THE LODGER
P A R T T H R E E

CRAIG RUSHED INTO THE BUILDING , late for work.

I sat on the edge of the doctors desk as he popped up from under the desk right where Michael and Craig were currently standing, next to me.

He had on a headset and was currently speaking to a customer.

"I think that's not what my screen is telling me, Mr. Lang." He spoke

"What's he doing here? What are you doing here?" Craig asked

"If that's your attitude, Mr. Lang, please take your custom elsewhere."

"No, no, no, that's one of my best clients!" Craig shouted.

"Craig, how are you feeling? Had some time to kill, I was curious, never worked in an office.Never worked anywhere." The Doctor said

"You two are insane!" Craig shouted at the both of us.

"Leave off the Doctor and Alex , I love the Doctor and Alex . She was amazing in the planning meeting." Michael Said .

"You went to the planning meeting?" Craig asked Me.

"Yeah, I was your representative, don't worry, I didn't mess it up like the doctor would."

"We don't need Mr. Lang anymore." The Doctor told him. "Rude Mr. Lang."

"Here you go, and I found some custard creams!" Sophie said as she placed a plate on the desk, along with a cup of tea for the doctor and more coffee for me

"Sophie, my hero." The doctor said

"Hi Craig, I went on the web, applied for a wildlife charity thing. They said I could always start as a volunteer straight away. Should I do it?" Sophie asked Craig .

"Yeah, great, yeah, good, go for it." Craig answer

"You look awful. About turn! Bed, Now. Who next?"

I looked at Craig and smiled

"Get to bed, your job will be here tomorrow."

He shook his head and Left.

The Doctor goes back to work as I get out my phone, responding to emails unit have sent me.

"Oh, yes. Hello, Mr. Joergensen. Can you hold? I have to eat a biscuit." The Doctor says.

After our long day at work we finally make it home, I went through the door first using this keys, the doctor behind. A fluffy cat is walking around the hallway.

"Have you been upstairs? Yes?" The Doctor asked, walking over to the cat.

"You can do it. Show me what's up there? What's behind that door? Try to show me. Ohh, that doesn't make sense! Ever see anyone go up there? Lots of people? Good good. What kind of people?" The Doctor questioned.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked

"I speak cat." He said turning back to the cat who meowed

."People who never come back down. That's very bad." The Doctor said as Craig open his flat door and he looks furious.

"Oh, hello."the doctor said

"I can't take this anymore. I want you to go!" Craig said to the doctor.

Craig walks back into the flat, while me and the doctor followed.

"You can have this back an' all." Craig said, handing the Doctor the brown paper bag filled with money.

I took it out of his hand looking in there "oh my god doctor did you rob a bank" I shouted

"For a start, he was talking to a cat."

"Lots of people talk to cats." The Doctor said as I shook my head no while placing the bag of money on the counter.

"Everybody loves you, you're better at football than me and my job, and now Sophie"

Craig opens the Doctor's room door.

"And then there's that" Craig shouted

"It's art! A statement on modern society" the doctor stated

"You've been here three days, the three weirdest days of my life." Craig walks in the room.

"Your days will get a lot weirder if we go!"

"I can't do this anymore!" Craig exclaimed.

"Craig, we can't leave this place. We're like you, we can't see the point of anywhere else. Madrid, hah, what a dump! We have to stay." The Doctor said.

"No, you don't, you have to leave!" Craig's shouts

"We can't go!" The Doctor shouts back

."Just get out!" Craig shouts back, grabbing the doctor pulling him by his collar.

"Right! Only way! I'm going to show you something, but ssh, really, ssh! Oh, I am going to regret this.Okay, right First, general background!" The doctor head butts Craig and all the information goes into his brain, I stood there arms crossed leaning up against the door

"Yargh! Ohhh! Ow! You're a...." Craig looked between us amazed at the doctor

"Yes."

"From..."

"Ssh..."

"You've got a TARDIS!"

"Yes. Ssh! Eleventh! Right okay, specific detail!" The Doctor headbutts Craig again.

"You saw my ad in the paper shop window." Craig said.

The Doctor pulls out a small card with Amy's handwriting on it.

"Yes, with this right above it, Which is odd, because Amy hasn't written it yet."

"Time travel, it CAN happen, I also sent Alex I card and that's how she ending up here." The Doctor explained.

" That's a scanner! You used the non-technological technology of Lammasteen."Craig pointing at the scanner

"Shut up!" the Doctor yelled in covering Craig's mouth.

The Doctor sits on the bed, groaning about the pain in his head.

"I am never doing that again, Amy?" The Doctor asked pressing the earpiece.

"That's Amy Pond, yoyr Alex pond, your sisters, your a doctor of time." Craig said looking between me and the doctor, I gave him a little waves

"Oh, of course, you can understand us now. Hurrah, got those plans yet?"

"I've worked it out, with the psychic help from a cat." The Doctor replied.

"A cat?"

"Yes, I know. He's got a time engine in the flat upstairs. He's using innocent people to try and launch it.Whenever he does, they get burnt up, hence the stain on your the ceiling?" The Doctor said

"From the ceiling." Craig now understands

"Well done, Craig" I clapped his sarcastically

"And you, Miss Pond, nearly get thrown off into the Vortex."

"Lovely" Amy said

Suddenly we heard a crash from upstairs

"People are dying up there? People are dying.People are dying"

"They're being killed!" Craig says.

"Someone's up there." I said looking up at the ceiling

The Doctor soon runs out pulling me behind him and Craig followed us both

"Sophie, It's Sophie." I said.

We all race upstairs but Craig stops

"Hang on! Craig, come on someone's dying up there." The Doctor lets go of my hand and runs back a couple of steps to see Sophie's keys.

"It's Sophie. It's Sophie that's dying up there, it's Sophie!"

Craig rushes to the door. "

Where's Sophie?"

"Wait, wait!" The Doctor pushes himself in front of Us.

"Amy?"

"Just going in!" The doctor shouted into the ear piece

"Of course I can be upstairs!"

"There is no upstairs!" The doctor repeated from Amy
