Post Exodus

This story takes place directly after The Exodus Code (a Torchwood book written by John Barrowman and his sister Carole) finishes and shows the team rebuilding Torchwood. Please review as I am quite proud of this story :)

Chapter 1

(At CIA HQ in Langley, Virginia Rex Matheson is in his office on speakerphone on his mobile/cell phone).

Rex: GET ME JACK HARKNESS, GWEN COOPER AND THEIR TEAM HERE. NOW!

(In Hacienda del Castenado a CIA agent comes up to Gwen, Jack and their temporary team. Gwen and Jack aim their guns at her)

Agent 1: I come in peace

(Gwen and Jack lower their weapons)

Agent 1: I have a message for all of you from Langley - you have been summoned.

Cash: Who by?

Gwen: Let me guess - Rex Matheson.

Agent 1: Yes ma'am

Vlad: Who's Rex Matheson when he's at home?

(Gwen and Jack look at each other)

Jack: An old friend.

(In Langley Jack and Gwen are shown into Rex's office while the others wait outside in the bullpen)

Rex: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO DOING DISRUPTING A CIA OPERATION?

(Silence then they all laugh and Gwen and Rex hug)

Gwen: Oh I've missed you Rex

Rex: Same, even World War II here.

(Rex and Jack man hug)

Rex: So Gwen how's Rhys and that daughter of yours doing? What's her name again?

Gwen: Anwen, its Welsh for beautiful. And they're both fine thanks for asking, you know she's walking and talking now, sort of.

Rex: Cool! So are you gonna tell me why you were in Peru?

(Gwen and Jack tell him everything that they've been through)

Rex: Woah!

Jack: You got that right.

Rex: Wait, how come all of what affected you didn't affect me, I have your blood.

Jack: Simple answer - I don't know.

Gwen: Bloody hell, that don't happen often.

Rex: So what are you doing next?

Jack: Well I promised Rhys I'd bring Gwen home safe.

Rex: And after that...

Jack:... I'm gonna rebuild the hub.

Gwen: Seriously!

Rex: What's the hub?

Gwen: Torchwood's base

Rex: In Cardiff

Gwen: Yep

Rex: It's not much of a team with only two people is it?

Jack: Who said there'd be me and Gwen?

Rex: You want me to come with you?

Jack: You are a member of Torchwood aren't you? So what do you say, are you in?

Rex: Hell yeah, I mean what do I got to lose?

(Rex and Jack shake hands)
