Closed to Jenny

The Master strode along the busy streets of cardiff watching the humans as he went past. They were so dull, so drab, so... uninteresting. He had set up a temporary base of operations in a warehouse but the necessity of equipment was forcing him to go out in public again. And yet again the Master found himself wishing he had found some lackeys to do his bidding. If he had simply found a couple of weakminded humans to do what he wanted then he wouldn't be doing this kind of legwork on his own. There was the other reason as well. Other than his hair, his appearance had not shifted at all. Of course, nobody had recognized him yet... but there was always the off-chance that one of the humans was paying the least bit of attention. Not that the Master truly cared. The humans didn't matter. Never did in fact. It would come down to the Doctor and the Master in the end. Just like it always did.

	He rips his specs off, standing straight. "Jenny...Jenny, that's not possible. Where are you? This is really important, I need to know where you are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The Master rolls his eyes as the conversation begins, thankful that Jenny is not looking at him. He moves his lips in time with her while mocking her perky facial expressions. And then; right after she tells the Doctor who he is, he gives a sadistic grin and pulls the laser screwdriver from his pocket. "Goodnight Jenny," he retorts momentarily before zapping her with a neural suppression beam specially designed for time lords. It was a new addition to the screwdriver, and one that had been intended for the Doctor. Not that the Master wasn't perfectly happy when Jenny slumped to the ground. Indeed, he took half a second to examine his work before reaching for the phone that she had dropped.

With the utmost arrogance the Master speaks into the device. "Hello Doctor."

	He frowns as he hears noise but no response, "Jenny? Jenny!" And then that voice. "Master..." he breathes, "What have you done to Jenny? Leave her alone! Where are you, let her go, whatever this is, it's between us..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Now now Doctor," the Master chides, "you almost sound like you are begging me. Surely you can do better than that. But to save you the trouble, no. Thanks for asking but I think I'll keep her. You see, she is a time lord. Amazing isn't it? I mean, after all, what is as valuable a commodity as time lords right now? You know, I can't think of a thing. Now Doctor, as I understand it you have other things to worry about right now. After all, surely I'm not the worst thing that has fallen through to wind up in this miserable pit. So, off you go then. Go solve your little problems. I'll hold onto dear Jenny here for you. She is quite lovely while sleeping."

His eyebrows crease, and anger flashes in his eyes. "You're right. No begging." He rests the phone between his shoulder and ear, and starts typing on the console again as he speaks, sending an alert to the main Hub about the situation, and starting a trace on Jenny's phone. "Let me be clear. The most important thing is getting Jenny back safe, which means I will hunt you down, and if she is hurt, I will make you pay. To be clearer still, don't for one second make the mistake of thinking I'm the same as my counterpart."

"Really?" The Master says, sarcasm evident in his tone. "I was unaware that you weren't the same as the other Doctor." He continues, though his voice has become serious. "I must admit it might spice up this little dance of ours though. A Doctor capable of what exactly? Violence certainly, but murder or hate? On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that you have gotten some useful traits with that human half. Mark my words though Doctor. You will regret coming after me rather than fixing your other problems. Eyes on the sky. The drums are coming."

He watches the screen as the TARDIS attempts to home in on Jenny's location. "I suppose that will be entirely up to you, Master. We'll learn what I'm capable of together." He continues to type, also pulling up the trace program they created to watch for the Master on the CCTV feeds. "Oh, I gained a few very valuable things by being part human." Multi-tasking and speed typing only being part of it, "So finding you doesn't have to mean that I'm not also working on my other 'problems' as you say. Do I take it you know something else of use, or are you just trying to distract me?"

"Yes." The Master says, sarcasm returning to his voice. "All my plans come down to me distracting you while you are trying to type. Is it working? Shall I sing a song now? I've got some catchy ones. That will distract you for sure!" The Master rolls his eyes while talking, wondering whether the Doctor is that stupid because he is half-human or whether he has always been that way.

The Master switches gears and speaks seriously one more time. "Remember what I said Doctor. Eyes on the sky. The drums are coming." And with that, the Master hurls the phone into the bed of a passing truck.
