The Doctor went over to the wall by the window, touching it to analyse it, "Okay, one, we've got to get out of here. Two, we can't get out of here. Have I missed anything?"
Rose was about to say something but before she could she was gone in a flash, just like Jack and Winnie's eyes widened in shock, "Yes, Jack and Rosie just disappeared."
The Doctor turned around in a hurry and furrowed his brows, "What?"
"You know, he is Rosie's type, I suppose. Good-looking, foreign, unstable-", she interrupted herself when she noticed the Doctor's look, "What?"
"Good-looking?"
She shrugged, "You can admit someone's good-looking without being attracted to them. And vice-versa."
He narrowed his eyes at her.
"What?"
"I'm making an effort not to be insulted."
Winnie snorted, letting the teddybear hang in her right hand, "Are you insulted because you think I'm attracted to you even though you're not good-looking or because I think you're good-looking without being attracted to you?"
"Yes."
"All right", she sat on the table, "I tend to be attracted to much more important qualities than looks."
He stared at her as she looked down at the teddy for a moment, before turning away and swallowing uncomfortably. Then, the radio next to her crackled to life and she jumped.
"Winifred? Doctor?", Jack's voice came through and she calmed down, "Can you hear me? We're back on my ship. Used the emergency teleport. Sorry I couldn't take you. It's security-keyed to the molecular structures of those who've been on the ship. I'm working on it. Hang in there."
"How are you speaking to us?", the Doctor looked at the radio.
"Shut up, that's not important. Where's Rosie?", Winnie went between.
"I'm here, Fred", her voice came through, "Sorry, I didn't know he was doing that."
"I don't blame you", Winnie said.
"I do", the Doctor disagreed, "But that's not important now. How are you talking to us?"
"Om-Com. I can call anything with a speaker grill."
"Now there's a coincidence", he looked at Winnie with his brows raised.
"What is?", Jack and Winnie asked at the same time.
"The child can Om-Com, too."
"Oh", Winnie let out.
"Anything with a speaker grill. Even the Tardis phone."
"Right", Winnie clicked her tongue, "So, he could phone us here."
"And I can hear you", his voice now came from the radio, "Coming to find you. Coming to find you."
"Doctor, can you hear that?", Jack replaced the child's voice again.
"Loud and clear", he replied.
"I'll try to block out the signal. Least I can do."
"Coming to find you, mummy."
"There we go."
The radio crackled for a moment, then Moonlight Serenade played. Winnie sighed, "Can he hear us now?"
"The child? Probably."
"No, Jack and Rose."
"I don't think so."
"Why do you blame Rosie?", she leaned back against the wall.
