"You'd like that?" The Doctor asks, surprised.
"Of course."
"I'll definitely remember that." The Doctor grins.
"You better." She teases him.
The Doctor is searching through papers. Celestia fell asleep because she hasn't sleep for a very long time. Her head is in The Doctor's lap as he tries to find something useful in the papers. Charley yawns.
"Doctor?" Charley asks.
"Good morning." The Doctor says.
"What time is it?" She asks.
"No idea. Look at this." The Doctor says as he
passes the paper.
"Where's?" Charley is about to ask but The Doctor interrupts.
"She had to go. I've arranged another meeting." He explains.
"And Celestia?"
"Well, actually she was looking through the papers with me but she fell asleep half an hour ago. If you can be a bit quiet, I'd appreciate that."
"Oh Doctor, it's six AM. Don't you ever sleep?" Charley questions.
"Once in a while. Look." He says as both he and Charley check through papers.
"Wh, what are they?" Charley questions, still very sleepy.
"Halliday's notes. He was onto something." The Doctor exclaims.
"The Excelsior? That's the hotel where Glory's uncle..."
"Was staying, yes, or not staying according to the management. Halliday'd been down there to check things out, and" The Doctor is interrupted by the banging on door. Celestia jerks away as well.
"Police! Open up!" The cop from outside says.
"Police?" The Doctor questions. "And good morning, dear."
"Good morning, my sweetheart." She yawns.
"Oh Lor'! Halliday's body. It must have been found by now." Charley exclaims.
"I forgot about that. We'd better scarper." The Doctor says.
"How?" Charley questions as The Doctor gets up and opens the window.
"Down there." The Doctor looks down.
"Are you mad?" Charley questions.
"It's only two floors." The Doctor says as the banging on door continues.
"This is the police. Open this door." The cop says again.
"I got this." Celestia gets up as well, focusing her energy on the door as she whispers something in her own native language. "There." Celestia exclaims. "He can't get in while we're still here."
"You're brilliant." The Doctor comes to her side and kisses the top of her head.
"Learned from the best." Celestia grins. "We can use the fire escape." She points out.
"After you two?" Charley asks.
"Very well." The Doctor says as he leads the way, Celestia and Charley follow closely.
"Right. The Excelsior Hotel?" Charley asks when they're out of the building.
"Indeed. The trouble is there's no address in Halliday's papers." The Doctor says.
"Oh, I'm not feeling my best at the moment." Celestia says.
"When we get to The Tardis, you're going straight to bed, alright?" The Doctor looks at her seriously, taking her hand.
