The Prime Minister was sitting at the head of the conference table, looking at the room of worrying scientists and military experts.
Quick summary:
At 0600 hours, the long range scanners at the Torchwood manor picked up a spaceship in orbit above their heads. Diplomats and military leaders, along with the best and brightest of the scientists, from all over the world, were now in the room. Most were hyperventilating. Some were yelling. The rest were trying to be calm.
It took until 0800 hours to get them all to vaguely calm.
"Now-"
Just as she started to talk, there was a beam of light, and there was a girl in the room, at the other end of the table. She had long red hair, curling past her shoulders. Her eyes were hazel, with specks of gold here and there. She was wearing what looked like a high necked leather jacket and tight black pants, under half-calf length boots. she had a messenger bag over her shoulders and was holding a tablet.
"I take it this is the committee to decide whats going to happen to the ship?"
"Yes, but-"
"I wouldn't do that."She pulled over a chair and sat opposite the Prime Minister."The ship is from the Shadow Proclamation, which is basically the U.N. of the universe." Her accent was American, NYC to be specific.
"And what are they doing here?"
"They are here to drop off a primary defendant of this planet."
"I'm pretty sure we have all the defendants of this planet here."The American general who had spoken literally leaned back in his seat when she directed her gaze at him.'
"I'm so sure. This is a level 5 planet that will go to the next wandering evil aliens that decides the want this planet."
"Who is this defendant?"
"Capitain Jack-"
"Sparrow?"The titters echoing through the room were quickly silenced when met with her gaze.
"Harkness."
"Ah. Where is he? And, before we go much farther, who are you?"
"You can call me Linz."She brushed the hair out from over her ear and tapped the earbud there."Send him down."
There was another flash of light, and Jack was standing behind her. He shivered.
"Can I never do that again?"
"I'm not promising anything." She tapped her tablet and one of the scientists looked from his laptop.
"The ship is leaving!"She gave him a look that would be most accurately described as duh.
"Yes."
"Why aren't you on it?"
"Because there is someone I need to fine, and I need your help with it."
-
The Doctor was currently walking along Time Square with River.
"I never took you as someone who would like New York."
"I don't. It just...reminds me of someone."
All of a sudden, all the giant ads flickered off, and changed to Jack Harkness.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, people of Earth. This is a international public service announcement. We are looking for a man who goes by the name the Doctor. He is not, repeat, not a criminal or villain. The general descriptors are tall, lanky Caucasian male. He will be sometime seen around a blue police box."A picture of a police box flashed on screen next to him. "Please call the number at the bottom of the screen to offer any information." The transmission ended, and it went back to showings ads.
River turned to the Doctor, and ended up running after him as he tore back to the TARDIS.
In seconds, they were all the way across the Atlantic and running out into a alley.
Not far into a alley, though, since there was a group of men with stunners. The Doctor was hit in the alley, and River was hit right after the door locked.
