THREE

THE MURDER OF ANTOINETTE

Rose got changed in her pajamas in the bathroom, they were silky pink, and she had got them from a shop a while back. She also had a silky pink nightgown to go with it.

"You look nice," said the Doctor

"Thanks" said Rose smiling then she threw herself down on the king-size bed "This is bliss"

The Doctor grinned "Only the best"

Rose turned round and smiled and she climbed underneath the covers, the Doctor got in his own bed and they both looked at each other from underneath the blankets. Rose suddenly fell asleep. The Doctor smiled at her and then turned round, he closed his eyes but didn't go off to sleep. Suddenly there was a loud scream that woke the Doctor up, he got out of bed and rushed of to Rose's bed. He tapped her awake. Rose woke up "Doctor what's wrong"

"There was a scream," said the Doctor "Let's check it out"

Rose nodded she got out of bed and put her slippers on, she held onto the Doctor's arms as they walked downstairs, it was long till they saw the disturbance, a customer, she looked like a very rich woman with long black hair and brown eyes, she was wearing a posh purple fur nightie.

"Oh my lord, oh my lord" she cried, her hands to her mouth, everybody seemed to be coming out their rooms and staring at the woman. Then they all gasped, lying down at the ladies feet was a dead body of Antoinette.

"What happened her" whispered Rose

The Doctor went over to the woman "What happened"

The woman was very white "I needed to go to the toilet, but my toilet was broken, so I came downstairs with a torch, then I saw her, just lying there, the shock was so bad I screamed"

The Doctor put his arm round her "It's ok"

"Ok" squealed the woman "There's a dead body, this is murder"

"Everybody back to your rooms" ordered the Doctor "Rose you take this lady to her room, make her a cup of hot tea and then come back to me understood"

Rose nodded "Come on" she said and she held the lady underneath her arm and said, "What number is your room"

"1012" chocked the woman, Rose led her into her room, sat her down on her leather sofa and started making her a cup of hot tea "Good things tea, they really make you feel better, do you want milk and sugars"

The lady nodded, Rose put them in and handed it to her "Here you go nice and warm"

"Thank you" she said

"I've got to go back and visit that man I was with" said Rose and she gave the woman a big hug "You'll be ok, just remember it wasn't your fault"

The woman gave Rose watery smile and nodded, as she drank her tea, Rose went downstairs and to the Doctor, he crouching over the dead body, examining her with his sonic screwdriver.

"It's definitely a murder or a suicide" said the Doctor

"What happened to her" said Rose

"Stabbed" said the Doctor "So it's either she got killed or killed herself, not by accident"

"You mean there is a murderer in this building" said Rose

"Seems likely" said the Doctor

"Doctor this is making me feel chilly, we could wind up dead the next morning"

"No we're not" said the Doctor "We are going to find that victim and we are not going to sleep"
