It had probably been some premature sense of danger that had awoken the Doctor, considering it was one of those nights where he could fall into a blissful dreamless sleep. Something was up, something had to be up.
The Doctor had tiptoed to where he knew John was sleeping and saw, to almost no surprise, the bed half empty. He felt a sense of alarm grow, and ran as quietly as he could to the console. He fetched his sonic screwdriver, psychic paper, and jacket, and took off in search of his metacrisis clone. The heat barely bothered him as he ran through the jungle, in fact he didn't even stay long enough to notice it. Only when the Time Lord heard the sound of a fire did he slow down to a halt, looking through the greenery. He took a step forward.
And stepped on a relatively crunchy branch, getting the attention of those by the fire.
Soon enough, the Doctor was face to face with one of the aliens, a smile upon his face as he tried to talk to them. Give them a chance. "Hullo." He started, glancing at the cage that held Handy. "I believe you guys have made a mistake. See, he's my friend, and it would be a really good idea if you let him go." At the last word, his tone changed from the usual happy one to a much more serious tone.
Their response? A group of aliens pointing their darts at him. His face fell, and ran, some chasing him as well.
