‘Hey! I want to talk to the Doctor!’ Martha called.

But Eve’s voice came back over the tiny, tinny speaker: ‘The Doctor is indisposed.’ Now what did that mean? One thing Martha did know, she wasn’t going to meekly submit to being stuck in prison for however many months.

Time had been passing at the museum while they were gone, and it was now open for business. Martha thought this was a good thing, because Celia probably wouldn’t expect her to make a fuss in front of all the visitors – and she certainly wouldn’t expect her to clobber the newly arrived security guard and make a run for it.

But that’s just what Martha did.

I ran. I’ve always been a good runner, anyway, and I’ve had quite a lot of practice since meeting the Doctor, so, even though Celia and the guards know this place better than me, I still managed to evade them.

Hurrah for me! Ducking and dodging and hiding are also things I’ve got better at recently.

Mind you, I didn’t really know what to do after I’d finished the running and the hiding et cetera. Museum big as a planet and all that, it doesn’t really narrow down your options. I still had the pendant, yes, but as I only knew the coordinates for the places I’d already been to, like the doorless warehouse and the Vietnamese market – none of which contained the Doctor – that was very much a last resort.

Ms Optimist, that’s me.

The TARDIS was still in the Earth section, as far as I knew, and the great thing about being on the run in a museum open to the public is that everywhere is signposted. So, despite the size of the place, all I had to do was pick up a guidebook and follow the directions to the dodo. And as the clock had ticked round to opening time, it meant that (a) I didn’t have to worry about movement sensors or anything, and (b) there were members of the general public around to act as 98
