"Rift activity," Gwen called through the hub to the other two occupants that were in there.
"Where is it?" Jack asked as he came out of his office to the alram and took the stairs two at a time. He was already shuffling his coat onto his arms as Ianto approached checking the bullets of the handgun in his hands before replacing it in it's holster.
"That new hotel that just opened, Silent Sleep," She replied as she joined the boys placing her own gun back after checking it's bullets. All three ventured through the cog door and into the black Torchwood SUV parked outside in the Plaze.
Jack took the steering wheel as they raced towards the scene. He managed to stop the SUV just before it hit the crowd of people that had gathered around. As the three stepped out they were approached by the Cardiff police. "Torchwood are you? Well she just fell, don't know how or even where from."
"Thank you," Gwen replied as Jack and Ianto had already began to make their way through the crowd. She soon followed after asking the ploice to move everybody away and that they would take it from here. The police, despite being annoyed with Torchwoods involvement, obliged anyway and soon, the scene was clear of any crowd and had been taped off with the yellow and black police tape.
The police had formed a perimeter to make sure that nobody unwanted entered the now temporary restricted area.
When the three had first seen the sight they all froze but soon after Gwen made the first move towards the body, Ianto followed. Jack remained fixed to his spot looking down at the young girl in front of him. Her arms were twisted and her legs seemed misshapen, probably from the fall. There was a pool of thick red blood from the large head wound on her forehead.
Ianto still couldn't bring himself to go near to the body as he had his hand over the mouth feeling sorry for the girl's family. Gwen held a device to measure rift particles and drifted it over the cold lifeless body. It beeped to show Gwen that it had finished.
"She's the one that came through the rift." She answered to the air before lifting her head with sorrowful eyes at Ianto and then towards Jack who still seemed to be rooted to the spot. Unable to move or even able to comprehend what was going on arond him. "Jack?" Gwen asked wondering what had come over him.
Jack heard his name and shook his head to rid his mind of any thoughts. "Sorry, she's just... so young." He slowly bent down next to the girl on one knee. He whispered to her, "I'm so sorry," unable to be heard by anyone around him. His voice was broken as he said this, almost as if he was trying hard to keep it together. He went to move a piece of hair that had fallen in front of her cold staring eyes.
As he moved his hand to her face he quickly brought it back as it was hit by the young girl who sat bolt upright gasping for air. Her chest moving up and down rapidly in time with her breathing. she muttered two words in between her breaths that only Jack heard and understood, "Not...Again..."
