Takes place just before the episode, the beginning part where we see River's past.
***************
As usual, River was in trouble. Okay, not real trouble. More like the fun variety. After a successful trip shopping at the black market, she had picked up her vortex manipulator and the alien tech she had been looking for. Now she was running. Apparently, flirting with someone that had a deadly assassin for a wife wasn’t a good thing. Hey, it got her a discount on the tech. What was a little grab between buyer and seller.
Quickly, she ducked down into an alley and slid to the ground, panting slightly. Closing her eyes, she leaned her head back against the wall. Of course she was on her own. God forbid he show up when she needed him. Bloody pain in the arse of a man. Yet sometimes, she really wished he was here.
“Stupid manipulator. Couldn’t have it ready,” she whispered to herself. “What type of tech needs 12 bloody hours to charge.” She shook her head and peeked out of the alley. She didn’t hear anything, but that didn’t mean they weren’t right around the corner. “Doctor, I really wish you were here,” she whispered.
