Chris McKeon DOCTOR WHO: THE WOUNDED EARTH Benton cleared his throat from where he stood behind his desk. ‘Actually, Doc, I’m all right. That android duplicate only gave a good knock on the head, that’s all.’ The Doctor turned to see Benton, and nodded. ‘Ah…so you survived, Benton. And you’ve been promoted again to Second Lieutenant, I see – Second Lieutenant! That’s far too many syllables to pronounce in a crisis. I should just call you Sergeant. That’s much easier to say.’ ‘Now, really, Doctor,’ the Brigadier objected, ‘for respect of rank.’ ‘It’s all right, sir,’ Benton politely interjected, hoping to avoid any wounding confrontation between the Doctor and the Brigadier. ‘The Doctor can call me whatever he feels best.’ ‘Very good,’ the Doctor replied. ‘We all deserve to be called only what we’re worth.’ The Doctor walked forward a few paces to observe the architecture, and then turned to Benton once more. ‘But it’s good to know you’re all right, Second Lieutenant.’ Benton felt a warm smile spread on his face as he watched the Doctor put his hands in his pockets and stand for a moment. Then the Time Lord turned to Lethbridge-Stewart and nodded briefly. ‘And you, too, Brigadier.’ Lethbridge-Stewart relaxed and nodded in reply. ‘Likewise, Doctor, as always. I take it Miss Smith is still with you’ ‘Of course, Brigadier,’ came Sarah’s voice from within the TARDIS doorway. ‘We’re inseparable!’ PAGE 12
Chris McKeon DOCTOR WHO: THE WOUNDED EARTH Sarah Jane Smith, wearing a light yellow summer dress, stepped out of the TARDIS with a beaming smile. She spotted Benton and smiled, exhaling a grateful sigh. ‘Oh, Mr. Benton, you’ve idea how I’ve worried about you since those androids invaded!’ Benton returned the smile and walked around to the front of the desk to shake Sarah Jane’s hand. ‘It’ll take a lot more than another bloke with my face to put me out of service, Miss.’ ‘But what happened to you How did you escape’ ‘It’s a funny story, that. Some of the boys found me in a broom cupboard -’ ‘As amusing that story is, I’m sure, Mr. Benton, we have more pressing matters to discuss,’ the Brigadier interrupted. ‘Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.’ But the faint smile on Benton’s smile communicated he would find time to tell his friend the whole story later. The Brigadier ignored the conspiring smiles and continued. ‘Now, Doctor. As you know, I have been called away from Great Britain for some time now. Before I left I realised the dangers of leaving my UNIT branch understaffed, so I left Mister Benton to help oversee operations there in case of trouble, which, sadly, is exactly what happened.’ ‘More than once,’ the Doctor interjected, ‘but Sarah and I managed to solve your problems, as usual.’ ‘Didn’t we though’ Sarah Jane added. ‘We even managed to thwart the Pescaton invasion. I’d be interested to learn what D-Notice cover-up you devised you that one, Brigadier.’ PAGE 13
