Hayley and the monster shared the glance for what seemed like a long time, but in reality, it was only a matter of 30 seconds. The glance however, was broken when Hayley was shoved into the corner.
"Alright, thats it!" Jack yelled. After the monster's last move, Jack was ready to lock this thing up, then maybe it would talk.
"Tosh, how do we get this thing locked up?" Jack asked over the communication system.
"Figuring that out right now. Give me a second." She said. Right after She said that, Jack heard a scream.
"Jack, look out!" It was Hayley, but he figured that out AFTER he got slapped across the face by the monster.
"Man, this is just like that night when-"
"Jack!" Tosh interrupted his thought.
"Tosh! Tell me you've got an answer for this puppy."
"Owen! Look out!" Hayley yelled. But of course, being that he couldn't see what he was looking out for, he got waked.
"Ok, we're hooking up the teleportation system to Hayley's room. I've set up a cell that wont let anything in or out unless we set it, so every living thing in that room will get transported into the cell, then we can let you out from there. The thing is-"
"-Alright Tosh, just do it!" Jack interrupted. He was sick of getting hit by something he couldn't see. A few seconds later, everything turned blue, then black.
...
Jack gasped, they all did. He looked around. Owen was running to Hayley who was laying motionless on the floor. Blood was pouring from her head which was laying on the concrete bed that raised from the floor and jetted out from the wall. Her head looked like it hit the corner. Owen was blasted off his feet. Jack watched as Hayley was lifted off the floor and floated, unconsciously, in mid air, like the monster was holding her. Jack watched through the glass wall as Ianto came running into the cellar followed by Gwen and then Tosh.
"get us out of here!" Jack yelled.
"The problem is, is I'm trying to figure out how we can get you guys out without the monster getting out." A few seconds passed of her typing on her mechanical device she was carrying.
"Ok, You guys go into the next cell as soon as I open the door, if the monster doesn't get in, we will lock it in, then let you guys out of the cell next door."
"Ok!" Jack looked at Owen who was gathering himself up from the floor. Owen nodded at him showing that he heard Toshiko.
"Tosh-" Gwen said, tapping her arm. Tosh hadn't actually looked up from what she was doing. When she did, she saw Hayley floating unconsciously in mid air.
"Oh my G-d." Gwen and Ianto said together.
"Don't worry! I'll get her, lets just do this!" Jack yelled.
"Right." Tosh said.
"Opening the door in 3, 2, 1-" The door to the next cell opened. Owen ran through. In that quick second, Jack ripped Hayley out of the air and ran her through the door which closed behind them, quickly, and automatically. Jack and Owen were panting slightly, due to the rush of adrenaline pumping through them, getting them out of that ordeal. Jack took a glance at Hayley and Owen for, what seemed the first time, realizing how much damage that thing had done to them. Owen had, already, a puffy black eye and many scrapes including one large gash on his forehead that was leaking blood onto the rest of his face, reminding Jack of one of his soldier in his squadrent in world war II after a grenade had blown apart half his make-shift shelter they had built. Not to mention the other large gashes and bruises that covered what used to be his flawless hands. Hayley Lay on the floor, unconscious. Jack rushed to her side, though Owen was already there, checking her hearts. She had a gash on her forehead even larger than Owen's that was spilling blood quickly. She also had many cuts and scrapes on her face and a large bruise that seemed to be getting larger on her jawline that spread onto her cheek. She also had a large dark-colored bruise that covered her left elbow, and again, many scrapes, cuts, and smaller bruises. Jack didn't even look at himself.
"Tosh, is the monster contained in it's cage?" Jack asked. Ianto and Gwen were watching Owen and Jack through the glass wall. Actually, it isn't exactly glass, for it is strengthened and held together much more durable than glass by alien technology, but for the sake of easiness, lets call it glass.
"Yes." Tosh said, still looking at her device she was holding.
"OK, lets get her to the medical room." Owen said, referring to Hayley. Tosh let them out of the cage and Jack carried Hayley to the, what was mostly the 'autopsy room', but has recently been decided to change it to the 'medical room' due to so many recent needs of the word 'medical' and not 'autopsy', thank goodness may I just add.
Jack laid Hayley on the medical table gently. Owen quickly put his white doctor's jacket on and rushed to Hayley's side. He checked her hearts, and her breathing to make sure she was in no life threatening medical danger. He went on to examine her head. He cleaned the gushing wound up. It seemed she it it pretty badly and that was probably the reason she was out, but just in case, he started an IV drip and decided to take an X-ray of her head. He looked over her limbs and found her left elbow to be exceedingly swollen and dark colored. He decided to take an X-ray of that as well. After Owen was finished cleaning up the major wounds on Hayley, he went to go get the portable X-ray machine. Jack took the damp wash cloth and started cleaning Hayley's smaller wounds on her face. The impact of what he had done hit him all of a suddenly. 'I should never, NEVER have used her as, well, 'fish bate'. A tear leaked from his eyes, though no one saw. He bent to Hayley's ear and whispered.
"I'm sorry."
Owen stood looking at the X-ray viewer on the wall. It was like a white board that lit up and you hang the X-rays on it so you can see it better. He viewed Hayley's X-rays with particular care. Ianto watched from the railing looking over the medical room, onlooking Owen, and Hayley. Jack had gone out to get some breath air- suggested by Ianto. After a while of starring at the X-rays, Owen walked up the stairs. He whipped his forehead. Ianto looked at him questioningly.
"I can get it-" Ianto offered, but Owen cut him off.
"No, its ok, I'll get it." He said, walking away. Ianto looked back at Hayley laying on the medical bed. He walked down to her. Its funny when humans are in the presence of others that are not able to consciously talk back, because they feel inclined to talk to the person, which is exactly how Ianto felt, though he didn't know what to say. Instead he reached out and gently moved a piece of hair from her face. Ianto hoped she would wake up soon. He was about to say something, but just then, he heard someone walking down the steps. It was Jack. He walked up beside Ianto and put a hand on his shoulder. They shared a silent glance. It was broken by the sound of a small wince. They looked at Hayley. She was starting to stir. Jack went to the other side of her bed. He started stroking her hair.
"Hayley." Jack whispered. Her head moved a little at her name. Her eyes started opening. She started crying a little.
"Its ok, its ok. Shh." Jack said softly. She cried a little more as the world came into focus.
"Ow." She whispered, half consciously.
"I know. Its ok." Jack said. She looked at Ianto, then Jack, realizing where she was. She started moving quickly.
"where is it?" She asked, looking around.
"Its ok, its locked up." Ianto said. She looked at him, but she seemed to loose focus and went into a blank stare.
"Hayley." Jack said. She didn't respond.
"Hayley!" Jack said louder. She didn't respond.
Suddenly, she took a deep breath in and looked around again. She looked at Jack.
"Are you ok?" He asked. She took a breath in.
"Yeah."
