"Come on. What's the bad alien done to you ?" The Doctor asked, patronising tone. I don't think Policewoman picked up on, Familiar Girl watched The Doctor place his Sonic Screwdriver to the handcuffs. 

"Will that door hold it ?" Policewoman asked concerned.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, of course. It's an interdimensional multiform from outer space. They're all terrified of wood" I said sarcastically, The Doctor looked towards the door, still trying to get us free. A bright light slowly bursting out of the room.

"What's that ?" Familair Girl asked, turning around to face the door.

"What's it doing ?" Policewoman asked, her eyebriws furrowed.

"IT !? What exactly is IT ?!" Familiar Girl exclaimed, her voice shaking.

"No time to explain" I replied, looking at the both. My eyes wideed at him for him to hurry up.

"I don't know. Getting dressed ? Run. Just go. Your back up's coming. We'll be fine" The Doctor chimed in.

"There is no back up" Policewoman sighed, her eyes wide.

"We heard you on the radio. You called for back up" I said looking at her. Familiar Girl looked between us as we spoke.

"I was pretending" Policewoman, well, Non-Policewoman gritted.

"It's a pretend radio" Familiar Girl said, Non-Policewoman turning a bright shade of crimson.

"You're a policewoman" The Doctor, replied his eyebrows furrowed.

"I'm a kissogram!" Non-Policewoman exasperated. Taking off her cap quickly, long red hair cascading down her shoulders and back. The door falls down behind us, all of our gazes turning towards it "But it's just-" Non-Policewoman said, looking towards the alien. 

"No, it isn't. Look at the faces" The Doctor interupted, the man barks. Still trying to free us.

"What ? I'm sorry, but what ?" Familair Girl asked.

"It's all one creature. One creature disguised as two. Clever old multi-form. A bit of a rush job, though. Got the voice a bit muddled, did you ? Mind you, where did you get the pattern from ?" The Doctor asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

"You'd need a psychic link, a live feed. How did you fix that ?" I asked, The Doctor looked at me confused.

The man opened his mouth to reveal long needle-like teeth.

"Stay, boy! We're safe. Want to know why ? She sent for back up" The Doctor said, trying to intimidate the creature disgused as a man. He stood watching us, pointing towards Non-Policewoman.

"I didn't send for back-up!" Non-Policewoman whisper shouted.

"I know. That was a clever lie to save our lives. Okay, yeah, no back up. And that's why we're safe" The Doctor replied, yanking his hand this way and that.

"Ow, stop pulling," I gritted, looking at him angrily "Alone, we're not a threat to you. If we had back up, you'd have to kill us" I said calling out to the creature, he still stood watching us. Silent.

"Attention, Prisoner Zero. The human residence is surrounded. Attention Prisoner Zero. The human residence is surrounded" A deep voice called out, which seemed to be coming from the sky.

"Oh, shut up" I called out, to the random voice in the sky.

"What's that ?" Non-Policewoman asked, to The Doctor and I.

"Well, that would be back up. Okay, one more time. We do have back up and that's definitely why we're safe" The Doctor said relieved. 

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated" The voice called out.

"Well, safe apart from, you know, incineration" I said, pointing towards the sky. Familiar Girl lost for words.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated" The voice called out, yet again.

"Come on, work, work, work, come on" The Doctor said, banging on his Sonic Screwdriver still with his best efforts too get us free. I don't want to be handcuffed to this gallifreyan geek all day.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated" The Doctor gives me a look that says 'This is the part where we run'

"Run! Run!" The Doctor said hurridly, we getting up almost running towards the door trying to get away from the creature. Finally, free from those handcuffs at last.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated" The voice called out.

"Kissogram ?" The Doctor asked, his eyebrows furrowed, looking towards me. 

"I'll explain later" I said to him, bounding down the steps.

"Yes, a kissogram. Work through it" Non-Policewoman replied sternly.

"Why'd you pretend to be a policewoman ?" I asked, looking towards Familiar Girl

"You broke into our house. It was this or a French maid. What's going on ? Tell me. Tell us!" Non-Policewoman replied, her eyes shocked. Familair Girl held her head in frustration

"An alien convict is hiding in your spare room disguised as a man and a dog, and some other aliens are about to incinerate your house. Any questions ?" The Doctor said, cheerfully towards the end. Walking through the house towards the back garden.

"Yes" The Familiar Girl replied, it seemed her head was about to burst by the way she was rubbing her temples.

"Me too. No, no, no, no! Don't do that, not now! It's still rebuilding. Not letting us in" The Doctor said, trying to pull open the TARDIS doors.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated" The voice called again. When would this voice stop ?

"Come on" Non-Policewoman said, guiding past the garden and the house.
