A/N: Surprise, I posted early! I will be leaving for London today and won't be able to post until July 10th or so. So, Hello London, by US!
Hospitals
I was sweating and breathing hard as I ran next to Jack as the Doctor's and Nurses ran him to a room on a gurney. Everything was a blur. Tears were streaming down my face and my nice black dress had blood all over it, as well as my hands. It wasn't my blood though.
It was Jacks.
I tripped over my high heels and put out my hands to balance myself and kept running with the gurney, holding Jacks unmoving hand as I went. Jack's hand falling over the side and swinging there as the Doctors rolled him away. Everything around me was a blur and suddenly I was stopped by a doctor, saying "You can't go in there miss. Not in surgery."
"Like hell I won't stay out here!" I shouted back at the man. My sweating hand slipped through Jacks hand and they rolled him away, the door closing in front of me.
"Miss, you can't go in." the Doctor said, grabbing my wrists tight before they could slap him. "Listen. Calm down. Your boyfriend's going to be fine."
"You don't know that." I said tears streaming down my dirty. Well I did know that he was going to be fine, eventually. But right then I was so stressed that my reasoning had shut down, which didn't happen very much in Time Lords but was common enough if something tragic happened to someone they… cared about.
I thought I saw the Doctor nodding to someone over my shoulder. A second later I felt a sharp pinch on my back left shoulder and slowly my body seized up. My eyes widened. They were giving me meds. Human meds. The ones that make Time Lords crazy or… kill them all together.
"Please." I gasped. "Dr. Leck. Get Dr. Leck." My body fell to the ground as my eyes started to close, my body already going into shock.
I awoke in a small white private room. I was laying on a bed with white sheets over me and two pillows propping my head up. To my left were all sorts of futuristic machines, nothing like the Tarids had.
I had all sorts of wires hooked up to me, but thankfully, nothing was pumping blood. I guess Dr. Leck had some sense after all to know that human and Time Lord blood would cause unknown consequences.
I winced, thinking of Jack and then Amelia Rose, my unborn daughter. Would she have consequences to deal with?
I pushed the thought into the back of my mind as the door opened and Dr. Leck walked in. "Susan, your awake." He said coming over to me, taking off his stethoscope from his neck and listening to my hearts.
"Everything seems to be working." Dr. Leck put his stethoscope back around his neck and sat down next to me. I felt the bed dip. "Susan, what happened?"
"Where's Jack?" I asked.
"Still sleeping." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "What happened out there? We've heard the sides from your friends but now we only need your and Jack's input."
I slowly breathed out, not answering him right away. I swallowed then started. "It all started when Evangelia asked me if I wanted to come to The Green Green Dragon, she said that I could bring… Jack along as well." I paused then started again. "It was supposed to be a congratulations present to celebrate that I got off of parole. I guess this is what happens when I have extra time on my hands. Jack told me that there were rumors flying around that The Green Dragon was home to all kinds of nasty business and that we should check it out."
"When we got to the restaurant slash bar, we were taken up to the VP room where Arthur and his cronies were. Mary, Joan and Evangelia were there too. I guessed that they were forced too. They didn't look too happy about being there."
As I told the story my mind wandered back to that night, where, for the first time since the year that never was, I was scared. I was in uncharted territory. There was no script, no lines for me to say. I wished The Doctor would come and get me.

Arthur laughed. "You think that I, the biggest, baddest drug lord of all time, would willingly give away valuable… goods?"
My eyes narrowed. "Big mistake. If there's one thing I hate more than idiots is slavery. Any you have made a big mistake getting me pissed off." While I was saying this my hand was slowly moving toward my purse. I quickly took out my gun the same time as Arthur whipped out his.
"Well well well. It looks like we have a standoff." Arthur said with a smile. "I wonder who's going to live."
Arthur and I stared at each other, both of us daring the other to shoot. After what felt like hours, I heard the sound of the door behind me bursting open.
That's when it happened.
Using the door opening as a detraction, Arthur squeezed the trigger and the shot rang out. My eyes went wide. I knew at this close of a range I wouldn't have time to move out of the way without other people being hit.
Then I felt something shove into me, slamming myself onto the floor. I put out my hands on the floor and twisted around to see who pushed me. It was Jack. He stumbled back holding his left shoulder, his face twisted in pain.
"Jack!" I screamed as he fell to his knees. I scrambled over to him and caught him as he fell the rest of the way. I lowered him to the ground. I could tell that someone was yelling in the background. My ears rang and it was getting hard for me to breath but I didn't care. I had to make sure that he survived.
"Jack." I said again. "Jack. Please. Please stay with me. You can't die. Not yet." I had ripped the cloth from the table and had pressed it to Jack's wound.
Jack groaned and let out a small moan. "Susan." Jack whispered, his eyes still closed.
"Hey." I said softly running my hand through his wet hair, trying to calm him down. "Hey, I'm here."
"You're all right?" He asked, swallowing hard.
I smiled, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Yeah." I breathed.
Jack swallowed. "Good."
I heard laughter behind me. I tensed. "Mary." I called. "Come here and help." I heard the scraping of a chair and a few moments later she came into my vision. "Keep pressure on the wound." I told her, only moving my bloody hand away when she took over.
I slowly stood up and turned around, my face as murderous as I could make it. The laughing from Arthur and his cronies stopped immediately. "You bastard." I growled.
"Um, Susan?" Joan stood off to the side with Evangelia, both of them with tears in their eyes. "Your completely outnumbered. Maybe you should wait."
"Like hell." I muttered and sprang forward.
I didn't remember much after that.
Gun shots, screaming. My hearts beating so, so fast.

"Oh God." I whispered. I was back in my hospital chamber with Dr. Leck.
"What?" Dr. Leck asked softly. "What happened?
I looked at Dr. Leck, shocked, tears rolling down my face. I swallowed then spoke in a voice that sounded hardly like it was mine whispered, "I killed them." I looked down. "Dr. -" My throat tightened. I swallowed.
"What am I?"
