He had a towel draped over his head obscuring his face. The door fell flat in front of a man sitting in a chair.
Angel kicked the door and broke it off its hinges. "Sort of.I've always thought those type of signs meant, 'Please break my door'," he said. "I don't know about you, but I've always taken those signs as open invitations," the Doctor said with a mischievous smile. At the end of the passage was door with a single word written in large block letters, "DON'T". Angel had switched places with the Doctor, his eyes needing less light to see well. The low rumbling became louder as they made their way down the dimly lit passage. She smiled and then the screen went blank. "I've waited 51 years for this, Doctor," the face said. She turned as if she was watching them go, her eyes tracking their motions in real time. On the screen was a black and white image of a woman's face.
THE ANGEL HAS THE PHONEBOX TV
As the Doctor and Angel went into the passage, a TV screen on the desk turned itself on. Angel bowed and motioned the Doctor into the passage way. The filing cabinet slid forward easily and then pivoted away from the others. On a hunch, Angel tried pulling the filing cabinet away from the wall. Angel shook his head and said, "Sure, Doc, whatever you say." He looked at the filing cabinet in question and did notice that the sound was a little louder over here. "You know, this is one of the few times I've ever actually used my sonic screwdriver to measure something, well…sonic," the Doctor admitted. "The vibrations are strongest coming from that far filing cabinet," he said and pointed with the screwdriver. The Doctor flicked up his sonic screwdriver and ran through some of the settings, watching and listening for the feedback. "I think it's coming from that direction," Angel said and pointed to a wall covered by filing cabinets. "It doesn't sound quite right for a TV studio, does it?" he said. The Doctor closed his eyes for a moment and focused on his hearing. Angel cocked his head, listening to something.
THE ANGEL HAS THE PHONEBOX FREE
Filling up much of the free space on the floor were props and marketing banners for "Smile Time". Inside the office were rows of filling cabinets, a large conference table, and a desk on the far wall. The Doctor opened the door and held it for Angel to enter. He really wanted to show off his sonic screwdriver and prove that it wasn't for those silly star shaped screws. When the Doctor tried the door to the office, he found this one was unlocked. "Weird," Angel said and then moved back down the hallway. Angel waved his hand in front of the old man's face and got no reaction. The Doctor and Angel stood away from the wall and approached the janitor. He passed within a foot of the Doctor and should have seen him. They hid in the shadows as best they could as an old janitor shuffled past, pushing a wheeled trash bin. He put his fingers to his lips in a signal to remain quiet. While they were walking down the hallway towards the office, Angel suddenly pressed the Doctor flat against the wall. "Or…we could just do that," the Doctor said. Angel smiled at him and used his vampire strength to rip the door open. He was so shocked by the question he forgot to activate the sonic screwdriver. "Sonic screw? Are those the ones with the funky star shaped heads?" Angel asked. "It's a sonic screwdriver," the Doctor said and prepared himself for the inevitable question. "Still have your silver wand, I see," Angel noted.
He pulled out his sonic screwdriver from his pocket at aimed it at the door. The Doctor tried the door and found it was locked. They got out of the car and walked to a door marked, "No Visitors – Closed Set".
I can remember when the air still smelled sweet on this coast," Angel said wistfully. How do you…oh wait…you're a vampire, you don't have to breathe," the Doctor said, finally comprehending. "I don't breathe," Angel answered truthfully. "How do stand the smell of this city?" the Doctor asked in disgust. Angel didn't bother to tell him that in LA, at night, the only stars you could see were B and C list ones that you happened to pass on the street. The doctor said he loved driving with the top down so he could see the stars at night. Angel looked over at his passenger who had been thrilled with the decision. He had decided to drive his old car since they would only be out at night and so wouldn't need the use of the special Wolfram & Hart sunlight filtering glass his other cars employed. KTCE Studios, LA Angel pulled his black convertible into the parking lot of the KTCE studios.
