Jackie Tyler glanced at the clock anxiously. Rose had been due home from work an hour earlier. Work, for Rose Tyler, was the Torchwood Industry. She worked with ancient and mysterious objects and studied life in places not many people knew existed. Unfortunately for her, she had to do all of her research in the comfort of a thirty storey office block in London. She longed to be travelling through time and space with her companion, the Doctor. In comparison, Torchwood bored Rose. It didn't really reach her… potential.
Anyway, Jackie was worried about her daughter. She had never been happy about Rose working at Torchwood. Between you and me, she was very pleased when the Doctor and Rose were split up. No more adventures, she thought, no more danger. But Rose had other ideas. Since joining Torchwood two weeks ago, Rose had been chased by a 3 headed monster, threatened with the sack for outsmarting the boss and found a cure for petrifaction. You had to hand it to her – 2 weeks in the job and everyone there either loved her or hated her.
What Jackie didn't know, was that at this moment in time, Rose was working furiously in her office. She was having a breakthrough, something that mattered to her, something important, something revolutionary.
