Torchwood: The End is Now – Part 1
Lilly Klein sat on the end of the bed, the letter held tight in her shaking hands. She wondered what the Doctor would say if he knew. Maybe he already did. She hoped he'd be proud of her for this, but she could never be sure. She knew of his mood swings, and she knew he could go from hating the organisation to welcoming it with open arms.
She flipped the envelope open, and thought back to the events that got her here. She was happy... she was with the Doctor... but she died that day. She was clinically dead, or at least she would have been if it wasn't for what she was. Her mother had always asked her to be careful travelling with that spaceman. What happened that day was anything but careful. Her heart went into overdrive and she would have been gone if that adrenaline rush hadn't taken place.
She smiled and wandered downstairs, where her mother was standing at the bottom. She embraced her in a hug.
"Lilly, what was that for?"
"I just wanted to say thanks. For putting up with me... and all of my shit."
"You're my daughter, and you know I will support you no matter what."
Lilly smiled at her mother.
"I'd better go. I'm going to be late for my new job."
"Good luck sweetie."
Lilly took a look in the mirror and composed herself before walking out into the bright, slightly blue tinted sunlight. She looked up.
"Unusual." she said to herself.
If there was one thing she had learned from the Doctor, it was that if something didn't look right, then it usually wasn't. Perhaps the government had done something. She knew if they had it would be announced at some point. Maybe they would be able to tell her at work.
The letter had given her instructions on how to get there, but there was no reason for this. No cause. Everyone knew who they were anyway, so there was no point in hiding it. She glanced at the letter and walked over to her car.
Less than an hour later, Lilly pulled up outside the large silver building. She walked around to the side, and glanced up at a security camera. The doors opened, and at that second she realised how cold it was. She'd dressed in a skirt because she could see it was sunny, but it was so cold.
Lilly walked in, and the room was empty except for an intercom on the wall. She pressed the button and a female voice greeted her.
"Hello, Torchwood, how can I help you."
