Summary
Mickey Smith has taken over the running of a website all about the mysterious traveller the Doctor using it as a means of finding out more about the Doctor and his girlfriend Rose Tyler’s adventures. One Wednesday, responding to an email from a woman calling herself ‘Jill’, Mickey agrees to meet up at her home before her children come home from school. But not long after arriving, Mickey feels uncomfortable as ‘Jill’ seems more intent on finding out where the Doctor is than sharing any useful information. His concerns are born out when the ‘children’ arrive home. ‘Jill’ is actually Jillonga and her children (Yanta and Slopp) are aliens from the planet Wolanga that have travelled to Earth, (a journey taking sixty years), to avenge the death of her husband Bloodgrunge, a Trimestrian Warlord, killed by one of his own traps meant for the Doctor. Mickey tries to escape but the house itself is a spaceship and is readied for take off with Mickey onboard being held hostage until he reveals the whereabouts of the Doctor. Discovered hiding in the bedroom by the children, Mickey persuades the playful and excitable children to play a new game Airlock Runner, a game involving one person leaving in the airlock while the others wait in turn for a knock on the door signalling their go! Showing them how its played Mickey goes first and as the children wait for the knock on the door, and the ship takes off, Jillonga’s howl of rage is heard echoing through the ship.
