DISCLAIMER:- I Do not own Sarah Jane Smith or K9.
This was just a bit of drabble, a thought really and I'm going to see where it goes.
She cried.
Too much history had caught up with her and all her old feelings were finally put to rest and she cried.
It did not matter to her that people saw her cry. It was a solitude place and barely anyone ever came here, but she had said her final goodbye to the best thing that ever happened to her in her life.
Sarah Jane Smith wiped the tears away. She had finally laid to rest what had been bothering her for the past few decades. She was flattered that the Doctor had offered to accept her once more on his journeys, but her adventures with the Doctor were over. She had convinced herself for years that this was the case, though Mr Finch and the Game of Rassilon proved otherwise.
A slight whirring sound was beside her. She looked down and K9 was strolling along the path beside her. K9 Mark IV, she corrected herself. K9 Mark III, one of her oldest friends, had blown itself up to save the Doctor, Rose and herself along with a bunch of kids and Mickey Smith. This would be a brilliant story for the newspaper, she thought.
Of course, she knew she could never reveal what really happened. She had no proper proof and the only thing she could report was that the school had blown up, with the head Mr Finch and majority of staff. She could no way explain to her editor that the staff were alien beings, intent on ruling the universe and on the way ate the majority of staff and quite a lot of children.
"Human approaching Mistress." K9 said in a robotic voice. Sarah Jane Smith had not been concentrating on the path at all, and looked up to see a black man walking towards her. There was no time for her to hide K9, so she needed to think of something quickly, if the man stopped and asked her at all.
"Sarah Jane Smith?" The black man said as Sarah Jane and K9 passed him. She had deliberately not looked him in the eyes, in case he did ask about K9. She looked at him. He was wearing a smart business suit, and looked like a very important man.
"Yes." Sarah Jane replied, not knowing what at all to expect from him, and how he even knew her name.
"My name is Adrian. I work for a special branch in the government and we would like you to work for us." The black man had said and held out his hand for Sarah Jane Smith to shake. She did, quite disbelieving that someone was offering her a job when she had a job already.
"What's the name of this branch?" Sarah Jane Smith asked, obviously curious.
"Torchwood. I will explain on the way." Adrian said and motioned Sarah Jane Smith and K9 forward.
This could be interesting, Sarah Jane Smith thought.
