The Doctor, who had still been looking closely at the maps, pointed at a spot on the map as the phone began to ring.
"Here," he said "this is the only place in the Untied States that call could be coming from. It's obvious when you think about it."
"you, Sir," Canton said "are a genius."
"It's a hobby," the Doctor replied "Mr President, answer the phone, tell her help is on the way. Canton, on no account follow me into this box and close the door behind you." The Doctor launched himself towards the TARDIS, Rory, Amy, River and Oswin hot on his heels. Canton followed them into the TARDIS as the President picked up the receiver.
"Jefferson isn't a girls name. It's not her name either," the Doctor said "Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton."
"Surnames of three of the founding fathers." River said.
"Lovely fellows," the Doctor said absently "two of them fancied me."
Rory walked over to Canton, who was staring around the console room with amazement. "are you okay? Coping?"
"It's bigger on the inside." Canton said.
"Yeah," Rory said sympathetically "you get used to it."
The Doctor walked quickly around the console "The President asked the child two questions: where are you and who are you? She was answering where not who."
"Where would you find three, big historical names in a row like that?" Oswin asked.
"Here." the Doctor said. He walked passed Canton, who was still staring around the room.
"Are you taking care of this?" he asked Rory, walking away before Rory could protest.
"Why me?" Rory said.
"Because you're the newest," Amy said "And can you really see River or Oswin explaining this?"
"Fair enough." Rory said.
Amy and River walked passed them, following the Doctor. As Oswin went passed she gave Canton an amused smile, clapped Rory on the shoulder and whispered "Good luck with this, Roman."
The TARDIS had materialized in a cluttered, dingy office.
"Where are we?" Amy asked.
"About five miles from Cape Kennedy Space Centre. The President asked the girl where she was, and she did what any scared, lost little girl would do." The Doctor said. As he spoke he began to riffle through paper work on the untidy desk.
"What would any scared, lost little girl do?" Amy asked.
"Been there, done that," Oswin said, walking over to the window and parting the blinds "She looked out of the window. Hamilton Avenue, Jefferson Street, Adams Street. The only place in Florida, probably all of America, with those three street names on the same junction." She turned away from the window, becoming very interested in the phone on the desk.
Rory and Canton emerged from the TARDIS.
"We've moved, how can we have moved?" Canton said.
"You haven't covered space travel?" the Doctor said.
"I was going to cover it with time travel." Rory said defensively.
Oswin strode towards the TARDIS, stopping in front of Canton "It's a box that's bigger on the inside and travels through time and space." she said.
"Ok." Canton replied calmly. Oswin walked back into the TARDIS, emerging within a minute.
"Has anyone seen my eye drive?" she asked the room at large.
"Your what?" the Doctor asked.
"Eye drive," Oswin repeated. When she saw confused faces staring back at her she pointed at her eye and added "The eye patch. I left it on the console when I took it off," still seeing blank, confused expressions she closed the TARDIS door. "I'll look for it later."
"Right," the Doctor said "The little girl, lets find her." They followed the Doctor as he left the office.
"So it's a warehouse," Oswin said "Obviously disused. And of course this is certainly a trap."
"How do you know that?" Canton asked.
"The Phone in the office," Oswin said as she walked ahead of them "It was cut off. So how could the child phone from here?"
Rory caught up with River and Amy "She sounds a lot like the Doctor." he said.
"Occupational hazard." Amy said.
"Aderyn sounds like the Doctor, follows his train of thought. It's a good thing if Oswin sounds like the Doctor. That means there's some of Aderyn in there still." River said.
"Doctor, why would anyone want to trap us?" Amy asked.
"Well, let's see if anyone tried to kill us and work backwards." he said.
Oswin peered around an open doorway she had just walked through, smiling broadly "You guys have to see this."
Oswin had stumbled across a tilted operating table. There were tubes and cables attached to it and several of the components were definitely organic. And there were stacks of large crates and boxes scattered through out the room.
"It's non terrestrial." Oswin said.
"What do you mean non terrestrial?" Canton asked, following the path they had taken, but struggling to follow what was actually happening.
"Definitely alien," Oswin said "Not even from this time zone."
"Which is odd," the Doctor rummaged through a box and pulled out a helmet "Because look at this."
"It's earth tech," River said, looking at the helmet that had clearly come from an Apollo space suit "Contemporary"
"Very contemporary. Cutting edge. This is from the space programme." the Doctor said.
"Stolen?" Rory said "By aliens?"
"Probably." the Doctor replied, putting the helmet on.
"That makes no sense." Oswin said, frowning at the Doctor.
"She's right," River said "If you can come to Earth, then why steal technology that can barely make it to the moon?"
"Maybe cos it's cooler," the Doctor's reply was muffled. Oswin walked up to him and lifted the visor "Look how cool this stuff is." he said excitedly.
"cool Aliens?" Amy laughed.
"Well what would you call me?" the Doctor said, trying not to sound too offended.
"An alien." Oswin said, closing the visor.
"Oi!" the Doctor tried to sound as annoyed as he could, but behind the visor he was smiling.
"So, Canton," he said, removing the helmet "How are you coping?"
"I like your wheels." Canton said.
"That's my boy," the Doctor smiled "Right, Oswin, be on the look out. I'd rather not be taken by surprise."
Oswin ignored the gun at her hip, instead drawing a smaller, yet deadlier looking gun from a pocket inside her coat. Canton stared at her. "How many weapons do you have?" he asked.
Oswin paused, mentally counting "Only about four or five on me. But there's a few more back in the TARDIS."
"How are you hiding them?" Canton asked. Aside from the one at her hip and the one she held, he could not see any other weapons.
"Never trust a girl with pockets." She said cheerfully.
