the Doctor’s eyes. We can see where he is exactly.’

Chang Lee frowned. ‘I know that face... It’s the doctor

from the hospital. The one I got the Doctor’s bag from.’

The face was frowning, speaking. Concentrating, Chang

Lee realised he could hear her words, seeing and listening

as he was from the Doctor’s point of view.

The image whited out, leaving nothing but stars, planets

and comets. The universe as Chang Lee had seen it earlier.

The Doctor had closed his eyes, Chang Lee guessed, but he

could still hear their words.

‘What’s going on, Doctor?’ the woman from the hospital

demanded.

‘The Eye of Harmony, it’s the power source at the very

heart of the TARDIS.’

Chang Lee could hear as the woman took a deep breath.

‘Okay. Now then, what is a TARDIS?’

‘The TARDIS is my spaceship. It carries me through

time and space. T-A-R-D-I-S, an acronym for Time And

Relative Dimension In Space.’

Chang Lee was finding this almost as bizarre as he

guessed the doctor from the hospital must find it.

‘And this “Master”,’ she was saying. ‘Is he like, the

Devil?’

‘No,’ said the Doctor. ‘He’s a rival Time Lord.’

‘A Time Lord.’ The woman then spoke quietly. ‘Oh my

God, you’re completely insane.’

‘No, I’m not. The Master is pure evil. I was taking his

remains home to Gallifrey. In his final incarnation he had

been captured by the Daleks, placed on trial and

exterminated.’

‘And these Daleks? Are they Time Lords, too? Do they

have spaceships like your TARDIS?’ The sarcasm was

obvious.

The Doctor was ignoring her. ‘But he wasn’t dead. It’s

all been a trap. A trap for me! He wants me to look into the Eye.’

‘So?’

‘So, if I look into the Eye of Harmony, my soul will be

destroyed. He will be free to take my body then.’

‘Listen to all those lies, my young friend.’ The Master

was beside Chang Lee, hissing into his ear. ‘Can you

believe this rubbish?’

‘No.’ Chang Lee was certain. ‘But how can she fall for

it?’

‘Because,’ the Master replied, ‘he is pure evil. He is

exerting his evil force over her. Manipulating all her

thoughts and actions. Poor woman.’

‘Look,’ the doctor from the hospital was saying, her

voice echoing around the starscape that Chang Lee was

gazing intently at. ‘I’m afraid I really can’t deal with this.’

‘Please, Grace. Listen carefully –’

‘No,’ the woman, Grace apparently, shouted. ‘No. I’ve

had enough.’

‘If the Eye of Harmony remains open for too long, this

planet will be sucked through it.’ The Doctor was

sounding desperate.

Chang Lee could hear why. What a load of rubbish.

The Doctor was still shouting at Grace. ‘I must fix the

timing mechanism on the TARDIS so that I can close the

Eye of Harmony. I need an atomic clock. Can you help me

find one?’

There was no reply. ‘Grace?’

The image of the park suddenly burst back into the

cathedral as the Doctor presumably opened his eyes. Chang

Lee could see Grace running across the park.

‘So, that’s how he intends to destroy me.’

The Master looked across to Chang Lee. ‘We must find

the Doctor before he finds an atomic clock.’

Chang Lee was staring at the image of Grace running

away from the Doctor. The movement of the image

suggested that the Doctor was following,. He pointed at

Grace. ‘Yeah, she’s the woman at the hospital all right.
