The Doctor screeched in pain, holding onto his leg. His knee was no longer there, the bone disintegrated  by the heat of the laser. He was on the ground now, crying out loudly. The footsteps of guards coming were even quicker now, hearing the painful cries of their master and wanting to be by his side.<br/><br/>The panther growled, taking her gun back and baring her teeth. "We don't have time for this! Leave the fox here, we need to get going!" She grabbed Jared by the arm, digging her claws into his flesh and pulling him along.<br/><br/>Sophia stayed put, looking at the two of them painfully. She nodded at the panther, speaking once again. "Please get him out safely. And... Take care." She turned around and approached the Doctor, ears high and tail out, confident. She knelt in front of him and took his hand, placing the other one at her neck, claws out and ready to swipe if need be. The guards arrived at that moment, coming to a halt when they saw the Doctor and his condition. Sophia spoke, trying to make her tone commanding. "Let my friends leave peacefully or else the Doctor dies."<br/><br/>The Doctor grunted, nodding his head, "Stand down, stand down!" His teeth were clenched together in pain, "Contain the dogs in the observation wing and let these two and their team go. The city will catch them. And the fox isn't a threat."<br/><br/>Sophia looked at Jared, begging him to go. Promising him that she would be alright.
