Chapter 4
That night Rhys was driving one of his old trucks with Jack riding shotgun. Gwen and Rex were in the back dressed in black. Lois was in hub monitoring everything while Mary was watching the two kids and on standby if she was needed.
The truck stopped a block from the water facility so Gwen and Rex, who were carrying packs, could get out.
While they were stopped Jack asked Rhys, "Are you sure there are bottles of water to pick up?"
"Yes, my friend said that they have been bottling water and selling for months now," Rhys replied and added, "He also said there is an American who is ex-navy working at nights."
"I wonder if he's friends with Dorothy," Jack pondered.
"I'll ask for you," Rhys said as he started driving again.
While Rex and Gwen enter through the back, cutting open a fence to do it, Rhys and Jack stopped at the gate.
"Hey, Rhys. You did get the job," The Welsh guard said.
"Yeah. Jack wants to know if the American over there is friends with Dorothy." Rhys stated.
The Welsh guard turned to the American guard and asked, "Hey the other guy wants to know if you are friends with Dorothy?"
The American nodded and walked over to Jack. They started to talk while Rhys and the Welsh guard did the paperwork.
"There are more and more bloody Americans around since you know who became president," The Welsh guard commented.
"I hear Canada is flooded with them," Rhys responded.
"Thank God we're not Canadians," The Welsh guard said as he let Rhys drive the truck to the loading bay.
Jack caught up with Gwen and Rex. Gwen knocked out the cameras with her wand-like device. Rex picked the lock and the three entered the building. While Gwen continued to knock out cameras Rex picked the lock to the water control room and Jack kept watch for guards.
"Lois, any guards?" Jack asked into his headset.
"No, none of them are moving," Lois replied.
"Something is wrong. I can feel it." Gwen warned.
The three got into the water control room that was full of ugly slugs.
"Throw salt on them. It'll get rid of them." Jack ordered.
All three threw salt on the slugs and slugs melted away.
They hear Rhys over there headsets, "Hurry, it's too quiet and I'm almost loaded."
"You're actually doing the job?" Rex asked.
"Yeah, it's money and we can test the water before we deliver it," Rhys replied.
In no time the three got to the truck. Rhys was already in a truck when a flash grenade landed between Jack, Rex, and Gwen. When the grenade went off it knocked Jack, Rex, and Gwen to the ground. A group of people in black clothes grabbed Jack as an old black SUV with the word Torchwood on it pulled up to the group. They got Jack in first then they got in and left to the back gate.
Meanwhile, Rhys was on his headset reporting to Lois. He got out and helped Gwen and Rex into the truck. He drove to through the open front gate.
"Lois, do you have eyes on Jack?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, I am following them out of Cardiff," Lois reported.
"We need to follow," Gwen insisted.
"No, you need to get your ass home so I can check you and Rex out!" Mary demanded.
"Yes, Mother," Gwen agreed with a headache.
The three headed back to the Torchwood complex.
