Rose started off leading the way but eventually Harold got in front of her. It almost seemed like he was starting to get a bit excited by the whole thing. She just hoped that nothing popped out at him as he wasn't the one who had the gun. Which made her think of Dean and if he was still behind them or not. Before Rose got a chance to look back and check they found the end of the trail.

Rose walked in the room after Harold and saw the body. She took a step back at first as she never could get use to seeing a dead body; though these days with Torchwood she saw dead bodies more often.

"Poor bloke." Rose had to look away for a moment. Instead of returning her eyes back to the body she started to look around the room for any clues. "Wonder what happened..."

Rose's comment, the feel of her suddenly behind him, shook the Master out of his thoughts violently. He was getting lost in this place, it seemed; lost in the atmosphere of imminent doom, lost in the presence of one insignificant death, lost in the lonely echoes of a dented watering can.

Not really a dent so much as a hole.

He had no real feeling for the man, nor any empathetic or moralistic need to solve his apparent murder. He was only interested insofar as it might aid him in avoiding whatever fate the gardener had met. Still, he nodded.

"Yes. It's... it's too bad we weren't here to save him in time." Oh, he was laying it on thick. However, it made the small interims between the moments of panic much more enjoyable.

He looked at her speculatively. "What do you think happened?" Earth women liked when you asked them for their opinion, or so he'd been told. Then again, Lucy had told him that.

[[OOC: moving down to Lucy's tag-- join us! :)]]

Lucy followed the sound of the clang up some stairs. There was a trail of blood leading up the steps. It was pretty.

There was an open door at the top. She could see a girl and a man. She peered through the doorway. That was... no it couldn't be...

Harry?

Lucy quickly put her hand over her mouth to stifle the gasp. She tried to hide as best she could in the doorway. She wanted to run, but her feet refused to co-operate

Almost as soon as he'd thought of Lucy, he felt another presence join them.

Speak of the devil. The Master slowly turned his head to find the second blonde cowering in the doorway, wearing a ghastly orange jumpsuit-- UNIT issue, from the look of it, and he mentally shuddered.

She looked dishevelled, small, and didn't appear to be armed this time around. He had to chuckle a little, trying to cover it with a small cough for Rose's benefit. "Lucy? Is that really you?" He strode towards her, beaming, arms outstretched as if for a welcoming embrace. "Feels like... lifetimes since I last saw you!" There was the bare hint of an ironic, unhealthy gleam in his eye, but beyond that his performance would have been flawless.

Lucy shakes her head violently, she takes a step back. Her throat suddenly feels like it's been lined in sandpaper.

"No," she says aloud forcing the words out. "It's not you. Not really you."

Gwen had separated herself from her earlier group (against her better judgment) to follow the trail of blood. She had drawn her gun, not sure what to expect to find at the end of the blood trail as she stepped up to the top of the stairs.

A body she expected, sure. She sure didn't expect the group she sees, consisting of a doppelganger of a supposedly dead ex-PM, his wife, and a blonde girl that by all accounts is Rose Tyler. She's already bumped into two of the Doctor's companions. Maybe it's her lucky day. But two people that look disturbingly like Harold and Lucy Saxon? Yeah, that's weird.

She stood behind Lucy, suspecting she walked in on an awkward moment. She cleared her throat hesitantly.

"Sorry to interrupt, but have you lot seen a dead body?" she asked.
