Chapter Fifteen.

Rose exited the cookhouse in a much better mood.
She felt a lot fresher having had a shower and a nice hot plate of fish and chips, yet as she walked towards the direction of the NAAFI to buy some chocolate for afters her mood soured.
Heading up the main road from the guardhouse escorted by soldiers wearing medical brazzards was a young female soldier with a cybernetic arm, she was barely able to stand, let alone walk.
"Oh my God!" Gasped Rose as she approached the soldiers helping Roxanne.
"Roxanne are you okay? What happened? Where's the Doctor?"
Roxanne raised her head groggily and gave Rose a foul look for asking so many questions at once.
"To answer your questions in ascending order, I've felt better, a cyberman attack and he's behind me."
Rose looked up and saw the Doctor approach, she ran to him and grabbed him in a tight hug, feeling worried when he only half heatedly hugged her back and brushed her gently aside as he followed the other soldiers and Roxanne.
"What the hell happened?" Yelled another voice.
Rose turned to see Anthony come running down the road and stare in shock at the state Roxanne was in.
"Cyberman attack." Said Rose numbly, still reeling from the brush off she had recieved from the Doctor.
Anthony's eyes widened. "What? You mean she actually went there looking for the cybermen?"
Rose shrugged and walked away, following the medical convoy.

Major Angelo was sat in the medical office enjoying a cup of coffee and reading one of his favourite books when he was disturbed by a knock at the door, tutting he put his book down and opened the door, his eyes widened in shock as two soldiers carried in an unconcious Roxanne.
"Good lord, is that Captain Jewra?" He gasped motioning to the examination table.
"Roxanne!" Yelled Anthony as he burst into the room. "Is she going to be okay? what happened?"
"Lieutenant Green, some dignity please." Said Major Angelo looking rather offended.
"Sorry Sir." Said the young offcier sheepishly.
The Doctor entered the room and stood in the corner, silently watching as Major Angelo leaned over Roxanne and began his examination.
"Roxanne can you hear me?"
"Loud and clear Sir." Groaned Roxanne as she sat up groggily and rubbed her head, wincing in pain.
The Doctor and Anthony both breathed a sigh of relief.
Major Angelo smiled. "Good lass. How are you feeling?"
Roxanne managed a weak smirk. "Like I've been boxing with a Slitheen and lost."
"I'm so glad you're okay I thought I'd lost you." Anthony laughed and ran up to her, grabbing her in a tight hug, causing her to yell out in pain and push him away.
"Lieutenant Green, control yourself or I shall have you removed!" Snapped Major Angelo.
"Where's my father?" Said Roxanne rubbing her sore ribs.
"I'm never letting you out of my sight again." Smiled the Doctor approaching from the corner and gently hugging her.
Roxanne hugged him and smiled. "Where have I heard that before?"
Major Angelo nodded and muttered to himself. "May I ask how you sustained such injuries?"
Roxanne let go of the Doctor and swallowed hard, feeling small under the senior officers gaze.
"Chadwick Green Sir," She said quietly, wincing at the reaction she got from Anthony.
"The abandoned barracks? Roxy have you completely lost the plot? you could've been killed!"
Roxanne rolled her eyes. "You see this is the reason Brigadier McDonald gave this mission to me alone and told me to keep it to myself."
"That may be so." Said Major Angelo as he pushed an icepack onto Roxanne's skull, causing her to wince. "However, Brigader McDonald shouldn't have sent you there at all, if there are indeed alien threats down there it should be observed by sending in a surviellance unit not soldiers."
Roxanne didn't say anything. "Yeah well, my father and I have had trouble with the cybermen before..."
"Yeah and look what happened." Snapped Anthony. "You nearly got converted and had to spend a lot of time in recovery."
Roxanne gritted her teeth and turned to Anthony. "Thankyou for reminding me."
"Sorry." He muttered sheepishly.
"Anyway, stay off training for the rest of the day and if you don't feel at your best come back and see me imediately."
"Yes Sir." Said Roxanne as she jumped off the examination table and walked from the room, followed by the Doctor and Anthony.

Rose jumped up from her seat outside Major Angelo's office as Roxanne limped out closely followed by Anthony and the Doctor.
"I need to speak to Brigadier McDonald." Said Roxanne more to herself than anyone else. "He needs to know what we've found."
The Doctor dashed round infront of her and stopped her. "Not like this, you need to calm down first."
Roxanne raised her eyebrows. "No way, he needs to know immediately."
She stumbled again as she tried to walk off, holding her head in her hands.
"Point proven." Said the Doctor as he scoped her up in his arms and carried her back to her office.
Rose followed, but remained silent. She wasn't prepared in any way to risk being on the recieving end of Roxanne's anger.
Reaching the offciers accommodation the Doctor put Roxanne down and watched her limp to her desk, she sat down and rested her head on her hands.
"Haven't you got training to go to?" She asked rather annoyed and looking in Rose's direction.
Rose looked at the Doctor for an alibi to try and get out of going back to the rest of the recruits, but he simply raised his eyebrows.
Disheartened Rose left the room.
