Part 14
"Okay, are we ready for phase two?" Jack looked at the room expectantly as they exchanged confused glances. "Hmm, I'm sensing some difficulty with this," He changed tack, "Do you even know what phase two is?"
They voiced their dissent, shaking their heads, "We don't even know what this 'mission' is, Jack," Gwen shrugged.
Jack ignored this, "Ok, the plan for phase two is to take these," He held up a few digital cameras, "Wait outside the store cupboard for my signal, then suddenly kick down the door, cameras a blazin'!"
He grinned expectantly.
"So, this is basically 'taking the mick'?" Donna asked, taking a camera as Jack passed them around, "We take pictures of them snogging in the store room?"
"Well, yeah," Jack grinned, "Pictures do last longer, trust me; I've had first hand experience."
Donna was starting to catch on with the practical joke, "Is there anything after that, though? Any more phases?"
Jack stared at Donna for a moment, thinking, "I don't think so," He lifted up a hand and checked of two fingers as he spoke, "'Get them in the store cupboard', and then 'take the mick'."
Donna paused, an evil smile breaking out across her face, "I have an idea for phase three," Her grin grew almost impossibly larger, "Well, one day they'll have children, right? Weird Time Lord-Human hybrids, but kids none-the-less?"
Jack nodded slowly, trying to figure out where Donna was going with this, "Yeah, I guess. I've seen stranger..."
Donna continued, her evil grin still well and truly intact, "Well, we can wait until they're old enough, whip out the photos and announce to them 'this was how you were conceived, insert-hybrid-child's-name-here!"
Donna, whose voice had become progressively loud and alarming as the sentence was spoken, looked to her audience, grinning.
There was a pause.
Jack spoke first, "Two things, Donna. Firstly, let's try to refrain from calling them 'hybrid children', especially to their parent's faces; I don't think 'the Oncoming Storm' or the 'Bad Wolf' would like that, personally. Secondly, that's incredibly sick," He grinned, "But you know me, I do like sick. Shall we?"
Donna and Jack laughed maniacally, before snatching up more cameras, practically bouncing to the door.
Martha looked to Gwen and Ianto, "Well? We'd better be off. Can't miss this!"
She grinned madly, a little less crazily than Jack and Donna, but madly even so, picked up a camera and exited the room, Gwen and Ianto in her wake, slightly confused by the whole ordeal, but happy to join in the excitement of 'phase two'.

The Doctor and Rose were again wrapped up in each other, both mentally and physically. They were still occupying the small store cupboard and again snogging furiously against the narrow shelves that ran along on of the side walls. Rose was only vaguely aware of the various cleaning products, previously residing on the shelves, shifting behind her and cascading to the floor. She was clearly more focused on the Doctor, or more importantly, what the Doctor was doing and his wandering hands.
A sudden, horrible thought occurred to her and she pulled back slightly, opening her eyes and squinting at the Doctor through the darkness.
"Doc-" Rose was cut off suddenly as he kissed her again, working his way down her jaw to her neck. She spent a few seconds trying to remember what she was saying, and then a couple more deciding whether or not it was important enough to stop him.
It was then Rose remembered, very suddenly and very vividly. It hit her like a tonne of bricks.
"Oh," Her eyes snapped open in horror at the thought. She pulled the Doctor's head up with the intention to talk, but instead he slammed his lips back to hers, kissing her thoroughly. She leaned into him, and trying to squash the 'horrible, horrible thought' from her mind. After a few unsuccessful attempts in trying to forget, she decided to tell him.
"Doctor... we should... really... stop," She managed to gasp between his urgent kisses.
He pulled back slightly, brow furrowed in concern, "What is it?"
"I just had a bad idea," Rose bit her lip, thinking back to her earlier thoughts.
"Yeah?" The Doctor looked even more concerned now, "What's wrong?"
"Jack."
The Doctor's eyes widened, "You were thinking about Jack while we were-"
Rose cut him off, laughing slightly, "No! It's just... All of the clues are fittin' together. Jack's enthusiasm in gettin' us out of the room, the missing numbers, Martha an' Donna coming in... It's like I said earlier, it could be one big evil practical joke. We shouldn't be in such a compromising position when they come back."
He nodded slightly for a moment, taking this new information in, the slight shadows on his face making him look almost ghostly, "I think you're on to something, Rose," He grinned and put on an accent, "Copper's hunch?"
Rose smiled, "Permission to follow up, Sarge?"
TBC...
AN: Reviews are love. Try not to kill me if the next part is also a little late.
