The only thing I relatively own are these things attacking people.

"He said it was a cat," Rex said as he and Jack looked over the body of the newest victim, one of the lunch ladies.

"If it were cats attacking, Britta's cat would have attacked us when we saw her," Jack said.

"Maybe this thing changes into a cat," Rex suggested.

"Well, we won't know for sure until tomorrow," Jack said standing up, deciding they had seen enough.

Rex followed him outside, "It's weird isn't it?"

"What is?"

"That Jeff knew Britta. That they're actually friends."

"I think it's weird that you don't realize how tiny Earth is."

"That talk again?"

"I'm just saying that compared to the rest of the universe, Earth is microscopic. Everyone is bound to meet each other at least once."

"Really? With a population of six billion?"

"Completely possible."

Rex shook his head, chuckling.

"I've got to hand it to Jeff though, he's friends with some very attractive people."

"Don't start," Rex groaned, "don't even start."

"Are you jealous?"

Rex only gave Jack a look, causing Jack to burst into laughter.

Once Gwen got Troy situated in her bed and treated the bite, her and the study group stayed by his bedside, talking in hushed voices as he fell asleep.

"So, these are your friends," Gwen said to Britta, looking at all the others.

Britta nodded, pointing to each of them, "Annie, Shirley, Pierce, Abed. Troy is the one in bed and I guess you already know Jeff."

"I've heard of Jeff," Gwen said, "never met him yet."

"Nice to meet you, Gwen," Jeff said.

"I still don't understand," Pierce said, "that man with the jacket is your father, Jeff? How the hell is that possible?"

"According to The Doctor, he's an anomaly in time," Gwen said.

Jack and Rex entered the hotel room quietly, knowing that Gwen decided to bring Troy here instead of going to a hospital.

"How is he," Rex asked.

"He's asleep, but he has a high fever," Gwen said, glancing over to him.

"Can I have a word with you two," Jack said, looking to Gwen and Rex.

As Gwen and Rex left with Jack, the study group fell into an uneasy silence.

"What did we just get ourselves into," Shirley asked aloud.

The group looked to her.

"We're mixed up with some strange organization," Shirley said, "they're not revealing much to us, it's all secretive."

"Actually, I'm the one who got mixed up in it," Britta said, "but, Rex was C.I.A., I had no idea he quit and became part of Torchwood."

"It doesn't help that I'm related to a time anomaly," Jeff said.

"Guys," Abed said, "we had no control over getting involved. It happened by chance."

"You're right," Annie said, "we sort of fell into it. Wouldn't be the first time this happened."

Meanwhile in the other room, Jack was having a conversation with his two teammates.

"No, we're not retconning anyone in that room," Gwen protested.

"We're not retconning Jeff or Britta," Jack said.

"Jack, that's more people on our side," Rex said, "they could help us."

"Also, that's a way to really get your son to like you," Gwen said, "wipe all of his friends' memories. Smart plan."

"I don't want them to get involved," Jack said, "I don't want any more people to get hurt or killed because of me."

"That's not up to you," Gwen said, "it's up to them. It's their choice whether or not they want to be involved or not."

"There's strength in numbers," Rex said, "the three of us can't do everything, but nine of us can."

It was hard for Jack to fight his point when Gwen and Rex had valid points of their own.

He sighed, "Fine. We'll give them a chance to back out."

"And even if they do back out, no retcon," Rex said.

"Okay, okay," Jack said, putting his hands up in surrender, "no retcon period."

Jack, Rex, and Gwen stepped back into the room, the study group looking at them expectantly.

"How would you like to work with us," Jack asked, "if you don't want to, you're free to leave."

"None of us are leaving," Jeff said, "we're involved with this completely. Especially because of Troy."

"Alright, that settles it then doesn't it," Gwen said, looking at Jack with a raised brow.

"Yeah, it's settled," Jack shot back at her, "So, I know a few of you already, but I don't know the rest of you. What are your names?"

Once the group introduced themselves to Jack and Rex, Jack turned to Abed.

"Troy said it was a cat, right," Jack asked.

Abed nodded, "I was right next to him when he was trying to bring it inside. It had these glowing green eyes."

"So, we're looking for a creature with glowing green eyes that looks like a cat," Jack said, "who wants to go on a hunt?"

Annie chose to stay behind to monitor Troy while the rest of the group and Torchwood packed themselves into Shirley's van, heading off to the neighborhood where Chez Trobed-Annie resided. When they parked, Jack and Gwen hopped out first, going to the back and opening up cases they had packed along with them.

"How good are you guys with guns," Rex asked the remaining study group.

"How good are we with guns," Britta scoffed, "you've never seen us play paintball."

"We can handle guns just fine," Shirley said.

"Good," Jack said, "because you'll be needing these."

Jack and Gwen started passing out handguns to them, impressed when they started checking the chambers, checking ammo, and finally taking off the safety.

"We're going to split into two groups," Jack said, "Jeff and Shirley, you'll be with Gwen and I. Britta, Abed, and Pierce, you'll be going with Rex. We'll start out at opposite ends of the neighborhood and meet right back here. If something happens, shout. If you find this creature, shoot first and then shout. Any questions?"

"What happens after we find and shoot the creature," Abed asked.

"We're going to take it back with us and examine it," Jack answered, "maybe even find out if we can cure Troy from it."

"Cool," Abed said.

"Anything else," Jack asked.

Everyone remained silent.

"Okay. Rex, head that way with your team," Jack pointed, "Everyone else, follow me."

The two groups split, Jeff and Shirley following close behind Jack and Gwen.

"You're a lot like him, you know," Shirley whispered to Jeff.

He glanced at her, "Really?"

"You're both natural leaders," Shirley said, "that's a good trait to have."

He gave Shirley a small smile.

"Not to mention you both have the same eyes," Shirley commented, "if he wasn't your father and I was still single...I'd be all over that."

Jeff made a face.

"If you weren't his friend and single, I'd take you up on that offer," Jack said, overhearing Shirley's comment.

"And now you've officially scarred me," Jeff said, "thanks."

Britta and Rex took the lead while Abed and Pierce stayed back, watching behind them for any signs of the green-eyed creature.

"You have an interesting group of friends," Rex commented.

"Same could be said for you," Britta retorted.

Rex smiled, "Touché"

"How did you get with them anyway," Britta asked.

"Do you remember the Miracle," Rex asked.

Britta knew too well about that, "We almost had to restrain Pierce at one point during that time. He was so convinced he was invincible."

"I was invincible," Pierce fired back.

"That's how I got with them," Rex said.

"Guys, I think I just saw it," Abed said, freezing in his spot.

The others had stopped walking, looking in every which direction for it.

"Are you sure," Britta asked.

"I saw it's eyes," Abed replied.

"Where did you last see it," Rex questioned.

"I saw it behind that dumpster," Abed gestured with his gun.

Rex cautiously started stepping toward the dumpster, gun out in front of him.

"What are you doing," Britta said, "come back here!"

"Just cover me," Rex snapped back her.

Britta huffed in frustration when Rex slowly rolled the dumpster forward. He jumped back, gun poised and ready.

"There's nothing back here Ab-"

He was cut short when he was suddenly attacked by a small creature, knocking him to the asphalt in the process and causing him to drop his gun. He grabbed at the small creature, getting a good look at him. It was cat like with gray fur, but with large green eyes and a circular mouth which latched on to his chest as it's claws dug into his skin.

"SOMEONE SHOOT THIS THING," Rex shouted, trying to wrestle it off of him and failing.

Britta fumbled with her gun for a moment, but managed to pull the trigger. Rex screamed out in pain.

"THAT WAS MY ARM!"

"Sorry," Britta said, panicking.

Two shots rang out, both hitting their target. Britta and Abed looked over, seeing Pierce and Gwen standing side by side with guns still smoking. Jeff, Shirley, and Jack stood behind them, looking at the small creature in awe. Rex tried to pull the creature off, but it still kept its grip on him.

"A little help please," Rex asked, looking at the group.

Jack and Abed stepped forward, Jack ripping the creature from Rex and Abed getting him to his feet.

"And you said you were good with guns," Rex said, eyes narrowing at Britta.

"I panicked, I'm sorry," Britta said.

"We need to get you back to the hotel," Shirley said, "that thing bit you."

"I'll be fine," Rex said.

"But I shot you," Britta pointed out.

Rex sighed, tearing his sleeve open and revealing a completely healed arm.

"Like I said, I'm fine," Rex repeated.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention," Jack said, "he's like me. A fixed point in time."

"What a group you make," Pierce said, "The two immortal men and the English woman."

"I'm Welsh," Gwen corrected.

"You all sound the same anyway," Pierce said.

Gwen glared at him and was about to say something when she was interrupting by a cell phone ringing. Jeff pulled his phone out, seeing Annie's name on the screen.

"Annie?"

"Jeff? You need to get back here right now."

Jeff heard the distress in her voice. He put the phone on speaker for the others to hear.

"What happened," Jeff was starting to worry.

"Those things...one of them got in here…"

"Shit," Britta mumbled.

"I fought it off, but...it bit me and…"

Looks were exchanged for a brief second.

"Annie, we're on our way, okay. We'll see you soon," Jeff said to her, trying to stay calm.

"Hurry, please!"

Once the line went dead, the group took off running toward Shirley's van.

"I'll drive," Jack said, "we'll get there faster."

He shoved the dead creature into Jeff's arms as he got into the driver's seat.

"I'm not holding this all the way there," Jeff protested.

"Put it in the back and get in," Gwen ordered him as she got shotgun.
