one of us goes under cover. Pretends to be in the same line of work as these youths so that they encounter the creature themselves. Don't worry, the rest of us will follow surupticiously so that no harm comes to you. So any volunteers?" Nick and Rory look at each other nervously......................

Thanks for the positive feedback. I am hoping that this series of Doctor Who stories will be exciting, edgy and varied.

I'd like to see this story broadcast at 6pm on a Saturday night, if only for the reaction it would cause at the Daily Mail.

I have tried to keep the story suitable for a family audience and have refrained from including some controversial scenes suggested by others.

That's a blast from the past - I haven't heard someone described as 'a large coloured man' since the 1980s!

Well, I need to go and have some weed and crack now, to sort my head out.

Nothing new there then Rich..........

"¤¤¤¤ off Stevie, it ain't tea for another hour."

perhaps gary glitter could play Pervy Pete.

And thus the Emperor returned unto his fortunate people and beguiled them once again with tales of wonder and wildest imaginings...

Hail and welcome back, Spara. Your return was worth the wait.

OK folks, here is the next part of this gripping story:

"SILENT SCREAMS" Part 4

"I'd rather not volunteer if you don't mind Doctor" Nick states.
"Well theres no way I'm doing it" Rory says stubbornly. The Doctor grins:
"Well one of us has to. How about we toss". Rory and Nick look confused:
"Are you suggesting that we toss off together to practice for the role? No way" Rory snaps. The Doctor laughs:
"No I mean't toss a coin. Heads its Nick, tails its you". The Doctor takes a 10p from his pocket and throws it in the air. The coin falls down on the table, bounces and spins to a halt.
"Tails it is!!!!!!!!" shouts Amy, laughing. Rory looks sullen:
"No way. I'm not doing it, end of. I'm not having dirty old men eyeing me up". Amy whispers to the Doctor:
"Don't worry Doctor, leave it to me..... *to Rory* Quite right dear. It obviously should be Nick as he's younger and prettier than you. And obviously more attractive." Rory looks hurt:
"What? You think he's more attractive than me? Him? *to the Doctor* I'll do it." Amy nudges the Doctor and winks.

After the meal, the Doctor asks Stevie's advice about how to make Rory look the part:
"Well e's older than most of the other casual renters who work the dilly and pick up in arcades. He'd like do more trade on the net wiv punters who are more upmarket like." Annie is wiping the table with a filthy brown cloth and overhears:
"What ee needs is somethin' to make 'im stand out. A sellin' point. Give us a tenner an I'll sort 'im out with some gear. Some of the lads in 'ere do a bunk an leave stuff. I've got a cupboard full of clothes an stuff. What 'ee needs is some leather an a bit of make up." Stevie agrees:
"Yeah. The punters a'll think 'e does kinky stuff. Some punters prefer the older trade if they look like they'll do a bit of s&m". Rory looks concerned:
"I don't like the way this is going" he states. Amy frowns:
"Its for the good of the case".

Later, Rory is in Annie's room being dressed. The others wait outside.
"If you give us a tenner I'll take 'im down to Funland an show 'im how to get the punters" Stevie offers. Amy smiles:
"Thanks Stevie. You're such a nice guy, how did you ever end up in this place?"
"Ran away from 'ome when I was 16 an ended up sleepin' at Euston station. I soon learn't 'ow to survive on the streets." As he speaks the door opens and Rory emerges. Amy gasps. He is dressed in skin-tight silver trousers and a skimpy black shirt with his midriff showing. He has a leather collar with silver spikes and similar armbands. He has eyeliner and makeup and Annie has gelled his hair to be spikey. He gives the Doctor an angry look:
"I feel completely silly". Annie gives him a slap round the head:
"'ey, I've just spent two hours gettin' ya right . You'll get a ¤¤¤¤in punter now. 'av some bleedin gratitude". Amy sidles up to him:
"You look.... stunning. We'll buy that gear off her when this is over". Rory scowls:
"We will not" he snaps. The Doctor grins.
"Time to go. There's a killer to catch..................."

.................. to be continued.

Here is the next part of this major series 6 adventure:

"SILENT SCREAMS": Part 5

The TARDIS team and Stevie walk to Piccadilly Circus and down Shaftsbury Avenue to the Funland amusement arcade. Stevie takes Rory to oneside:
"What you do like is play on one of the machines an wait for a punter to approach ya. Or keep lookin' round on the sly an if a punter gives you the eye you're on."
"I don't like this" Rory complains. Amy nudges him hard:
"Think of the case. Do it for me" she firmly insists. They go in and the large black guy attendant comes over:
"Hey Stevie man, hows tricks?"
"Any punters in tonight Diz?" Stevie replies.
"Yeah man *notices Rory*. Hey is dis dude new trade?" Stevie grins:
"Yeah. He's Rory." The attendant looks at Rory:
"You know its 20% of what you get from punters in ere goes to me, yeah?" Rory looks puzzled:
"What if I don't want to give you 20%?" he asks. Stevie leans over to him:
"Your legs get broken" he states. They notice Loz and Eddie over in the far corner playing on a pinball machine. The Doctor goes to play on the space game with Amy, Nick and Stevie, leaving Rory in the centre of the arcade playing on racing driving game.

After a short time, a middle aged man in a scruffy suit approaches Rory.
"You new trade?" he asks. Rory mumbles nervously:
"Er yes..." The man leans over to him and Rory notices that he stinks of stale sweat. He feels Rory's inner thigh:
"Mmmm I bet you're a horny ¤¤¤¤er. What I'd like you to do is... *whispers in Rory's ear*". Rory panics:
"I can't do this" he exclaims and storms out. The Doctor sends Amy and Stevie after him. Stevie is annoyed:
"You carry on like that an you'll upset the punters. You wanna lose us bread? That guy's a regular". Rory is angry:
"I can't do this." Amy grabs him:
"Look do you want us to catch the killer or don't you? Stop being a wuss. *pouting* Do it for me big boy". Rory pulls himself together:
"Ok I'll try again. But I'd better be well rewarded in the bedroom department when this is all over Amy". Stevie frowns:
"That guy wasn't the killer anyhow. He were a good lookin' bloke. He's young an' handsome."

They go back in. They notice Rory's first punter going off with Loz, leaving Eddie playing pinball alone. Rory goes back to his game. After a short while Rory notices a youngish man in a black coat giving him the eye. The man comes over.
"You up for some fun?" He asks Rory.
"Yeah" Rory says.
"Come on then" the man says laughing and quickly ushers Rory out. Amy, Nick and Stevie are engaged in watching the Doctor's game and Amy just catches Rory leaving:
"Hey he's going. Come on guys... quick!" They rush out and follow Rory and his punter:
"Is that the one that attacked you?" The Doctor asks Stevie:
"I can't like really tell from 'ere." The young man leads Rory down several streets until they come to a dark alley. A cat meows and runs off as they enter the alley, where they see a tramp defacating by some bin bags:
"Ere this is my bog ¤¤¤¤ off!" the tramp exclaims.
"We need to use this alley for sex" Rory's punter says laughing. The tramp growls:
"Wait till I've wiped me ¤¤¤¤ter". He wipes his posterior on a clump of old newspaper then staggers off mumbling to himself. Meanwhile the Doctor and the others wait outside the alleyway listening. The punter pulls Rory towards him and kisses him:
"Mmmm you're hot......."
Suddenly there is a blood-curdling scream coming from somewhere nearby:
"Ahhhhhaaaaaaaaaahheeeeeeeeeeeeee............. ..."
"What the ¤¤¤¤ was that?" Rory's punter shouts. He and Rory rush out of the alleyway and Rory collides into the Doctor.
"Hey watch out Doctor. Did you hear the scream?"
"Yes come on." They rush down the street and see another alleyway. Rory's punter looks confused:
"Hey who are you people?" he asks.
"No time to explain now" the Doctor shouts. Reaching the other alleyway, the Doctor pulls out a small torch and shines it. They are shocked to see Eddie lying spreadeagled on his back. His lungs have been removed.......


...............to be continued.

OK folks, here is part six of this adventure:

"SILENT SCREAMS" Part 6

Amy phones the police who arrive along with an ambulance. The Doctor shows them his psychic paper and explains the situation. Meanwhile Stevie is shocked and shaken at seeing his friend's mutilated corpse and Rory is equally upset:
"That could have been me...." he mumbles. Amy squeezes his hand:
"Is there anywhere near here that we can go for a coffee or something?" she asks Stevie.
"Theres an all night cafe just round the corner like. We 'ang out there regular".
"Lets go" Amy announces. They all arrive at the dingy cafe called 'MARIO'S', which has food stains on the walls and unwiped tables. A middle aged man of italian appearence is fiddling with his coffee machine.
"Hiya Stevie boy. Whatta do yo want?" he asks.
"Coffee for me Mario. An whatever these are 'avin' like" he replies.
"I'm paying" the Doctor states, grinning.

They pull several tables together and Amy puts her arm around Stevie:
"Look we're sorry about your friend Stevie...." As she speaks the door flies open and in staggers the tramp from the first alleyway:
"Ere Mario , giz some a that whiskey you keeps in the kitchen. I f*** need summat" he shouts. Mario scowls at him:
"Getta outta my cafe. You no pay. You barred from here". The tramp ignores him and staggers to the counter:
"I've just seen a murder I 'ave. 'orrible it were. Me belly's all churned up" . Mario gets flustered:
"Ay you notta throwing up in my cafe again. Go!! The Doctor shoots up and goes over to the counter:
"Its ok. We need to speak to this gentleman. I'll pay for his whiskey (holds out a tenner)". Mario takes the money:
"I'm-a charging you the full ten pounds to putta up with him in my cafe". He fetches the tramp a whiskey as the Doctor pulls him up a seat next to them. Amy, Nick and Rory wince as the tramp smells of stale urine and faeces. The Doctor grins:
"I'm the Doctor and this is Amy, Rory, Nick and Stevie. And you are?"
"Sid. Ere you ain't wi the filth is ya?"
"No Sid. However we do need you to explain what exactly you saw happen in the alleyway to that boy". Sid coughs and leans forward, spitting a lump of flem onto the floor:
"Ahh get out , ya pay no rent!" he shouts. Nick and Amy wince.
"What did you see?" The Doctor repeats.
"'Orrible it were. I'd just 'ad a s*** an I was feelin' 'ungry so I went into the alley as theres some bins used by a chinky restaurant down there. I sees the kid Eddie about to gi this bloke a blow-job. Eee gives good uns 'e does. Eee were down on 'is knees when the bloke's 'and suddenly turned into a saw thing. 'ee sliced at the kid an' in a few seconds 'ad is insides out. 'ee bunged um in a leather case then ran off past me. I felt like spewin."
Sid gulps the whiskey down.
"Lovely. Any chance a another f***?" The Doctor gets him another whiskey.
"Did you recognise the attacker?" Nick asks.
"Yeah." The Doctor hands him the whiskey.
"Well? Who was it?"
"I've seen 'im around the Dilly alot. Allus after dark. 'e struck me as f*** posh so it were odd that 'e lives in Ket's Lane. Spose 'e must 'ave a pad round 'ere to use for cruisin' for renters."
"You know where he lives?" Nick exclaims.
"Thats what I said innit! I were fettetin' in the bins in Ket's Lane a week or so back when I sees im go up to one a the flats. Didn't av a renter wi im". Sid knocks back the whiskey then lets rip a massive fart. As he does so the door flies open and a distraught Loz rushes in. He is in tears. He runs up to Stevie:
"Ere is it true.... is it f***' true what they're sain' about Eddie bein' dead?" Stevie tries to comfort him as the Doctor stands up:
"There is no time to lose. Amy you take Loz and Stevie back to the hostel and try to calm them down. The rest of us will get Sid here to take us to the murderer's lair........"

SILENT SCREAMS: Part 7

Sid leads the Doctor, Rory and Nick through the dimly lit side-streets of Soho towards Ket's lane. They pass several down & outs sleeping on cardboard and turning into Ket's lane they see a female prostitute in fishnet stockings being given a good shafting up against the wall by a burly man. As they pass she shouts out:
"Ere 'e'll be done in a few secs, any a you lads fancy it? Only fifty quid for the full works!" Sid shuffles over:
"I ain't got fifty. 'ow abouts I ows yer till tomorrer?" The woman scowls:
"I didn't mean you like you old soak. I means any a them nice lads." She winks at the others as her punter grunts and pounds. The Doctor frowns:
"I think madam that you ought to consider adjusting your prices considering the fact that any new customer will be following straight after the current one." Nick grabs his arm:
"Look Doctor, should we really be discussing this sort of thing. We're almost at the killer's flat". The Doctor pats him on the shoulder:
"I'm sorry Nick, you're right. Its just the pressure and all that. Come on!" They walk towards the flats at the end of the lane however as they do so they see a man enter the lane from a turning in front of them. He has a youth with him. The Doctor gestures and they hide behing some wheelie bins:
"Is that him?" he whispers to Sid:
"Yeah. 'es the geezer". Nick is shocked and turns to the Doctor:
"I recognise that man. Doctor, that is Nigel Oakmore. You know the government minister. He's Minister of Transport I think." Rory is shocked:
"You mean to say that a top Minister is going around murdering rent boys and writing to the police claiming to be Jack the Ripper?" Sid breaks wind:
"Ahh. Let the wind go free where ere ya be, in church or chapel let it rattle...." The Doctor gives them a determined look:
"Come on, we've got to rescue that boy before its too late!"

The Doctor, Rory and Nick run towards the flats as Oakmore is about to go in. The Doctor shouts at him to stop and he turns round angrily. The rent boy, who is dressed in tight jeans and a skimpy silver top, looks puzzled.
"Move away from him, he's dangerous!" the Doctor shouts.
"Ere, you 'avin a laugh or summat. 'e only wants a blow job" the rent boy replies. However Oakmore suddenly holds out his hand which metamorphosises into a metallic saw like weapon. The youth manages to dodge it and runs:
"Whaart the fuuuuuckkk" he shouts. Oakmore stares angrily at the Doctor:
" You dare to interfere? However I see you have brought two very nice specimens with you *eyes up Nick and Rory*. They will provide some high quality organs I expect". The rent boy turns to the Doctor:
"What the f*** is it like? " The Doctor is concerned:
"Some kind of android I think...."
"Ere I nearly gave it a blow job like" the rent boy replies.
"You guess right" Oakmore shouts and his face metamorphosises into a metallic one. It strides forward swishing its saw hand which narrowly misses Rory's head. The other hand has become a scalpel-like blade. Nick and Rory manage to grab an empty wheelie bin and throw it at the android , however it dodges it and runs at them. It slides over in some dog muck giving them time to dodge the blades. However it recovers itself and lunges at them again. This time Rory slides over in the dog turd and the android advances on him quickly. It points its scalpel hand at Rory's left eye and lunges....................

OK folks: the anticipation has been building. The tension growing! HERE it is: the final gripping instaulment of the second story of the season:


SILENT SCREAMS: Part 8

The android points its scalpel-like hand at Rory's eye and lunges, however just as it does so an empty wine bottle hits the arm and knocks it off kilter and Rory scrambles free. The Doctor and Nick turn to find out who threw the bottle and see Amy, Loz and Stevie grabbing more bottles from an overturned wheelie bin.
"I'm sorry Doctor but the lads insisted that we follow you" Amy shouts. They throw more bottles at the Android however it simply swats them away as its face changes back into that of Oakmore. It laughs:
"Ha you think glass bottles can harm me? I will take from you the organs that my Masters require". As it speaks Loz hurls himself at the thing with no regard for his safety:
"You f***' bastard, Eddie were my mate...." he shouts as he grabs the android causing it to stumble backwards.
"Loz no.... get away from it...." Amy screams, however the android recovers and hits Loz with a side swipe causing him to crash into a wall. The Doctor and Nick try to intervene however the android swipes at them with its saw arm. Turning towards a dazed Loz, it raises its saw:
"Now I will extract your heart and lungs..." it shouts. However before it can do so, a beam of light shoots into its chest:
"NO.... LEAVE HIM!!!!" The Doctor turns an sees that it is Stevie who is shouting and that the light is emenating from his eyes. The android crashes down and the light stops. Stevie faints.

"What the hell? The boy's an alien or something!" Rory shouts. The Doctor and Amy rush over to Stevie, while a dazed Loz joins them.
"He's Ok, he's just fainted" the Doctor says.
"Ok? He's just zapped that thing with his eyes. Er how is that ok?" Amy replies. The Doctor just smiles and goes over to the fallen android which is barely functioning:
"Who sent you here? Who are you stealing these body parts for?" the Doctor asks:
".. they are coming... my Masters. Soon they will come for your entire planet..... some move in your midst already...."
"Then humanity will fight. What gives you the right to kill these boys as if they don't matter?" The Doctor angrily asks:
"My Masters identified these rent boys as a section of youth least likely to recieve the full attention of a police investigation. My Masters need their organs........." The Doctor is angered:
"Well your Masters are wrong. The police have been trying hard to find you. Just because these boys work in the sex industry does not make them disposable. Now tell me who your Masters are?" he shouts. The android groans:
"The dark ones.... those that can take on your form. Those that worship HIM....."
"Who is him?" the Doctor asks.
"He who dwells in the Forbidden Tower in the Celestial City..... the.....the... Exalted Creath............"
The android dies.

Later the Doctor and the others are back in the hostel sipping Gang Bang Annie's coffee in the dingy canteen. Annie slams a tin of stale looking cakes down in front of them:
"Ere get these down yer necks. They need eatin' up as I've got loads of 'em that ASDA chucked out and they'll soon go off" she shouts. She notices Sid:
"Ere whats 'e doin' 'ere?" The Doctor frowns:
"He's here madam because he is a homeless person and this is a hostel for the homeless. I was hoping that you could find him a room."
"Hows 'e gonna pay 'is way? This 'ostels for renters not old winos". Sid scowls:
"Ere who you callin' a wino? I ain't 'ad a drink for hours" he says then belches loudly.
"The boss won't like it. I suppose I could bung you in one a the empty rooms with the winders out" Annie says . The Doctor stands up:
"Madam I assure you that I will be making a full complaint to the authorities about the state of this hostel. It is outrageous how young people are expected to live in cold, damp rooms with no proper heating. And your feeding them on supermarket chuckouts in order to save money is disgusting. Hopefully your boss Mr Huscroft will be replaced.
*turning to the camera* Furthermore it is outrageous that these youths are not valued by society for the enormous contribution that they make to it. They provide a service to lonely men who need company and relief. They deserve some basic respect and maybe their income can be topped up out of the public purse".
"Bravo Doctor" Amy shouts and all of the lads in the canteen give him a standing ovation.
"Whats going to happen to Stevie? I mean who or what is he? Are you passing him over to Torchwood?" Rory asks. The Doctor frowns:
"They'd lock him away and subject him to all manner of dubious tests. I am estranged from their methods. And UNIT arn't much better. No I will take him to an old friend of mine Sir Alex Reece. He used to work for UNIT with the Brigadier before leaving when they went too far in some ways." Stevie looks worried:
"Look I don't know what happened like. I'm just a dilly boy.. I ain't no alien." Amy pats his arm:
"Don't worry, the Doctor will ensure no harm comes to you."
They all toast the Doctor with Annie's coffee before braving her stale cakes.


...........the End.


The Doctor and TARDIS crew will return soon in episode three of this series:

"DEADLY SABBATH"
