Captain Jack searched and listened. He involved himself, involved himself in something where he knew he would encounter the Doctor, sooner or later.
And Jack could afford to wait now; he could wait for all time to find the Doctor. He had to, had to find the Doctor and ask him, ask him why they left him behind on that space station.
