Standing in the doorway, her baseball bat at her side, Lila looked at the strange man eating his ill-gotten pastrami sandwich, wiping his mouth with a napkin before looking up at her as she's processing her situation.

"Okay, so, how does this go down?" Lila asked the strange man as he topped his ill-gotten pastrami sandwich with some freshly made tea.

As he rested the empty tea cup on the coaster, the strange man stared at her quizzically as he processed what she asked him.

"What on Earth are you talking about?" asked the strange man as Lila cautiously approached him, her hand tightly wrapped around the handle as she watched him stack the dirty dishes.

Lila casually brought up, "Well, you broke into my flat and you're eating my food, so there's that. Come on, I got work in the morning, is there any way I can move this on. My boss gains a gray hair every time I'm late."

As bluntly possible, she tells the strange man the summary and he found it amusing.

He encouraged her to put down the bat, that he's not a threat, and rather, he needed her help.

Lila dryly asked if the strange man always broke into people's homes to ask them for help and he adamantly stated he'd never do such a thing unless it's an emergency.

Crossing her arms, still clutching her bat, Lila inquired what emergency the strange man's involved with that he couldn't possibly enter her home the normal way.

She certainly doesn't remember him and she'd recognize him if he went to the library, those blue eyes stood out.

The strange man introduced himself as Theodore and he's in a bit of a problem. He's lost something of his and he's desperate to find it, because of the next bit of a problem he's having.

"Would it relate to those weirdos with the oversized biker helmets and the black leather to go with it?" Lila specifically mentioned those three people she saw and Theodore's eyes widened as he nods.

He stated that they're the ones he's talking about and Lila told them where she saw them.

"I'm guessing they're looking for you and they're none too happy when they do, right?" Lila raised her brow at him.

Nodding, Theodore said that it's like that and that's a problem because he doesn't want them to catch up to him.

"And dare I ask what did you do to, pardon my French, piss them off?" Lila inquired what exactly did the strange man do to incense three strangers with oversized biker helmets.

Theodore moved his long tree arms as he described what exactly happened. He tried his best to explain the situation and it sounded completely insane to Lila as he's explaining to her how he ended up on the list of an angry...

"Son-Ta-Ran?" Lila garbled the word trying to pronounce it as she's trying to understand what insane story Theodore relayed to her.

Shaking his head, Theodore corrected her.

Sontaran.

Gesturing, Theodore described them in detail and when he finished, Lila summed his situation.

"Okay, so, stop me if I get something wrong. They confused you for someone else and they can't exactly be bothered to correct their mistake, so now you must play "Running Man" in order not to get killed by... killer potato men?" Lila erred at the end as she couldn't fathom what Theodore's telling her.

Nodding, his wild mess of a hair bobbing, Theodore accepted it as a summation of his situation, and now for the problem at hand, he lost something of value during his attempt to escape their clutches.
