Sickness and Suicide Missions

Jack grunted as he hit his head against the tree's trunk again. An hour ago, he got a hold of Theta and Rose and told him the situation. Theta didn't seem too worried about his little sister, but Rose convinced him they had to go back. That was an hour ago.

'What is taking them so long?'

Jack sighed and looked down as his communicator. 'Maybe…'


Aaron groaned and rolled over to her side. She felt horrible. After she woke up from her nap a while ago, she couldn't hold anything down.

"How are you holding up little fella?" A voice asked.

Aaron slowly rolled over to her side to come face to face with Aidan. "I am fine, just a little sick."

"You are not running a fever."

"Its just lack of sleep big fella, don't worry." Most of it was mumbled as she slipped into a deep sleep. Aidan shook his head. He was worried about her. He was confused though, she doesn't smell like she's sick, something else, but he couldn't figure out what.

A low beeping stopped his train of thought. Looking around for the source of the noise, he noticed and ear piece lying on the table beside the bed. 'Communication device.'

Picking it up, and putting it in his ear, he presses a few buttons until a clear voice came through.

"Aaron! Aaron honey its Jack. Please answer me. Honey I'm worried. Aaron, Aaron?"

"This is Aidan of Planète de Chien, protector of Aaron, who is this?"

"I am Captain Jack Harkness, friend of Aaron Sigma, why do you have her communication device?" It was more of a demand then a question.

"Aaron is asleep. She is tired from her journey and will continue out her mission when the sun sets. I am protecting her until she wakes."

"Can I talk to her?"

"How can I trust you?"

"Please. I'm worried about her."

Aidan smiled, 'This must be her mate.' He thought and went over to the sleeping girl. He gently shook her awake. "Aaron, little fella wake up. You mate is wishing to talk to you."

"Mmm…wa?" She asked as she rubbed her tired eyes.

"You mate, Harkness, wishes to speak with you." He said and held out the ear peace. Her eyes widened and snatched it out of his hand and put it in her ear.

"Jack?"

"Aaron thank god! When I could get a hold of you I thought you were hurt! Why are you doing this Aaron? You know I, and your family could help you. You shouldn't do this alone!"

"Jack I have to do this, and I'm not dragging my whole family into this!"

"Aaron…"

"No!" She said and threw the earpiece across the room, and screamed when it didn't break. She got out of bed and headed out the door, saying she was going for a walk. Aidan frowned and went over to the earpiece and put it back in his ear.


Jack ran a rubbed his face and leaned his head back against the tree. The love of his life was on a suicide mission.

"Harkness?"

Jack straitened up quickly, "Yes?"

"Meet at the south gate of the fence at 2100 hours (9 o'clock). I will make sure I will bring Aaron to you personally."

"Thank you, Aidan." Jack said and disconnected the link. He sighed and leaned back against the tree again.

"What happened?" A voice asked.

Jack jumped up and was about to attack when he noticed that it was Theta and Rose. He relaxed and ran a hand through his hair. He began to tell them the plan.
