Chapter 6
Before the sun rose the next morning the two Jacks were up getting ready. They checked on information online through the Torchwood servers and cloud software.
"It is 4-5-6," Dapper said.
"They want, want too many," White stammered.
"Agree. Let's get started." Dapper stated.
The two left Ianto's flat. There was a small group of kids and teens waiting for them as the sun started to rise.
"Bore da," The small group greeted together.
"Good morning to, to you too," Jack White responded and then said, "Follow me. Dapper will wait for, for the next group."
The group followed White. White got back to the pickup spot as Dapper started to bring the second group down. They continued to do that until about nine in the morning.
In the lower levels of Torchwood, kids, teens, and adults were quietly keeping busy. Some were on laptops, computer tablets, handheld video game, playing board games, playing cards, reading and some were doing homework.
The Jacks were sitting together talking quietly as a group of teen walked up to them.
"We are going to check and see if anyone is hiding in the sewers or in the abandoned warehouse. Do you two want to come with?" A teen asked.
"Someone should... check on the prisoners," Jack White stated.
"I'll do that you go with the teens," Jack Dapper insisted.
"Okay," White replied.
White went with the teens into the sewers while Dapper went to check on the cells.
A couple of women had decided to hide a large number of kids in the sewers. When White's group came upon them they were trying to fight off one Weevil. Jack quickly shined the light from a torch into Weevil's eyes.
"Everyone, come with us! We have a safe place to hide," One of the teens yelled.
Everyone followed the group. Jack was the last to follow. He kept the weevil back by using the torch. After getting that group back to the lower levels of Torchwood they went back into the sewers to find more groups hiding.
When Jack Dapper entered the holding cell hall Grey was talking to some kids.
"I'm innocent," Grey said.
"What are you kids doing? He is not innocent!" Dapper exclaimed.
"We were bored. Why are they in here?" One of the kids asked.
"Fish-head is here because he was taking advantage of a family and that guy tortured the man who looks like me but has white hair," Jack explained.
"He said you tortured him. Is that why that guy has problems talking and has white hair?" One of the kids asked.
"Yep, now go into the other rooms," Jack ordered.
The kids ran out. Jack gave each of his prisoners' food and water. He then left, securing the hall door behind him.
Several minutes later Jack White and two of the teens had found kids and families hiding in the abandoned warehouse. Two other teens went to check other places. Those two teens came running into the warehouse.
"What's wrong?" Jack White asked.
"There are soldiers forcefully taking kids from homes and businesses," One of the teens responded while panting.
"How far away, away are they?" White asked.
"A couple of blocks," The other teen replied after catching her breath.
"We have a safe place for all of you but we must go now!" One of the teens that was with Jack demanded.
"Okay, where?" One of the moms asked.
"Follow us!" Jack White commanded.
Jack and the teens lead and herded the group down to the sewers. They were minutes away from the lower levels of Torchwood when they heard soldiers in the sewers.
"Run! Soldiers are coming!" A teen yelled.
Everyone started running. Some of the adults and teens picked up the smaller kids so they wouldn't lose them. They were right outside the sewer entrance of Torchwood when all the kids stopped and a high pitched noise came from them.
Inside Torchwood, the adults and teens were starting to freak out because the noise was causing the beams and supports to shake. Some of the adults and older teens started to hold the supports. Suddenly the noise stopped.
A minute had passed before anyone dare to say anything or move. The door opened from the other side by Jack White.
"It's over with. The aliens are, are gone!" Jack White exclaimed.
Everyone quickly left the lower levels of Torchwood and went to their homes or work.
The two Jacks were in front of Ianto's door while their neighbors was entering their flat.
"Diolch!" The family said.
"You're welcome," Jack Dapper replied while White just nodded.
"Hwyl," The youngest said.
"Bye," Jack White responded.
Jacks got into Ianto's flat and started to clean it up and water the plants.
