In the morning, Theodore topped off his breakfast with a fresh pot of coffee that Lila brewed.

He only told her that he's speaking with Lovett, see what else he knew, and Lila asks what she should do in the meantime.

"Keep an eye on things, there's gotta be a reason why they're here, if they're not eating them," Theodore gave Lila her orders while he investigated Lovett.

Al took care of the details last night, Theodore's qualified talking with Lovett, and while Theodore's doing that, Al's got another job, seeing which people in the administration knew about the species and how it affected or benefited them and the names of the people who let it fester.

Theodore wanted names, he's got a point to make, and he's sharpened his to the hilt.

He doubted they'll find anything about the missing orderly, if it's as a guarded secret that Al made it out to be, the orderly's either dead or wishing he were.

Still, Theodore wanted all the information Al's able to muster, he wanted everyone covering this up feeling the heat on them as the scandals broke out about them covering up murders and kidnappings.

"Just don't do anything that gets you thrown behind a padded cell, huh?" Lila reminded Theodore as he pulled on his stitched sleeves, preparing to leave with her back to the hospital, so he may talk with Lovett personally.

Theodore assured her as he flashed his pearly whites that nobody's the wiser, but Lila poked him as she said, "A lot of people are riding these secrets, Theo, you're risking kicking the whole damn hive."

Seeing how his plan involved dragging every guilty party out of their hiding spots and putting them on display, Lila urged him caution, these are secrets worth killing for, and even taking down the administrations who knew about them's bound to cause a ripple effect in the long line of hierarchy.

If Theodore isn't careful, a lot of people in the know's going to know about him, and they're not going to be happy hearing or seeing him.

"All part of the job, Lee," Theodore tells her that he's aware of the risks of people becoming irate that a simple man from the humble hills of Nottinghamshire planned on making their day a bad one.

Sighing as she shook her head, her chestnut hair flowing in the breeze, Lila reminded him that Hammond won't like it that his little brother incited violence among a conspiracy group that might've reached as high as the Vatican, even as a good cause, because of the risks of retaliation.

"Worry not, Lee, I'm a professional," Theodore pointed at himself, but it didn't make Lila any less concern, and it showed on her face as they're walking out of the TARDIS, closing the door behind them as they started their trek back to the hospital.

Glancing around, they noticed that the skies above are a pale white, no sun poking through, the forests casting black shadows, darkness in the deeper parts, couldn't see anything.

There's something different about today than yesterday, something strange, the two felt it instantly after they started walking.

It's enough that Lila held an arm around Theodore's as they walked side-by-side, their eyes darting back and forth as they looked around.

Lovett said the 'fun' starts today, what that means, they're putting in overtime.

"And Lee," Theodore looked towards her as she's waking beside him, "remember what I said."

Nodding, Lila responded that she knows what to do when he orders her, if he says run back to the TARDIS, she runs back to the TARDIS.

"I mean it," Theodore lightly leaned on his authority.
