The Story of Emily Evans

XLIV: Downing Street

As soon as we walked out of the Tardis. A spotlight immediately shined down on us as I heard the engine of a helicopter roar. I looked up at the spotlight, placing my hands over my eyes before I noticed a bunch of police cars and armoured carriers surround us. "Do not move! Step away from the blue box and raise your hands above your heads." A voice sounded over the speakers of the police cars. From my side, Mickey ran and dove out of the spotlight and into the darkness of the lot around us. Jackie came running from the flat as she called both Rose and my name. Some soldiers had to keep Jackie back, away from the Doctor, Rose, and I. Some soldiers ran after Mickey, easily losing him in the darkness.

"Emily...! Rose...!" Jackie called out our names once more as the soldiers held her at bay.

"Raise your hands above your head." The voice from the speakers of the police cars. The Doctor, Rose, and I instantly obeyed...we didn't want any trouble...and I had no idea why they were even here. "You are under arrest."

I looked at the Doctor, a cheeky smile entered his face. Oh...please no.... I told myself as I quickly thought about what he was gonna say. "Doctor! Don't you dare." I told him, that only seemed to make him want to do it even more.

"Take me to your leader!" The Doctor told those around us. I so wanted to smack him right now but...I looked at the ones surrounding us...better not...I'll do that later....

They all then began to push the Doctor, Rose, and I into a car, a police car...but they didn't cuff us or anything. I thought they were arresting us...? I asked myself as I looked outside the window. Police cars and armoured military vehicles seemed to surround the car as it drove down the street. This doesn't seem like they're arresting us...it seemed like more of an escort.

"This is a bit posh...." Rose seemed to say as she sat next to me in the car. The Doctor sat to my left as Rose sat to my right. "If I knew it was going to be like this...being arrested, I would have done it years ago."

"No you wouldn't'ev...." I told her.

"We're not being arrested, we're being escorted." The Doctor told her.

"Where to...?" Rose asked him.

"Where you think...?" I asked her as I looked out the window. We weren't exactly heading to the Yard now...where we...?

"Downing Street." The Doctor stated as if it were obvious.

"You're kidding." Rose stated, as if she couldn't believe it. "10 Downing Street?"

"That's the one." The Doctor responded.

"Oh, my God. We're going to 10 Downing Street?" Rose asked him. "How come?"

"I hate to say it...but Mickey was right." The Doctor told her, not liking what he was saying. "Over the years I've visited this planet a lot of times...and I've been, er, noticed."

"Now they need you?" Rose asked him.

"Like it said on the news." The Doctor told her, referring to the news. "They're gathering experts in alien knowledge...and who's the biggest expert of the lot?"

"Patrick Moore?" Rose asked him, as if she had to seriously debate the answer in her mind.

"Apart from him." The Doctor told her, as if the answer was obvious...which...it kind of was. The Doctor was an actual alien...who better else to ask about aliens than an alien...?

"Oh, don't you just love it...?" Rose asked him, now knowing that he was talking about himself.

"I'm telling you." The Doctor told her. "Lloyd George, he used to drink me under the table. Who's the Prime Minister now?"
