All I could feel was someone carrying me, and they were running. Running and running. I opened my eyes slightly, managing to catch a quick look of the blurry wreck of where the hub was, with the sound of bullets echoing through my ear before suddenly silence. Wherever we were, we were safe.

"Flo?" I looked up as Ianto put me back onto my feet softly. "Are you ok?"

"Fine." I coughed out as he placed a kiss to my forehead. "Were you running away from a sniper?"

"Yeah."

"What's going on?" I gulped, placing a hand on my stoumach.

"Someone's trying to kill us." Ianto laughed nervously, looking round the empty street we were on.

"The usual then." I said nervously. "Are you ok?" I asked the baby.

"I'm scared." The baby replied. "I want Daddy."

"He's not here." I said sadly. "I'm sorry sweetie."

"Come on." Ianto said, grabbing my hand and pulling me across the street, into a phone box. We squeezed in and he picked up the phone, holding it between our ears and dialled the number I recognized as Gwen's. "Come on, come on... Come on."

The phone picked up, "Hello?" The voice of Rhys asked.

"Jesus Christ, Rhys!" Gwen hissed in the background.

"It's me." Ianto said.

"It's Ianto, right?" Rhys muttered.

"Christ's sake, man!" Gwen hissed again, along with the sound of her grabbing the phone from him. "Ianto, are you OK?"

"Yeah, have you heard from Jack?" Ianto asked.

"No. No I haven't. What about Flo? Sorry, hang on." She muttered, moving around in the background.

"She's with me, don't worry."

"Do you think he survived?"

"He usually does." I laughed sarcastically, thinking about all the times I'd watched Jack die and come back to life. During the year that never was on the Valient, the Silo at the end of the universe, the Crucible... loads. "Who was it? Any idea?"

"Yeah I had a run-in with one of them. Said he was working for the government."

"That doesn't make sense." Ianto said, frowning.

"How did they get close enough to plant it inside him, guys?"

"It was him, that Dr Rupesh guy. He was shot and killed in the hospital earlier tonight. It must've been then."

"Let's go." We heard Rhys mutter in the background.

"Yeah. Take the bag. Get the car ready." Gwen said to him. "Er, where shall we meet, guys?"

"Your phone, your phone could be bugged." Ianto said.

"Erm, right... Er... Remember the last time we had ice cream together?"

"No."

"Yeah, you do." I said quickly, looking up at him. "After the Grand Slam. I came with you guys and Owen was going on about how Martha was not a better doctor than him and Tosh started swearing at the cashier in Japanese."

Ianto gave a remembering nod, "I don't like ice cream. It gives me a headache." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I've got to go." Gwen said quickly, hanging up.

Ianto sighed and placed the phone back on the hook. "What now?" He asked.

"Well." I said, stepping out of the phone box. "We'll figure it out as we go along."

...

I glanced down at my watch: 3:10. I sighed as Ianto and I made our way down a old street. Ianto glanced back at shadowy figures walking away down the street and squeezed the hand he'd refused to let go of. The two of us tensed as a ominous van trundled along the street slowly behind us. It pulled up and we turned and looked, watching it nervously before someone got out, put a pile of newspapers on the pavement before getting back into the van and driving off. With a sigh, we watched as it left the street before Ianto picked up one of the papers and we peered at it.

Message to the world: "We are coming" read the headline. Ianto sighed, looking around and we walked away.

"Where are we going?" I frowned as he lead me off.

"Back to the hub."

"Not much of it left."

"But it's somewhere to start."

...

Ianto and I leaned over, laying on the roof of a nearby building as we looked down at the crater that had been created from the explosion on the plasa. The plasa was half destroyed now, covered in rubble. The paving that was connected to the invisible lift was completley gone now, and as for the water tower... well.

We watched the emergency workers fiddle with a body bag as a woman, clearly their boss, dressed in black watched overhead the operations. They loaded the body bag in to the back of a black van and the doors slammed shut.

"Oh Jack." I mumbled as Ianto reached into his pocker and quickly scribbled NK03 0XR onto his hand, the van's regestration number, before getting up and pulling me to my feet.

...

"Are you sure this is safe?" I asked quietly as Ianto scribbled on a car, leaning against an alleyway wall.

"She's my sister." Ianto said as I read what he'd written.

Where dad broke my leg, at noon.

Bring laptop,

I.

...

Ianto and I nervously made our way through the park, past the children playing on the playground and up to Rhiannon, Ianto's sister, sitting on the bench.

"Hey." Ianto gulped, looking around nervously.

"Oh, my God!" Rhiannon gasped. "What happened to you?"

"I'm not sure yet." He muttered nervously. "This is my friend Flo."

She smiled at me softly, "I wasn't followed. Sit down." We nodded and sat down opposite her.

"You worked out my little code, then?"

"Dad didn't break your leg on purpose, you know."

"He pushed me too hard. He always did."

"Well, you should've held on tighter. Seriously." She looked us up and down, covered in dust and dirt. "How did you get in that state?"

"That bomb." I said nervously. "It was meant for us and the people we work with." I said, gesturing to me and Ianto.

"My God!" Rhi gasped. "Why?"

"I don't know."

"What sort of civil servants are you?"

"Unappreciated ones." I laughed dryly.

"Are they OK? The people you work with?"

"I don't know." Ianto said nervously. "Gwen's alive, but there's no way of contacting her. I'm not sure about Jack."

"Is he your boss? The one Susan saw you with?"

"He'll be OK." I said, noticing Ianto's resistance to answer. "They won't get rid of him that easy. We just need to find him."

The three of us looked around as silence filled the air, the sound of the kids playing stopped, and the children stopped, staring straight ahead. Ianto and I got up, looking over with a frown.

"We are coming tomorrow." The children began. "We are coming tomorrow. We are coming tomorrow. We are coming tomorrow. We are coming... tomorrow. We are coming tomorrow..." They chanted.

"This has something to do with it." Ianto said. "It must do."

"When they tried to blow us up, this is what we were working on." I explained to Rhi, who nodded back at me nervously and the children began to carry on playing. Ianto bolted into the playground, "No, Ianto, don't!" I shouted after him. He ran up to one of the children, kneeling down at the little girl.

"Hey, hey, hello." He asked as I ran after him. "What did it feel like? Just then?"

"Leave her alone! Go away!" The child's mother shouted at Ianto. "Leave her alone. Piss off, you perv!"

Suddenly Rhiannon ran up behing us, "It happened to David and Mica." She said nervously. "What is it? What is it?"

"I don't know." Ianto said. "But this is what we do. We deal with things like this."

"So deal with it. Stop it."

"We need to find Jack. Give me that." He grabbed the laptop from her.

"How will this help?"

"I took the number of the van they put him in. You can track any vehicle with the right computer programmes."

"Really?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Give me the car keys." Ianto said.

"Oh, Johnny'll do his nut!" Rhiannon exclaimed.

"Please! We don't have time to spare." He begged and Rhiannon put the keys in his hands. Ianto grabbed my hand and we jogged off towards the car with Rhi chasing us.

"A "thank you" would be nice!"

"Look, I'm sorry. I've got to go. Thanks for all this." Ianto said as he opened the door for me. I climbed into the passenger seat and he got into the driver seat.

"Be careful!"

Ianto put the car into gear and we screeched away.

"I have an idea." I said as we drove.

"Good, cause I don't have one." Ianto replied, squeezing the wheel tightly.

"Forklift truck." I said simply.

Ianto frowned before it slowly turned into a grin, "Oh you bloody genius!"

...

I hung onto the edge as Ianto, driving the forklift truck, pulled out the back of the cell. Gwen and Rhys ducked under the rubble falling off and ran towards us.

"Ah, Ianto, Flo. You took your time." Gwen said as Rhys got onto the truck and pulled her on and Ianto began to speed the truck away.

...

"Where the hell are you taking us, Ianto?" Rhys asked as we drove towards a quarry and pulled up.

"What are we doing?" Gwen asked as Ianto clicked some buttons and the forklift began to extend it's arm over the edge.

"You'll see in a moment." Ianto said. "Get the car started! We've only got a few minutes. Come on!" The three of us hopped off the truck and ran for the car. I looked back in shock as I watched as the concrete cell fall over the end of the quarry and Ianto jumpe off, running towards us.

...

We all jumped out of the car at the bottom of the quarry to find the cell smashed up and in it's place a naked Jack, covered in dust. I walked towards him, tears pouring down my face with relief.

"Told you I'd be back." Jack said to us.

"With a little help from us." Ianto pointed out.

"What the hell is going on?" Jack asked as Gwen held out a hand to Rhys, who handed her his jacket.

"Dunno yet, but the latest from the kids is that it's happening tomorrow." Gwen said.

"I'm just in time, then."

I grabbed Rhys' jacket and ran towards Jack, hugging him and handing him the jacket.

"Get in the car." I laughed as Jack threw the jacket over his shoulder. "Come on, we've got work to do." He winked at me and walked past all of us, heading for the car.

Well then. Another end of the world situation. Nothing changes.
