Hello! This is a story about Torchwood (obviously) it's set right after Jack comes back from his paradox year with the Doctor. Captain John Hart has not come yet. Never really happened just an idea I wanted to write. Hope you enjoy!
"Left!" Toshiko was watching the tracking device
"Another left, through the field, it'll be bumpy but quicker. Then to the department store, that's where they're headed" Ianto told Owen
"You sure?" Owen asked skeptically from the drivers seat
"Yes. Now go!" Owen barreled through the field
"How did you know that?" Jack asked
"Seemed logical, sir. Fields empty in the winter anyway, the department store is the only big place to go" Ianto smiled as the SUV jerked to a stop
"Go, go, go!" Gwen jumped out of the car and they all followed her into the department store.
"Gwen, Owen and Toshiko go to the left. Ianto and I will go right. Now move!" Jack split off the side and Ianto followed, after shooting the elevator commands
"The point of that?" Jack asked while running up the stairs
"Well sir, now they can't escape by elevator," Ianto replied
"Think of everything why don't you," Jack muttered
"Thanks sir, I will," Ianto pulled the fire alarm and immediately janitors burst out of the doors and ran downstairs. Jack watched one run by and then shook his head and kept going
"Wouldn't have been crowded at night but helpful to have the civilians out of the was sir,"
"Tosh, where are they headed?" Jack asked through the comm.
"One floor above you, two above us. They're the only two still going up, others are all headed down," came her reply
"Why so slow?" Jack teased
"Owen here twisted his ankle," Gwen muttered
"Out before it begins, eh Owen?" Jack laughed
"Not my bloody fault, ruddy janitors running around. Who pulled the alarm anyway?" Owen snapped
"Sorry, I didn't want them getting in the way" Ianto apologized
"At least someone's thinking" Gwen said
"So Tosh, they stopped yet? Jack asked
"Not yet, seems like they're headed to the roof,"
"No, wait something's not right…" Ianto paused and frowned
"Ianto, come on," Jack looked back
"Sorry sir, but something doesn't make sense,"
"Oh and what's that, wonder boy?" Owen laughed sarcastically
"Let him talk." Jack commanded
"Tosh how are we tracking them?" Ianto asked
"Heat signals and CCTV," she replied
"Have we gotten any clear pictures of their faces recently?"
"Uh… no. No pictures of faces actually,"
"Shit" Ianto whispered
"What?" Jack asked
"There were way too many janitors for this time of night,"
"Guys back down! We've been tricked!" Jack shot pass Ianto and speed down the stairs
"Great. Why can't we use the elevators?" Owen complained. Ianto bowed his head and kept running
"Never mind that, it would take longer anyway. Tosh are there any near us?" Jack asked quickly
"One level down, the picture shows he has a gun. Picture's gone." Jack burst through the door and pointed his gun at the man standing in front of them
"Hands over head and up against the wall." Jack ordered. The man did as he was told and he stood with his back to the door of the lift.
"Where are the others?" Jack asked. "Where!" he yelled
"In such a hurry you left the car running didn't you. All the files waiting to be taken," the man smiled "bye." He stepped back into the open doors of the lift but instead of his feet touching ground he fell down the cute all the way to the bottom.
"I guess it was useful for something after all," Ianto smiled
"Owen did you leave the car running?" Jack rushed back to the stairs
"Uh, maybe. Possibly… probably… yeah,"
"Now we're in trouble," Jack whispered and vaulted down the stairs five at a time
"Better get to the car," Ianto told the others. When they reached the ground floor Ianto paused before opening the door
"But sir, what if they fire when it opens?" He asked
"Then let the immortal man go first," Jack pushed passed Ianto and stepped into the open.
"Come on out!" Jack yelled and Ianto slid out behind him. "Don't be shy!" A man in a janitor suit walked out from behind the SUV. "Here we go,"
"You will not get us." The man told them
"'Us?' There's only one of you," Jack laughed. But as he laughed the man split into two people, and the two people split again, and they kept splitting, making more copies of themselves.
"Splitting aliens, great. Now all we need is the rest of the team and we'll be even." Ianto murmured
"What is it with you and not listening to us! We called you on comm. for ages!" Gwen burst through the door and Ianto turned around. He barely had time to smile before hearing a loud band and being shoved to the ground. Ianto looked up to se Jack pulling a dart from his arm and smiling crazily
"Well that's… interesting," Jack whispered before falling to the ground
