I know, I left you guys with a SERIOUS cliffhanger, but I had a lot of other stuff going on and I was really buys, but here's the next chapter! Review please!
"What?" Clara's eyes opened wide. "You could save-"
"Clara! John! I think I found a way to where we started, it looks relatively safe, should we go?" Jack called back to them, breaking up their conversation.
"Yeah, we're coming." Clara shot the Doctor one more questioning look before crawling ahead to meet up with Jack.
"Right, so John, what do you think?" Jack turned to look at the Doctor when they were all crouched next to each other.
"It looks fine, yeah," but the Doctor avoided Jack's gaze as he looked down at the hallway below them. It was empty but rather long, "are there security cameras?" the Doctor asked,
"Yes, but they'll be stuck on this frame in 3…2…1… now." There was a flash of light and then Jack half-smiled, "we can go" He dropped down first then turned around to help Clara and the Doctor.
"That was a neat trick, how'd you do it?" the Doctor asked.
"Oh… it was something a uh… a friend taught me. Ianto. He uh… got this thingy that… never mind, let's keep moving." Jack walked ahead of them with his gun out, ready to shoot. Clara nudged the Doctor with her elbow but he shook his head and kept going. They walked in silence until they were met with a large locked door.
"I thought there might be something important behind here, unfortunately my sonic gun ran out of power, it's an old model and then someone had to change the entire place into a banana factory, but maybe with the three of us working together we can crack the code." Jack explained.
"Crack the code… by the code you mean the ten-digit combination that only allows three tries before it self destructs and blows us all to bits? That code?" the Doctor clarified.
"Oh… well I didn't know about that part, I guess we should get back to the ceiling to get to your… transportation." Jack turned around but then the Doctor grabbed his arm.
"Not so fast, if I am correct, which I usually am, then this door leads directly into the hallway that holds the closet where my transportation is parked. And if I'm still right, then they would have anticipated someone in the ceiling and heavily armed it against intruders so no one can get in. One of the reasons I parked her there, it would be very bad if she fell into the wrong hands. So, the only way in is through this door." The Doctor turned to smile at them, "luckily it isn't heavily wired against hacking." With that the Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and within a few seconds the door was open.
"Well, that was simple, come on then!" Clara rushed inside the hallway and the two men followed suit.
"Sonic screwdriver, ey? I've only met one person that's used a sonic screwdriver before, course it looked different than yours, it was blue, and a lot less… complicated. And he looked nothing like you, but then again… people can change." Jack mused,
"Yes, people can change, they can change a lot more than you think, and there are times when you think they're dead and they're not." The Doctor paused before turning to a closet, "in here, please." The three of them burst into the closet to see the TARDIS. "In, quick!" The Doctor ushered them inside and Jack looked around in amazement.
"It looks so… different," Jack smiled, "last time I was here it was…" Jack smiled at the memory before turning to the Doctor. "Hello Doctor," he said.
"Hello Jack," the Doctor replied. Jack smiled and gave the Doctor a huge hug,
"You son-of-a-bitch! Why didn't you tell me it was you?" Jack asked,
"I… I uh… I…"
"He didn't want to tell you everything else." Clara cut in. Jack stepped back and looked at the Doctor confusedly,
"Everything else meaning…?" Jack asked slowly
"Go on, tell him Doctor, or do you want me to tell him for you?" Clara glared at the Doctor. Sighing the Doctor straightened his bowtie,
"I think," the Doctor cleared his throat, "I think I know of a way to save Ianto."
