Appearing in a park with a red cobbled pathway with a large fountain in the middle, the TARDIS landed, and the door opened with Theodore poking his head out, surveying their new surroundings.

For once, they have an adventure that wasn't on alien planets with different ecosystems that tried killing him and Lila.

Blinking, Theodore's icy blue eyes surveyed the park before popping back inside the TARDIS and telling Lila that they've arrived at their destination.

Stepping out of the TARDIS, Theodore pulled on his long stitched heavy coat with dark fur lining on the inside as he stepped forward, giving Lila room to step outside.

Yanking on her thermal sleeves, Lila commented that she wished their adventures remained consistent on temperatures. One minute they're in an ice storm, next they're melting in their own skin, almost literary!

"I think this' the first adventure we answered the phone in this thing," Lila remarked as she realized it's the first time since the damned thing kidnapped them, they used the phone hidden behind the sign on the front.

Someone called Theodore, asking for help, believing there's some sort of systematic abuse.

Theodore tried to point them to proper authorities, but the gentleman who called him claimed it wasn't what Theodore suspected.

Something just as sinister, he claimed.

The gentleman believed his ex-girlfriend's a victim of said abuse. She wouldn't confide in him, despite his best intentions, and broke up with him rather than tell him the truth. Now, he believes her classmates suffered the same abuse, as they've become cagey, enough to distance themselves and their respected loved ones.

He wouldn't tell Theodore anything more until they met, so Theodore's come to do just that, hoping to find out more details about this phone call.

An interesting phone call indeed, one that Lila remained skeptical about, as they haven't seen proof of the gentleman's claims, much less if he's telling the truth or not.

Taking charge, Theodore stuck his hands into his deep lined pockets with Lila trailing behind as they're looking for the gentleman waiting for them in the park at this exact hour.

Right now, it's overcast, the wind's still, nobody in the park, and the trees slowly turning red.

It's fall here, Lila realized, but it felt colder to her, Theodore, too.

Searching the park, the two see a man sitting alone at a bench, his eyes fixated on his wristwatch.

Blonde hair, about as old as Theodore, neatly combed, short, long face, small nose, flushed skin, and blue eyes, wrapped up in a dark navy suit.

He turned his head when he heard footsteps and stood up.

"Doctor?" The man asked Theodore as he approached him, Theodore towering over him, easily.

Theodore replied that he is and the man introduce himself as Conan. Conan Ashfield.

"Hello, Mr. Ashfield, how do you do?" Theodore politely asked the man as he shifted in his spot.

His hands shoved into his jacket's pockets, Conan tells Theodore that he suspects his ex-girlfriend's professor of abusing her and her classmates.

"Do the authorities know?" Lila asked him as she stood beside Theodore.

Shaking his head, Conan replied that they didn't, there's not enough proof, and without the testimonials and witnesses, there's no chance it'll be heard in court.
