"And you…well you could be about to die…if I so wished that fate upon you." the woman flicked her wrist and holstered her pistol. The four other people tipped their guns so that they no longer pointed at Ianto and Owen.

"Get out of here" growled one of the hooded figures in a deep, rough voice. Ianto stumbled away quickly getting out of the alley hiding his gun in his jacket, whilst Owen trudged away.

The remaining figures stood staring after them for a minute before turning to each other. "Hayden, scouting report." The woman barked at the hooded figure who had ordered Ianto and Owen away.

Hayden pulled down his hood revealing his closely shaven head in an army style. "Those three seemed to be it," his voice had become lighter and less threatening but the growl was still there. "If there were more they've hidden themselves well and aren't planning to strike tonight."

"And what about that energy signal we had found, Alex?" the woman turned her attention to the figure leaning out of a window.

Alex twisted her legs out of the window and hopped down to the ground before pulling off her hood. Her blonde hair reached down to the small of her back and her eyes were distinctively dark. "Well we reached the spot where the signal appeared to be coming from and found nothing there. The trace very suddenly disappeared."

"That seems suspicious to me but we can't do anything about it from here. We'll have to get back to the base and analyse anything you found at the scene. What did you find there, Jamie?" The woman's attention switched once again to another member of the team who swiftly followed suit with his fellow teammates.

He removed his hood revealing his spiked red hair; his bright blue eyes gleamed making it impossible to miss them when looking at his face. "We found traces of an unknown substance and the exact position of where the energy was from there appeared to be something strange there. I felt as if I was looking at something but there was nothing there to look at, once we get back I'm going to go through all known alien technologies to see if I can tell what might have caused it."

"Ok, now, let's get back. Ash, go get the car."

The final member turned without so much as a nod and disappeared out of the alley. A few moments later a large, black, unmarked vehicle drove up to the edge of the alley. Ash sat at the wheel.

"Now get in the car," she ordered at the team each one stood to attention before speaking in unison. "Yes ma'am,"

They all ran to the car except for Jamie who grabbed the woman's arm to spin her around. "Jess, what if this is something big, we've come away from the base to simply find nothing and nothing's happened except a normal attack. Why would that happen unless something big was going on, or there was some kind of mistake? With our luck, it'll be the end of the world again,"

"It could be anything," Jess snapped. "Now get to the car and we'll deal with it, just like we always do."

They spun round and ran to the car.
