Penultimate chapter. Thanks for sticking with me.

Knowing where to look?

Rose sat next to Jack as he drove through the half deserted streets of Cardiff. The combination of almost torrential rain and the biting cold had kept the majority of Cardiff clubbers in doors. Rose stared out the window knowing that if the Doctor, her Doctor had been with her he would have been moaning about the general apathy of the population. For once she was glad of it. Apathy meant the streets were easier to negotiate.

"Jack?"

"Yeah." He smiled slightly, still unsure quite how the blonde had arrived in his dimension and timezone.

"The Rift is slowly being destroyed. The Torchwood of my dimension."

"This is your dimension." He answered.

"Are damamged. Each one of them went through the Rift because of the Daleks and the Cybermen. The same way I was dragged through."

"Yes I know. " He paused as he reached the street near the New Theatre. "Yet, you Rosie are not evil."

"Aw thanks." She smirked.

"I mean, you haven't changed. Same blonde hair, same purple jacket and cheeky smile. Same attitude." Jack teased.

"No, not quite."

"Are you still looking for him?" He asked as the lights turned green. Rose sighed.

"No." She continued staring out of the window. "No, he's out there somewhere but he's changed again. I can feel it. I heard he is travelling with a Scottish girl and her husband. RiverSong is on the scene."

"Now?"

"Yeah. I always knew she would turn up at some point in his tenth incarnation. It's in the Scrolls. He'll forget me."

"Rose, he loves you."

"Yeah. He did." Rose sighed quietly. "Look Jack, we have to concentrate on finding Donna and the others. That baby has to be safe."

"Anwen."

"Yes, her safety is important. She is only a baby but she is the future of Torchwood. It is her that has to come through all this unscathed." Rose stared at him as he drove towards the last known location for Donna and Rhys.

"Why?"

"She's your grandchild."

"You know?"

"Anwen Williams-Cooper is legendary."

"Rose."

"Turn left." She pointed as she saw a flash of red hair ahead. The rain beat down on the 4x4 as Jack fell quiet and did as he was told.

"Rachel." Ianto placed his coffee mug on the small table. "How wise is it that Gwen be running half way around the city after the crack on the head she had?"

"Not wise at all." Rachel sighed. "Ianto, bach. I am too old for all this."

"Sorry." He sighed. "I'm sorry you got dragged into all this."

"Oh Ianto, don't worry about it." She smiled slightly. "Get hold of Jack and get him back here. I understand why she did it, her baby is out there somewhere."

"Yeah."

He pulled on his jacket as he headed for the door, hoping that he could get his team back together before it was too late.

"Well, this is bloody ridiculous, this is." Rhys stated as they sat in the cafe in Roath. Donna rolled her eyes. The street outside partially obscured by rain and cars parked along the side of the road.

"Yeah, that helps." Donna snapped. "Thanks for that."

"You tell me hardly anything. I'm 'ere with my baby daughter while my wife is Christ's only knows where and you expect me to be 'elpful! Give me a break will you? You are doing my head in." Rhys snapped as she picked up the coffee in front of her.

"I can't tell you what I dun know."

"You know more than you are telling me. So far I've been shot at, 'ad gunmen chase me to the house and now I'm running from people who want to kill me. Oh and I 'av no idea where my wife is."

"Rhys." Donna sighed. "No one wants to kill you. It's Anwen. Her and Gwen. Jack, Ianto and me."

"My baby?"

"She's special. She was born on the Rift."

"So was Gwen."

"Exactly. And Ianto."

"And me."

"No, you are a Caerphilly boy. The Rift doesn't entend that way. Just through Cardiff Bay towards the Rhondda." She sighed. "There are hundreds of old mine shafts under the valleys. Some are purely mine shafts, abandoned when the mines closed. Others, well one actually runs from the Bay to the very last village in the Rhondda."

"Treherbert." Rhys pulled a face. "Hold on, how come you know so much about South Wales."

"I do my homework. I aint thick."

"Right." He paused. "So why are this alien version of Torchwood after my family."

"Huon particles." She stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the universe. "It'll mean that if they kill anyone with Huon particles, like me and Gwen they can remove the Huon and lock the Rift."

"Lock the Rift."

"Yeah." Donna stood up as a familiar black 4x4 pulled up outside the cafe. "With them on the wrong side. They want to use Anwen and the rest of us to turn Torchwood Cardiff into the type of Torchwood we would be afraid of."

"Well, Gwen's lot give me the heebejeebes half the time." He smiled as Anwen looked up and gave him a toothy grin. "Nothing is going to happen to my girls. I promise you that."

"Good." Donna smiled. "Because the cavalry has just turned up."

"Bloody Hell, who's the blonde?"

"Rose Tyler." Donna smiled.

"Who?"

"The woman with all the answers Rhys." She stood and walked out of the cafe as Rhys shook his head and followed.
