Gwen and Tosh
I gawked at the room in front of me. It was gigantic despite the fact that it was under the water tower. I stared at the huge computers, and then at the small Asian women standing in front of the largest screen.
"Zorah, this is Toshiko, she is our computer science master."
She blushed and held out her hand, "Jack, that's enough I'm not that good. It's very nice to meet you Zorah, and please call me Tosh."
I smiled and shook her hand, "It's nice to meet you as well Tosh."
Jack clapped his hands together loudly, "Well, let's go meet the rest of the team shall we?" He motioned for me to walk ahead.
I turned back to Tosh, "Is he always this pushy at work?"
She laughed slightly, "You'll get used to it."Jack rolled his eyes and again motioned for me to go forward.
"Which room do I go into?"
He shrugged, "You pick, I'll let you explore." He smiled as I walked into Gwen's office. Before me stood a women wear a red tube, black jeans, and a black leather jacket. She had long brown hair, and when she smiled she had a slight gap between her two front teeth.
She spoke with a welsh accent, "Oh hello, who's this?"
Jack smiled and put his arm around my shoulder, "This is Zorah she's our new recruit."
Gwen took in my short slim figure, my brown hair and green eyes. "I don't mean to be rude but, isn't she a bit young Jack? I mean, she looks no older than fifteen. Aren't you just a bit concerned?"
"I have known her for a long time and I know she can fend for herself."
"But Jack…"
I smiled, "Thank you Gwen for your concern but I'm the kind of person who strives for a challenge. I love danger, plain and simple. And I know that I'm only fifteen but I have been neglected all my life and want out of the normal routine."
She laughed, "Trust me with this job you won't even remember there was a normal routine anymore.
Jack glared at her, "Remember what I said."
She nodded and looked back at me, "You'll have to excuse me but I have some work to finish up before I head home. It's nice to meet you Zorah." I nodded and walked out of the room. Something caught my eye and I followed it. After a moment it was too dark in the hallway to see anything.
"Jack?" I said uncertainly.
"It's okay, I'm right here, keep going. Your eyes will adjust." I nodded and kept going. My eyes did adjust and as they did I realized that it wasn't just a hallway, but rows and rows of holding cell. As I walked further I noticed one of them wasn't empty. Inside it was a person dressed in old raged clothes and smelled of feces.
"Is-is that a person?"
Jack sighed, "Zorah this is a job that involves research, so go find out for yourself." I turned back to the wall of glass.
I walked closer and tapped the window, "Hello? Are you ok in there?" The thing suddenly jumped up and hit the sturdy glass; I saw its round distorted face and its set of large sharp teeth. It was definitely not human. I jumped back and a tiny scream escaped my lips. I pressed my back against the wall, "What is it?"
"It's a weevil," Jack explained, "Weevils are the outcome of constant rift activity."
I nodded, "So why do you keep it here?"
He shrugged, "It's like our mascot, and it also helps us develop things to catch them."
"Oh. Well, that is like you to keep a dangerous animal as a pet."
He laughed, "And what's that supposed to mean?"
I shrugged, "You've known me long enough to know what I mean, or are you that stupid?" his eyebrows shot up and I knew what was happening next so I ran. I ran down the hall until I tripped over something as I ran around the corner and I fell into one of the cells.
Jack ran in and saw me on the floor, "Oh you're gonna pay for it now." He said evilly.
I backed away as much as I could, "N-no Jack don't you dare." He smiled and shook his head as he approached. I looked at him and then at the exit, I thought I could make it. I jumped up and ran; I made it all the way to Ianto's office before he caught me and got me on the ground. He straddled my waist and dug his wiggling fingers into my sides. I screamed with laugher and Ianto ran out of his office.
"Ianto, Help!" I yelled between fits of laugher.
He laughed slightly and shook his head, "Jack let her up its bad enough you're putting her in danger of us, injury and other things now she's in danger of exhaustion." Jack laughed and stopped.
"Thank…you…Ianto." I said between gasps of air. Ianto helped me up and we shared a hug.
"It's nice to see you again Zorah," he said.
"And you. Thanks again for saving me."
He laughed, "Anytime."
Jack looked at me, "Alright, so Zorah do you want to meet the rest of the team or would you rather stay and talk to Ianto?"
"Do you want the truth?"
"No."
"Then I want to go meet the team."
Jack laughed, "Too bad, Ianto's busy. Right Ianto?"
"Yes, I have a weevil to look after. I'll see you later though." I nodded and we walked off in opposite directions.
