Time Doesn't Always Run Straight
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Part 4
So last chapter of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's slightly longer than the rest, hopefully a good thing. Just want to say a massive thank you to sd4ianto for you reviews. They made a bad day manageable and really help encourage me to write. Also big thank you to everyone reading. According to the stats almost 100 people are reading each chapter. Pretty awesome of you guys. Some violence, character death (Jack so hopefully no need for tears). Next up is an interlude and then Sleeper. Hope you enjoy.
John smirks as he closes the container. He knows he should feel guilty for poisoning Gwen but her prattling had really been getting on his nerves.
He laughs at her thinking that he didn't know what she had been playing at. Although he had been surprised that Jack hadn't paired up with him. He suspected Jestine was behind it.
Jestine was puzzling him. He had known her for a few years at the Time Agency but he still barely knew anything about her. Not that anyone at the Time Agency were open about their past, but Jestine was even more guarded than the others. Now he had ran into her and Jack, a Jack who didn't remember her. A part of him had been happy that Jack remembered him and not Jestine.
John decides that it doesn't matter, he had his reasons for being here, so did Jestine. There was no point worrying about it as there wasn't any way she was sharing.
He did find it interesting that she had kept everything from the team. Gwen had made it pretty clear that they knew even less than he did. At least that women did have some use, John grins as he tosses the canister from hand to hand.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Jack mutters as Jestine disappears up the stairs.
"Sometimes it's easier to just go along with it." Ianto tells him.
Jack was annoyed as he thumped the button, he had told Jestine to stay in their sight but she had immediately bounded up the stairs for the second last floor, leaving Jack and Ianto the top floor and roof.
"I'm sure she won't cause too much trouble." Ianto tries to reassure Jack as they enter the lift.
"You don't know what the Time Agency was like, the people they recruited." Jack replies. "She is dangerous, even if she was disarmed." Unfortunately Jack had to let Jestine keep her weapons. While she was a risk, John was more so and they didn't know when they might just need Jestine to be armed. He had tried to get her to leave her sword behind but it quickly became apparent that she wouldn't part from it.
Jack bounces on the balls of his feet as the lift slowly ascends. Ianto stands in silence.
"I appreciate it." Jack starts, not sure how to say what he means. "That you didn't try to push me into telling you."
Ianto smiles. Neither of them were really good at expressing their emotions but he did understand Jack and that when he was ready he would talk, if he ever was.
"Nothing to thank me for. It's your choice if you want to talk." Ianto turns so he is looking Jack in the eyes. "Just so you know I am here if you do want to talk."
Jack gives Ianto a smile, not his flirty grin that he gave the world but something smaller, tenderer. "I will, not yet but one day."
Ianto nods in reply. It wasn't much of a promise but it was enough for him.
"We should split up. We have the top floor and the roof." Ianto suggest as the lift stops.
Jack nods, although he would like to stay with the Welshman, the sooner he found the canister, the sooner John would be gone.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
"So much for that early night Jestine promised." Owen mutters as he and Tosh enter an old warehouse.
"She normally makes sure we get home a decent time so I guess we can't complain when something comes up." Tosh replies.
Owen grunts in response. "Now Jack's back she will probably be gone."
"Do you think so? She was helpful." Tosh had like having Jestine in the team. Sure she was a little strange but she had really helped them and she seemed to be trying to understand them.
"I don't think it matters. She knows Jack but he doesn't know her, he doesn't like it at all." Owen replies as he tries the light switch. Nothing happens. "No, 'cause that would only be helpful. How are we gonna find a canister in all this mess?" Owen glares at the rather large and full warehouse.
Tosh sighs, knowing it's going to be a long night.
"Maybe Jack should keep Jestine around, just to annoy Gwen." Owen jokes.
Tosh gives him a pointed look. "It's not a joke. Gwen really upset Jestine about her parents."
"Yeah, that was strange. I was starting to think she didn't have emotions." Owen grins at Tosh.
She playfully slaps him. "Stop it. If you aren't going to be nice at least look for the canister."
Owen gives her a mock salute before looking around.
"You beauty." Owen calls after a few minutes of silence. He has found it on a shelf and is dragging a chair over to the shelf.
"Good work, team!" John smirks as he walks into the warehouse.
"Where's Gwen?" Tosh asks, although she doesn't think she will like the answer. John ignores her.
She reaches for her gun but John head-butt and pushes her down to the side before she can. He quickly grabs her gun and points it to Owen who is climbing down off the chair.
"Gun on the floor-" He orders as he slowly turns the gun on Tosh who is on the floor. Owen feels his stomach drop. "- or I shoot her."
Owen doesn't hesitate to drop his gun.
"Phones.." John holds out his hand.
"You touch her again, and I will kill you. Okay?" Owen threatens as both he and Tosh slide their phones towards John.
John grins as he takes a few steps forward and picks up a cricket bat from a nearby shelf.
"The efficiency of a gun, or the brutality of wood?" Owen gets a chill at John's threat. Unlike his own moments before, John was capable of carrying his out.
"Yeah, look, stop toying with me and get on with it." He can only help the others are having a better time of it.
John grins as he shoots.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Jestine looks up as she hears the lift move up the shaft.
She frowns. There shouldn't be anyone coming to the building this time of night and Jack and Ianto were on the floors above her so wouldn't be taking the lift up. She quickly makes for the stairs.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Ianto runs across to the SUV, his mind racing on what John had told him. He knew he should have gone to see Jack and Jestine but knew they could handle themselves, where the others needed him now. He could only hope that John didn't hurt them.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Jestine shrinks into the shadows as John heads towards the stairs. There was no other way for him to get to the roof. Jestine just hopes he doesn't see her.
Jestine lets out a sigh as he passes without comment. She follows after a few moments.
Jack's phone goes off and he pulls out his phone.
"Cute boy, ringing to warn you about me." John emerges from the stairs without Jack having noticed.
"If you've harmed them in any way…" Jack growls.
"You know, they're pretty, but stupid. You used to have better taste." John taunts.
"Doesn't look like that from here." Jack retorts.
"Leave him alone. I have what you want." Jestine calls from behind John. She had managed to slip up when Jack and John were swapping insults. She had quickly spied the canister at the opposite side to where Jack had been looking. She now held it up for John to see.
"Little embarrassing that you needed help to find them." She taunts him.
"A little humiliating you fell for the scam. Your dolly birds did all my legwork." John taunts back.
Jestine scoffs. "Is this what you wanted?"
John shakes his head. "What I want is for you two to come to your sense. Join me. Back in the old routine, we'd be emperors. How can you stay tied to one planet when there's thousands of worlds, sparkling with wonder. We should be up there, among the stars, claiming them for our own. Just like before."
"I can't." Jestine shakes her head.
"Why not?" John asks. "What the hell is there to keep you here?" He suddenly smirks. "Because you care. You care about that stupid team."
"No. I've moved on, so should you." Jestine denies his claims.
"Don't lie. I can see. You might not have meant to have come here but you certainly have no plans to leave."
Jestine looks at him. "I have to leave."
John smirks. "Bet you won't."
"I don't have a choice." Jestine replies, slightly dejected.
"And why is that." John asks.
Jestine shakes her head. "You know I won't tell you."
"I could shoot you." John raises the gun to aim for her head. Jack knows better than go for his gun. Jestine would be shot before he even got it out of the holster.
"You could but that wouldn't give you any answers." Jestine smirks.
"How about I shoot your precious teammates. Oh wait, I already did." John returns the smirk. Jack gives a gasp.
Jestine's eyes widen. "What did you do?"
"See there you go again, caring about them, leaving yourself vulnerable." John continues to taunt her.
"What did you do?" Jestine demands.
"Calm down, they won't die. Well Gwen might if they don't find her in time. But you wouldn't mind would you." John grins.
Jestine grits her teeth. "Yes I would because regardless of my personal feelings for her, I do not wish her to be harmed. Unlike you I don't wish everyone dead."
"They don't trust you. They don't know you but they already know better than to trust you."
Jestine rubs her neck in frustration. "It doesn't matter. I trust them."
"You don't not really. You trust them with your life but not your secrets." John smirks. "That's why you don't want me here, isn't it?"
Jestine groans with frustration. "You don't understand."
Jack stands helplessly, unable to do anything but listen to the conversation.
John smirks again. "Maybe I should tell them."
"You won't." Jestine simply states.
"Why not? You are helpless, worried about your teammates. You can't threaten me." John taunts.
"Because I have what you want." She motions to the canister again.
"Just give it to me." John aims the gun at her heart.
"Come and get it." Jestine taunts.
Jack pushes into John just as the gun goes off. He hopes it's enough to knock it off but doesn't have time to see. John automatically pushes Jack off him. Unfortunately the push causes Jack to stumble back into the raised edge of the building.
Jack can feel himself falling back and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him falling off the edge.
Jestine curses as she rushes to the edge, clutching her upper right arm, but it's too late to do anything but watch Jack plummet to the ground.
Jestine turns back to face John, blood seeping through her hand. His eyes are wide in shock, his face pale.
"I swear I didn't mean to." John backs away, unsure of what Jestine is about to do. Even injured she was dangerous.
Jestine takes a deep breath to stabilise herself. Thanks to Jack the shot hadn't been lethal but it had gone through her upper arm. She rolls the canister over to John with as much strength as she can. "Here have it. I know you have the other two. Just go, I don't care where, just leave. Leave and never come back." Her voice is as cold and hard as ice.
John shivers as he nods. He quickly scuttles away, not wanting to be around Jestine too long in case she changes her mind.
Jestine sighs as she pulls out her phone. "I hope you are doing better." She shakily tells the person on the other end.
"What do you mean by better?" Ianto asks as he pulls up to the warehouse that Owen and Tosh had been sent to check. He immediately picks up on the tremor in her voice.
"John accidently pushed Jack off the building." Jestine explains as she waits for the elevator on the top floor, she doubted she could make it down to the bottom in her condition.
Ianto feels sick at Jestine's explanation. "How do you accidently push someone off a building?" Ianto realises it doesn't matter but he can't help himself.
Jestine sighs again. "John shot me. Jack tried to stop him, he accidently pushed him and he fell. I'm sorry, I couldn't stop it."
Ianto feels faint. "Are you ok, where did he shot you? What about Jack? Where is John? Do you need me to come get you?" He blurts out question after question, his mind racing.
"Calm down. Just a graze." Jestine tells Ianto, but she can't avoid the grimace as she takes her hand away from the wound. "You need to go to Gwen, she's in danger, I think he poisoned her. You can't do anything for me and Jack, just help her."
Ianto rubs his face in frustration. He knew he had to help the team, especially Gwen but he wanted to be with Jack. He knew how much the man hated coming back from the dead alone. Plus there was Jestine, how could he explain to her about Jack.
"Stay where you are, help the team. I'll stay with Jack." Jestine mutters as she ties some material around her arm in hope of stopping some of the bleeding.
"Ianto!" Tosh calls out, having heard a car pull out and distant voices.
Ianto nods to Jestine, even though she can't see him. "I'll, I'll help the others." He reluctantly ends the calls. Right now the team needed him, he just hopes Jestine would be ok and didn't get too freaked out about Jack.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Jack gasps back into life, limbs falling. For a moment all he can sense is fog, clogging his mind.
"Hey, it's ok. Just keep calm." A strange voice breaks through the fog. Jack curses as the fog lifts and he realises it is Jestine.
"I, I can explain." Jack fumbles with his words, his mind still trying to process the last things he remembered.
Jestine shakes her head. "It's ok, I know. But now we have a problem. Either you have to stay out of sight so John doesn't know about you or you let him know you can't stay dead."
"Where is John?" Jack looks around.
"I made him leave. I knew we needed time to come up with a strategy. Ianto is helping the others. But we need to go back to the Hub." Jestine sighs. "He took your Vortex manipulator."
Jack curses as he sits up. "But why would he want to go back there?"
Jestine grimaces as she shrugs her shoulder. She curses softly. Jack startles, just realising her injury. "How bad?" He asks as he takes in her bloody arm.
"Not good but better than it could have been." Jestine hisses. "Thanks by the way."
"You need to get that looked at." Jack is worried about the paleness of her skin, the dark red seeping through the wound.
Jestine grits her teeth. "I'm fine, not the first and probably not the last time. But we need to get back to the Hub before John does something serious.
Jack nods as he struggles to get up.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Ianto nervously dials Jestine's number.
"Yeah?" Jestine answers, her voice sounding strained.
"We've just got Gwen. You were right. He poisoned her with lip gloss." Ianto replies as the team heads to the SUV. "Wait, how are you going to get to the Hub?" Ianto feels guilty as he realises he had taken Jack's and Jestine's only means of transport.
"Teleportation." Jestine mutters. "Going to hurt with two and my arm but we don't have any other way."
"We could swing by and get you?" Ianto suggest as he hops in the car.
Jestine sighs. "It would take longer."
"Do it." Ianto can here Jack faintly. "There's no way you are going to be able to handle teleportation with your arm."
Jestine sighs. "I hate to admit it but he's right. Just try and be quick. Who knows what John is up to." Jestine scans, they would only have a little bit of time before the area was bustling with people.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
"God, what did you do to your arm?" Owen asks as Jack helps Jestine into the car.
"What did you do to your leg?" Jestine retorts weakly. While the bleeding seemed to have stop, Jestine was pale and weak.
"Was it clean through?" Owen ignores his own wound as he goes into doctor mode.
"No idea, had more pressing things to concentrate on." Jestine replies. She grimaces as she tenses and un-tenses her arm.
"Why the hell would you do that?" Owen scolds her.
"No, still in there, not straight line in, only about a third of the way through' Jestine replies.
"There are better ways for you to work it out." Owen huffs in exasperation.
"Where's the fun in that." Jestine gives a weak smile. "Why aren't we going, we don't have much time."
"Is she stable enough for us to leave?" Ianto asks his worry obvious. The team could see the dark patch where Jestine had bleed onto the footpath.
"She's not about to die if that's what you mean. She's as stable as I can get her for the moment. That bullet needs to come out but I'll rather do that in a sterile environment." Owen replies as he takes her blood pressure.
Ianto nods, waits a moment for Owen to get his seat belt on and steps on the accelerator.
"Why is John heading to the Hub? He has the three parts. And he thinks he has killed Jack, so he should want out as soon as possible, before we can get him." Jestine mutters.
"Don't worry about that, you just keep pressure on the wound." Owen tells her.
"It is fine, had worse." Jestine replies shakily.
"Is she going to be ok?" Tosh asks worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine but we need to work out what John is up to." Jestine slurs as she closes her eyes.
"Oh no you don't. Keep your eyes open." Owen shakes Jestine.
"I'm right, can't have lost much." Jestine huffs in reply.
"Not much but enough, especially if you're anaemic." Owen gives her a stern look. "If I tested you I could guarantee that you are low in iron. You need to be eating more. When did you last eat?"
Jestine shrugs. "Not long, a couple of days ago probably."
Owen splutters. "You do not make things easy."
"Do we need to drop her at a hospital?" Ianto asks tensely.
"No, we need to get John. Stop fussing." Jestine orders, but her voice lacks power.
"As infuriating as she is I agree." Owen adds. "We need to stop John. She isn't in major danger as long as she doesn't go storming in."
"But that's the best part." Jestine almost manages a smirk.
"When we get there I want Tosh, Ianto and Gwen going in first. I'll then go in, Jestine and Owen, you head straight to the medical bay." Jack informs them of the plan. "Neither of you are to in no way engage with John. You're priority is getting that bullet out of Jestine and patching her up."
Jestine glares at Jack but doesn't argue.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
John turns around as he hears the approach of five people.
He is faced with the team with their guns out, although Jestine is shaking. "So much for that plan." She mutters.
"Don't think I'm happy about this, the second he is out of there I am getting that bullet out." Owen glares at her.
"Oh-kay." John looks at the team with the pyramid piece still in his hand but no longer beeping.
"Pretty and resilient. Is that even fair?" John smirks at them but he can see Jestine is struggling.
"Maybe you didn't realise. You can beat, shot, threaten, and even poison us, and we keep coming back. Stronger each time." Gwen glares at John. Jestine rolls her eyes at the speech.
"Well, I think you ought to know, your boss is splayed out on the ..." John starts off with a smirk, a smirk that quickly disappears as Jack steps out from behind the team.
"... pavement. Now that's impressive. Seriously, you can earn a fortune in the Vegas galaxies with an act like that. Go on, how's it work?"
"I can't die." Jack answers.
John doesn't believe Jack. "No. But really.."
Jestine rolls her eyes. "He can't stay dead, believe it or not but I have a bullet in my arm that needs out and you need to tell us what is really in the canisters."
John glances at Jestine, worry clear. "I didn't mean to." He tries to apologise.
Jestine waves him off with her left hand. "I don't care at the moment. Just tell us what is in the canisters."
John sighs, resigned to telling the truth. "That woman I told you about? Had herself an Arcadian diamond. Just when I'd got my hands on her, she only generates her own personal riftstorm. God, I hate technological geniuses."
"You hate anyone who is smarter than you. Which is pretty much everyone." Jestine teases but the team can see her becoming paler with each passing minute.
John glares at her. "So, I'm thinking 50/50? Even split, good deal. Or if anyone fancies an orgy?"
"Owen get Jestine treated. John, my office now!" Jack orders.
John reluctantly follows Jack.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
Jestine is just reaching for Jack's office door when it burst open.
John tries pushing past holding Gwen but Jestine resists.
"What's going on?" Owen calls as he runs up from the medical bay.
Jestine kicks John who lets go of Gwen as he recoils from pain. But before Jestine can move out of his range, he pushes into her right arm, causing her to call out in pain. In that moment he grabs hold of her, using her as a hostage in place of Gwen.
"That bitch. There was no diamond. Only a bomb." John indicates to his chest where a metal pyramid has clamped onto his chest with a red light flashing in the middle.
"So who wants to help now? If you don't she blows up with me." John smirks as he clamps a pair of handcuffs on his and Jestine's wrist.
"And half the city." Jestine glares at John, every movement of his aggravating her wound, he had handcuffed her right arm.
"Would shooting him stop the DNA trigger?" Owen asks hopefully.
"No." Jack replies as he tries to think of a solution.
"How long?" Jestine asks.
"Eight forty." Ianto replies.
Jestine starts cursing in some language none of the team understands.
"Hurry up team. Times ticking." John mocks.
"I swear if this doesn't kill you, I will." Jestine threatens.
"If they were in the Rift when it explodes, would the city be safe?" Gwen asks uncertainly.
Jestine grins at her. "Brilliant, Tosh please tell me there is a spike due in the next few minutes."
"Wait how does that save us?" John looks around in a panic as Tosh quickly types.
"The city will be safe," is Jestine's reply.
"You can't." Jack protests.
"Two versus the entire city. No other way." Jestine looks to Tosh.
"The car park where he arrived. The crack in the rift is still active up there." Tosh replies uncertainly.
"Right, well off we go then." Jestine drags John along, winching in pain. Tosh, Gwen and Ianto follow.
Jack makes to follow but Owen pulls him to the autopsy bay instead.
Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood-Torchwood
"You're sure about this?" Ianto asks as they pull up at the car park.
"No." John protest.
Jestine pushes him out. "No other choice."
"You aren't really going to sacrifice yourself." John tries to stay calm but he is starting to believe Jestine is serious.
"How long?" Jestine asks Ianto.
"Fifty seconds."
"Right need to go." Jestine continues to drag John along.
"What no last minute rescue? What's the point of being on a team if you don't get a last minute rescue?" John grumbles.
"Jestine, I.." Gwen doesn't know what to say. It should have been her handcuffed to John.
Jestine gives Gwen a small smile. "Good luck with the wedding planning."
"Forty seconds." Ianto announces.
Suddenly the team can hear a screeching of wheels. Jack and Owen pull up, both jumping out.
"Thirty seconds." Ianto announces as Jack runs to Jestine and John with a syringe.
"Er, what's he doing?" John asks but Jack tackles them both before he can answer. Jack's momentum slams them backwards to the concrete. Jack stabs John in the chest with the needle, injecting the blood mixture.
John struggles to get Jack off but he manages to empty the syringe before he backs off. He waits for a reaction.
"Owen, it's not working." Jack calls in panic.
"Fifteen seconds!" Ianto calls out.
"What are you doing?" Jestine gasps, her wound bleeding again.
"Trying to confuse the disc." Owen replies, his voice filled with worry.
"Why isn't it working?" Jack panics.
"I don't know." Owen replies just as panicked.
"Twelve seconds." Ianto continues counting down, not knowing what else to do.
Jestine looks regrettably at the team before yanking John back up, grimacing in pain.
"Nice try." She gives them a weak smile.
Just as she's dragging him to the rift there is a Click-Click.
The team stares for a second as the disc falls off.
"Five..four." Ianto continues to count down.
Jack grabs the disc and throws it as hard as he can into the rift. Owen grabs Tosh, pushing her to safety.
"Three.."
"Run." Jack doesn't need to worry about telling any of them, Gwen and Ianto run behind the cars. Jestine drags John as Jack runs.
"Two..One.." The disc enters the rift."
Owen, Tosh, Gwen and Ianto take cover behind the cars. The explosion hurls Jack, Jestine and John to the ground.
The team shakily stand to their feet, gazing around. When it had been early morning moments before it was now night.
"Jack, what's going on? Why's it gone dark?" Gwen asks uncertainly.
"The rift's reverted to the moment he came through." Jestine replies through gritted teeth, stumbling slightly as she gets up. "Everything's jumped back to the beginning of the night."
"Like you were never here." Gwen mutters astonished as the team join Jack, Jestine and John.
"Now we've got to avoid ourselves, great!" Jack mutters. He was glad though; there were much worse outcomes that could have occurred.
"The syringe?" Jestine asks as Jack steadies her.
"Torchwood DNA." Owen explains, proud of his last minute improvisation.
John screws up his face in disgust. "You mean there's a bit of all of you inside of me? Sweet goddesses, that's all I need."
"Cheers." Jestine nods towards Owen.
"I want you gone." Jack glares at John.
"As soon as he coughs up the key. And I do mean literally in this case." Jestine attempts a smirk but ends up more of a grimace when John shifts.
"You spoil all my fun." John sulks as he retrieves the key, coughing slightly. "Old Artesian trick." John tells the rest of the team. "Keep it in the lining of the throat. Has a lot of uses."
Jestine ignores him while he unlocks the handcuffs. "No hard feelings." John suggests, before Jestine slugs him in the face. He feels his jaw; grateful it was her left not right that had punched him.
"Yeah, no hard feelings." Jestine grins before pulling him in for a kiss.
"Remind me to never get on her bad side." Owen mutters as they pull apart.
"I am sorry about your arm." John looks sincere.
Jestine gives him a small sad smile. "I sorry too." Jack gets the feeling she isn't talking about the events of the evening.
Jack clears his throat as he holds out his hand to John. After a moment sizing each other up John reaches into his jacket pocket and gives Jack his wristband back.
"Definitely bigger." Jack smirks as he secures it back on his wrist.
"If you need a new team member…" John offers.
"No." Jack answers. "Go now, and you can harness the residual rift energy."
"Listen.."
"Goodbye." Jack interrupts whatever John was going to say. John shrugs and grabs Jack, kissing him. Ianto glares as Jack pushes him away. John just shrugs and heads for the rift.
He presses a button on his wrist band and the light of the rift appears. As the light engulfs him he calls out.. "Oh, by the way.." He smirks. "I meant to tell you. I found Gray."
Jack is devastated while Ianto, Tosh, Owen and Gwen are confused. Jestine looks thunderous. John watches their reaction for a moment before turning and disappearing into the gold light.
"I swear the next time I see him I will kill him." Jestine mutters.
"Who's Gray?" Gwen asks, looking between Jack and Jestine.
Jack just ignores her, looking at Jestine. She sighs as she looks at him.
"John's gone so I suppose you want me gone to." She takes a step back towards the exit, winching at her injuries.
"You aren't going anywhere before I check those injuries." Owen interrupts Jack.
"I'm fine, had worse." Jestine tries to argue.
"I don't care. As your doctor I'm not letting you run around with a gunshot wound. And what are probably broken ribs. Not to mention you are eating a decent meal." Owen glares at her.
Jestine grudgingly allows Owen to steer her towards the SUV.
Thank you so much for reading. Please let me know what you thought. Interlude next and then Sleeper.
