Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who...get that by now...good


Chapter 3

Jack had given the doctor the files to look over but he did not really care about them he had read over them already. He knew the girl's history and how she had been captured, Jack had even seen past some of the more glorified and altered parts. All he knew was that she had hurt the man he loved and he wanted to make sure she at least felt guilty.

"Melkin" He said opening the door to her cell "Wake up."

His eyes were cold as he watched her but he had no plan to hurt the girl he did not take pleasure in hurting people. He did not move as the girl shot up instantly crawling into a corner away from him recognizing the man who had captured her again.

"What do you want Captain" She asked softly.

"You hurt Ianto," He said leaning against the wall "He could have died."

"I won't apologize," She said "I was afraid…your people…I can't trust them."

She looked at him her eyes neutral and knew for a fact that was not the answer he had wanted from her.

"We were trying to save you" He growled, "Ianto wouldn't have hurt you."

"How was I to know…my cell opens…and Torchwood soldiers rush in…like every time before" She said "I reacted…and Mr. Jones was in the wrong place…"

Jack's hands clenched into fists as anger flashed in his eyes looking over at her but she stood up not showing any fear.

"He is fine…I merely touched his mind" She said, "There was no danger to his life..."

Jack scoffed turning around growling angrily glancing back at her.

"Ianto is the man I love…and if it weren't for the doctor I wouldn't be standing here" He growled walking out of the cell.

Lori was left alone and sighed softly taking to pacing back and forth across the cell hugging her arm to herself. This was going to be her life now trapped in Torchwood forever or at least until they decided she was better off dead.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The Doctor walked toward the cell her file held in his hand he was going to free her, after everything that she had gone through. He would not leave her alone to die here, especially with Torchwood and an angry Jack. He used his sonic screwdriver to open the cell walking inside as she turned around to look at him.

"Hello again" He said holding his hand out "We've got a few minutes…it's time for us to go".

"Wh-what do you mean Doctor" She asked softly "I can't leave."

"Of course you can" He said "I've just walked out hundreds of times…now come on…trust me".

She bit her bottom lip and nodded smiling as she gripped his hand looking into his soft brown eyes.

"Let's go Doctor…" She said, "I want my freedom…"

"Well then Lori" He said "Allons-y"

He pulled her behind him as he ran from the building, he would make it up to Jack later but this girl was someone he wanted free. They ran without any trouble until the doctor moved to unlock the door and alarms sounded.

"Well…can't make an omelet and all that," He said working to open the door.

Guards rounded the corner with Jack in the lead making her turn around glancing at the doctor.

"Doctor…I'm sorry," She said looking at him "We have to get away."

"Oh no you don't" Jack said aiming his gun, "You're not hurting anyone else."

He fired before she could touch any minds the dart's aim true as she felt the sedative enter her bloodstream. The doctor was there to catch her as she fell and glared at Jack not hesitating when the door opened.

"Doc…wait…" Jack moved to chase after them but the doors shut behind the Doctor sealing shut.

"Don't worry…you're safe now" He said to the girl in his arms "Let's get you to the TARDIS."


This is such a short chapter compared to the first two...but well I didn't know how else to continue...next chapter might start with Jack's POV...after all the doctor just ran off with the girl he thinks could have killed his love...Please review.
