Outside TARDIS

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Leaving the scene and letting Loz get Kadaj back to their house, Yazoo didn't bother to go get his bike. As close to town as he already was, it was just a matter of getting to the park.

He slid to a stop in front of the box, looking around at a way to knock...or announce his presence. There wasn't a lot of time.

[The Doctor is reading a small red book, tissue in his hand, when the proximity alarm goes off. Curious, he blinks a few times, getting his mind out of the book--Alarm doesn't go off for CJ, Jack is in, Sunday night, end of term, what? and walks through the corridors to the front door. He opens it a crack against the chill of the evening.] Yazoo? [He blinks, voice growing a bit colder.] Why do you have blood all over?

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo took a step back. He was clearly shaken by having to deliver this news and as such, doesn't beat around the bush. "Accident. CJ was...in an accident. Her car...They've taken her to Alexandria General," he said, waving toward the causeway.

[Ten has never seen any of the brothers like this, hesitant, without force...and then he hears what is being said to him. And he remembers the note she left.
He's screaming on the inside. On the outside, he merely swears under his breath in Gallifreyan. It's a long curse, untranslatable, but his expression says it all. Swallowing hard, he looks Yazoo in the eye and speaks softly, in English.] How long will it take for you to get me there? No questions.

"Half an hour, less if we avoid getting hit by the cops," Yazoo said. He backed up again. "Head toward the causeway, I'll pick you up on the bike."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Fuck the cops. [Ten pulls his coat from the hook beside the door and throws it on. His wallet and mobile are in the pocket. Without looking at Yazoo, he slams the door and starts walking towards the causeway.]

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo was already at a dead run back to the house. He slammed the door open to tell Kadaj and Loz what he was doing and not long after, all three bikes were revved and ready to go.

He took off back toward town to meet the doctor and circled around to pull up beside him, waiting for him to climb on. "Loz and Kadaj will run interference if we need it."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Good. Thank you. [Ten gets on the bike, having made three very brief phone calls in the meantime. He clutches Yazoo's waist, expression not changing from solid rock.] Go.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He barely allowed the doctor to get on the bike before pulling away.

All three brothers flew on their way. Luckily it was late enough at night the cops wouldn't be bothered with the three.

Grim and determined, the brothers performed a ballet through town, Loz and Kadaj weaving in and out of traffic in order to make room for Yazoo to pass without having to brake.

Soon, pulling up to the hospital, Yazoo slid to a stop. "Go. We'll park."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He looks Yazoo in the eye.] Thank you. [Then he jumps off the bike and strides into the hospital...for the first time since...Grace...since he'd woke up in one, dead.]

Jenny looks up at the man, his face kind of scary intense. "Can I help you?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He looks at her, the gaze expressing both terror and sheer force of will. But his voice is quiet.] Claudia Jean Cregg, please. Recent arrival.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She flips through papers, then turns to her screen, ticking one finger at a time.

"Are you family?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a long beleaguered sigh. Bureaucracy.] I'm her fiancé, the rest of her family's on the other side of the country.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Parking the bikes, the brothers barged into the emergency room, immediately looking for the doctor. Yazoo spotted him talking with someone and they headed over, hanging back enough they could hear the conversation without impeding anyone's movement.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Fiance. Ok. I just need to see some ID." She smiles, tired and bored.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten thanks all of the gods in the world that he actually does HAVE ID at the moment, though anything that reads 'John Smith' is going to be questionable slightly. He reaches in his coat pocket and hands her a very, very good fake European Community passport for the Commonwealth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Taking the passport, she looks at it, looks at him, and examines it again. "You're not marrying her for a green card, are you? That never works out well."

She hands him the passport back.

"She's on her way via Medivac to MCV in Richmond. Dr. Wilson went with her so she could see Dr. Lius Masters. He's a genius of a brain surgeon. Your fiance's in really good hands. Really." She tries to remember everything she learned about reassurance of family in her night course. She smiled, hoping it was working.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

No. I'm not. [Ten does not look like he wants to play games or make small talk.] And Wilson. Good. Thank you. [He takes the passport back and heads towards the boys, shooting a quick comment back at her, completely deadpan.] Besides, it's much more useful to have a UK passport at the moment. Tends to keep you from getting shot or blown up. Have a nice day.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Smiling, she raises her hand. "You have a nice day too, Mr. Smith. I hope she'll be ok."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He pulls the brothers out of earshot.] How fast can you get me to Richmond alive and intact?

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Loz pursed his lips. "About an hour, maybe less since it's late and traffic is light."

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Ten buttons up his coat again and pulls on some gloves.] Let's go. I'll owe you for this.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

No dallying for the boys. They are out the door like a shot and have the bikes ready to go.

Loz was actually thankful they had something to do to help, otherwise, the wait at the house would have been hell.

Pulling up, Yazoo shifted forward on his bike to allow the doctor to have as comfortable a seat as he could.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Without a word, Ten gets on the bike and holds tightly to Yazoo. An hour was a while to be riding pillion, and this was going to seem longer than usual. He could tell.]

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Fate smiled favorably on the boys that night. They made excellent time on the highway, moving as fast as they could safely with no interruptions or interference.

Focused and determined, it would have taken a natural disaster to slow the brothers down. And after a little less than an hour, they were pulling up to the hospital.
