Jack, Gwen and Ianto rushed into the hub, Ianto having rushed out to help bring the creatures inside from the SUV. Jack signalled for Martha and Willow to join them in the vaults as they carried the Vampires down and put then into separate cells.
"Martha, any luck with that sedative?"
"We should have enough to keep them calm, but we don't have anything to knock them out fully. I've asked Torchwood Transylvania to get back to me, but I haven't heard from them."
Jack nodded.
"OK, get back on it. Keep pushing them until they give in."
Martha headed back up to the hub.
"Willow, any luck on the weapons?"
She nodded.
"Yes, Captain, we need gold bullets. The traditional steak to the heart doesn't tend to work so well," she half smiled. "But, of course, we don't have any in the hub."
"No, because that would only be helpful," Jack frowned. "OK, get onto all the local weapons dealers, registered and illegal, see what you can find."
Willow nodded and made her way upstairs. Jack turned to Gwen and Ianto.
"OK, I don't need to tell you two how dangerous this situation is, but we have to track down that other Vampire. Gwen, I need you to keep in contact with Andy for any more suspicious attacks. Ianto, I need you to help me with the two we have here...we need to try to figure out what to do with them..."
Ianto nodded and Gwen went to her station and called Andy.
"Andy, hi, it's Gwen. Listen, can you keep me posted on any suspicious attacks, especially if they involve the attacker trying to bite his victims."
"Don't mind me asking, but did your boss say something about them being Vampires? I mean, don't get me wrong, but that's all just fictional stuff, right?"
Gwen sighed.
"No, Andy, it's real. So, it's really important that you keep me up to speed, OK?"
"Alright, I'll let you know."
"Gwen?" Willow called, "reports just coming in of suspicious behaviour in the centre of town..."
Gwen ran over to Willow's station and checked the reports.
"OK, looks like our Vampire..." she put a hand to her comms. "Jack, we've got the final Vampire. Yeah, we'll come out," she turned back to Willow. "C'mon, we're going on a little hunt."
Jack swerved the SUV round a tight corner and ground to a halt in the centre of the city. Willow was pale white; she still wasn't used to Jack's driving. The girls jumped out of the back of the SUV followed by Jack and Ianto.
"OK Martha, you've got enough of the sedative?"
"I should have enough to knock it out long enough for us to get it inside the SUV."
"OK, Martha, Gwen with me. Willow, Ianto, go round the other side."
They split up, taking a dose of sedative each, their comms open at all times.
"There it is," Gwen pointed across the street. It was easy enough to spot; the flowing black cloak gave it away. The three of them ran towards it, Jack in the lead, his great coat flowing behind him. Ianto and Willow got there first, Ianto pouncing on the Vampire, Willow taking out the sedative. It put up a fight, clawing at them both. Ianto dodged it, but it caught Willow in the face. She yelped, jumping backwards and falling to the ground. Ianto caught the syringe as it fell to the floor and plunged it into the Vampire's arm. It calmed slightly before it's muscles completely relaxed. Ianto leapt off it, helping Willow to her feet as Jack clambered on top of the Vampire, pulling it up and slinging it over his shoulder with ease.
"Are you OK?"
Willow brushed herself off as Ianto examined her cut.
"Yeah...I'll live."
Back in the hub, Jack had bundled all the Vampires into one of the cells. They were all slowly starting to come round as Martha and Willow were still trying to contact Torchwood Transylvania to find out about procedure with them. Gwen jumped as one of the Vampires lunged at the glass of the cell.
"What are we gonna do with them?"
Jack sighed.
"I dunno...We can't exactly keep them here for the rest of their lives...I don't even know how long their lifespan is...All we can do is wait and see what the Transylvanian branch say..."
Gwen's mobile bleeped, and she sighed as she read the text.
"Problem?"
"No...just Rhys...he's drunk...and he gets moody when he's drunk. Especially if I'm not home. 'That Torchwood's taking over your life' he says."
Jack smiled faintly.
"Torchwood is your life."
"I know," she quickly put in.
He lightly touched her face as the rest of the team came down into the cells.
"We have to kill them," Ianto announced as soon as he reached Jack.
"What?"
"That's the instruction from Transylvania. They say there's nothing else we can do," Martha pitched in.
Jack sighed.
"Alright. I'll do it...you lot, go home...good work today."
The rest of the team smiled gratefully and filtered out of the hub.
Martha lingered behind.
"You OK?"
Jack smiled.
"I'm always alright."
"Yeah, where have I heard that before?"
They grinned.
"Do you miss him?"
Martha shook her head.
"No. Seriously," she added. "I'm over him. I'll always love him. I think everyone he meets does."
Jack smiled.
"Goodnight, Martha Jones. Go home."
"Night."
She left the hub, leaving Jack to contemplate the task ahead of him.
