Sitting on the floor in the large cell, Declan MacRae sat patiently, watching the hallway through the plexiglass wall. When he heard the saw the figure coming from the far side of the hallway he got up quickly, using his strong arms to lift himself. Those same arms were pounding on the wall just a moment later, trying to get Will's attention as he passed by, hoping that Helen Magnus' protege' would be able to get him out of the cage created for one of the abnormals.
When he had caught the young blond's attention, he pointed at the keypad to the right of the door, and held up his fingers, moving them slowly to tell the doctor the code to the door. On the other side of the wall, Will said the numbers aloud, attempting to let his colleague out of was an obvious mistake. "Three, two, four, three..." Releasing him, Will wondered what had happened, and was quick to ask the British Sanctuary's director about it.
"I was checking on the Nubbin we keep in there, and just forgot that the door always closes and locks... for obvious reasons... It's a good thing you came by, the bloody thing would have eaten me if you didn't find me sooner or later..." Declan continued, with another story about the time he and Watson had tracked down a colony of Nubbins, and how much they had angered Watson when they reproduced around him at such an alarming rate.
Will couldn't help but laugh, recalling a different effect the furry creatures had on him and Ashley, but that was more than a year ago, Ashley having been lost months ago. He sighed, as he often did, when he thought off his deceased friend, wondering about what might have been between them. His memories were interrupted by Declan's heavy accent, "I'm going to get some sleep before I continue my search tonight...Thanks again for getting me out of there chap..."
Nodding in agreement, Will turned down another hallway, leaving his companion alone to wander the Sanctuary. Once he was sure the Doctor was gone, Declan shifted back into his real form, a short stocky man, with fading black hair and a scar under his chin. "Foolish boy, that was too easy. Now to escape from this place..."
