The Resurrection of Torchwood One
Chapter One
The tunnels were dark and claustrophobic, something unseen stirred in the darkness. But there was no one to worry the tunnels had been deserted for years. But now they were being sold and whoever bought them would be getting an added extra not listed on the estate agents paperwork.
Jack's torch made little dent in the gloom.
"Well this is going to be fun." Owen quipped.
"Well we could turn the lights on," Toshiko said flicking the large switch behind them.
Slowly and surely the lights blinked into life.
In front of them were tunnels which lead off in all directions.
"So why exactly are we here again?" Owen asked.
"They want to rebuild Torchwood One. They think this place would be perfect, it's massive, right under London and you can even reach it by tube."
"But why us?"
"They want to restart it in Torchwood Three's imagine, seems to work better than they way they did it."
"And what gave us the honour of joining you in this exciting excursion? Didn't trust us to be left to our own devices?"
"Well I'd trust Tosh, but I needed her. They'll be a lot of setting up to do?"
"And me, or am I just lucky?"
"Well you have local knowledge."
"Not down here I don't."
Jack didn't mention that he had thought of bringing Ianto but he thought any reminder of Torchwood One wasn't a good one. "Come on lets see what's down here."
Karen's heels echoed along the corridor, it was far too quiet, where were the other commuters? She could hear the trains but they sounded a long way off. She looked around her, the tiles were dirty, even more dirty than they usually where on the underground, also the posters where old and faded. She had definitely taken the wrong turning in her hurry. She started to clip clop back the way she had come when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and screamed. The sight that met her was the last she would ever see. Her scream echoed down the empty corridor, but no one heard. No one would miss one passenger on the packed train.
