Bad Rescue

Previously…

"You're time's up!" Came the voice outside the door. I heard the rattle of keeps then the heavy door scraping on the floor. I started to panic. I didn't want to betray Jack, I really didn't. But I was afraid of how the man would react if I said no.

As the door opened, I heard what sounded like Machine fire. When he closed the door, the sound disappeared and I was startled when he locked the door from the inside. What was going on?

"So, I guess the Agency is here to bail you out." The man said, anger clearly shown on his face. "But It will be too late for them and you. They will never get passed my guards and this room is Time proof and I am the only one with the key. So, here's what will happen, your precious Jack got a tip where you were but was too late, you were already dead when they found you and I was no where in sight."

The man smirked as he came closer and lifted up a gun. My eyes were wide and I struggled against the wrists of the chair holding me down and the man came closer and closer.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Jack's voice said. The tone that he was using was the darkest that I had ever heard it.

My eyes widened and I said, "Jack? Jack, where are you?" I was focused on the man who was coming closer and closer with a gun. I was struggling even more and the leather that held my wrists down was cutting into my skin, making it bleed.

"I'm using the com. and video system." Jack said. "There are guys outside your door right now trying to get it open. Susan, you've been gone for two months." My eyes widened. I knew I had only stayed as a nanny for a month… I was held for another I realized. Having drugs pumped into your system could definitely make time more loopy.

"You won't get it open." The man who kidnapped me said, smirking. "The controls are isomorphic."

I blinked. "I thought you had keys."

"I do."

My eyes scrunched together in confusion. My head really hurt. The Man took a step forward and put the gun to my head. I froze. Why, oh why am I always in this position?

"Tell the men outside this door to stop whatever they are doing or I will KILL her. Is that understood, Harkness?"

"Understood." Jack said darkly. "They are moving away now."

"Jack, It's okay." I said. "I'll be fine."

"Shut up!" The man yelled. I flinched. He pressed a button at the back of the chair and the leather that was covering my wrists and chest came off. "This is how we will do it." The man growled. "Miss. Anderson will stand up and walk out with me to my shuttle. I will leave the planet with her and drop her off at the closest planet after I am free and you never come after me again. Got it?"

Silence.

"GOT IT?" He shouted, moving the gun to my throat and pressing harder into my skin.

"Yes. I understand." Jack said dryly.

"Stand up." The man hissed to me. When I didn't move he grabbed the back of my neck and forced me to move forward. I was a little unsteady on my feet but that was probably from being drugged. We walked down an empty hallway and down another.

After what felt like an eternity we reached the door to the world outside where his shuttle was most likely waiting. "Don't try to escape." He said, growling in my ear. He squeezed my neck a bit tighter and clicked off the safety for the gun and readjusted it against my head.

We walked toward the shuttle and got onto the ramp when the door that we came threw to get out to the loading dock slammed open and Jack stood there, a hard expression on his face. "Susan!" Jack yelled over the wind which was whipping my hair around my face, making it harder to see. That's it. I thought. I am cutting my hair short!

"Jack!" I yelled back in a slightly panicked voice.

"Shut up!" The man said and knocked me on the head with the but of his gun. I cried out and stumbled to clutch the wall, my head spinning and black dots clouded my vision. "Mr. Harkness, I thought we agreed to let me go or I will kill her."

"Well," Jack started. "Since you haven't killed her yet I think that you aren't brave enough to do it."

"Jack?" I asked, debating weather or not to sit down or make a run for it. "What the hell are you doing?"

Jack ignored me. "Really, Mr. Vincent." The man who captured me tensed and froze. "Ah, so that is your name." Jack smirked. "And you lived on South Carmon Street in South Verona. The year, if I remember correctly was, 5123."

I could visibly see Mr. Vincent shaking. "So, I hit a sore spot." Jack said, inching closer. "What would happen if someone came to that house the year of, let's see, 5122. The year before you were born and killed your mother? Hm?"

"Leave my mother out of this, Time Agent." Mr. Vincent spat.

"Then leave my girlfriend out of it too." Jack hissed. "It's only fair."

Mr. Vincent smirked. "Nope!" Before I could react he slammed his hand on a red button that started to close the hatch to the shuttle.

"Susan! Run, get off!" Jack yelled, running to the shuttle.

"Don't even think about it." Mr. Vincent yelled, pointing his gun at me as I started to run and fired. I cried out in pain, grabbed my left shoulder and sunk against the wall, gritting my teeth in pain, praying I wouldn't regenerate.

"Susan!" Jack yelled in horror as the shuttle door closed and the engine started to take off. The ride up was bumpy and I had black dots in my vision. Damnit I thought as I had enough energy to roll my eyes and passed out, again.

A/N: Some notes on reviews:

ElysiumPhoenix: Thanks, and this will be the last of the cliff's for a while...

I'm a Witch So Deal With It: Well, Susan was first a human that was turned into a Time Lady, so some of her human characteristics seep through sometimes.
