Chapter NineNow the Doctor could hear comings and goings from the gym hall.Sontarans stamped past. There were sounds of heavy equipmentbeing dragged across the floor. Lighter footsteps followed, and criesthat told him students were being led through the hall.

Then after what seemed like a very long wait, there came thesound he was hoping for. A faint knock on the cupboard door.

'Hello?' he whispered.

'Doctor?' a voice whispered back. It was Emma!

'Can you let me out of here?' the Doctor asked.

'No, it's been deadlocked,' she told him.

He sighed. 'Well, what's going on?'

'Not sure. The Sontarans are taking all the students into the arena.'

'The arena?' The Doctor imagined the sort of place where theRomans threw people to the lions.

He told Emma that, and she laughed. 'More the sort of placewhere they hold sports events and sometimes pop concerts,' she said.

'Do you know if Karl's OK?' the Doctor asked. The last he'd seenof the sprinter was Lieutenant Slorr leading him towards a door.Where the door went, he didn't know.

'They took him to the arena too.' To the Doctor's surprise, Emma'svoice sounded more cross than upset.

'What's up?' he asked. 'Don't be angry with Karl. I thought you lotwere getting past all that blaming and snapping at each other. Itwasn't his fault we were captured.'

For a few seconds she was quiet, and the Doctor wondered if she'dleft. Then she spoke. 'I'm not cross with Karl. I'm cross with you!'

The Doctor blinked. He hadn't been expecting that.

'Why?'

'You had to go and tell them you were a Time Lord, didn't you?'

'I had to distract them!' the Doctor said. 'Karl was in danger.'

'So what? You had a chance of helping us all if you'd just kept alow profile.'

The Doctor remembered Emma's hand holding him back in thegallery. He'd wanted to jump down then, and she'd stopped him.

'I can't do that,' he said. 'Let one person die, in case someone moreimportant comes along that I have to save? How could you ever makethat choice? I wouldn't be me if I did that.'
