It was the Doctor who was in the cells, a row of cages along a narrow passage, separated only by their bars. It was like being in a zoo.

The cage next to the Doctor’s was occupied by a still form under a rough blanket. Whoever he was, the man was apparently fast asleep.

As Benton unlocked the door of his future cell, the Doctor was saying, ‘I’ll have you know your counterpart on the other Earth is a nice sociable sort of fellow, Sergeant.’

‘My rank is Platoon Under-Leader,’ said Benton stolidly.

‘Bit of a mouthful, isn’t it?’

‘Your trouble is, you talk too much.’

The Doctor nodded towards the prisoner in the next cell. ‘What did he do? Park in a restricted zone?’

‘Stop asking stupid questions.’

The Doctor glanced at the motionless huddled shape.

‘Well, at least he seems to be sleeping peacefully.’

‘Tranquilliser dart,’ said Benton curtly. ‘They don’t give us much trouble after that. We should have done the same to you. Now, get in.’ He thrust the Doctor inside the cell, slammed and locked the door, and turned and went away.

‘Any chance of some food?’ called the Doctor plaintively.

‘Cup of tea? Glass of water, then?’

To his surprise Benton reappeared, this time with Section-Leader Shaw and another sentry.

‘Visaing time already, is it?’ said the Doctor cheerfully.

‘Your interrogation isn’t over yet.’

‘Oh, yes it is,’ said the Doctor, and stretched out on the bunk.

‘Get on your feet when the Section-Leader’s talking to you!’ shouted Benton.

‘Oh, go away and give me some peace.’

‘When I say get on your feet, prisoner, I mean get on your feet!’

‘All right,’ grumbled the Doctor. ‘Anything for a quiet life!’ He got up and leaned against the bars.

‘Now,’ said Section-Leader Shaw relentlessly. ‘We’ll start again. Who sent you? How did you get into the complex?’
