The little girl can”t believe the denseness of old people. “You have reached your destination,” Sexy says repeatedly.

No Doctor worth his salt could turn down such a tantalizing mystery, so she”s ushered in. He might not know who this child is, but something is chasing her and she was specifically sent to Twelve for help.
