The bluest blue the universe has ever known - and just at the right moment. Cursing under her breath, River Song dashed across the courtyard of the small Egyptian city, glancing behind her every so often to make sure she wasn’t being followed. There were people everywhere, going about their business left and right, but not a single person seemed really to see the solid blue box that was sitting at the corner of the courtyard - perhaps there was just something about being a time traveler that made these things obvious to River.
Either way, as the Time Lady made her way up to the doors of the box, she slid out a key, hurriedly unlocking the door and slipping inside. She had seen the Doctor and Amy slip out of the TARDIS not five minutes before - no doubt on their way to some sort of an adventure, but River needed the lovely time machine for her own doings. Besides - the Doctor never seemed to notice. This wasn’t the first time she would use the TARDIS as a way to run from the scene of the crime, and it was highly unlikely that it was ever going to be the last.
There was a series of shouts and running from the courtyard, but River was having none of it, and swiftly shut the door of the TARDIS, tossing her bag onto the console and instinctively powering her up in order to take off. Stabilizers on - Temporal shield lever, up - aaaaand take off. Gorgeous. It didn’t really matter where she went, as long as she was out of that city and some place where she could go through her bag of spoils.
“Ohhhh this is going to get me plenty of credits with the Salutarian Institute,” She muttered to herself when she was sure the TARDIS was stable in the time vortex.
