Hey everyone! Welcome to my first ever fanfiction! I hope you enjoy it and please review, I want to know what you think. I was inspired by the doctorandriver's story 'shattered' *hugs* Thanks, Into The Vortex
Jack groaned as the monitor beeped a warning. Putting down his unsatisfactory coffee he spun his chair round to the desk to have a look at the reading. He was exhausted after rounding up weevils the whole of last week, and with Owen and Tosh not coming back from Germany for another two weeks he was exhausted.
If only Ianto… shut up Jack! He thought to himself angrily as he pushed himself away from the desk after scanning the screen. You've got to stop thinking about him!
"Gwen!" Jack yelled through the door "I have a weird reading from Bute Park; we need to go and check it out!"
Jack grabbed his coat from the back of the chair, downed his coffee with a grimace and headed for the exit, Gwen hurried after him casting and anxious glance. She was not sure how he was coping after Ianto's death but he seemed fine today so maybe he was recovering.
The two of them strode to the centre of the park. It was a blustery day the trees were rustling and Gwen's hair was flying about wildly. The park was nearly empty apart form a teen girl huddled in her jacket walking her dog. Jack and Gwen stopped in the middle of the park.
"Here, take this" Jack said tossing Gwen a Walkie-Talkie "keep in touch and call me if you find anything. The signal was coming from the trees over there somewhere" Jack waved his hand vaguely in the direction of the trees while talking to Gwen
"Why don't we split up?" suggested Gwen looking at the vast amount of land that needed covering
"Sure," Jack replied "I am not sure what we are looking for but anything out of the ordinary," Jack shrugged "you know the sort of thing" Gwen nodded and strode off to one side of the park while Jack walked more slowly to the other.
They had been searching for about fifteen minutes when Jack saw a big blue box standing in the middle of the trees, he gasped and after staring in shock for several minutes Jack ran round to the front of the TARDIS fumbling with his cold fingers for his key which hung round his neck. He paused.
"Gwen I think I have found what we are looking for," Jack whispered into his Walkie-Talkie "why don't you come on over here?"
"Sure" replied Gwen "On my way"
Jack slotted his key into the lock and the door of the TARDIS swung open slowly. Jack stepped inside only to be greeted with a menacing growl.
When Gwen entered the TARDIS she spotted Jack crouched by the main controls. She could not see what he was crouched over but as she walked round to get a better view she gasped in shock
"Jack!" Gwen exclaimed "what is that doing in the TARDIS?"
"I don't know Gwen and there is no sign of the doctor either!" Jack said in frustration, he sighed before he said "Look Gwen, let's get back to base and patch him up." Jack took off his coat and picked up the bundle after handing Gwen the TARDIS key.
"Can you lock the TARDIS please Gwen?" he asked when he was outside "Oh, and don't lose the key, I haven't got another." He called over his shoulder as he strode off.
