Anji was soon beside him. She must’ve been sent sprawling into the next room, which didn’t seem quite so damaged. ‘It’s the joist there,’ the Doctor said, gesturing. The loudest creak yet cackled demonically above them. ‘Quick, before the roof falls in.’ ‘I can’t shift it,’ Anji said, panicking. ‘You must!’ the Doctor shouted, writhing his legs beneath the block of timber. ‘Give me the torch. I’ll try to find something to use as a crowbar.’ He passed it to her, and the light bobbed away, a giant firefly scanning the room. More dust and grit showered him in the half-light. ‘I’ll try this,’ Anji announced, wielding a section of piping. A sound carried distantly across to them. A shriek of pain, of distress. ‘Etty’ the Doctor whispered. ‘Come on, Anji.’ The ceiling cracked and groaned. Anji heaved up on the pipe jammed in under the joist. ‘It’s not budging.’ ‘It will,’ the Doctor said calmly. ‘It will. Try again.’ ‘Oh, Doctor. . . ’ ‘Again. Come on, Anji.’ Etty’s wailing went on. A slab of concrete pounded into the floor beside the Doctor’s head. ‘Doctor -’ ‘Tm ah right, Anji, try again. One - two -’ ‘Three!' Anji bawled. And the joist shifted just enough for the Doctor to pull free. In a second he was beside her, helping her up and out of the room, and in another second the ceiling was smashing down behind them. They ran headlong through the shaking building, eyes hxed on the faint glow of the sodium lights outside. But as they reached the doorway, more masonry crashed down beside them. Anji was knocked sideways and cracked her head on the door frame. The Doctor lifted her up and swung her over his shoulder, sprinting forward as the entire building came crashing down behind them. The din was incredible, the ground shook, but the Doctor barely noticed as he fell to his knees and held his friend close to him. ‘Anji!’ the Doctor whispered urgently. ‘Anji, wake up.’ She ignored him. Erom behind her ear came a trickle of blood, berry dark in the torchlight. He laid her carefully down on the muddy ground and shrugged off his black coat to use as a blanket. ‘I’ll be back soon,’ the Doctor promised, and ran off to hnd Etty. Her wailing cry was like a siren, warning the world away from here. 127
