The squashed themselves into the security room, each staring at the monitors, trying to see if the creature was anywhere to be seen. None of them noticed Rita leave the room until she appeared on one of the monitors. The Doctor snatched up a phone and dialled. Rita stopped walking and looked at a door. She went into the room.
"Rita?" the Doctor said "Where are you going? Can you take the phone into the corridor? Will it reach?" Rita appeared on the monitor again, looking directly into the security camera. Aderyn took the Doctor's sonic screwdriver out of his pocket and aimed it at the phone making both sides of the conversation audible to everyone in the room.
"I started to praise him." Rita said. Aderyn held her breath. She had prayed she had more time.
"We'll find a way to stop it, I swear to you. I am an otter's toenail away from saving us all." The Doctor said. Aderyn rolled her eyes.
"That's quite the God complex you have. But no, I need to get as far away from you all as possible." Rita said calmly.
Aderyn snatched the phone from the Doctor "I'm coming to get you." She said.
"Don't. The hotel will keep us apart. I could be fifty miles away by now." But Aderyn missed Rita's protests. She had already darted from the room. She'd seen the door numbers on the corridor and knew where to find Rita. But getting there was proving near impossible. The hotel really as trying to keep them apart. She'd ducked into three rooms to trick the hotel but it was taking too long. by the time to got to the right corridor it felt like she had been running for hours. She saw Rita stood in front of her, arms low but outstretched. She could see the creature approaching from the other end of the corridor. With little effort she pushed for one last burst of speed and was able to reach Rita first. She grabbed Rita's wrist and started to pull her along behind her "Run!" she shouted.
She some how managed to get a head start and pulled Rita into one of the rooms. She clamped her hand over Rita's mouth and walked uncertainly backwards to the phone. She picked it up and pressed random buttons until it rang and the Doctor answered.
"Where are you?" He said.
"Room 311. This is the only time I'm going to ask. Doctor, I need your help. I need you to come and get me." And she put the phone down before she could feel too guilty about asking for help. She should have been able to get them out of this. Rita squirmed and fought against her, her constant worships muffled by Aderyn's hand. But Aderyn was quickly loosing her temper. A carefully aimed thwack with a light table lamp rendered Rita unconcious and blissfully still alive. If she wasn't awake she couldn't praise him. She heard the creature's footsteps go passed the door. She then heard a high pitched whine and knew that the Doctor was somehow using the sonic screwdriver to ditract it. She didn't dare open the door and see if the coast was clear. Though she had no need to do that. The door was soon thrown open by the Doctor. He looked at Rita with concern.
