Confrontation
Jack had found his blaster lying next to a broken Dareen harp and an alien hairdryer. Strangely, he had yet to find his clothes but that minor detail did not deter the former Time Agent. With a cocky grin, he slipped through the doorway and into the hall. If he were a vengeance-obsessed teenager, where would he hide the Doctor and Rose? The answer was obvious, at least to him.
'In the bedroom,' he thought as he opened the door, his weapon automatically tracking towards the only standing occupant of the room. "Didn't want to wait for me to join in the fun?" Jack asked, glancing suggestively between Adam and the prone forms of his friends on the bed. "I'm hurt."
"How did you get free?" Adam asked in shock.
"What can I say? I'm very flexible," Jack's grin turned wolfish, "What have you..." he finally got a good look at the almost transparent Doctor and gasped, "What have you done?"
"It's working," Adam grinned, unrepentant, "The Doctor's almost gone and there's nothing you can do to save them."
"You idiot. You stupid, misguided idiot. Do you have any idea of what you've done? Any!"
"I've won," he said simply.
With a low growl, Jack advanced across the room with his gun ever pointed at Adam's heart. Despite himself, Adam felt fear. Even though being naked should have made Captain Jack Harkness more vulnerable, Adam had the disturbing feeling that if anything it made him more powerful. He took an automatic step backwards.
Jack reached out and grabbed Adam's shoulder, shoving him against wall. With his gun hand, he used it to push back the curtains on the window. "Look at your victory, Adam. See what kind of kingdom you've built for yourself." With those words, he forced Adam's face into the window.
A choked "No" was the only intelligible word to emerge from Adam's mouth as he looked upon the horror that he had brought upon himself.
In the streets outside – the streets of London itself – wave after wave of Daleks moved in unison on their way to battle. If Adam listened carefully he could hear that dreaded word once again – the same word that had haunted his own sleep before the Doctor's betrayal had taken over that particular nightmare.
The word was, of course, spoken in a thousand Dalek voices.
The word was "EXTERMINATE!"
