Revelations

by Laura Harkness

Ten is Doctor-napped and who can save him but Rose, Jack, the rest of the Torchwood team and *maybe* an old friend. A story of heroism, villainy, pain, suffering, brutality, loyalty, courage, and most of all perserverance... plus a little bit of dancing!

REVELATIONS

SIX

At great cost and from several highly unusual sources, information had been obtained.

Information that the Assistant Director considered critical.

A small, superlative special ops force had been assembled. Based on the information, they now knew the suspect was not some sort of bizarre binary entity but rather that it rarely traveled alone.

It was clear enough which entity was the suspect, and which was its follower. The latter was not of interest, aside perhaps as a possible lure, if required.

While not a shape-shifter the suspect did, on rare occasions, change its form. That in itself was not seen as a serious impediment to its capture.

They had also learned there were ways to detect and track the being: specifically the occurrence of temporal abnormalities and disturbances in the spacetime continuum that accompanied it when it traveled.

Beyond that, and perhaps most importantly, like many criminals, the suspect appeared to have a home base it returned to repeatedly. It was ironic if not downright suspicious, thought the Assistant Director, that this home base had also been the former location of the now missing colony.

Perhaps this being was not so clever after all.
