The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Angels In the Garden Pt. 4

Night draped itself over the area, enshrouding it in a veil, the moon above behind it, not a sound of wolves howling echoed throughout, however, not even a chorus of frogs. Only silence lingered in the area. The only light came from the mental hospital's windows, looking like floating lanterns in the distance.

Draped in the darkness, Theodore and Lila took a gamble, hurrying over the grassy knoll, towards the blocked off window on the other side of the building.

Checking their surroundings, they don't see any security cameras, not even a guard, though they won't step foot outside at night.

A twist of his wrist, Theodore undid the bars on Lovett's window, gently resting them on the side as Lila helped opened the window.

She's about to jump inside with Theodore when she felt that same feeling she did before with the Plague Doctor.

Phantom eyes leering at her from the darkness.

More.

Multiple phantom eyes.

As quickly as the feeling came, it suddenly disappeared, and Theodore yanked her inside, but to their surprise, Lovett's not in his room.

He's gone.

Al showed up on time, ready to take his place, but baffled as they are until Theodore had him check.

He said that Lovett's in solitary.

"Why?" Lila asked him.

Shrugging his polka dotted puffy shoulders, Al says that it wasn't on record. Not even a shorthand reference to an incident.

"They don't want to make this easy, do they?" Theodore sighed as he realized it wasn't going to be as easy as he hoped, but it's the life, and he asked Al if he can at least help Lila with her trickery.

"Kid, I'm an expert at trickery!" Al chortles as he pointed at himself that he's the master at the art, hell, he tricked them two plenty enough without them realizing.

Glaring looks aside, Theodore told him that he didn't want the security guards getting close to the solitary confinement cell. He'll reach out once he finds Lovett.

"Got it, stay safe kid, my radar is going haywire," Al warned that he picked up multiple life forms outside the building, but he's having a hard time tracking them. They're moving erratically and at a speed improbable to an animal.

Nodding, Theodore tells him and Lila the same, before they broke off into their respected missions.

With Al's help, if there's any security cameras, they won't pick up on Theodore, and any security guard won't go his way, they'll move on to another area because of a radio call.

Cautiously moving around, Theodore followed the signs towards the solitary confinement cell, mindful of any sudden movements, his hearts beating at a higher rate than normal.

The things he does for the good.

He ended up stopping at one of the rooms, peeking in through the slots in the door, looking in, seeing a patient laying on their bed, asleep.

They're not in REM sleep, Theodore's certain, knocked out by the sedative.

Moving on, Theodore continued until he gotten close to the solitary confinement cells, checking each one.

Tommy's in the first one he found, sedated, sprawled out on the bed.

Frowning, Theodore forced himself to move on to the next one, empty, and moved on to the one over until he found Lovett.
