Chapter 10
(Johns team are walking down a corridor when Jenny tells them all to stop)
Alan: (whispers) What is it?
Jenny: (whispers) I hear voices, I'm just gonna peek around the edge.
(Jenny looks around the corner which opens into a large room where she can see the Sontarans).
Jenny: (whispers) It's them, it's the Sontarans
Amy: I'll call the Doctor's lot here
Pete: I'll get Jackie and Mickey's lot
Alan: I guess, I'll get Sarah Jane and Clyde's lot.
(They all dial numbers on their mobiles. With Jack's small team)
Ianto: So Mickey, how did you meet Jack?
Mickey Oh it was ages ago, did you hear about the Earthquake in Cardiff a few years ago?
Ianto: Yeah, I heard from Tosh and Owen, who were the only ones on the team at that time that Jack had made them and the other person on the team Suzie leave Cardiff, why was that?
Jack: Because I couldn't have future me interacting with past me
Ianto: Huh!
Mickey: Basically, the Doctor and Rose met Jack in 1941 and took him with them on their travels, I met up with them in Cardiff 2005 when the Doctor was refuelling the TARDIS on top of the rift, so future Jack who had already lived through that, knew that he couldn't interact with his past self in fear of disrupting the time line so he minimised the risk of that by taking the team out of the city, am I right?
Jack: Bingo, never thought you were that smart
Jackie: Oi, now you Mr Harkness need to answer one of my questions.
Jack: Its Captain
Jackie: I don't care if its King of Timbuktu, you need to answer this
Jack: What is it?
Jackie: Why were you hanging around my Rose in the 90s, when she was growing up?
Jack: Ah, I was wondering when this would come up. Basically, I got stuck in 1869 after I got separated from Rose and the Doctor, so I lived though the entire 20th Century, waiting for a version of his to coincide with me, also I missed her, I missed Rose, so I went to the estate and watched her.
Jackie: Oh, well ...
(Jackie's phone rings so she answers it)
Jackie: Yeah got it, ... we'll be there in a minute
(Jackie puts the phone back in her pocket)
Jackie: Pete says they've found the Sontarans
Jack: Great let's go
(They all walk off. With Sarah Jane's group)
Tosh: You know Miss Smith, Torchwood follows your work.
Sarah Jane: First of all its Sarah Jane and really?
Owen: Yeah, Jack makes us do it.
Sarah Jane: He does?
Tosh: To be honest he makes us keep an eye on loads of people.
Sarah Jane: Can you remember any of their names?
Tosh: Yeah, there's a Jo Grant, Ian and Barbara Chesterton, Harry Sullivan and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart amongst others.
Sarah Jane: There's an explanation for that, they're all ex companions of the Doctor, well strictly speaking the Brigadier isn't he's a just a good friend but yeah, all those people you mentioned have either travelled with or come into contact with the Doctor.
Martha: Does he make you keep an eye on me and Mickey.
Owen: Yeah, sorry Martha
Martha: If I could I would kill that man.
Clyde: What do you mean if you could?
Tosh: Jack can't die
Clyde: What, serious...
(Clyde answers his phone when it starts ringing)
Clyde: Gotcha Alan, see you in a minute
(Clyde puts his phone away)
Clyde: Mr Jackson says they've found the Sontarans
Sarah Jane: Off we go then
(They walk away. With the Doctor's team)
Maria: Doctor, why'd you change, Luke said you looked completely different the last time he saw you, like that John guy?
Doctor: I did it to save Donna's grandfather Wilf, he was trapped in this chamber which was about to fill with radiation that would've killed him, so I got him out and I went inside, absorbed the radiation and regenerated, met Amy, not long after that.
Gwen: Why couldn't you just get him out and not take his place?
Doctor: Because it was a two cubicle chamber, one of which had to be manned at all times
Gwen: Oh
Jake: Did it hurt?
Doctor: It always hurts
(Martha's phone which she gave to the Doctor rings and so he answers it)
Doctor: Yeah Amy, we'll be there faster than you can say Geronimo.
(He puts the phone away)
Doctor: Let's go
(They all walk away)
