Owen and Gwen run down to the medical bay. Owen looks through the tray of stuff, searching for a weapon, while Gwen aims her flashlight at Lisa, trying to keeping her in sight - before the cyberwoman turns around and looks back at Gwen.

"Shit!" she hisses, trying to keep her voice low, as Lisa turns and heads toward them. "Is there another exit?"

"No!" Owen says back, tight-lipped. "We're trapped." He opens one of the storage drawers between them. "Get in," he tells her.

Gwen stares. "No way!"

"Lie on top of me and it'll take us both," he continues, entirely reasonable - just as if he isn't suggesting the climb into a morgue storage drawer together.

"I'm not laying on top of you!" she insists.

"I'm not saying it's a brilliant idea, but it's the only one we've got!"

Outside, Lisa is climbing up the stairs to the second floor. They can hear her feet clanking. Below her, Jack and Ianto lie unconscious on the floor.

Just before Lisa reaches the second floor, the morgue cabinet door closes. She looks about, and heads closer towards cold storage.

Gwen lies on top of Owen in the cabinet, trying not to breathe too loudly, listening to every sound outside as Lisa approaches, clanking footsteps even and mechanical. It seems to take an eternity, but evertually they hear Lisa continue forwards and head all the way past them and into cold storage.

As quietly as she can, looking awkwardly down at Owen's face, just a few centimetres from hers, Gwen whispers, "What do we do?"

Perhaps in response, perhaps jus because, Owen grabs Gwen and kisses her. Gwen stiffens, shocked, then melts against him, because she can't exactly walk off, so why not?
