With one practiced motion, Gwen returned fire, expertly placing a bullet between the eyes of the murderous lieutenant. Reveling in the warmth revenge provided her. The other UNIT soldiers readied their weapons to level her. But an order from the UNIT copter put them at ease. She knelt down in front of The pile of man and alien. Ignoring the orders being shouted at her from above. There, she noticed the spreading pool of blood the two men were laying in. One far too large to account for just one bullet wound. Unable to puzzle it together at the moment, she holstered her weapon, standing and motioning down the copter. As it landed she had three of the officers carry Fall to one side, while three other officers and a medic hoisted Ianto and Jack onto stretchers. A medic wiped the blood from his hands, walking over to Gwen with a look of both pity and fear.
"Ma'am it appears that they've both been shot in the back. Neither of them are dead, but they are both in a bad way." Gwen nodded, tapping so on her COMM.
"Tosh. Jack and Ianto are down. I need you at the back of the building ASAP." She was met with static. Worried, she tried again.
"Tosh? Tosh are you ok? Tosh can you hear me?" There was more static, and then a scraping sound, as if someone was taking it off and putting it back on.
"Ma'am this is Corporal Charles Jenson, of UNIT. I regret to inform you that your friend has been shot, as per the orders of Lieutenant Ulrich." Gwen blinked rapidly. Tosh? Dead? No, it can't be. She snarled into the headset.
"Lieutenant Ulrich is dead Corporal. I just put a bullet through her brain myself." There was a sharp intake of breath over the line.
"I know ma'am. That's why your friend is still alive. We received a cease–fire order right after that, err, happened." Tosh is alive! Thank god.
"So where is she? I don't want UNIT to have anything to do with her."
"I know ma'am. We have done far too much to your team already. I would apologize, but there isn't the words." That struck Gwen. She had come to think that all UNIT officers were cruel and soulless beings.
"That's why she is currently in route to the nearest civilian hospital, via police escort." That made the Welshwoman grimace. She didn't know how much RETCONN this whole procedure would take.
"Thank you Corporal, Jenson was it?"
"Yes ma'am." The helicopter carrying her fallen teammates, took off, leaving her alone to deal with everything.
"Your consideration will be noted when I report this to UNIT." Well, Ianto's report. If he makes it.
"Thank you ma'am. We have also found your SUV. It should be arriving in a few moments." Gwen sighed. So much RETCONN.
"Thank you." She turned around, barking orders for the officers to put Fall into the back of the SUV, mindful to lay down a sheet of plastic first. When that was settled she negotiated to have the three officers follow her to the HUB, That left clean up. Forced with the task of RETCONNing the whole of the Cardiff police force, Gwen thought about trying to simply tell them the truth, and let them laugh at how absurd it was. Then realized that frankly, all she had to do was convince one man that it had been something stupid, a weapon or something, and everyone else would believe it. She had seen Ianto so it hundreds of times to large crowds of witnesses. Settling for this, she simply relayed the point to the first officer she saw, and got into the SUV.
