Again the Doctor woke up with an incredible headache. He felt his body struggle with the remains of the sedative Rhymes had given him.

He felt weak and had an stomach ache.

After a while he felt good enough to sit up. To his suprise he wasn't restrained this time. He took the glass of water which was standing on the bedside table and sniffed it. He couldn't smell anything so the water seemed to be okay. He drank it down in one move, he had been sothirsty!

He was back in his hospital room, the same room he had woken up to after they had kidnapped him.

Carefully, he stood up to look around. His clothes were still on the chair in the corner, but somebody had washed them and folded them together. His bowtie lay ontop of them. He tried to open the door and window,but of course, they were locked. He even tried to bring the door downby force, which only caused him a hurting shoulder and a shout from the guards outside to „fucking stop making so much noise."

Damn it!", he swore. „I need to think of a different way."

He gave up his plan to escape through the door and instead decided to put his normal clothes and shoes on. He would have to wait until someone opened that door. Even if he could crack the window open he couldn't get outside. They must've been on the 7th floor, he guessed. Even a Time Lord wouldn't survive a fall from this height.

As soon as he had fastened his bowtie around his neck he felt a bit better.

Welcome back, Doctor.", he said to himself.

Just a second later he could hear someone placing keys into the keyhole and he hurried to sit on the bed and look as weak as they had left him here. He hoped that they wouldn't mind to tie him down again and maybe, he could escape while the door wasn't locked. Which meant he had to try and overpower whoever was coming now, which wasn't actually his style, but he seemed to have no other choice.

He rolled his eyes when Rhymes entered with a dinner tray.

I saw that.", Rhymes commented and placed the tray on the bedside table.

The Doctor could see some kind of stew on the plate.

I'm not hungry, thanks.", he said with a cold smile. He tried to add as much resentment as possible into the gaze he gave Rhymes.

Well, you slept for almost 24 hours and at least you seem to be fit enough to get up. I see you went back to the roots.", he pointed at the „Prisoners clothes" as the Doctor had named them.

I like my own clothes better, thank you."., he replied.

Rhymes sat down own the chair next to the bed.

Oh, you won't leave until I have eaten, am I right?", the Doctor said, again rolling is eyes.

Your guess is correct.", Rhymes smiled. „We want you to stay strong enough for the next round of experiments."

The Doctor leaned closer to him, locking eyes with the human doctor.

I won't eat anything you offer me.", he hissed.

Well, like with everything else you can make a choice. You can have it the hard way or the easy way. I could always call the guards and get you tied back to that bed. It's not very complicated to give you an infusion instead of real food.", Rhymes gave him an amused smileas he watched the Doctor's face fall and the Time Lords anger coming back.

But this time, the Doctor decided to go on with it.

Alright, give me that plate."
A victorious grin on his face, Rhymes leaned over and handed the Doctor a spoon and the plate with the stew on it.

It's still hot.", Rhymes said with a smile.

Good.", the Doctor said, before throwing the plate and its contents right into Rhymes'face.

Sorry!", he said while jumping off the bed. „No, I'll take that back! Actually not sorry!"

He heard Rhymes'angry growl as he sprinted towards the door.

Stop him!", Rhymes shouted from behind him as the Doctor pulled the door open and faced one of the guards.

Sorry!", with one quick move he rammed his knee up into the groin of his counterpart. As the man groaned and went down on his knees the Doctor pulled a face, as if he could feel thepain too and climbed over the body of the man who was now writhing on the floor. A quick look behind told him that Rhymes had got rid of the food in his face and was now pursuing him.

Oh,dear.", he said and sprinted down the corridor. He had no idea where to go!

He could hear Rhymes shouting orders into his walkie-talkie.

Close all the exits! He's now heading for the X-Ray department!"

The Doctor could hear his own gasping breath in his ears, the faster he ran. He didn't know where to go, nor how to get away from here when he would actually made it outside the building.

He almost tripped over his own feed when the big glass doors to his leftflew open and a group of soldiers stormed in.

He made a sprint into the corridor on his right. Behind him he heard the shouts of the soldiers.

Stop! Stay right where you are!"

Yeah, you wish I did!", he murmured to himself while heading to the left. Right before him he could see more soldiers, this time they were closing the doors right in front of him, so he couldn't get through.

But this didn't stop him from running, instead of going straight onwards he went right and took a fire extinguisher from the wall before entering one of the lifts to his left.

Just as he saw Rhymes and the soldiers sprinting around the corner he the doors closed.
„No!", he heard Rhymes scream. To everyone! He's inthe lift!"

The voice got quieter as the lift took his way down. If he only could make onto the 3rd or 2nd floor he could leave through the window and get into one of trees infront of them.

His hearts were racing like crazy as the lift suddenly stopped on the 4th floor and the doors opened. He was facing three soldiers now.

There you are!", one of them said, pointing his gun at the Time Lord.

But the Doctor didn't hesitate. He aimed the fire extinguisher and pulled the lever.

Aaarrgh!", the soldiers said in union as the Doctor coated them with the white foam. „I can't see!"

Good for me!", the Doctor said, continuing his run for an exit. He could hear more footsteps coming from the right and left, so he decided toturn around and run back, into a corridor that seemed to be abandoned and not in use anymore. The thought of getting in there didn't cause him too much pleasure, but he would have one advantage in there: It was dark outside and is seemed like there were no working lights in that area. It would be easier to hide.

He could hear the doors crack open behind him and quickly, he ran into one of the rooms and hid behind one of the shelves. This seemed to have been a stocking room, where the medicine had been kept. He tried to cam down his breath, he breathing sharp and almost gasping, it was way too loud. Outside, he could hear people talking.

Are you sure he went this way?!", he heard a harsh voice. It was Slipstream's voice.

Yes, I saw him!", another voice replied.

I want you to find him! Look everywhere!", Slipstream groaled.

Yes,Sir."

The Doctor looked around, there was another door in this room, carefully and slowy he made his way for that door. As he opened it, the other door behind him got kicked open by one of the soldiers and the light of a torch filled the small room. Quickly, the Doctor rushed through the door beside him and into the next room. It seemed to be one of the nurse's station. His hearts made a little jump when he saw, that the room had a balcony.

I think I heard something!", the soldier in the other room yelled to his comrades.

Oh,no.", the Doctor gave up on his cover and made his way for the balcony door. Just as he had rushed outside the soldiers entered the room.

He's here!"

Slipstream and the soldiers stormed in and looked at the Doctor with wide eyes.

Get back here!"

Hasta la vista!", the Doctor grinned and waved to them before jumping over the railing and off the balcony.
