"Jack we're going out for pizza and beer" Then looking at his sister he rethought that "And um... some kind of juice apparently. Be back soon. Make sure she doesn't kill us all" Owen shouted from the hub door as he walked out with Tosh, they now went to collect their food after Jack found out about them ordering Pizza under the name of Torchwood. Jack came out of his office and started checking the reports from his employees making mental notes on all of them. He heard stirring from the sofa and couldn't help going over to watch her, just for a minute... or 2. When he came back she was awake and yawning, he placed a hot mug of coffee in front of her.

"It kicks you awake" HE said gesturing to the coffee. She smiled her thanks, taking him in at the same time. Very nice, she thought. If she'd had known Owens boss had been this nice she'd have badgered him to take her to work during her work experience week.

"So, your Owens sister"

"Yeah... your... let me think. Tall, handsome, Leader of the group. Jack right?"

"You think I'm handsome?"He asked her with a grin. She blushed at this and said something about how that's how Owen had described him once a long time ago when she'd asked him about his work.

"How old are you then, 18, 19?" Jack guessed a ball park figure.

"Please! I'm only 16, well nearly 17 but still" She could have sworn she heard him mutter something that sounded quite like, 'still legal'.

"Where did everyone go?"

"Pizza and Beer" then he realised who he was speaking to "Um... Juice for those of us under 18" He smiled, wow he had a nice smile. They made small talk until the others returned with food, it was getting on for about 11:00pm before anyone looked like they were making a move, Tosh had already gone home which left Owen and Jack in a night time drinking session, it seemed that it would take some adjusting before Owen would be a responsible adult like he was suppose to be, even though Jack wasn't much better, he was most definitely drunk, while Owen made sure he had only had enough drink to stay under limit... barely Kai had noticed. Jack, already being home didn't have to make do with such restrains.

"Kai. We're going now" Owen called from the central hub where Jack was eating cold Pizza, telling him a story about some person he met on a far away planet.

"You can't just leave him there" She pointed to where he looked like he was going to fall asleep"

"I usually do, if you care so much his rooms down there second on the right" In defiance of her brothers uncaring nature she took Jacks arm and slung it around her shoulders, walked him down and dropped him on his bed. She turned to leave when his hand snaked round her waist and pulled her down to him.

"Did you know" He said, albeit slightly slurred "Your a beautiful girl... he looked her over with hungry eyes... are you sure your related to Owen?" He asked with a smile

"Yes Jack, I need to go now. You going to be alright?"

"Yeah, yeah" He managed to say before passing into an alcohol induced sleep.

"Owen isn't your sister with you today?" Ianto asked him noticing the quiet of the room

"Yeah, she's in detention. SO she can make her own way here" Ianto looked at the CCTV footage of outside, it looked horrible

"Um... Owen it's pissing it down out there"

"I know, Jack took the SUV... said he was bored or something. I didn't really ask my car's in the shop... what d'you expect me to do?" Ianto just shrugged and walked off, Owens never cared about anything that he knew about... so why should this be different. This happened every now and then, silence for days, weeks at a time then suddenly aliens would be attacking, the rift would be opening and someone would accidently try to end the world all at once and the team would be begging for a slow day again.

Jack was investigating a blip on his manipulator, nothing important or else he would have brought Ianto and Owen with him... it was probably just residue from something was or it could just be malfunctioning again, but on the off chance of their impending doom he always checked these blips out... at the moment he was getting reasonably high electromagnetism readings from somewhere close to the hub... it was probably that Tagtrell ship that crashed a few weeks ago... or as far as the public is concerned that gas mains that just randomly blew up all of a sudden. Even after all these years of running Torchwood he was always amazed by the fact that the people of Cardiff have never seemed to question the strange goings on... sure every now and then, more often now actually people started to have their theories but on the whole everyone just believed what the authorities told them, even if it seemed far fetched, like this recent cover up off the gas mains... there was no leak, nothing out of the ordinary before it 'blew up' and only a few people actually questioned that story when it came out... there was still Dark Talk but that was mostly just conspiracy theorists. Torchwood and the SUV Jack was driving at the moment was always mentioned... his name had even been mentioned a few times.

He arrived at the point of interest before hitting his transmitter again. Broken. It had to be... he was brought to Cardiff high school. What sort of electromagnetic energy could be coming out of there, any sort of energy in general would be a start he thought, thinking of the latest league tables. He looked around anyway. The basement was locked... usual, probably so the kids couldn't get in... There were a few cars in the parking lot and someone walking towards him... who looked strangely familiar.

"Kai?" He asked looking bemused

"Um... What are you doing here Jack... did Owen forget he was looking after me again?! That's twice in one day!"

"No, no I was... err... investigating. What are you doing here?"

"I go here" She said pointing to the way she was dressed and her school stuff in the open bag.

"Well, yeah. But hasn't school been over for more than an hour?"

"Long story... what are you investigating?"

"Nothing" He said dismissing the reading and deciding that it was just an old broken piece of technology to blame... I mean who knows, the entire school could be buried on an alien ship that crash landed hundreds of years ago for all the knew, and he ushered Kai away, back to the SUV giving one last look to the buildings behind him.

Meanwhile in the basement there was a lot of flashing and banging going on. Looking around the large, damp room you could see metal scattered across the floor and some sort of blue plasma gel sitting in a number of vials and beakers that had tubes full of different coloured liquids running through them and on to the next. The door closed with a bang as the owner left the room alone for the night, with the equipment and experiments still running.
