Thunder broke in the early night sky, dark clouds over head.
The Alien approached them over the brow of the hill, drooling from its mouth.
"Abaddon" Gwen whispered.
"No" was Jack's only answer before a short pause, then he whispered "worse."
Gwen was startled by his response and began to question Jacks answer before Jack cut in.
"This is the same as Abaddon but stronger, much stronger" Jack warned her.
"Jack how do we sort this out this time?" Gwen asked, knowing already what his answer would be.
"Same again, I'm afraid" he replied sounding concerned.
"But Jack, It took you a long time to wake up last time, what if this is it this time?" Gwen questioned him, fear sounding in her voice.
"It's a chance we have to take Gwen, for the human race" Jack said as he begun to walk towards the alien. Gwen knew the drill to stay back and keep safe and when the coast was clear she knew to go to Jack, if he was dead they couldn't leave his body there.
As Jack stood on top of the hill, all kinds of thoughts were running through his mind. 'This could be it, death finally, good, no wait Gwen oh poor Gwen she's going to be the one to find my body…' Just then Jack dropped to the ground, the alien was gone but Jacks lifeless body was smoking.
Gwen came running up the hill through the dirt crying his name.
"Jack, Jack, Jack are you ok?"
There was no reply from him, she ran to his side and saw him, and this caused her to fall to her knees. "Jack, oh Jack what have you done" she whispered into the cold air. It was getting dark now and the cold wind whipped around her as she pulled him in close, his body was still warm but there was no life there. She gently lifted his eye lid and looked at his blue eye, so much more dull now like the life that was once there so vibrant had gone. Gwen's head dropped in defeat. 'He's gone' she thought to her self.

Gwen and Ianto stood over Jack's body in the morgue.
"I can't believe we are here again" Ianto sighed. He stood there just staring at Jack, a single tear rolled down his cheek as memories of Tosh and Owen came to his mind.
Gwen couldn't talk, she couldn't move, her hand was in Ianto's. He squeezed her hand gently but she didn't respond.
"Ill make us some coffee, I think we are going to wait a long time this time." Ianto said to Gwen but she didn't move her eyes never left Jack.

18 days had passed; Gwen hadn't left the hub not once in that time. Ianto he had gone to be with Michelle, he couldn't justify not going home to his new wife. He knew things were different for Gwen since Rhys had died, However she hadn't gone running into Jack's arms when Rhys had died like Ianto had thought, she had been reluctant to be anywhere near him. Most times when she had been upset, she had gone to Ianto, He thought because she needed a friend and needed to know that's all he was. He knew that she couldn't risk going to Jack because he was a friend but he was so much more and Ianto guessed she wasn't ready for that. 'It's too late now' Ianto thought to him self.
Gwen sat with Jack, everyday and night, hardly moving from his side, only when she really couldn't hold it in anymore and then she would return seconds later.
'It's been 18 days
Since I'd look at myself
I don't wanna have to change
If I don't then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don't wanna have to be here
I don't understand it now'
Gwen was lost, she didn't know what to do without her Jack, Torchwood would not be the same and in fact Gwen thought about how she would run the place with out Jack. 'I can't' she thought
Cause it's been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it's the hardest thing to do
But that's another 18 days
Without you
Time after time
I've been through this
You show me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
As my days fade to night
I remember that state of mind
I'm soaring straight into your heart
And I'll fly high
And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I'll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this
Cause it's been 18 days
Since I'd look at myself
I don't wanna have to change
If I don't then no one will
Cause it's been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it's the hardest thing to do
But that's just too many days without you
And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I'll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this..
Gwen broke down in tears again for what seemed like the hundredth time, Ianto looked at the CCTV and could see she was crying, he was about to go to her when he saw something.
