Here is the next installment!!!Please Review!! PLEASE xxx


"Ok team, we have a situation." They all looked at him, "you need guns and we need to be on the plass in less than 5 minutes. Lots of ammunition we could have around 30 UNIT operatives to tango with!"

"Sorry UNIT?" Gwen asked.

"They have about 30 detailed on Louise and she's running this way!"

"Why?"

"Who knows, come on we gotta move it." Miles looked at Jack. Sam gulped; they weren't going to get her. She'd set it up so carefully, telling them everything. Ianto would leave at 12 to get here then they would have been able to grab her. What went wrong? It was only 11am Ianto must have left early. Jack loaded his Webley and Miles was already moving up to the plass on the lift. Gwen looked at Sam.

"Come on Sam." They ran over to the lift and headed up into the small information centre, they ran out into the bright day. Miles was looking around. They went and joined him. Ianto jogged over moments later and Miles handed him his gun, just as Jack appeared off of the invisible lift.

Louise ran round the corner as fast as she could, how the hell they knew who she was she had no idea. What did they want with her? She kept running back towards the plass, as she vaulted over the metal railings she saw Jack step off the invisible lift and she noticed the rest of the team stood by him, she pushed on harder.

"Jack." She yelled. He looked over at her then noticed the 30 or so armed UNIT soldiers running after her. She watched the rest of the team brace for a fight. She ran towards Jack not slowing up as she reached them. Jack stood just in front of the rest. Ianto caught her in his left arm pulling her to him, shielding her from the oncoming troops. They stood waiting for the troops to stop running, they were surrounded over 50 troops surrounded them.

"Hand her over Harkness you don't know who you dealing with."

"I think you'll find I do." Sam recognised some of the soldiers as the men who had bought her drinks when she was giving them the information, the woman talking to Jack now the first to visit her. "I'm under higher orders than you to keep her safe."

"There is no one higher."

"The Doctor is higher. He sent her here so Torchwood could protect her. She pushed away from Ianto who was reluctant to let go of her. She walked over to Jack and stood by his side.

"She's a threat to the world."

"Not whilst she's in our care."

"And anyway, I'm alien so technically it theirs. No matter whom I am or who sent me." She smiled at the woman in front of her.

"You're dangerous."

"So are you." Louise smirked, spreading seeds of doubt into the other recruits minds with her words. Ianto came forward and started to move her towards the lift.

"She's ours Harkness." The woman reiterated.

"No she'd not and you know it. Leave now, don't make me bring him in to prove it you know he won't be happy. You're out of line; I'll be calling you superior." Louise looked back at Jack. So grateful she was here with them now. The woman shook her head.

"I have orders."

"You won't be fulfilling them, not whilst we are here."

"I will and today." She shot Jack in the head, Louise watched him crumple and fall to the ground. The team all snapped their weapons up. Before any of the rest of the team had a chance, Louise had fired off several rounds the first 15 troops all fell to the floor, not know what had happened. She aimed at the woman.

"Who are you?"

"I'm head of the alien retrieval team for UNIT."

"You won't be for much longer. Take your people and leave now." She said loudly and clearly. The woman smiled and radioed though some instructions and some of the troops started to leave.

"The thing is I don't need you alive." She shot Louise who was so surprised by the action didn't have time to counter it. The bullet ripped through her head, she felt it leave before the hit the ground. The familiar silent darkness enveloped her. Gwen took a few steps forward ready to shot the woman if she even moved her gun. "We're not here for you." Miles looked at the two bodies in front of him; Ianto put his hand on his arm.

"Don't." He whispered.

"She killed them."

"Don't worry. It's going to be fine." The last of the troops climbed into the back of the van. A large black land rover stopped and the woman walked over to it getting in knowing it wasn't over. As it drove off Gwen dropped to her knees at Jack. She'd never got used to watching him die she hoped she never would. He eyes flickered open and he took a sudden intake of breath.

Sam looked at Louise's body, she was gone. They said they weren't going to kill her, they'd said they needed her.

"They're gone." She whispered. She looked over at Ianto who was cradling Louise in his arms, silent tears running down his cheek. Jack looked over. No he thought she couldn't be.

"When did that happen?"

"Just a minute or so ago." Come on he thought regenerate, it can't be your last regeneration. He'd never thought to ask how many she had left. Come on please. Regenerate.

Louise woke in the Torchwood Hub; she put her hand up to her head where she could feel the sticky congealed blood. She groaned. It was so cold down here. She started to sit up. It was dark; no one seemed to be around. She had a headache no surprise she thought that was a large bullet. She blinked to get the fuzziness out of her eyes. She carefully stood up and walked up the steps out of the morgue. As she got higher up she saw light. She walked into the main atrium of the Hub and Jack looked over at her first.

"Thanks for giving up on me." She smiled and the rest looked over at her shocked. Jack stood up and embraced her. They all had large drinks in their hands. "Can someone pour me one of those and tell me how long I've been out." She groaned as she sat down her spine crackling slightly.

"Its 8pm, you've been out since about 11.30am."

"I suspected as much."

"Why did you take so long?" Jack asked handing her a drink.

"I wasn't expecting it." Miles sand Sam looked over at her wide eyed having seen two of their team members come back to life. Gwen and Ianto were surprised but they were used to Jack. Ianto looked over at her. She looked away. She hadn't told him about this.

"I'm glad your back." He said quietly.

"We all are." Jack said.

"How?" Sam asked.

"It's part of who I am." She said, "You can't really explain it."

"Your both alien?" she said Louise could hear a hint of disgust in her voice and wondered if Jack had made a move and not told her he was from the future.

"Well Jack is a fixed point in space and time he's from the future, there was an accident and he got bought back to life and now he's a permanent fixture!"

"And I'm from a very ancient race, I'm a Time lord. We have a habit of coming back to life, if we're lucky or as some people see it unlucky habit." Ianto stood up and left, Jack looked at her a small smile on his face.

"So you will die one day?" Miles asked.

"Yes." Sam got up and walked away to sit at her desk. Gwen had already gone home. Ianto returned a few minutes later with towel and a bowl. He sat down next to her and started to wipe the blood off her face. The others dispersed and he started to wipe the blood off her face.

"Ianto I'm sorry."

"Don't." He said simply.

"I am really sorry."

"I know. You always are." He padded her face gentle with the warm damp towel. "There you go you don't look like the walking dead anymore and trust me I've seen them before and they aren't pretty!" she laughed.
