Okay- so another long wait. and yes, i no longer have the excuse of my exams- it's just me being braindead again. i hope you like this chapter, it will answer MOST of your questions.

Gwen stared at Jack.

"Your Uncle?" she whispered hoarsely.

"Yes my Uncle,"

"Jack how is that even possible??"

Farad narrowed his eyes and pointed the gun at Jack's head.

"Too much talking" he sneered shooting him.

Tosh gasped in horror. Gwen rolled her eyes.

"I think that still hurts him y'know" she snapped angrily.

Farad chuckled cruelly. "That's the idea," he bent down beside Jack's body and ran a finger through his hair.

"Jack and his mother abandoned us when they left after the invasion of our home," he spat. "My wife, my daughter and I had to fend for ourselves. There was room for us to go with them- but they didn't wait."

"Is that why you came here?" Tosh asked, frowning.

"Not exactly," Farad continued. "We tracked my nephew here to this time. We monitored him- watched him set up Torchwood, travel with the Doctor, recruit you guys- we even came up with our own team name. 'Excalibur' exists to destroy everything Jack Harkness holds dear to him. Starting with Torchwood and ending with this world. Unfortunately, your boss here," at this point Farad paused to kick the still form lying beside him, "got wind of our plan. He tracked our daughter down to a school we had sent her to gather information from. He smuggled us out to some wasteland in the middle of Africa, threatened us with death if we told anyone and used a fake cover up story for our deaths."

"It was the only way to stop you," Jack groaned and slowly pulled himself up to his feet. "You know I warned you about it- several times."

Farad scoffed loudly. "Oh yes? Fuck off Jack I didn't hear from you until you decided to fake our deaths."

Gwen coughed loudly. "I hate up to break up this domestic," she snapped. "But what has Jack's 'mistakes' got to do with Tosh and me?"

"I thought I told you," Farad sneered. "We want to destroy everything Jack loves. Including you."

"Leave them out of this!"

They were interrupted by a blonde woman striding into the room. Her hair was also tied into a ponytail and she was dressed in a black dress and tall black boots.

"Welcome home Jack," she smiled. "Wanna kiss from your cousin?"

Jack grimaced. "Not really Lorraine." He forced a smile. "How are you anyway- you're looking unbelievably sexy,"

Tosh rolled her eyes.

Lorraine scowled. "That won't work anymore Jack," she walked towards them and pulled out a gun. Without hesitating, she raised it slightly and shot Tosh in the shoulder.

"Tosh!" Gwen rushed over and caught her as her friend collapsed.

Jack stood up and started towards her angrily. She smiled, and raised the gun again, this time shooting Gwen in the knee.

She screamed and collapsed next to Tosh, sobbing quietly while still trying to comfort her colleague.

"Why are you doing this?" Jack asked, clutching Gwen's hand tightly.

Lorraine didn't answer, but shot Jack in the stomach.

"Oh believe me Captain this is just the beginning," she laughed as Jack fell to the floor in agony.

Ianto stared at the note in horror.

"What the hell is this meant to mean?" he asked Owen.

"How the fuck should I know?" Owen replied angrily. "But I do know it means we have to find them- and quickly."

Ianto nodded. "But I don't think we can just rush in there with no plan. And we have no backup because no-one else knows about Torchwood."

Owen grinned. "I know a couple of people, but not enough to infiltrate anywhere- and they're not the best backup in the world."

"I thought you guys were meant to be secret," Ianto grinned.

"Yea well one of them is Gwen's fiancé, the other is a Police Officer who used to work with her."

"Ah…show's how careful Gwen is ay?"

Owen nodded. "Anyway, I'll give them a call- see if they can get down here on short notice. Rhys at least will want to save his girlfriend- and I'm pretty sure Andy has the hots for Gwen too."

"She's a pretty lass."

"Yea well I'm sure she is," Owen shrugged his shoulders in the cold. "Ianto, go down into the hub and gather any weapons you think we could need- I'll get Rhys and Andy down here as fast as possible."

Ianto nodded. "I'll meet you back here in ten minutes. I just hope that we're quick enough."
