Chapter 1

"Sophie, can you check the incoming message please, the monitor won't shut up so it's obviously urgent"

The Doctor begs me to see the message as he searches for something in one of the cupboards. I swing the monitor round and tap it a few times before the message comes up.

"Um, Doctor, it's from Torchwood. A Captain Jack Harkness wants to see you and he says it's urgent"

"What?"

The Doctor abandons the cupboard and rushes over before taking his glasses out of his pocket, putting them on and frowning at the screen.

"What does Jack want now? We haven't seen him since world war two! The Doctor exclaims, looking at Rose who just shrugs at him. "Oh well, we'll have to go to the year 5 billion another time". I gape at him and he frowns at me.

"What?"

I dash to my back pack and pull out a load of papers. A few weeks ago I had persuaded the Doctor to let me get my drawings in case I should ever need them. It was also a chance to see my mother again. Boy wasn't that a day and a half! I search frantically through the papers before I come across my story about world war two. I show it to him and point to a figure in a dark trench coat with a backpack.

"That Jack?" I ask him. The Doctor looks at me, dumbfounded, before looking at the story.

"Yes Sophie, that Jack" he mutters, staring at the picture rather venomously. I pick it up and put it back in my bag, hoping to lighten his mood but he acts hostile and sullen to me for the rest of the trip to Torchwood. Once we've landed, we set off to the front desk where a blonde woman sits typing at her computer. The Doctor approaches her and pulls out the psychic paper from his trouser pocket. The woman looks up, startled.

"Hello, I got a message from Captain Jack Harkness. He said he needed to speak to me urgently"

The woman taps something into her computer and then directs us to an elevator and tells us to press for the 15th floor. The Doctor seems to be on a mission and soon me and Rose are jogging to keep up with him. We reach the relevant corridor and spot Jack sitting at a desk and talking to someone through a radio. The Doctor strides over to him with a smile.

"Hello Jack, good to see you again" The Doctor exclaims, shaking Jack's hand and patting him on the back.

"Doctor! It's good to see you too! And Rose, of course" Jack replies, hugging Rose and then looking at me with interest.

"And who is this, may I ask?"

"I'm Sophie" I say, smiling because he looks exactly like he does in my drawings.

"Yeah, she's, um, my little sister" The Doctor says, scratching the back of his neck. Jack's eyes widen and he looks from the Doctor to me and back to the Doctor in a nanosecond before smiling again and swinging me round in a hug like the Doctor sometimes does.

"Well, Sophie, I can say it's very nice to meet you. Who'd have known you had a sister?" he said. The Doctor smiled.

"I know. Anyways, what's so urgent Jack?"

"Right, well for the past 5 weeks I have been getting strange signals but whenever I or someone else on the team tries to trace it, we come up with nothing. It's there one minute and then gone the next. No one can find it, not even the Head of the department. And these signals turn out to be words but they are just single words. So far we've had 'Queen', 'takeover', 'country', 'mind' and 'control'"

The Doctor frowns and looks at the papers that Jack is showing him. Me and Rose are looking around when we notice a young girl rushing up to us holding what appears to be a very high tech gun.

"Jack! Jack, I fixed it!"

The girl runs up to Jack and hands him the gun. I stare at her, dumbfounded, knowing somehow that I've seen her before. She is wearing blue coveralls, the top half undone and tied around her waist. She's wearing a t-shirt underneath and a cap and there is grease all over her face and hands. Her short red hair is just visible, poking out the sides of her cap. Suddenly, I know who she is.

"Jade? Is it really you?"

The girl turns around and when she sees me, she is gobsmacked.

"Sophie?"

"Jade?!"

"Sophie! It is you! Oh my days!"

Jade rushes up to me and gives me a massive hug.

"But how, I mean, when did you-" I start but I am interrupted by the Doctor and Jack.

"Um, what's going on here?"
