Chapter 26 -- Gotta Go
About an hour, Kyra came back downstairs. The Doctor was waiting on the steps.
"You are so lucky I'm the only one that noticed the blue call-box outside the bloody window."
He grinned. "You really didn't expect me to miss that, did you?"
"And look at that," Angela said, coming out the door. "All in one piece, even."
"Really funky," Kyra added. "We gotta go. There's a time limit."
"Thirty hours, I think you'll be fine."
"And if it's not gone, we're gonna bloody well come back so they can get rid of it," Kyra put in. "This is weird."
"Well, thank you, Miss Steinbrunner," he said.
"Good luck," she said. "I think we're all rooting for you."
"Thank you. Oh, and watch out for your ex-husband."
"Spy," Kyra said in an undertone.
"Believe me, I always watch out for that piece of shit," she said. She touched Kyra's arm. "Be careful."
"Yeah. Thank you, ma'am. Gotta go."
"So impatient."
"You're the one sayin' we're pressed for time. What was that, two hours ago?"
