He hadn't expected to hear something about a 'reward', though he was immediately suspicious of what that would mean. An 'alien' object in the desk drawer...

He crossed to his desk, checking its drawer thoroughly, but found nothing. Based on what Landel had said, that must have meant Dean had it... He would have to ask the man about it later, to confirm... It sounded as though it could be useful in trying to get out of here, but the Doctor didn't trust it. He didn't trust Landel.

Picking up his torch and, after a moment's consideration, his radio, the Doctor turned and headed out the door, starting down the hall. It was time to find Donna.
