I should be getting home Sir,” Jack said, gulping down the last of his drink. “Megan will be wondering where I've got to.”


How's the little'n doing, Victoria isn't it?” The Colonel enquired.


She's just the most beautiful baby in the universe,” Jack grinned proudly.


Aren't they all,” the Colonel grinned. “where did you come up with the name?”


My wife is into history, she loves the old names, and not just from our solar system,” Jack told him. “I believe she chose it from a book on SOL 3, or Earth as it's otherwise know.”


It's a good choice,” the Colonel nodded as a voice came down his comm.


Jack listened to the one sided conversation.


Calm down man, just tell me what's happened?”


But how the hell did they get here?”


That ship was a decoy?”


Jack could see his superiors face growing redder and redder in anger as the conversation went on.


How many?”


And they're swarming through the city?”


Get everyone back in now, we have to stop them!”


What is it, what's happened?” Jack asked the second the Colonel cut the call.


Those aliens, like the one in the space craft you and your men took down earlier, they're here in this city,” the Colonel replied, getting hastily to his feet and grabbing his jacket. “there have been reports of them rampaging through, killing indiscriminately.”


Civilians?” Jack asked, trying to keep the panic out of his voice.


I'm afraid so, yes,” his superior replied. “it seems they landed in what appear to be transporter vessels on the far side of the city while we were dealing with their decoy.”


But why?” Jack frowned.


According to Johnson they're a race called the 'T'rrark',” the Colonel filled him in while they rushed from the bar. “they live to destroy and conquer and only death will stop them.”


Where are they?” Jack asked, concern for his family unable to stop his panic any longer. “Where in the city?”


Lower south side,” the Colonel replied quietly.


Why the hell didn't you tell me this before?” Jack growled, pulling his gun from it's holster and checking it's status.”


You can't go there alone Jack, wait and take a team with you,” his superior pleaded. “you could be killed.”


My family could be dead before I get there,” Jack snapped back. “I'm going to save my family and don't even think of trying to stop me.”


I won't, I'll send help, I promise,” the colonel told him, giving Jack a pat on the arm before Jack ran for his transport and sped towards home.


*~*~*


The sounds coming from Jack woke his husband from the doze he had fallen into, the book on his lap fell to the floor as he leapt up from the recliner and moved to Jack's side.


Ianto, what's wrong, Jack's vitals are rising rapidly,” Chloe's voice came down the comm to his ear.


I guess the nightmares have started,” Ianto told her, grasping his husbands hand tightly while he tossed and turned on the bed muttering to himself.


His pulse is racing,” Chloe stated. “and his blood pressure is rocketing, I'm going to come down and give him another dose of the sedative, we don't want him coming out of this before it's complete.”


We can't take the risk of him going into a coma, just get it over with,” Ianto told her, fighting to stop Jack taking a tumble off the bed.


Two minutes,” Chloe assured him, cutting the link.


Gotta get there ... Megan ... Victoria ... they can't be ... have to save them ...” Jack babbled, total panic evident in his voice. “can't let them die ... get out the bloody way!”


Shhh, shhh,” Ianto said softly to Jack in an attempt to sooth him. “it's only a bad dream.”


Gotta ... alien bastards ...” Jack ranted. “can't lose them ... is the whole planet in this fucking flight path?”


Mind out the way,” Chloe told Ianto, rushing into the room and grabbing one of the prepared syringes.


Not letting go of his husbands hand, Ianto moved out of Chloe's way, giving her access to Jack's arms and feeling his own sense of relief when she injected into Jack and felt the tension slide from his lovers body a little, enough for his to stop flinging himself around on the bed anyway.


I just want to wake him up and stop all this,” Ianto sighed sadly to Chloe.


It won't help,” Chloe replied, wrapping her arm around her friends waist and watching Jack with him. “he needs to do this, it'll give him closure one way or another over his lost memories.”


I know ... it's just ... I think whatever he's remembering now, it has something to do with the woman and the baby,” Ianto told her. “he mentioned two names, Megan and Victoria, that he had to save them.”


The mother and baby that were killed in his nightmares?” Chloe asked.


They have to be,” Ianto replied. “whatever this reveals, I hope Jack is strong enough to cope with the revelation.”


He's strong Ianto, you too have survived so much during the time I've known you,” Chloe said gently. “and he has you to help him through this too.”


Always,” Ianto said, giving her a weak smile and watching the expressions worriedly on his husbands face.


*~*~*


 

Jack could see smoke filling the sky in the distance, ignoring the speed and high limits he soared higher into the air above the other vehicles and hit the accelerator button hard, jamming his finger on it and hurtled towards home, ignoring the automatic warnings coming from the console about his speed.

It's like being ratcheted up a rollercoaster...now we are at the top, staring down into the abyss....
Waiting for Missthings to plunge us down into the fear and angst..but hopefully to end with some wonderful bends and curves and a smooth stop at the docking bay?
