EVERTHING CHANGES
Torchwood,
Outside the Government, beyond the Police.
Tracking down alien life on Earth and arming the human race against the future.
The 21st Century is when everything changes,
And you've got to be ready.
Bang. Bang. Bang. The gun went off as I shot at the weevil cutout. I was mad seething with rage after a fight with my mum, because of her working hours she was never around and so we fought when she was. I keep firing for what seems like forever till the bullets run out. I set it down and pull my phone out of my back pocket: one missed call from Eugene, he had been such a help these days helping me keep a grip on my old life so I called him back.
"Hey Kate" he said he sounded worried
"What's up?"
"Ok if you say so Kate, are you going to come by tomorrow?" he asked school had just let out for a few weeks actually so I had not had a reason to come by.
"I Don't all try" I heard him laugh at my tone, he knew that Torchwood was demanding and I hadn't told him the full truth of what we did hear we technically they did, Jack wouldn't let me go on any of the big things, I had gone on a few weevil hunts (and saved their butts) but that was all. "Look I really have to go"
"Right bye" I hung up before cleaning up and getting ready to go. I had to be an hour or so later when my phone started to ring again.
"Jack?"
"Come on we got a murder were going to test the glove" he said I jumped finally some action
"Right ok" I said grabbing my small bag and running towards the SUV and the rest of the team.
We pulled up at the sight, where most of the SOCO was already bitching about us being here. I pulled up the hood on my hoody it was a better material then my last one may it rest in Peace (pieces). I followed in basic formation behind Suzie, in the V shape. As we Suzie got ready Jack started to rant
"There you go Kate I can taste it, estrogen yep defiantly estrogen. You take the pill flush it away, it enters the water cycle feminized the fish" he started I rolled my eyes "it goes all the way up into the sky then falls all the way back down onto me. Contraceptives in the rain, love this planet, still at least I won't get pregnant never doing that again" he finished "How's it going?" Jack asked Suzie
"Nothing yet, it's got to connect. I've just got to feel it" She answered
"Then hurry up and feel it! I'm freezing my arse off here" Owen complained,
"I can't just flick a switch, it's more like access it grants me access" She finally got out after so much time looking for the right words
"Whatever that means" I said she shot me a dark look, I smiled back
"It's like-" a faint click came from the glove "Oh here we go" she said as the light on the glove activated
"Positions" Jack announced
"If I get punched again, Jack I swear I'm punching right back" I said angrily, Owen chuckled in response remembering the last time when a woman had punched me upon waking up. I took my position along the body
"Just concentrate Suzie" Jack urged, Suzie sat with her hand cradling the dead man's body waiting for him to come back. The lights got brighter hissing slightly and the rain stopped around us, it was actually quite nice. The man gasped for breath and it started
"There was… I was, oh my god I was going home" he started babbling he sounded so scared
"Listen to me, you're dead but we only have a few minutes so it is really important you listen" Tosh said
"I'm dead!?" he almost screamed "How am I dead?"
"You were stabbed"
"I'm not dead, I can see you" this wasn't going so well
"We've brought you back but we haven't got long I'm sorry but you have to concentrate, who did this to you?" Tosh asked strongly but softly
"Why am I dead" the man asked again
"Who attacked you?" Tosh tried again
"I don't want to be dead" he voice broke something in me
"Look Mr. neither do I but you have to be strong and answer these questions" I said softly
"Sixty seconds" Ianto said looking at his watch
"You've got to think, just focus on me. What was the last thing you saw?" Tosh asked
"I didn't see any- I don't know" he said trying to calm down
"Who killed you, did you see them?" Tosh asked again
"I don't know there was someone behind me"
"Police said stab wound to the back" Owen put in confirming the man's words
"So you didn't see anything?" Tosh sighed
"No" I looked at Jack along with everyone else
"What do we do now?" the dead man on the floor asked
"Thirty seconds"
"But he didn't see anything" tosh argued for no reason, I knelt down next to the man's head and looked him in the eye
"What's your name?" I asked him softly
"John Tucker" he answered trying to mimic my tone
"Okay John, not long now" Jack said copying my stance
"Who are you? And who is she?" he asked
"Captain Jack Harkness, and this is Kathrine Jane Lewis" he said taking on my tone of voice
"Tell me, what was it like when you died? What did you see. Just tell us what you saw"
"Ten seconds"
"Nothing I saw nothing oh my god there is nothing!" he arched his back slightly as the connection broke and he died.
"Shit I said this was stupid, telling him he was dead" Owen said I nodded in agreement
"Well you try it" Tosh shot back
"Trust me, like it's going to work" I said. I hated the glove as use full as it was, it was so evil. Suzie being in charge of it didn't help "Kathrine Jane don't play with the grown up toys"
"Maybe there is no right way of doing it" Jack said before looking up at the parking garage "What do you think?" he asked a woman standing on top of the parking garage…
"Kate?"
"Yes?"
"We need you we have a rouge weevil in a hospital" Jack said I looked at my lunch and sighed
"All be right over, text me the address" I said
"Done now all see you in five" he said before hanging up turns out the hospital was minutes away from where I was sitting, so I was able to make it under the allotted time. Jack stood at the entrance and I walked over to him and he handed me a can a weevil spray before sprinting up the stairs I followed. i turned my head slightly to see the woman from the other night chasing us, she was flights bellow us so it was easy to lose her.
"Where is it?" I asked quietly
"Shh" he said in return we snuck around to were the rest of the team was waiting all with weevil spray.
"Hello? Sorry I'm just looking for two people" the woman said, but she wasn't talking to us and if we were the only other people on this floor she was talking to the weevil! The rest of the team had come to that conclusion all ready and were slowly moving towards her "Any way I don't know if you saw a man and a young woman come through here, a tall man in one of those big military coats and a small young woman with bright red hair dressed all in black?" the weevil didn't answer it couldn't "If you could answer, this is official business" she tried again. I wanted to shout at her to get away but I couldn't in fear the weevil would attack her if it got startled. She kept moving closer all the while the weevil started her in the face. "Are you all right? That's good that's a good mask sort of thing" she said pointing at its face I rolled my eyes how thick could she be? "Look sorry if I'm interrupting something but I think we can stop this now! It's all very well playing silly buggers but I'm busy all right. Now I'm looking for a man in a big grey coat and the young woman who was with him. I said we can stop being silly!" the weevil hissed at her and I would have made my move their as Gwen turned around to look down the hall as another man entered the hall in a porters uniform.
"Ah there you are, I did ask when I saw Dr. Mahib because I thought it was him who said about the police" he said coming closer "But he said no, then I asked about chemicals but he said don't be stupid what chemicals? So I don't know it could be anything. Who've you got with you there then? Hey I tell you mate you should try plastic surgery. Not the NHS mind you" he turned to the woman "You alright?"
"Yeah" she answered
"Kate get her out of here" Jack whispered I nodded
"Bloody hell that is brilliant, it's like 'em Hell-raiser that's first class that is. Look at that! It's just like real teeth" he said pointing at the teeth getting up real close. The weevil grabbed him and bit on the neck blood sprayed every where
"Go, go, go!" Jack yelled I sprinted into the room stepping around the weevil and its victim I ran to the woman
"Go, go, go" I shouted at her pushing out of the hall in down the stairs.
"Get it down! Get it down!" Tosh shouted
"Down on the floor" Owen shouted I headed back to the others as Suzie put the hood over it's head. We managed to get the stunned weevil into the back of the SUV and all get in before we saw her again. She chased after us in her own police car; I had a good laugh at this, like she could do anything if she caught us!
We all decided in the car to give her a run for her money and got out right in front of her at the center walking towards the invisible lift. She got out of her car and started yelling at us,
"Oi, You lot Torchwood!" she shouted had this been any other time I would be laughing my head off, but Jack had made me swear to be completely oblivious to her.
"Oi you can't leave that their!" a police officer shouted at her,
"Police" she said pushing past him still following us
"I can see that love, and you're still not leaving that their" I looked at her from the invisible lift as it went down cackling madly, by the time we were down we were all having fits of spontaneous laughter.
"That was fun that was a fun time" I manage to choke out before running over to my work station and hacking into the woman's conversation
"Did you get anything on the registration number?" she asked I put on a pair of headphones so it could be a privet conversation, well as privet as it could be when I was listening in.
"No such number"
"What does that mean?" she sighed I smiled I didn't know the SUV didn't exist!
"It doesn't exist, double checked with Swansea, triple-checked there's nothing no such vehicle. But temple's been asking about you Gwen are you in trouble" so her name is Gwen
"Kate let privet phone calls be privet" Jack said walking by and pushing my headphones off
"Aw but Jack what's the point in that?" I pouted he shook his head and kept walking.
Later I pulled up the CCTV footage of the water tower were Gwen was trying to convince her partner of what she had saw. Finally they left and with them all reason for me to goof-of
"Kate are you done with that report yet?" Jack yelled form his office
"All most done, by the end of the night" I yelled back
"Kate shut up no need to shout" Owen said throwing a pencil at me I dogged it
"Hey!"
"Don't start anything you two" Suzie said, I hunched my shoulders and got back to work, I while later Ianto came around with the night's first round of coffee,
"Don't hunch your shoulders, sit up straight" he commanded, I straightened and stuck my tong out.
Sometime later Gwen was back but she only stayed for a few minutes this time.
"She must be freezing" I said nonchalantly looking at her she was watching the street before finally getting back in her car. I was so tried that I almost missed her coming back holding two pizzas
"Jack!"
So i'm hopping this is good i mean i worked really hard and i really hope you enjoy this as much as i do
