[The doors near the base of the staircase might do, if he has time to get them open. A quick glance over his shoulder tells him that he might not have that time, though - he can hear the Zygon running fairly fast. But maybe he could use that to his advantage. If the Zygon thinks he went through that door at the stop of the stairs, he might just barrel through it before being able to come to a stop. And if he can get the door closed before he comes back he could lock it on this side.
He runs up the stairs, and throws open the door as loudly as he can, knowing that it can be heard down the corridor. And then, before the Zygon can spot him, he hides behind the open door, pressing himself up in the small space between it and the wall. Once the Zygon runs into the room behind it, he figures he'll dart out from behind the door, go back down to the stairs and slam it shut before the Zygon knows what hit it. He just hopes that things are going with Oliver and his friends.]
