Chapter 1- start of a new day
It was 4:00am when an alien came through the rift inside the car park and everyone was at home in bed asleep, and the night was as silent as a empty sea well not that silent as you may think. The alien went around the area and found a nightclub so then it followed someone back home and eventually killed him. Then at 7:00am Torchwood got a call from the police saying that a 29yr old man was killed that morning. So Jack phoned everyone to come in solve a murder, he explained everything when they all got there.
"Gwen, Owen, Tosh, Ianto" said Jack a convincing voice.
"Jack" Owen said wondering what's wrong.
"Guys" Tosh says in cheerful mood
"What's so important for me to be hearing at this time, I was with my fiancé" Gwen said tiredly.
"Well thanks for that Gwen, but we have a murder that's why your here early." Jack said in a strong voice.
"What sort of murder is it? And good morning" Ianto ask concernedly
"Well I'm not sure so if we get to the site maybe we will find out what caused it." The captain demanded.
"I will get the equipment we need to examine the body so that will tell us how he died." Tosh said excitedly
"All right then. Gwen, Ianto your with me grab your guns. Owen you can get your equipment and you and Tosh can meet us at the site ok!" Jack shouted across the room.
"One question before your go, Where is the site Jack?" Tosh asked Picking up her equipment and her gun.
"At the car park down the road to Jumping Jacks" Jack shouted across the room and putting on his coat.
"Thanks Jack" Owen shouted
Jack, Gwen and Ianto left to go to the crime scene why'll all that was happing the alien was hiding in secure place by the docks. Owen and Tosh were getting the rest of their stuff that they were gathering to take to the crime scene.
"Is that it?" Tosh asked Owen in a quiet voice and loading the rest her stuff into the car.
"I think so, but I'll double check just in case." Owen said putting down his medical things.
"Ok!" Tosh answered starting to load Owens stuff into the car
Mean why'll Jack, Gwen and Ianto arrived at the crime scene and questioning the police of what they might of thought happened.
"Torchwood I was wondering how long it would take you lot to get here," the police officer told them not in a good mood.
"Well what happened here?" Ianto asking the police officer with a fear less attitude
"I'm not sure what happened but we think that it was a struggle and he got hit in the neck." The officer answered with an honest voice and removing his hat and holding it in his hands.
"I want to know his name, age, address and his records" Gwen asking the officer with a soft voice.
"Ok, his name is Chris Benson, he is 29yrs old and he records are that he's never been in trouble with the police and he has a wife and he hasn't had any criminal warnings" the officer said concernedly
"Thanks that's all we need for now" Jack said to the officer
The officer went off back to the police station and Jack and Gwen were talking and Ianto walked towards the body.
"So what do you think happened Jack?" Gwen asked confused
"Well it sounds to like it was a struggle but I can't be curtain about that until I've had a look at the body" Jack answered with a sound voice
"Guys" Ianto shouted at Jack and Gwen
"What?" They both replied rushing over to look at what Ianto has seen
"This doesn't look like there was struggle at all there's something more than meets the eye" Ianto replied thinking what has done this to a man with no criminal record and who has never been in trouble with the police.
"It looks to me like he was beaten then killed" Jack said observing the body.
"What makes you think that then Jack?" said Gwen
"Look at his back" Jack answered kneeling down
"Oh tear now I see his coat has been ripped down near the side of the coat." She replied looking down at the victim
As they were all looking at the body and going to ask people if someone saw what happened or heard what happened Owen and Tosh showed up and un loaded the car, and set the equipment up and observed the body closely. Tosh was getting her detector out to find out when he died.
"Your hear" Ianto told Owen and Tosh
"Year!" they both replied
"Hey Guys how long does it take it to get here," Gwen said in a rude way and thinking about Rhys.
"Not that long actually. We got stuck in traffic" Owen replied
"Oh ok" Gwen said in a cheerful mood
"How's Rhys?" Tosh asked in a polite manner
"All right actually he's just got a new job at a delivery service" Gwen said in a joking way
"Really" Owen asked looking at the body
"No I was joking" Gwen said laughing
"So when did you two get here?" Jack asked rubbing his head
"Just now actually" Tosh replied scanning the victim
"All right then Owen what do we have?" Jack said in a demanding voice looking up at the sky
"Well I've looked at the body and it looks like the victim was followed home and then killed. Owen replied holding a pen in his hand pointing at the dead victim.
"Do you know what caused it?" Tosh asked putting away her scanner
"Yes I do, well as you can the neck has a quite a big spike in it so it looks like he was hit from behind" Owen replied showing then where the marks are on the body
"Also as you see here you can see bruised marks on him so it looks as if he was beaten first" He replied
"Well I've scanned the body and it seems that there is a lot of energy from the rift itself" Tosh them in an honest way.
"Thanks Tosh" they all said
"Right then Owen you take they body back to the base. Gwen you can tell his wife that he's dead, Ianto and Tosh with me." Jack ordered them all
They all went and did what they got told to do, Gwen hated going to someone's house and telling them that's someone in their family has died... And then seeing what's comes next, with all the questions and fake answers she had to give out each time. Owen on the other hand the loved his job with all the medical jobs he gets and him observing the dead corpsed bodies on the operating table, not to mention all the research he has to do on certain things/victims.
As Ianto and Tosh followed Jack, Owen put the body into a body bag and put into the van and took it, back to the base and examined it from there, to see properly what happened to the body, how it died, how it was attacked from behind and what might have attacked the corpse.... Back at the Site Gwen took the SUV and drove to address and the alien was still in his hiding place as usual.
"All right then" Gwen replied in an annoyed voice
"Tosh" Jack shouted
"Coming" she replied
Gwen knocked on the door and his wife Jenny opened it and asked who she was politely.
"Hi Mrs Benson, may I come in" Gwen asked politely
"Who are you?" Jenny asked all confused
"Sorry I'm PC Gwen Cooper, I have some bad news" she replied with an unhappy face on her
"Ok please come in" Jenny replied wondering what happened
"Would you like a drink?" she asked
"No thanks you" Gwen replied thinking what to say
"Ok!" she replied
"So is it Chris! What has he done?" Jenny asked picking up her kettle and poring hot water into her cup and sitting down in the living room
"Chris hasn't done anything," Gwen said thinking
"Ok so why are you here?" Mrs Benson replied getting scared
"I'm here to tell you that your husband was murdered last night" Gwen answered her
"No, No, No he's a good person. He's never done anything bad at all in his life." She said crying
"I know and I'm sorry" Gwen said getting up and going out the door.
"Will you find the killer for me!" she replied sobbing and wiping her eyes
"Yes we will find the killer and put him to rest" Gwen said getting her keys out
"We?" Jenny wondered
"Torchwood" She replied waling to her car.
"See you later Gwen and thank you," She said shutting the door
"Gwen?" Owen asked over the COM
"Yeah!" she replied
"How did go telling his wife that he is dead?" Owen asked
"The shiest thing about being a police officer, is that you can never seem to get away from tell their family that someone has died" Gwen said to Owen getting into the SUV.
"Oh ok don't be late back ok, Jack wants you pull up his records" Owen replied
"Ok" Gwen said driving back to the base
So Gwen was on her way back to the base. Why'll she was doing that Owen was telling Jack and Tosh what killed him defiantly and Ianto was getting them all drinks and ordering food for breakfast.
