REVELATIONS

SIXTEEN

Gwen and Tosh were standing in front of Ianto as he sat at his desk, holding a pink post-it in his hand.

"Damn it!" spat Gwen, "he's left us again!"

She turned to look at Tosh. "Can we tell where he's gone?"

Tosh moved to her workstation and punched a few keys. On the large plasma wall monitor an image of the hub was rendered and fast forwarded. All three gasped when the tall blue box suddenly appeared in the center of the room.

"That Time Lord," moaned Ianto, "is nothing but trouble."

The two women sadly looked at him, knowing there was more than simple professional concern being expressed.

"Yeah," answered Gwen miserably. "I wish he'd stay away from here."

The group watched as Rose exited the TARDIS and waited. Jack came into the scene a minute or so later, the two conversed at length and then Jack strode away.

There was no sign of The Doctor.

After a few more minutes Jack reappeared carrying a very large duffle bag. He walked to Ianto's workstation and then over to Rose, who handed him a coffee mug and kissed him on the cheek before they disappeared into the ship.

Ianto, Gwen and Tosh stood looking at the monitor in shock. Ianto was the first to break the silence.

"Something has happened to The Doctor."

"Right," said Gwen. "Tosh, back up the video and give us the audio. Let's see what we can do to help."
