"Aleera," I scream, managing to catch her as she fell. I lay her down gently as Anna rushes over, putting pressure on the wound. Aleera's struggling not to make a sound. One of the Doctor's friends, Rory, I think, pushes his way over. "I'm a nurse, let me help," he says, taking charge and helping with the wound. I hold Aleera's head in my lap, off the cold, hard floor. Dimly, I'm aware of the Doctor and his wife trying to figure out where Kira went. 

"Sector Seventeen," the Doctor yells out. "Aleera, what's Sector Seventeen?" he asks. I scoff. She's just been shot, couldn't he asks someone else? But I know she's had worse. "I don't know. Sector Seventeen has been sealed off for the past four years," Aleera responds a little breathlessly. "Well, let's find out what she's keeping there, then," the Doctor mutters, attempting to use the teleportation pad to teleport directly to the Sector. It didn't work; Kira had sealed it off. "We'll have to set it to Sector Sixteen. Who's coming with me?" he asks. "Go," she orders. "But-" I start to argue about why she shouldn't be left alone. "No! I've had a lot worse, and we both know it! I'll be fine, go," she says matter of factly. I let go of her and stand up, moving to the teleportation pad.
