Periodically, Mabel turns her tablet off and ignores the fact that the rest of Taxon exists. She did so after the Doctor first vanished off the map, assuming with a bit of regret that he had been sent back home and bummed because she was half-hoping he would give her a job - or at least something to do.
She turns her tablet on again, finally, just in time to see that he wasn't gone after all, and just in time to watch in horror as he's attacked. "Doctor!"
The Doctor smacks back the Extra and grabs himself a rubbish bin lid to defend himself. The Extra attacks again, this time hitting the lid as the Doctor blocks himself.
"Mabel!" he calls out when he hears her voice. "Something's wrong!"
"No, shit, Sherlock!" Mabel doesn't really stick around to find out what the Doctor thinks about that particular colloquialism; she's out and running even though she has no location to run to. "Where are you?!"
He doesn't have time to switch the tablet to private, he can only hope that when Mabel gets here, he has time to run if the Council starts chasing after him.
"Central!" he calls. "Near Camelot!"
He swings the bin lid towards the Extra, and it dodges his blow then goes in to attack again.
She doesn't waste time asking where the goddamn hell that was; she had a map and something better to do than yell at him, he's currently busy.
A luck of the draw was that she was in Central, but near Camelot was another thing altogether. She had a map, of course, but it didn't help with generic directions of genericness.
"In an alley!" he cries, thrown into the nearest wall by the Extra. "I don't know!"
He pulls the sonic out of his pocket and aims it at the nearest electrical wire. It sparks and shoots up, causing a fairly impressive lights show. One he hopes Mabel sees but anyone looking for him doesn't.
"You ain't helpful!" This is entirely unfair as the Doctor does indeed seem to be busy, but fortunately his little lightshow managed to catch her eye. The tablet gets shoved into her pocket as she makes her way toward it.
Bat in hand - it's the only thing she had from her world, it tended to be the one thing she hung onto - she finally sprints around the corner, takes aim at the Extra's back, and swings.
If there was one thing Mabel doesn't do, it's pull her punches.
"I brought it with me. Never go anywhere without a baseball bat." Mabel rests the bat - made of metal and covered with white painted symbols that seem to have no meaning - on her shoulder, eyeing the Extra with a wince. She really didn't want to hurt him; they weren't really people, after all, whatever happened with them couldn't be their fault.
"What the hell did I do?" the Doctor barks, looking terribly offended. "I didn't do anything! Well, I did remove my tracking anklet and go on the run from the mockery of the law that they have here, but that was completely justified."
He looks up to the sparking electrical wire. "Speaking of, I should really go."
"Oh, fuck the Council, whoever the hell they think they are." The bat, thankfully, goes back over her shoulder. "But you ain't going anywhere alone with random Extras attacking you all over the place. You got the fighting skills of a dead rat."
"You're welcome!" she snaps, sounding quite insulted indeed, but she follows quickly on his heels. It's only to find a chance to punch him later on, mind you.

"Where near Camelot?"

And, being the grateful person he is, he says: "Where did you get a baseball bat?"

"Not by yourself, you're not, what the hell is up with the Extras?"

And that is an absolute lie. If he wasn't terrified for his life right now, he'd probably be hugging her.
"Fine! Come on!" he says, darting down the alley.

He looks back to her. "You are aware I'm a dangerous escaped criminal, yes? You'll probably be considered aiding and abetting me!"
