After a nice discussion with Sarah Jane over his newfangled communication device, Benton headed out, with the end intent of finding her house. First he stopped in a pub for a pint, which he obtained rather easily, and only with a few long looks at his uniform from the regular patrons. Shocked at how much the drink cost him, he then took the change and very mild manneredly bought himself a newspaper. It summarily told him that many Indonesians had survived a plane crash, the world was at war with Iraq (or maybe it was just the Americans), incest was being contested in Germany and that it was March 7th, 2007. And that suited him just fine.
From there, he asked a store clerk for directions and went walking, hoping he'd be able to catch a lift or find his way to Sarah Jane's on foot. The sun was shining, the cars were fantastic although he was a little cold, he was more or less happy. At least he had orders and a place to head, and if nothing else, he could tune back into his communications device and see if anyone was still around.
Still, it was proving to be a long walk, and he was a bit lonely. And hungry.
