Chapter 4: A nice visit from a Doctor

Due to Hally's broken arm, Torchwood member Owen Harper was sent over to do a health check on all the kids.

As Hally read something like this on the message board outside the main office. Her heart sank.

She had two hearts.

They would find out.

And then what would happen.

Now Hally really knew what sick felt like.

She looked down the notice.

Today's health check :

Ross 5:00

John 5:10

Katie 5:20

Becky 5:30

Janie 5:40

Hally 5: 50

Josh 6:00

Sam 6:10

Laura 6:20

Jack 6:30

Tyler 6:40

Jenny 6:50

Rose 7:00

Lily 7:10

Catherine 7:20

Sophie 7:30

At 5:00 everyone was told to line up.

Hally was so nervous, she really needed to be sick and she could feel her face warming.

Becky came out and Hally knew it was nearly her turn.

10 minutes seemed like a decade. Hally finally stepped into the room.

Owen smiled at her and welcomed her to sit down, Hally looked away.

" First, were going to check your blood pressure."

He wrapped this black thing around her arm and it started to inflate, it felt funny like it was squeezing all the blood from her arm.

He next looked in Hally's ears, eyes and mouth.

He asked her questions whilst he did this, just general questions, Hally could see he was trying to avoid eye contact.

It was a good thing he did because Hally's eyes were lilac.

" All fine," He said as he reached into his pocket and brought out a stethoscope.

Hally breathed deeply, here we go , she thought.

He put on the stethoscope, and placed the cold metal thing on the left side of her chest. Hally could hear her two hearts beating.

He lifted it of that side and placed it on the other.

He frowned and did the process again.

He typed up something on the computer and pressed send, he then replaced his frown with another charming smile.

" Ok, next lets take a look at this arm of yours."

He took hold of arm and examined it.

He pressed and prodded at different places on her arm, asking her if it hurt. To his surprise it was all fine.

" Totally fixed in only two weeks" He muttered to himself, just loud enough for Hally not to hear, or so he thought.

" All seems fine, you've made a miraculous recovery, well done."

Hally quickly left the room.

Back at the Torchwood base ( The Hub) Owen Harper arrives back from, a medical check else where.

" You'll never guess what!" He came up to Jack and smiled.

" Our little friend, isn't what she turns out to be."

" Yer, she's an amazing runner that's all we need to know." Jack said.

" No, I'm being serious, today during the health check, she looked petrified, and I know why."

" Why would anyone be scared of you?" Gwen asked sarcastically.

" It's not hard!" Ianto chipped in.

They started to laugh but it quickly ceased and stunned silence hit the room.

" She's got 2 hearts." He smiled at the surprise on everyone's face.

" That's it!" Jack ran over to the files cabinet and pulled out one of the files saying:

Doctor

He rushed through it until he came to one particular page and thrust it in front of Owen.

"Here, I wrote down notes on my friend the Doctor, just in case Torchwood came across him in the future."

Can regenerate.

Two hearts.

Can repair themselves in a short amount of time.

Can be very dangerous.

Extremely clever.

And very active.

Run a lot!

" These are the readings I picked up on this friend of mine and she has exactly the same… umm… symptoms." Jack explained

" Symptoms! You make it sound like a disease!" Ianto said.

" You have an Alien friend?" Owen asked.

" That's not the point, she's a Time Lord!"

" Yer, and that thing says she could be dangerous." Gwen exclaimed.

They all looked at each other.

" If we leave now we can get there by 1:00am." Ianto said.

Meanwhile Hally had just been getting ready for bed.

And as Jack got into the car Hally was asleep.
