Chapter 1

Jack Harkness reluctantly stepped out of the TARDIS doors and onto the surface of planet earth.

It had been 200 years since he had last been here, 200 years for him at least.

On Earth it had been 30. The Doctor had made sure of that, setting the coordinates carefully and checking once they had landed, most uncharacteristcally of him.

Jack glanced behind him to see the Doctor nod and he steeled himself th walk a few miles to the watertower which had been rebuilt.

As he built up his nerve and mentally checked what he was going to say to Gwen, a black SUV rolled up towards him, TORCHWOOD on it's side.

Jack then did something that he was sure no one would ever let him live down if they could see him.

"What!" he exclaimed, then he winced. He'd been around the Doctor too long.

Two men jumped out of the SUV, and pointed guns at him.

"Hands up," the taller of the two said carefully "Don't make me shoot you."

Jack noted that he had a soft welsh accent, and looked familiar.

He quickly shut that line of thought off and put his hands up.

No sense in getting in getting killed on my first day back on Earth.

He glanced behind him and saw the Doctor wasn't there.

Not really surprising, he mused, He was always doing that, running away from me.

He was jerked out of his thoughts as his hands were pulled down and handcuffs were snapped around his wrists and he was marched towards the SUV.

The Doctor thought I needed closure. Well I'm being driven right towards it.

AN: I was unhappy with the end of season 3 so I decided to write a sort os sequel to it, and

Maybe the start of a new series.

Review please!!
