Disclaimer: I do not own Torchwood, RTD and BBC do. (if i did, jack and gwen would already be together) please dont sue, im not making a profit from this, just lots of juicy reviews.

Gwen was on her way home from work, Rhys had come to pick her up. It had been a typical day at Torchwood. The team had hunted down a weevil, catalogued something which might have been an alien weapon, and numerous other things, like Jack constantly flirting with her, Tosh and Owen always missing each other's glances by a mere second. And Ianto, good old Ianto with his perfectly brewed coffee, pining after Jack. She contemplated this all the while Rhys was prattling on beside her about his day at work.

She was lost in thought, giving an 'ah huh' and 'yep' when she thought it was appropriate. She thought about Jack, and all the innuendo that he had thrown her way all day. He knew that she was engaged to Rhys, but Jack doing that was him just being his typical self. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy it, she did, it was just that since Jack had found out that she and Rhys were engaged, he had increased it one hundred fold. It was like he was making up for something, or trying to express something. 'Nah' she thought 'Jack doesn't feel that way about me, and anyway, I'm getting married.' She shook her head, trying to get those thoughts out.

"Gwen, you're not even listening to me are you, love?" Rhys asked her.

"Sorry, what did you say?" she apologized.

"Just as I thought," replied Rhys. "You're thinking about bloody Torchwood and Jack Harkness again, aren't you?"

"Captain Jack Harkness" Gwen corrected him. "Rhys, I just want to go home, I don't feel like fighting right now."

"Well, too bad, we're gonna talk about this right-"Rhys was interrupted by Gwen's phone ringing. She picked it up. It was Jack.

"Gwen, don't go off at me for tracking you, but you're being followed by something that came through the rift. And Gwen, I'm pretty sure it's dangerous, so you might wanna get Rhys out of there. We'll be out there as soon as we can"

"OK, Jack, thanks for the heads up. See you soon" Gwen hung up the phone, and pulled her gun out and cocked it. Rhys was shocked, even though he knew about Torchwood, he never knew that his fiancé knew how to handle a gun. He was about to say some thing, and Gwen noticed.

"Oh Rhys, not now ok I've got something following me."

Rhys grinned, and whispered. "Gwen dear, not following you, right next to you."

He then proceeded to unzip his forehead. Gwen could see all the blue flickering lights, and turned around just as the monster stepped out of Rhys' skin suit. Gwen was too shocked to even pull the trigger on her gun.

"Well, well aren't you a pretty thing. You can come with me." The monster spoke as Gwen croaked out "What are you?"

"Dear, your 'Jack' will know me as one of the Slitheen" she said as Jack and the team pulled up in the SUV.

"WHAT! Don't tell me that you're back" Jack yelled.

"Oh no, dear Jack. I'm not back, I just come bearing a message for you and the Doctor from Blon Fel Fotch Passamir Day Slitheen, or as you know her, Margaret."

"Oh yeah, and what is that?" Jack asked.

"This" said the Slitheen. It grabbed Gwen, and pressed a button on its wrist, and they disappeared.

"NO!" Jack screamed, and sank to his knees on the bitumen.
