Not far away in the London School of Economics building a tall rather cold looking man sat in one of the many offices, the chair he sat in was a comfy leather one and the desk he sat at was made from the finest mahogany he smiled across at the woman who sat before him on a rather uncomfortable wooden chair. She had long dark hair which was tied into a pony tail she was in her mid to late thirties and had emerald green eyes.
“Ahhhh I’ve always loved this building so many scholars have passed through here. Stocks and shares, facts and figures the hub of learning wouldn’t you say!” the man began.
The woman shook her head “I wouldn’t know most of the culture of this planet is lost on me!” she wearily replied.
“What! Then you are not human oh I assumed with a surname like Galeano that you would…….. You wear a wedding ring, so you observe this planet’s customs so tell me where is your husband Mrs mrs oh I’m sorry we haven’t been formally introduced have we!”
The man got up from his chair and walked around the desk picking up a silver topped walking cane as he did so.
The woman struggled against the rope around her wrists, her feet had also been tied but she couldn’t move them “For your information my name is Professor Kezianna Galeano and the whereabouts of my husband are none of your business. I demand you release me at once you have no right to keep me here. What have you done with the citizens of this city where are they and why are you persisting with all these pathetic illusions” she snapped.
“But my dear lady I am the grand master of illusion and humans are so easy to deceive. The citizens of this great city are around yes they’re around and if you look hard enough for them then you might just see them or hear them maybe! Oh but where are my manners my name is hmmm what name do I go by at the moment oh yes that’s it now I remember my name is Nix”.
Nix had jet black hair and eyes that were almost the same colour he seemed like a relatively young man but there was a look of ancient power in that seemingly innocent face.
“Alright Nix then are you going to tell me what you are doing here or am I going to have to sit here all day?”
“You’re going to help me with my plans my dearest Professor make yourself comfy and I shall explain to you what I am going to do” Nix replied as he perched himself on the edge of the desk. Kez was beginning to loosen the rope around her wrists she knew she had to stay focussed on trying to get her away, her husband had been trying to teach her to use her telepathic skills if only she could send a message to him to tell him of her whereabouts but she was not yet experienced enough with her now found skills to be able to do that.
Jo had stepped back against the far wall so much that she couldn’t step back anymore, as she tried to keep out of the way of the ice. Kane pointed at the ice and it shrank back into nothingness, he smiled and shook his head he beckoned Jo towards a small room and asked her to go inside, Jo hesitated
“It’s alright I give you my word that no harm will come to you or your baby as long as you remain here” Kane reassured.
Jo nodded and she went inside. She saw a man sorting through some dusty looking boxes on even dustier looking shelves, she gasped when the man turned around.
“You what are you doing here! I mean I………” Jo stammered.
The Master quickly brought a chair over to her and made her sit down
“Miss Grant or should I say Mrs Jones what a great pleasure it is to see you again. Here let me pour you some tea! I do hope Infant Jones has not come to any harm! he politely said.
“What oh er no Ben Ben’s fine. Look I’m still trying to find out what on earth is going on around here, why all this cloak and dagger stuff? Why are the streets deserted where is everybody what evil scheme are you working on now!”
The Master shook his head “For once the demise of this wretched planet is nothing to do with me I came here for a very different reason then to help the human race”
Jo began to laugh “Oh right you don’t seriously expect me to believe that you’re not up to something criminal”
“For your information and not that it is any of your business but I came here to try and find my wife, I haven’t seen or heard from her for several months she disappeared without trace, I tracked her here to Earth and became embroiled in all of this stupid mess” the Master snapped his eyes burning with anger.
“Your wife, I’m sorry I had no idea I mean how why er oh dear I……”
“Even I am not immune from falling in love Mrs Jones!” the Master exclaimed with a sigh.
Tor came rushing in “Forgive the interruption Master, Big Ben is striking twelve o’clock midday but they are coming they are coming!” he exclaimed.
The Master gave orders to barricade the storage cellars door as a rumbling noise that sounded like thunder filled the air and the door began to be battered by whatever was on the other side of it………………………..
