Chapter 4
We have arrived at a storage centre. Deserted. Good enough for a Torchwood base nobody would suspect... a man in his 70's leans out of the window as we pull up to the barrier. Not the best security.
"Back again Mr Jones? I thought you just wanted to have a look around yesterday?" the old man says too inquisitive.
"Please call me Ianto...these are some people that want to have a look at some of the goods that I have in there. Is that OK sir?" Jack says. His eyes never leaving the old mans.
"Oh yes that's fine I'll just lift the barrier up for you" The man says pressing the button to raise the barrier as he does so "Have a nice day!" he shouts as we crawl past.
Jack eventually pulls up at the most isolated storage compartment. "It's a bit small Jack" I say ready to ridicule him if I have to.
"Don't worry Ziva. Time for some Torchwood magic" He says getting out of the car and walking towards the door of the compartment.
He opens the door and walks in and beckons us to follow him.
"Gibbs, get the door"
Its pitch black apart from one flashing red light about a metre above us. I reach out for Tony's hand in the darkness. He pulls me close and puts an affectionate arm around me. The flashing light turns green and I hear a click. A trapdoor opens underneath the light sending a column of bright white light cutting through the darkness illuminating our faces. Tony quickly removes his arm before Gibb's sees. Rule no.12 never date a co-worker. Jack clambers down into the unknown below us. I follow. Then Tony, McGee and Gibbs follow.
"Oh...my...gosh...Jack...it's...the..." I say struggling to form sentences I am so surprised and shocked.
"Spitting image right" Jack says a smile plastered all over his face. I run over and give him a hug. I can feel the jealousy practically steaming from Tony. I pull away and look at the super top-secret base before me. Everything is silver metal including the staircase in front of us descending into a room full of I-5's and other mysterious things that have fallen through the rift. There are 5 computers surrounding a gigantic screen.
"Shall we get to work?" Jack says quickly removing his coat and placing it on the conveniently placed coat stand and descending the stairs. McGee follows his face like a child on Christmas morning.
"I guess we probably should get to work...this case will be complicated" DiNozzo says
"No it won't Tony...not with Torchwood equipment" I say
"Shall I retcon them now or later?" Jack says and I suppress a giggle.
"Retcon?" All three of the guys say in unison.
"Amnesia pills which cause someone to forget recent memories. The amnesia can be cured if the person's memories are triggered by one specific image or if they are intelligent enough for example, Ziva here remembered the kidnpp- OWCH! What the hell Zi?" I stamp on his foot with all the might I can put into it.
"They don't know!" I hiss at him.
"OOHH well this is awkward!... back to work people" Jack says walking towards the small office.
Tony comes over and starts to ask me about it "Don't just don't" I say putting my hand up and walking away.
Gibbs comes over. "I know Ziva, you told me...If you ever need anyone to talk to...well you know..." he says putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you Gibbs...I may take you up on that" I say "Now we should get to work... I will scan for partial facial recognition; see if we can get a relative of this guy." I say and walk towards one of the many computers.
1 hour later
"Jack?" I say poking my head around the small wall that separates 'his' office from the rest of the hub.
"Yeah? What is it Sprog? Did you find something?" Jack says looking up from whatever he is doing.
"Stop it with the petnames OK? And we have a major problem" I say sitting down in the chair opposite "The dead man that we have found goes by the name of Petty Officer Hugh Denmark and he was 38 years old...he did not fall through the rift Jack"
"Do you know what this means?"
"Yes I do"
"They are back"
