Chapter 9

Greystark Hall, Girl's Room, night

Amy walks inside and sees stuffed animals on the bed, a mobile hanging from the light and framed photographs on the bureau. All of them are of the girl at various ages. One hidden in the back catches Amy's eye. She picks it up. It is her holding a baby.

"How? How can that be me?" She puts the picture down with shaking hands and turns just as the astronaut enters the room. "Who are you? I don't understand, so just tell me who you are!" The astronaut lifts the visor and it is still the girl. The inner visor is cracked from the bullet when Amy shot her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shoot you. I'm glad I missed. But you killed The Doctor. You're going to kill him. But who are you? Just please tell me, because I don't understand!"

"Please help me. Help me, please."

Two of the creatures enter the room. Amy screams and the door slams shut.

Greystark Hall, Renfrew's Office, night

There is a thumping and Renfrew goes to answer the door. He opens it a crack and speaks to the person outside. "It's just some questions. Yes, I see." He closes the door and sits back down.

"Who was that? Doctor Renfrew? Who was that?" Canton asks.

"Who was who?"

Canton walks to the door but stops when it opens and a Creature enters. "What are you? You can tell me." He activates his recorder. "Cause I won't remember. You invaded us. You're everywhere."

"Help me! Canton, please will you help me?!" Amy's voice is distant.

"Are you armed?"

"This world is ours. We have ruled it since the wheel and the fire. We have no need of weapons," the Creature says.

"Yeah?" He takes out his revolver and shoots it three times. "Welcome to America." He heads down the hall. "Amy!"

Oval Office, night

Nixon is sitting and his desk and the Doctor is walking to the TARDIS. "You have to tape everything that happens in this office, every word, or we won't know if you're under the influence."

"Doctor, you have to give me more than this. What were you doing to Apollo 11?" asks Nixon.

"A thing. A clever thing. No more questions. You have to trust me and nobody else."

River opens the TARDIS door. "Doctor, it's Canton! Quick, he needs us!" The Doctor runs into the TARDIS and it dematerializes.
