Jack arrived on Bannerman Road by that afternoon. Puzzling over Gwen's note and the instructions she had left had kept him occupied on the train from Cardiff to London and on the bus out to Ealing. Why would Gwen send him to see Sarah Jane Smith? Who did she mean by "they" and why would "they" need him? By the time he reached the door of 13 Bannerman Road, Jack had decided that if he was going to get answers he would just have to follow Gwen's directions and trust her. Taking a deep breath, Jack raised his hand to ring the bell. Jack, yelled a voice inside his head, just ring the doorbell.
Jack rolled his eyes at the voice, which come to think of it sounded a bit like that of one Gwen Elizabeth Cooper, and pushed the button. Soft footsteps could be heard coming from inside the house. Jack moved back slightly on the stoop as the door opened and froze. The face in the doorway was not that of Sarah Jane Smith nor did it belong to her son. In the open doorway stood a teenage girl, her long, dark blonde hair falling loose around her shocked face. The girl stared for a moment and then uttered the two most surprising words Jack had ever heard. "Uncle Jack?"
Ooh, a cliffy…I know short chapter, but it seemed like a good spot to put the break.
Reviews and advice always appreciated.
