Rick and Kate opened the door to the loft and ushered the Doctor in then closed the door as the Doctor having the same tendencies of Rick's to touch and feel everything while giving a running commentary. Rick moved over to the large screen then looked at the list of DVD's. Thinking something better he grabbed the controller as the Doctor was about to pick it up.
"Oh So sorry" Rick said scrolling though the listings on the DVR. Finally he saw one he liked.
"This is one you have to see! It is all about your death!" Rick said excitedly.
"My death?" The Doctor inquired.
"Yes but you get out of it some how. It is called the Impossible Astronaut." Rick said.
"Oh I am very interested in this!" The Doctor exclaimed.
Rick switched on the video and Kate came in with pop corn.
"Thank you Kate" the Doctor said grabbing a handful as he was engrossed in the video.
"Oh…! That was not very sporting!" The Doctor said seeing him being killed.
Then the scene in the diner where he reappears is shown.
"Oh yes I remember that" The Doctor said unconsciously touching his face which was slapped by Melody.
"Yes I definitely deserved that!" The Doctor uttered.
Soon the story was over then Rick was bringing up the lights.
"So what do you think?" Rick asked.
"Well I have to admit the actor which they found sure act and looked very much like me" The Doctor readily admitted.
"Really…? I thought you are more handsome than him" Kate said.
"Well of course I am because…because I am the Doctor not some actor!" The Doctor retorted.
"What about the story line? Is it close?" Rick asked.
"Well I do not rightly know I would have to consult my diary." The Doctor said.
Both Rick and Kate looked at the Doctor for an explanation.
"Time does not work the same with me as with you. Since, I remember the future and not the past. So I have to write it down in my diary so that I can see it new again." The Doctor said.
"Writing down? Why don't you have some sort of recording devices?" Rick asked.
"Not that work all the time. I mean I can record myself on a video playback but then forget how to operate it. That does get to be a bother." The Doctor confided.
"Well Doctor you are welcomed to stay I do have a guest room and you are most welcomed to stay." Rick repeated the offer hoping the Time Lord would accept.
"No I do appreciate the offer but I need to get back to the TARDIS. She worries about me if I stay away too long." The Doctor said.
"She keeps you on a short leash?" Rick quipped.
"I suppose one could say that but I have had a wonderful evening but I must say my farewells." The doctor said getting wrapped up in the garments to resist the cold.
The Doctor opened the door only as Alexis was about to enter.
The Fan girl in her made her scream!
The Doctor was flustered he had never had a female do that to him. But if he was thinking he would have known it was about to happen.
"I do not think that is necessary" the Doctor said.
Rick hearing his daughter's screams he rushed forward only to stop when he saw Alexis wanting his autograph for her collection.
"I can not believe my Father Knows Matt Smith!" Alexis said.
The Doctor was puzzled for a moment then said.
"Oh you mean the Actor I am not him!" The Doctor professed.
"Wait…you are not? You sure look like him but as I look at you. You are right. You are not Matt Smith! I am so sorry! So can I have your name?" Alexis said.
"I am called the Doctor." The Doctor said.
"Wait…you call yourself the Doctor?" Alexis asked.
"No I do not call myself anything. Others call me the Doctor." The Doctor retorted.
Rick seeing a confrontation brewing stepped in to usher Alexis away from the Doctor.
"Nice to meet you Doctor..." Alexis said.
"Likewise Alexis Castle..." The doctor said as he turned to walk away.
Rick quickly closed the door.
"Dad what is going on here?" Alexis asked with her laser like eyes directly at him.
Kate seeing an exit moved away to the bedroom.
"Coward" Rick yelled at her. "He is your friend!"
Kate was to be heard chortling in the background.
Rick turned around to face his daughter.
"Alexis it is like this…er…That was the real the Doctor." Rick stammered.
"The real Doctor…? The Time Lord… the one who fights the Daleks? That person is him?" Alexis asked with incredulity flexing in her voice.
"Yeah at first I did not believe it. But he is Kate's friend." Rick protested.
"And I suppose he came in a TARDIS?" Alexis asked still full of suspicions that her father was trying to pull something on her.
"Yeah he did and it is parked at the St. George's Pub near Kate's apt!" Rick implored with his eyes to hope his daughter would believe him.
Finally Kate had laughed herself out then opened the door only be confronted by a very suspicious Alexis.
"So he says the Doctor is your friend?" Alexis asked the brunette who was still recovering after pointing at her Father who was giving Kate such sad puppy dog eyes.
"He is an old family friend but to change the subject what did the shoes reveal?" Kate said thinking fast.
Alexis and Rick almost got whiplash on how fast Kate changed the subject.
"Oh did you not get the report?" Alexis asked.
"No, I have been sort of busy lately. What did it say?" Kate asked.
You were right the shoes did have all sorts of organic material at least 7 different profiles but they were too degraded to be much use in putting away Bracken. Alexis said.
"Well it was a long shot" Kate said as Rick wrapped her in his arms to console her.
"I'm so sorry Kate" he murmured in her hair.
"Wait I did not get to the good part. We have a DNA profile from the Shoe laces. It was well preserved too." Alexis said excitedly.
"Well Pumpkin, don't hold back whose was it?" Rick implored his daughter to be not so cruel in her pause.
"It was matched to someone in NYPD. It was matched to you Kate it was a 50% match." Alexis said.
Kate looked dumbfounded.
"If we had a real sample from someone close to you perhaps we can match it 100 percent." Alexis said.
Kate's eyes opened wide.
"I know exactly the sample you need!" Kate said breaking the lock of Rick arms she rushed to her phone to call her Dad.
"Hey Dad it is me! Yeah listen Dad do you still have your wedding album here in the city?" Kate asked then listened to his reply.
"No Dad. I'm not planning a wedding at least not yet. But it is important. The Album…?" Kate asked again.
"Good can you bring it by the loft? Excellent I will see you here." Kate said hanging up the phone.
Both Rick and Alexis were curious on what could be in that Album.
A few minutes later the door bell rang. Kate rushed to open the door then hugged her father while Rick was one arm hugging Alexis looking on.
"So Katie Bear what is so important that you had to have this old album right away?" Jim asked after greeting both Rick and Alexis.
"It is important to have a continuity of custody." Kate said as she went into her jacket then produced an evidence bag.
"Katie…? What is this for?" Jim asked.
"Mr. Beckett?" Alexis started to say.
"Alexis we are almost family please call me Jim" Jim said.
"Ok well there is an unknown DNA sample which matches 50% on Kate. She said she knew of a sample where this could be matched to the unknown sample." Alexis explained.
Kate turned to the right page and on it were several long strands of hair caught in the binding.
Kate pulled out tweeters and coaxed the hairs into the open pouch then she sealed it and wrote the case number then gave it to Alexis to give to Lanie in the morning.
"There all done!" Kate said.
"Katie, how did you know that was there?" Jim asked being totally flabbergasted.
"Dad I'm a detective! I notice things. Plus I remember when Mom was putting it together." Kate said.
"Thanks goodness for your great memory. I had all but forgotten about it." Jim said.
"Jim it is cold out would you like to spend the night? It is after 10." Rick asked glad the Doctor had refused his hospitality.
"Thank you Rick I will gladly take you up on that offer. Since, I was heading to the cabin in the morning." Jim said.
Alexis swung into action and placed Jim in the guest room leaving both Kate and Rick in the living room.
"Babe this could be it! Our way to get Bracken!" Rick said.
"I know now it is all up to Alexis to maintain Custody. Then no Lawyer can contest these results!" Kate said. "I'm tired Rick let's go to bed."
Kate now climbed on to Rick then claimed his lips. Rick put his hands under her to hold her up then together they entered the bedroom.
