Warnings: SLASH, CHILD ABUSE, SEXUAL ABUSE, SEXUAL THOUGHTS AND INNUENDOS (it is Torchwood) SWEARING AND GRAPHIC KISSING SCENES


Nobody was speaking to each other, Jack was concentrating on the map muttering to himself and Tosh was fidgeting looking uncomfortable at the lack of technology here, she was clutching to her PDA like a lifeline.

I was sitting on the seat making coffee for when Gwen and Owen return then suddenly Jack's phone rang, Jack answered looking confused then after a moment his face went grim, apparently he's recieved bad news.

"Right Owen and Gwen have found a dead body." he said gravely, I grabbed the crime scene tape and medical kit and followed them both as we both headed off into the woods.

Eventually we arrived to the sight of a carcass covered in blood, I handed Owen his medical kit and started taping off the area.

"Well, it's not Ellie Johnson, that's for sure." Owen said analysing the corpse "This is a male, late 40s, 50s. Wasn't killed here. No blood spatter or signs
of a struggle. Must have been brought here after he died." he commented

"Why do that? It's not like they've tried to bury him here." Gwen said confused, I glanced at her she was avoiding glancing at Owen and she looked slightly flushed, just like after her fire-arm training, so it was pretty obvious what had happened between the two before they found the carcass.

"Maybe you disturbed them and they ran away?" suggested Tosh looking at the body

"Maybe it's a warning." I suggested wrapping the tape around a tree "Whoever's responsible marking out their territory." they all ignored me which made me feel slightly hurt, I wasn't suprised though they must think I had no experience so I shouldn't be worthy of their attention, then I noticed Jack staring at me with slight approval, I flushed as I noticed his eyes glance down my body quickly before he turned to the body.

"Cause of death?" he asked quickly, he must of thought I didn't notice him looking at me.

"Impossible to say." Owen admitted sounding embarrassed and frustrated he couldn't work it out "The body's been stripped of the flesh and bodily organs. So, all that's left is a carcass." he added waving his hand over the corpse.

"Could the Weevils have come out this far?" asked Tosh sounding uncertain

"No, Weevils don't finish off their victims like this." replied Jack slowly, he frowned in thought, Probably trying to figure out what did this.

I heard a car starting in the distance, I frowned in confusion this place looked deserted who could be out here instead of us?

"Is that ours?" questioned Tosh uneasily

"Yeah." replied Jack quickly, we all quickly ran towards the camp site as fast as we could.

I quickly sprinted through the trees, and arrived just in time to see the car being driven away.

I groaned at the sight off the mess left, which I knew I would have to clean up, I heard Jack scream in frustration.

"What the hell where you thinking leaving the car unlocked? My stuff was in there!" bellowed Tosh to Owen who looked uncomfortable

"I'm sorry!" he said quickly apparently trying to get back in Tosh's good graces, Tosh was having none of this.

I quickly pulled out my PDA trying to track the SUV signal since Tosh wasn't.

"Basic security protocols, Owen!" she growled

"Oh, get off your high horse, Tosh!" he snapped "I was carrying that stupid gear."

"What, the whole time?" she asked skeptically

"And then I was trying to put that bloody tent up. And then ... well, yeah, I sort of forgot that I'd left some stuff in there. But I'm sorry. I'm human. I ballsed up." he said looking apologetic

"Looks like that body wasn't a warning. More of a decoy." sighed Jack

Gwen frowned "That would mean we've been watched since we've arrived." she said sounding worried, I swallowed worry twisting in my gut at the fact we've been getting watched.

"Tosh, can you get a tracking signal?" Jack asked absently, Tosh rumaged in her bag looking for her PDA.

"Already done. I took the liberty." I said waving my PDA, I hoped this would make them like me more and show they could trust me.

They all headed over to look at my PDA "It's currently 3.4 miles west from here." I informed them

"Gunning at ninety, no doubt." said Owen "You steal a piece of equipment like that, you drive straight on till morning"

"Actually, no" I said frowning slightly at the PDA making sure the information hasn't changed "It's been stationary for the past four minutes. I'd go so far as to say it was parked." I added dryly enjoying Owen's look of annoyance at getting corrected.

"There's a small village in that area. Other than that, nothing for thirty miles." Gwen said looking at the map.

"Call me suspicious, but this has all the hallmarks of a trap." commented Tosh looking uneasy at being without her technology and slightly irritated at me, probably for tracking the SUV's signal.

"Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing." commented Jack "Anyone fancy a walk?" he asked rhetorically, Owen and Gwen shared an annoyed look.

I shrugged and followed, what's the worst that could happen looking for a car?
