The Doctor was impatient by the time that Jack got clearance for them to examine the car. He was pacing the hub, muttering that with the TARDIS he could have had clearance hours ago. He was also explaining softly to Imogen why Time Lords were better then apes and many other species. Jack didn't bother to point out that the Doctor was married to a human and the little girl in his arms was half human and therefore part of the species the Doctor felt superior to at the moment. The phone rang and Jack headed up to his office to hear the call better. He was happy to hear Gwen on the other end. He spoke to her for a few moments before heading back to the main hub.
"Gwen just called we can go see the car." Jack announced to the Doctor.
"About time," The Doctor sighed heading towards the TARDIS.
"Hold it. If we go, Imogen needs to stay here with Ianto." Jack said firmly causing the Doctor's eyes to narrow.
"Why?" He held Imogen tighter to him as he glowered at Jack.
"Because one, she will be safer here if we find out where the men are located. Two, I am not telling you the location of the car until you agree." The Doctor's glare darkened. The fury of the Oncoming Storm blazed at Jack. He had seen brave men fall and cower from the Doctor for less. Five years into their relationship though, Jack had received the look a few times before and wasn't afraid of the Doctor. He crossed his arms. "Think logically about it Doctor. Do you really want to bring her to the men who tried to take her in the first place? Ianto will stay here inside the hub and no one will be able to gain access to her."
The Doctor thought about it. He was livid at Jack for trapping him in the decision. If he wanted his answers he was going to have to agree. Slowly he walked over to Ianto and reluctantly handed him Imogen.
"If something happens to her..." He threatened.
"I will keep her safe sir." Ianto promised. The Doctor stormed past Jack on to the TARDIS. Jack entered the TARDIS and closed the doors behind him. Almost as soon as the doors were closed the Doctor slammed Jack against the wall. He didn't say anything as he glared angrily at him for a moment.
"Where are we going?" He asked his voice so low that Jack barely heard him. Jack gave him the coordinates and the Doctor released him and stormed quickly to the console. As he headed up the ramp the TARDIS took off with a jolt and he fell forward. He caught the railing and looked up at the Doctor who was watching him from the console. The Doctor's feet were spread slightly apart and he swayed as the TARDIS jolted again suddenly.
"I understand you are angry sweetheart, but leaving her behind was the safest plan." Jack explained.
"We're here," The Doctor said as he walked swiftly out of the TARDIS. The Doctor spent awhile examining the car. He looked in the boot and put on his thinking glasses. He used the sonic to check every inch of the boot before looking in the backseat. He examined every inch of it to with the sonic.
"Aha." He exclaimed loudly.
"What?" Jack asked.
"Blood." He licked his finger and Jack grimaced. "Human blood. B negative in fact."
"Otis's blood?" Jack wondered.
"I believe so. If it is in the back seat that means he would have shown on the video but there was no third man in the car." The Doctor grinned. "They didn't take Otis when they dropped off Imogen."
"So they have to be located close to where Imogen was dropped off." Jack concluded and the Doctor smiled. "Or Otis was the second man."
"Otis would have been too sick. He had all ready been injected by the time I spoke with him, otherwise he wouldn't have died so early. If he had been injected afterwards, he would have died later in the morning." The Doctor explained. He went back into the TARDIS and pulled up a map of places near where Imogen was left. Of the nearby places there were several that had potential for being hideouts for the two men. The Doctor chose one of them, seemingly at random and they landed near it first.
They had checked seven of the buildings with no luck and Jack was beginning to think that they were chasing a dead end. The Doctor though was determined as he walked up to the small building. He tried the door and just like three of the previous buildings, found it locked. Pulling out the sonic, he unlocked the door and let himself in. As soon as the door opened gunshots filled the air. Jack pulled the Doctor out of the way and then took aim. He brought one of the men down with a shot right between the eyes. The second man, he shot through the shoulder first and then through the man's foot in quick succession.
"Jack can I see the gun?" The Doctor asked holding out his hand. Jack was surprised as he handed the gun to the Doctor. The Doctor didn't even look at it as he opened the chamber and emptied the remaining bullets into his hand. He put them all into his pocket and then handed Jack the empty gun. "I don't like guns."
"They would have killed you."
"I will regenerate and you can't die." The Doctor pulled his glasses out and put them on as he headed over to a small lab on the side of the lab.
"I told Otis he should have killed you." The man spat at them.
"Oh this is brilliant. They are trying to combine the Time Lord energy with human blood." The Doctor smiled as he examined there work. "It will never work, but the research is brilliant."
"Is that why you took Imogen?" Jack asked the man and the man laughed at him. Jack hit him across the head with the empty gun. The man's laughter stopped abruptly
"Where is the other child?" The Doctor wondered as he sonicked the computer, reading Otis's research. He pulled a small stick device out of his pocket and hooked it up to the computer.
"I ain't telling you nothing."
"That's all right, Otis already told us everything." Jack lied. The Doctor looked at him a moment as he transferred the files onto the device. Once he was sure he had them all he used the sonic once again. This time though he wiped the hard drive clean.
"Otis knew nothing." The man informed him. "He stayed here in the lab."
"Where is the child?" The Doctor knelt down in front of the man, their faces barely an inch apart. The man opened his mouth to lie again but the Doctor cut him off. He didn't like what he was about to do, but a child's life was at stake. He placed his hands on the man's temples and forced himself into the man's mind. Within moment's he pulled back panting. "She is safe. She was given to his sister."
"Did you find out why they took her in the first place?" Jack wondered. He placed a comforting hand on the Doctor's back. He knew that regardless of the circumstances the Doctor hated reading someone else's mind without permission.
"They were going to switch them but Imogen is smaller then an average baby and at the last minute they decided to take her instead." The Doctor explained. He stood up straight and then turned to Jack. "We need to get her and take her back to her family."
"You go on ahead. I will be out in a minute." Jack kissed the Doctor's head and the Doctor looked at him suspiciously. "Trust me."
"I always trust you." The Doctor reassured him as he left the warehouse.
"Are you going to kill me too?" The man wondered as Jack reached for his handcuffs.
"No." Jack promised as he drug the man across the room to the small lab. He hand cuffed the man to the desk and then headed out the door, locking it behind him. The Doctor looked at him questioningly and Jack smiled. "What I didn't kill him?"
