"Escape into the eerie night, In the dark I'm out of sight. Shadows on the alley wall, Are dancing like a lover's brawl"-City Traffic Puzzle, By The Hush Sound

It would sound very stupid if I told you how I got the idea for this story. So I'm just going to tell you to enjoy. Enjoy!

Much gratitude to kiss-her-theta for being my beta!

So she was running, well, truly she was driving, after it. And it kept on making sharp turns through Cardiff city. "It "was a galactic thief who just stole one of Torchwood's most valuable items. And if she didn't get it, her head would be on the chopping block along with her memories. Suddenly her cell phone went off, distracting her from the dreadful consequences Torchwood 1 would give her if she didn't catch him.

"Rose." It was Jake "There's a intersection coming up, take a left. Hurry!"

"Oh yeah like I'm not going as fast as I can" She replied sarcastically

"Alright! Don't have to get all snappy!" She sighed

"I'm sorry it's just when you finally fall asleep at midnight, then your co-worker calls you at two in the morning and says 'We have a galactic crook who's just stole a vital item of Torchwood. And you have to go get him!', you get kind of rude"

She winced at the last word. Sure she was still a little sad about losing the Doctor, she'll admit that; she didn't want a boyfriend, as she admitted to her mother every other day. But she did want to go see those stars again. She only admits that to herself. A voice on the other end of the call brought her out of her thoughts.

"That's Torchwood for you, honey. And technically I didn't call you till 2:15…" Rose rolled her eyes.

"Sure" The thief was in sight now, and was making another sharp turn into an alley.

"Crap," She said as she missed the alleyway "I gotta go! He's gone into a dead-end."

"Call up when you catch him" She smiled, her friends always had faith in her "Oh and Mickey says 'Hi'" And there was typical Mickey letting her run into un-known with just a greeting.

"Will do, and 'Hi' back."

She ended the call put the car in reverse and blocked the alley with the car. She also positioned the car so when she opened the car door she would be in the alley. She took a deep breath and stepped out. The dead end wasn't very big, so she was close to him. 'Great' She thought sarcastically.

The thief was wearing all black. Typical, but she was one to talk wearing all black. But he was twisting and turning frantically for a way out. So should she do 'Nice but give us our stuff back' Torchwood or should she do 'Give us our things or else' Torchwood? The bandit suddenly turned to her and he had a dark look in his eyes, and he was in a fighting position. Number two it was. She pulled out her gun out she aimed it so, if he would not cooperate it would only slow him-it down.

"I am Torchwood operative Rose Tyler, and on the behalf of Earth, I demand that you give back what you have stolen!" She sounded in charge and in control of the situation, she hoped.

The thief just gave a discontented grunt and said; "I don't think so, because I've got this" He drew out a small device.

"Emergency Teleport", she said aloud.

"Ooh, someone's been doing their homework. And yes, that is why I am so sorry, but I can't stay."

Meanwhile while he was talking, Rose's mind was already ticking, already going into action. Because when you work for Torchwood or even with the Doctor, you're always a step ahead.

So Rose was already reaching out, going to stop him. But it was all so fast. Rose's hand was on the teleport, but the thief had already clicked it.

And that was it.

Rose was teleported into the un-known.
