Thanks you everyone for your reviews! My brain has been buzzing with ideas so I thought best write it before I forget…
Chapter 2:
'I'm gonna kill him.' Jack snarled.
'Jack, it may not be what you think –' Gwen started.
'Rose is dead because of him, and you think I'm just gonna let him get away with it?'
'Even if you were to talk to him, how could you make contact? He could be anywhere!' Gwen argued.
'He comes when something goes wrong in Time. Something bad happens… if I can create a situation it would draw him right in!'
Gwen was startled by this side of Jack. She'd seen it before when he'd held Ianto at gunpoint. And she didn't like it. 'Jack, you shouldn't just get angry without finding out the facts. At least try and find something out from the Torchwood One archives that might have something which could help us figure out what happened! Please just take a deep breath and listen to me!'
Jack looked at her. But despite all his emotions, he slowly lifted his arm and ran his hand through her long dark hair. She was transfixed by his empty eyes. And then she blinked and came back down to earth. She cleared her throat, stood up and went over to her own computer, leaving him staring after her. She began typing and searching Torchwood Ones mainframe and records. At last she found a mention of the Doctor. It was more like a blog from an anonymous ex-employee. 'Jack?' Gwen said. 'I think I found something.'
'What is it?' he asked coming over to her side. He read the text quickly. It was from a security guard who watched their CCTV as a safety precaution. 'It's dated the day after the battle.' Jack said, more to himself than to Gwen. It said how one day, even through all the extraordinary stuff he'd seen on the CCTV, that day he saw something unimaginable. The wall had opened up, sucking in the Daleks from the sky outside as two figures clung on for dear life to things stuck onto the wall.
Jack didn't look at Gwen. But he spoke, and he said, 'I want that CCTV.'
Gwen nodded and started towards the phone. 'I'll get right on it.'
'Gwen.' He said softly, leaning against her chair with one hand. She stopped. 'It's one am. Do it tomorrow. Go home.'
'Are you sure? You don't want me to stay? Keep you company?'
He gave her a quick half smile then shook his head. 'Go home, Gwen Cooper. Go home to your boyfriend.'
Gwen walked over to him and gave him a hug. 'I'll see you tomorrow, Jack.' She said quietly, and left him standing alone in the Hub.
Sorry this chapter is far shorter than the other one but I thought it was a good place to end the chapter. Will update soon, and please continue with your fantastic reviews! This is no longer a one shot!
