Jack and Gwen

Chapter One: Incomplete

Attention: This contains spoilers for the season! If you don't want to know, then turn your head away now! But nothing has happened after the two's death. The rest is made up!

After Owen's and Toshiko's death, I couldn't help but realize that life was too short. I had lost two of my best friends. Toshiko had been a quiet one. I never realized how lucky I was to have known her. I never appreciated her.

But Owen. Oh, Owen. I appreciated him- well, enough to sleep with him once or twice. And lets not forget hiding in that little compartment when that Cyber woman attacked us. Poor Ianto, that was an experiment gone bad. Because of that, I got a rip in my favorite jeans. The right pocket to be exact. I was wearing them tonight.

But in Torchwood, you learn to accept these things. Life is life, and it's short. It's a piece of rubbish, actually. You need to live life well. To have fun in life. Because after that, it's darkness.

I'm alone in the hub now, at least I think. It's so scary being here alone. Especially with the weevils out in the confinement area. What if they got loose?

I picked up Pizza for the team, but they weren't nowhere to be found when I got back. I looked at my watch. 8:03. Ah, bollocks! I yelped. Rhys is probably wondering where the hell I'm at!

I looked over to Toshiko's computer. A pop up appeared. I put the pizza down and looked at the message. It was handwritten. A scanner was used for this- or a tablet.

We're still alive!

I raised an eyebrow. What was this? Who was still alive? No, it couldn't be Tosh or Owen. The both of them were dead for good, right? But that's when I heard Toshiko's voice coming from the computer's monitor.

"Jack, Ianto… Gwen!" The familiar yet warm voice paused, then continued up again. "We're still alive! We're at the meat factory. Come get us now!" The voice was strange. It was definitely Tosh's voice. But every word seemed different from the other. Either higher, or lower. Something was up. But I had to see if it was Tosh. I grabbed the pizza and placed it on the counter. I then put my cell-phone in my pocket, then, grabbed my coat and ran out the door.

Meat factory… meat factory… where the hell was that? I looked to my right as I got into my car. No sign with the word 'meat' on it. But then I remembered.

Rhys… and that blubbery alien! The old meat factory... I drove as fast as I could to the desired location. I recorded Tosh's words on my phone.

As I pulled up to the factory, a shadow of a skinny figure appeared. It was Toshiko Sato's figure, definitely. But was that Tosh? I grabbed a gun I found on the seat, and hid it in my coat- slowly walking toward that so-called Toshiko Sato.

"Who are you?" I spoke, voice trembling. No answer. "I said who are you?" It was that deadly pause- the same one that kept our names, and her message apart. "Jack, Ianto… Gwen."

"I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" I yelled. My voice broke in half- my face red. It was about 8:45 now- it was dark out. Dark enough to not see anybody's expression. Enough to blind my eyes from seeing that person's face who called themselves Tosh.

The atmosphere turned to cold. Dark. Lonesome. That person wasn't Tosh. A light shone on the pavement, but that mysterious person was behind it. She- or he- was still unseen. I took a step back.

Someone was behind me. Waiting. I fell back into it's arms. I couldn't escape. Screaming wouldn't help. We were too far away from the road. I tried to get my cell phone. It must have fallen out.

"AH SHIT! I FORGOT I WORE THESE FUCKIN' PANTS!" I slapped my knee with my free hand.

"Ah fuck fuck fuck!" I screamed. It carried me off someplace. Someplace dark.
