How to gather a key in between the call using Twilio?

Question

I have a following TwiML file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <Response>     
   <Say> Your call is going to transfer the Receptionist </Say>
     <Dial maxLength="180">
        <Number> 442-333-7271 </Number>
        <Gather numDigits = "9" action = "_actionURL" method="GET">
        <Say> Please press 9 </Say>
    </Gather>
    </Dial> 

According to above code i want to redirect the flow to _actionURL if receiver press 9 in between of call.

How should i do it?
