Terra POV
I had to go see Owen to check on my hearts, it was confirmed that one of my hearts had collapsed, he's going to look further into how it happened and if there's a way to awaken it, but it will take time, what we are worried about is if my other one will go too, but if I feel anything strange or any pains then I have to go straight to Owen, but other then my headache I haven't felt any different, other then a little tired.
After thinking for I don't know how long, I storm to Jacks office and open the door without knocking, now standing in front of his desk where he's sat behind.
"I had a boyfriend who used to walk into rooms like that 'The grand entrance' It got kind of boring. Although, he was one of twins, so I put up with it. Twin acrobats, man, I gotta write that book, maybe even illustrate it. I can talk for a long time, a very long time" he babbles,
"Takes me a while to piece things together" I say, pacing,
"Meaning?" he asks, looking at me questioningly,
"Suzie had the glove. You put her in charge of it. But tell me, Jack, did you ever ask about her father?" I ask, not pacing anymore, looking him dead in the face, he looks at me confused from this,
"How do you mean?" he asks,
"He's got cancer. He's been dying slowly now for years. And what do you do? You give his daughter the one device that brings people back to life! Is it any wonder she got obsessed?" I say, looking at him fiercely, its no wonder she was so obsessed over that thing, she wanted a way to save him!
"Oh, so this is all my fault?!" he asks, from this I plant my hands on his desk leaning forward,
"Well, isn't it? Did you ever stop and think? Did you ... Did you ever look at Suzie? Did you ever ... think what that glove would do to her, did you?" I ask, looking at him accusingly,
"You wanted to bring her back to try to see her true self, you didn't want to remember her as she was. But that behaviour was her own, she chose to do what she did" he says, I lean back slightly,
"We're both to blame for this! Now, what the hell are we going to do with her?" he asks,
"I don't know. What if she never dies? Have you thought of that? Like ...undying, forever. Just her, you and me" I say, looking at him with fear,
"No way" he says, looking at me wearily,
"Could be" I say,
"I wouldn't wish that on her. I'd sooner kill her right now" he says, I look to him shocked,
"Could you, though? Kill her?" I ask, looking at him in question,
"Yeah" he says, I don't believe this he would actually kill her.
"Really?" I ask, looking at him in disbelief,
"Oh, yeah" he says, looking down.
"Jack, can you come to the conference room? Something I need you to see. Kind of urgent" says Owen from the comms, Jack looks at me then gets up and leaves. I watch as he leaves then glare at his desk.
Jack POV
I didn't like having that argument with Terra, but I didn't want to admit that she was right, if I had paid more attention to my workers, how they were not physically but also mentally, I would have known about Suzie and wouldn't have given her that glove to work on.
I walk into the cold room where Owen, Yanto, Tosh and Gwen are. Owen holding a hand unit with a projector up on the wall.
"I was going over Suzie and Terra's medical records. I ran them through the Philemon filter. Watch the footage" says Owen, from this I look up to the monitor where the video footage with the session with Mark, the entire view in a green hue to see a bright blue energy flow coming from Terra into Mark.
"This is the moment when Terra brought back Mark Briscoe, the husband. See? Now look at his death" he says, then when we see this the energy flow stops
"See? The energy flow stops just as he's about to die. But ... have a look at Terra with Suzie" says Owen, we look at the monitor again, I see myself stabbing Suzie and as soon as I see this, the energy flow goes from the knife to Gwen,
"What is that?" asks Gwen, I look to Owen in question,
"Energy. Life" says Owen,
"But with Suzie, it's a permanent connection and she's getting stronger. It's still going, now. She's draining the life out of Terra, that's why one of her hearts failed, that was half of her alien life I'm guessing, I'm trying to figure out how long Terra has left before she completely…dies" says Owen, I look at him with surprise,
"There's always a price" I say silently.
Terra POV
After making a cup of coffee and taking some biscuits from Yanto's stash I go down to the area where Suzie is, though I took some painkillers for my headache that only feels like its getting worse.
"More coffee? Is that all you do? Just leave me alone" says Suzie as I put the tray down,
"Have a biscuit, at least" I say, placing the little plate of biscuits in front of her, hoping that she'll see the note I made for her to read.
"Go on. Just for me" I say, then I see her finally look down and I see her read the note, then her eyes look to me, I raise my eyebrows in question, and I see her smile, giving me her answer.
I get my palm pad and switch this rooms cameras off and without a word I wheel her out, getting Gwen's car keys as we go and go outside, thankfully without being seen.
Jack POV
"The wearer of the glove can bring somebody back, but loses their own life in return' I say, summing up what we know,
"How do we stop it?" asks Tosh,
"We've got to kill her. Suzie's got to die" Gwen says,
"Again" says Tosh, I nod at this,
"Who's gonna do it?" asks Owen, looking at us all nervously,
"Like you said. I'm the boss," I say, taking my gun out and leading us out of this room.
No one, especially Suzie will not be the death of Terra.
I make my way down to the interrogation room, but find that its empty, I press the button to talk through the coms,
"Toshiko! Where the hell's Suzie? And where's Terra?" I ask,
"Interrogation Room" she says, I smile sarcastically,
"No they're not ... Find them, fast!" I say, then run out of the room and meet Tosh at her desk,
"I can't see them. Hold on. Scanning" she says, I see Owen and Gwen joining us,
"Nope. Nothing on internal scans" she says,
"What's going on, where've they gone?" asks Owen,
"Just keep looking ... bring up the SUV" I say, then seeing the SUV still parked on the monitor
"Still there. I'll try exteriors ... What about Gwen, Owen or my car, Terra cant exactly take Suzie on her bike" says Tosh, after pressing some buttons we see Terra putting Suzie into Gwen's car,
"What's she doing?" asks Owen,
"What is she doing with my car?" asks Gwen, who I see go to her desk, presumably to see that her keys are missing since Terra must have them to open Gwen's door.
"Getting herself fired" I say, though only half meaning it, what is wrong with her?
"Unbelievable" says Tosh, looking at the screen with surprise and shock,
"How stupid is that? Thinking she could just drive off" says Owen,
"Come on. Let's go get them," I say, about to get my coat, but without warning the hub totally switches off.
"What the hell..." I mutter, then seeing the doors close and lock us inside,
"Yanto? Yanto?" I say, looking for him, then seeing him walk up to me casually with a flashlight,
"Captain?" he says, looking at me questioningly,
"What happened?" I ask, looking at him in question,
"But I thought you must've done it. We've gone into lockdown," he says, looking at me confused,
"Then reverse it!" I say, about to turn but he speaks, causing me to look back at him,
"I can't. It's 100%. The doors are sealed. We're locked in" he says, I look at him in shock, this is not good.
