"So you just let her go out?" Gwen asked Jack.
"Yes she deserves a night off and she is a young woman she deserves to have a night out, she deserves a life out of Torchwood." He didn't let on that he wanted her out of the Hub so he could get Ianto to himself; whenever she was around he was awfully distracted. Even after their converstion Jack had been trying extra hard to get Ianto attention.
"Do you know where she is?" why did Gwen have to know everything.
"No."
"Did you see her leave?" would she ever give up?
"No."
"Do you care where she is?" Jack hesitated then shrugged, shaking his head,
"No." Gwen just looked at him, "I don't need to keep tags on her Gwen, it's her life she has a right to her freedom." He walked out of his office and down into the main area of the Hub, just as Ianto ran up the steps towards them.
"Jack we've got a problem the monitor is going crazy and I really think you should look outside."
"Do I really want to look outside Ianto?"
"Probably not Sir." Jack pulled up the outside CCTV footage, it was 11.55pm it should be pitch black but a bright shining orb of light hovered above the bay.
"Oh no, not them again will they ever give up?"
"Yes, it's them exactly the same readings."
"Right," said Jack pulling his phone out of his pocket, "get the weapons I'll call Louise."
TWTWTW
The music was pumping in the club; really loudly Louise was dancing with David, who was the son of the owner of the club. His hands on her waist pulled her closer, running his hands down on to her thighs she pulled them back up quickly but not quick enough. He looked at her not worried just curious.
"Do you always go out heavily armed?" he whispered into her ear. She smiled.
"Yes, goes with my job."
"Are you a spy or something?"
"Something like that." She smiled; he pulled her back closer to him, their hips swaying together.
"So your dangerous then?" she smiled.
"Very."
"Good job I like dangerous women then isn't it." Then her phone started to ring, she pulled it off the belt round her thigh David looked at the exposed flesh. She smiled to herself. Then frowned the ID flashed up Jack.
"I've got to go." She said sadly.
"Don't I get to know your name?" they walked over to the table they'd been sat at he sat down. She leant over the table and kissed him.
"It's not like you're going to remember me." She said solemnly and she carefully dropped retcon into his beer without him seeing. She turned and walked away flipping the phone open.
"This had better be good."
"It's good just get outside." Jack said she walked up the stairs out of the basement club. Expecting it to be night she was surprised to see it was perfectly light.
"What is it?"
"It's a sphere of light, we don't know their name we can stop it with specialist ammunition, we've got some meet us by the water tower." She hung up and started to run towards the bay.
As she rounded the corner she saw it a huge mass of glowing light and she saw Jack, Gwen and Ianto all lined up straight at it. She pulled her gun off of her leg and ran towards them as she reached them Jack threw her a magazine for her gun the clip loaded with four specialized bullets.
"3..." he yelled, she ejected the magazine from her gun and pushed the new one in its place hearing it click loudly, "2..." she pointed it up to the sky at the massive sphere, "1..." she pulled the slide back cocking the gun. "Fire." He yelled and she pulled the trigger firing the bullet up at the sphere she heard four like tics as they hit it.
"3..."yelled Gwen who was next to Jack, she ejected the spent cartridge, "2..." she cocked the gun, "1..." she aimed it at the sphere, "Fire." Gwen yelled and they did.
"3..."yelled Ianto who was next to Gwen, Louise ejected the spent cartridge, "2..." she cocked the gun hearing the satisfying click, "1..." she aimed it at the sphere, "Fire." Ianto yelled and they did each bullet hitting home.
"3..." Louise yelled, ejecting the cartridge of the previously fired round, hearing all the other do the same, "2..." she yelled pulling the slide right back, "1..." she slowly aimed the gun back up at the sphere, she looked along the line at the rest of the team each with a determined look on their face. "Fire." She shouted into the night and they did at one pull their triggers firing the bullets into the mass of light. The other three turned away but Louise watched intrigued as the sphere seemed to glow suddenly brighter then grow a little as if pulsing then it imploded, the outer sides sucking inwards causing a small localized explosion that disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
"Well done team, nicely done." Jack yelled.
"That was surprisingly easy." Louise commented.
"Well we've done it before, they come through every year or so, so we're prepared now." Ianto said and then he looked at Louise properly for the first time that evening. "Wow you look amazing." She blushed.
"Thanks Ianto."
"Well Gwen, Ianto you can get off home and Louise you can come back to the Hub to cover the rest of the night."
"But it's my night off."
"It's not night anymore." He shrugged turning away from her. She followed him reluctantly.
"I can cover the rest of the shift," Gwen offered.
"No Louise will. Good night Gwen." Gwen turned and walked off towards her car. Ianto looked at Louise who smiled wearily and she followed Jack back to the Hub.
