Gwen was on her way back to the Torchwood Hub. She got a call earlier this morning from Andy at the Police station. That is why she is running late for work. ' Hopefully Jack will take some interest in this.' She thought to herself. As she entered through the shop entrance she handed Ianto the jelly donut Andy had given her.
"Surprised your late for work." Ianto called out to her as she walked down the hall.
"Gwen. Where have you been?" asked Jack
"Got a call from a friend of mine. Seems to be some missing persons reports that look like something we need to investigate." replied Gwen as she sat down at Jack's desk.
"Really?"
"Yup. Look at this." Gwen opened one of the folders. "This couple here went to a resort in Italy as a vacation before their child was to be born."
"Yeah, so?"
"The couple went missing 3 months ago and haven't been seen since. The young woman was due to give birth 3 days ago."
"What do the Italian police think is behind it?"
"Well thats the thing. None of their stuff was taken just them. Jack. They're not the first expecting young couple to disappear either." Gwen tossed 35 more folders towards Jack.
"There is more?"
"Yes. Thirty five to be exact. The owners of the resort, when asked, that the couples must have ran away. I think they are hiding something."
"So you want us to investigate this?" Jack raised one eyebrow.
"Well yes. It could be some kind of alien eating or kidnapping them. Couldn't it?"
"Well it never hurts to go have a look."
"Good. I was thinking on sending Martha and Mickey undercover."
"Can't."
"Why Jack?"
"Well Martha is with UNIT at the moment working on project Indigo. They are trying to perfect it still. And Mickey is in Japan on assignment with Torchwood there."
"Well why not send myself and maybe Rhys. I'm sure Rhys and I can handle anything."
Jack thought about it for a minute before getting a smile on his face.
"What?" asked Gwen.
"How about we send in two couples."
"You and Ianto?"
"No!!! We need him to stay here in case of Weevil activity." Jacks smile got bigger. "I think I know just who we can send with you and Rhys."
"Who?"

Tardis
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Rose? You going to get up or should I just destroy that alarm clock of yours?" shouted the Doctor from the Tardis hallway.
"Mmmmppphhhhh."
"Rose?"
"Alright. Alright." Rose reached over and hit the snooze button then stretched out under her covers. She was soon up and heading for her bathroom. Turning on the water to the temperature that she liked to the shower, Rose began to undress. Pulling the pink shower glass door open, she got in and began to shampoo her hair. As she rinsed out her hair she began to feel dizzy. She closed her eyes then opened them, only to see the shower spin. After that everything plunged into darkness.
The Doctor was in the console room when he felt the Tardis brush his mind with fear. "What is it?" He felt the Tardis show an image of Rose on the floor and not moving. At this the Doctor began to panic. He ran as fast as he could towards her bedroom.
"Rose?" called out the Doctor. "Rose?" He looked around her room but she wasn't there. Looking towards her bathroom door the Doctor noticed the light was on. "Rose?" he knocked on the bathroom door. When there was no sound the Doctor pulled together his courage. 'Oh she isn't going like me after this.' He thought. He opened the door and peeked around it.
"Mmmmmfffffff." groaned Rose's form from inside the shower.
The Doctor continued to walk further in and glanced towards the shower. There she was crumpled on the floor.
"Rose? You alright?" He moved towards the shower door. When she didn't respond he opened the glass door and turned off the water. He reached for on of her big fluffy pink towels and quickly placed it around her body as he picked her up. He walked out of her bathroom and placed her on her bed. Then he began to check her for any injuries.
"Doctor?" Rose whispered as she began to regain consciousness.
"I'm right here. Easy, you seem to have fainted in the shower."
"Really? That's a first." As she moved she began to notice that all she had on was her towel. "Oh my god!!!" She quickly grabbed one of her throw blankets and covered herself.
"Ahhh. You humans and your embarrassment at being seen naked." chuckled the Doctor. "Now Rose what do you remember before you fainted?"
"All I know is I turned on the water began to wash my hair and then everything went blurry. I felt dizzy so I closed my eyes then opened them. That's all I remember before waking up out here."
The Doctor was about to ask her if he could scan her when the Tardis phone rang.
"Hold that thought." The Doctor got up and went out to the console room to answer it.
Rose waited in her room but had gotten into her clothes. ' At least now I am dressed.' she thought.
"Rose, you up for a trip to go visit Jack. He says he needs our help with something."
"Sure Doctor."
"I'll still want to examine you before we see Jack."
"Uh huh." she said. "If that's what you want to call it." whispered Rose to herself.

Preview for the next chapter:
"Look we are going to need another couple to go undercover with Rhys and Gwen."
"Where exactly is this place we are going to be going undercover located?" asked the Doctor.
"Italy. Turin, Italy to be exact. There is a little resort that a lot of young expecting couples go to before their baby is born." replied Jack.
"So your saying that Gwen and I are going to have to look pregnant for this undercover thing to work?" asked Rose.
"Not really pregnant. That is unless you and Doctor get busy and come back in a few months." Jack wiggled his eyebrows as the Doctors' face turned dark red and Rose was shifting uncomfortable in her chair. Their relationship hadn't got to that point yet.
Gwen reached over and smacked Jack upside the head. "Get your mind out of the gutter."
