"Please." The Doctor only laughs and they all enter the room.
"Glad youse could join us. The boss would like a word. I understand you's been asking questions." The man, who looks like a gangster, says.
The next thing Celestia knows is that she, The Doctor, and Glory are thrown into cell.
"Mr Chaney's too busy to see youse now but he says he might drop by a little later." The man that got them says.
"That's very nice of Mr Chaney. Could you remove the blindfolds now? We promise not to peep." The Doctor says.
"Well, er, okay." The man says as he moves over to remove blindfolds.
"Would it be too much to ask why you've brought us here?" Celestia asks.
"That's secret. All I know is I have to bring in anyone sniffing around the Professor." The man says.
"Remind me not to entrust you with any of my secrets." The Doctor says.
"You rarely entrust people with your secrets." Celestia remarks.
"Well, that's right." The Doctor says.
"Professor Stepashin?" Glory says.
"Er, well, I'm not allowed to say." The man says.
"No, Miss Bee, it could be any of a number of kidnapped Professors, isn't that right, Mr?" The Doctor asks the man.
"Ellis." He introduces himself.
"Like the island." Celestia remarks, making Ellis laugh.
"Yeah, yeah. That's what they call me." Ellis says.
"I can't think why." The Doctor says.
"Yeah. Hey, you two talk too much." Ellis says to the Time Lords.
"So we're told." Celestia says.
"Well, don't let us keep you." The Doctor says.
"Er, Hey, a word of advice. When you meet the boss, don't make no cracks about his mug. It upsets him. And when he gets upset he gets angry." Ellis warns them.
"Thank you very much, we'll bear that in mind. Toodle-oo." The Doctor says.
"Er, right." Ellis says, walking off, metal door swung, and closed.
"You think these mobsters have my uncle?" Glory asks to The Doctor.
"Seems likely, don't you think? At the very least they're involved, but the question is why?" The Doctor questions.
"It's a wicked world, Doc. There's plenty of people who'd like to get their hands on what's inside my uncle's head." Glory says.
"Mm. Well, no sense in hanging round here, we'll find out an awful lot more once we're mobile again." The Doctor says.
"Besides, we've got to find Charley." Celestia says.
"Maybe they're holding her here too." Glory guesses.
"I wouldn't mind having another look inside that hotel, though." The Doctor says.
"You think she's there?" Glory asks.
"Possibly. I'd also like to try one of their sidecars. I've a weakness for Manhattan cocktails." The Doctor says.
"Drinking on the job, Doctor?" Celestia says, trying to sound disappointed. "That's very unlike you."
"Hush you." The Doctor says, smiling to himself.
"You're forgetting something." Glory says.
"I am?" The Doctor asks.
