Bad Wolf Bay. Again.

Chapter 10

“Ah, so you do remember me! I’m surprised you do, you know, you’ve left me behind so many times. Do you really think you can hurt someone time after time again, and then expect them to help you?” Jack stood up and walked over to him. Meanwhile he had regained controls over his muscles and finally raised his head, looking Jack dead in the eye. “Of course I remember,” he said, his voice no more than a whisper. Jack uttered a short, guttural laugh. “Of course you do,” he replied, his voice drenched with sarcasm. “Well, let me tell you a secret.” Jack crouched next to him and his head next to that of the the Doctor; his lips softly brushing the outline of his ear.

“There are cameras and microphone everywhere, so play along. Look shocked.” The Doctor did, which wasn’t much of a challenge. Jack’s voice had suddenly changed from deeply gasping for revenge to a low seductive whisper, which was shocking enough already. “Okay; here’s the plan. I’m going to interrogate you two, and then take you to Dover. I’m the boss now, so no-one will get in our way. I’ll explain everything once we get there, but it’s important that we don’t raise suspicion.” Jack had talked extremely fast to get all that information across in such a short time; he almost forgot to look horrified. “And I’ll do all of that to the girl as well, if you don’t talk. So don’t talk nonsense.” He took that as his cue to indeed talk nonsense, and “convince” Jack that he was too tough to break; he would have no choice but to bring him to Dover . He was worried about Eve nevertheless. He had no idea whether or not she would trust Jack, maybe she’d met him before and he had told her he was one of the good guys, or maybe she still assumed he was part of the corrupted Torchwood. Nothing he could do about it now, however.

Which left him to endure the mental and psychical torture Jack had to put him through, and although he was good at pretending the Doctor could easily see past his façade. It must’ve been terrible for him, having to “enjoy” all the torture yet at the same time convince the rest of his team it wasn’t the best he could do and that he just had to take them to Dover. Nonetheless; it was bearable for the Doctor at least. Or he thought it was, until one of Jack’s team had the idea to torture Eve for him to see. And Jack had to agree, of course, although he was visibly reluctant.

The moment they brought her in, the Doctor lost it. Seeing her like that, covered in blood, bruises and gashes, she looked so much like Rose. Her green eyes covered and her hair bound in a rough ponytail; it made it hurt even more. He closed his eyes tightly but there was nothing he could do to banish her screams. His hands in chains, he just sat there with an averted gaze and cringing every time her voice pierced the air again. After a few hours that felt like days, hearing Jack’s voice was a relief. “Well, it seems like this isn’t working either. I’ll transport them to Dover, we’ve got a bèta version of that simulator Jones has been working on there.” Silence fell, the team seemingly shocked with his decision.

“Permission to speak freely, sir?” “Permission granted,” Jack replied, although his tone implied he wasn’t up for a debate. “Are you sure that’s a good idea, sir? The dummies didn’t make it through any tests,” a quivering voice spoke up. “No, I suppose they didn’t. We’ve got two, don’t we? If one of ‘m has, let’s say, an accident in that simulator, the other will think twice about what he says, am I right Doc?” He nodded silently, involuntarily thinking about the ‘accident’. “That’s decided then. Dover it is.”
