Chapter Thirty Five

We've found him

Jack

I shut the door of the SUV behind me and ran up the driveway. The report of an earthquake had really thrown me off considering it was in the same street as the house that Emilia owned. We had an address but it hadn't contained what number house it was. I stopped at the door of number thirteen and knocked. A young good looking female answered the door; she had light brown hair and fairly average tits.

"Yes, can I help you?" She asked looking me over.

"Hi I'm Captain Jack Harkness, I work with special ops. I have reason to believe that you called the police about an earthquake?" I answered with a grin.

"Yes, well it sounded like an explosion but definitely felt like an earthquake." She replied with a frown. "It seemed to have come from next door." She added pointing to the house on her right.

"Thank you, could I have your name as..." But she had already slammed the door in my face.

I gave a sigh and walked back up the driveway towards the SUV. I had come alone as I thought it was a coincidence. Jeremy had sort of begged to let him come with me but I told him to stay at the hub. It was easy to see that I had made him uncomfortable but he was more interested in finding Peter. I had sort of broken to him that Peter had told me about their night together and that I hadn't minded when I was showing him around Torchwood. He had just nodded and said that he really didn't want to get in the way. I assured him though that our decision to break up had nothing to do with him, I don't think he was convinced though.

I looked over at the house next door and noticed that it looked completely intact. If there had been an explosion then maybe it had come from the basement if it did have one, either that or it had been the overactive imagination of the woman next door and it had all been a waste of time. The house really looked undisturbed but decided to check it out. As I walked up the driveway I could smell smoke coming out of the windows but as I looked though there was no sign of fire. Things were starting look suspicious though as I saw a figure lying on the floor of lounge room. I quickly kicked the door down and ran into the lounge room. Kneeling down beside the body I realised who it was.

"Peter, can you hear me?" I asked before checking him over for cuts and bruises. I noticed the deep rope marks on his wrists and instantly knew that he was in pain. Looking back at his face I was met with bright blue eyes.

"What took you so long?" He asked with a groan and tried to sit up but yelled with pain. "Sorry I have massive cramps in my shins and my thighs." He added with tears.

I gently put his head down again and put a head through his hair. I was sort of on my side now as I tried to calm him down. I could hear him quietly sob as he tried to bear the pain coming from his legs. I took out my mobile and dialled the number for the hub.

"Hello, no it wasn't a coincidence, seems I have found a certain handsome Aussie expat. Yeah seemed to escape but collapsed in the lounge room. Owen, Gwen, Tosh could you come over and Ianto can you stay with Jeremy? Thanks." I told them before hanging up.

"Lachlan and Emilia are down in a basement of some kind but I fear they might be dead." Peter said through tears. "Lachlan saw his own death."

"Shhh it's alright Peter." I answered while my hand went though his hair. I looked down at him after I realised what else he had said. "Really he saw his own...?"

"Yes, well that's what Emilia told me. I believe she's told the truth as he told me that I wouldn't believe him about what he saw." Peter explained before trying to stand up again but I saw him trying to stiffen a yell from his lips.

"Do you know what happened?" I asked as I wasn't sure if he did.

"No I collapsed in the lounge before anything drastic happened. Lachlan told me to run to safety as Emilia seemed to be holding something in her hand." Peter replied before falling down again on his side because of the pain.

"Well we received a report of an earthquake from next door." I explained while Peter finally managed to sit up. I also sat down beside him with my legs outstretched. "The attractive woman from next door told me that it sounded like an explosion."

"Oh attractive was she?" Peter teased with a small smile. "Why do you always think with your dick?"

"Because I'm Captain Jack Harkness." I answered with a grin before putting an arm around his shoulder. "You should know that by now."

Peter gave a small laugh and kissed me on the cheek before lying back down again on his side. I could see that he truly was in pain and I wasn't sure of what to do about it. I decided though to tell him some good news.

"I showed Jeremy around Torchwood." I told him which made him sit up again

"Seriously, you showed him around the hub, weevils and everything?" He asked sounding like a character from Neighbours. "Are you going to retcon him?

"The problem is I can see no reason why I should." I replied with a smile. "He was the one who recognised your shoes and found the notes you left behind."

"But we have rules Jack, regulations." Peter protested but I put a finger to his lips.

"Just relax; we'll talk about later alright." I said with a smile and we looked into each other eyes before Peter laid back down again, still in pain.

Ten minutes past before I heard footsteps walking on the door which lay on the ground after kicking it down. I knew that it was Owen, Gwen and Tosh coming in to help but the person who stepped into the lounge room was someone I ordered to stay.

"Is he alright?" that familiar well spoken London accent asked.
