Chapter 3
In his office Jack is reading through the information Mickey had given him moments ago when Rhys walks into the room.
"What can I do for you Rhys?"
"Can we talk?"
"What's up?"
"I know that I can never stop her being part of Torchwood, I understand that, and I hope you understand that if anything happens to her, I will hunt you down"
"And what, kill me?"
"That's the beauty of your situation, when you wake up, I could kill you all over again"
"I believe Owen said that to me once"
"You can be a dick sometimes"
"Yes thank you Rhys, could you go fetch Mickey and Martha, I wanna talk to 'em"
"Sure, nice chatting with you Jack"
"You too"
Rhys then leaves the room and a few minutes later Mickey and Martha come in and sit opposite him.
"What is it Jack?" asks Martha.
"I wanted to see how the both of you are"
"You don't do social, what is it?"
"What happened when you last saw him?"
"He saved us from a Sontaran, he didn't say anything, just hit the thing in its Probic Vent, looked at us and went back to the TARDIS".
"We think he might have changed after that, you know regeneration, why, what happened when you last saw him?"
"I was in this Space Bar when the bartender handed me a note from another patron, it said: His name is Alonso. So I looked up and there he was, didn't say anything just nodded to the guys who took up a stool to my left, I saluted him and then he walked away".
"Have you heard from him?" asked Mickey
"No, but I sure would've liked to, could've done with his help in recent events. Anyway, Martha, how's the family?"
"They're good, they send their love and thanks, for the help with Tish's wedding"
"No problem, tell 'em I say hi"
"Will do"
"JACK GET DOWN HERE" shouted Gwen.
Jack then looked at Mickey and Martha before he led them out of the office and down to Gwen's station.
"What is it?"
"I've just been looking at the software when I picked up a signal, there's a ship 10000 miles above the planet and it just transported something down here"
"Mickey hack the satellites, I want eyes on that ship. Gwen, where did they land?"
"In the city, an abandoned warehouse down near the docks"
"Alright, Mickey, any luck?"
"Hold on a minute, I'm just hacking into UNIT, and ... there, I see the ship"
Jack then looks at the screen and doesn't recognise the ship, but Martha does.
"It's Sontarans"
"Martha, are you sure?"
"Yes, I had a run in with them 3 years ago, they made a clone of me"
"Okay, Rhys, Mickey go get the car's ready and take the laptop with you, Martha, Gwen, with me, we're gonna go grab some stuff that will be effective on these things".
Fifteen minutes later they all left to go to the docks.
