PARENTHOOD
Chapter Forty Three The Doctor sat on the lounge while the triplets swam in the pool and Rain was lying on the lounge to his left. The Doctor watched the sunlight shimmering off her dark skin as she read her book and slightly smiled at him. He jumped when his cell phone vibrated against his leg and he reached into his pocket, taking the cell phone out. "We're sorry but the Doctor is not available at the moment. Please..." the Doctor said. "Doctor, this is Ianto. We need your help. Jack's been killed and..." Ianto half shouted in his ear and the Doctor pulled the cell phone from his ear. "Ianto, Jack has been killed before." "Doctor, no disrespect but please shut up," Ianto said and the Doctor frowned. "Well, if you're going to be rude, I'm going to hang up." "Sorry, sorry but we really need your help." "Oh, alright, what's wrong?" the Doctor sighed and rubbed his eyes. "You did get that toxicology report from Frazer, right?" "Yep, I think it was kelnarium." "That's what it was and we think it came from a company called Aquatech." "Never heard of it," the Doctor said as his eight year old son, Chaska, got out of the pool and walked to the lounge, standing next to the Doctor. "Oi, you're dripping on me!" "Who are you talking to, Daddy?" Chaska asked, picking the towel off the back of the lounge and drying his arms off. "I'm talking with Uncle Ianto, Drippy!" "Hi Uncle Ianto!" Chaska shouted and the Doctor heard Ianto laugh. "He says hello. Now, go!" the Doctor said, waving his fingers at Chaska and Chaska laughed then walked away. "Right, so how did Jack end up dead?" "Jack's dead?" Rain asked. "Looks like," the Doctor said, shrugging. "We went to Aquatech and got ambushed," Ianto said and the Doctor heard the worry in his voice. "And knowing Jack, he said something to make them shoot him." "No, the head of Aquatech told them to kill us." "Oh, that isn't nice. Ok, I'll be there in a few minutes. Where are you?" the Doctor asked and Ianto told him where they were. Ending the call, the Doctor clicked the cell phone closed then got up and kissed Rain's lips. "Be right back." "Be careful," she said as he nodded then walked toward the garage and the soft sound of the TARDIS dematerializing filled the air. Aquatech Angus looked out the window while he watched the men filling the large tanker trucks when he turned around and looked at Jack, who was tied to a chair in front of the desk. Angus was surprised to find Jack walking through the hallways only a few minutes after getting shot and took out three security guards before getting shot again. Angus had them bring Jack to his office and tied him to a chair before he woke up. "So, mind telling me what's going on?" Jack asked as he tried to get free then sighed, tilting his head to one side. "You first," Angus said as he walked closer and placed his hands on either side of Jack's shoulders, holding onto the back of the chair. "Don't know what you're talking about," Jack said, smiling. "You have been shot twice at point blank range yet you're still breathing." "Oh, well, that's a trade secret," Jack said when Angus growled, stood up and smacked Jack hard enough in the face that Jack's head snapped to one side. "Jack?" Ianto thought after feeling Jack's pain in his mind and Jack sighed, feeling the blood rolling out of his nose. "I'm ok," Jack thought as he looked at Angus and Angus growled. "Look, just tell me what you want with the kelnarium and we'll call it even," Jack said as Angus slammed his hands on the back of the chair and growled at him. "What are you?" he demanded and Jack smiled. "It depends on who's asking. I'm a captain or a conman or a liar or a lover or..." "Shut up!" Angus shouted when a soft wheezing sound filled the air and he stood up, watching the TARDIS materializing near the door to his office. "What?" "Oh, you are in for it now," Jack said as he turned his head to see what he was looking at and smiled. The doors slammed open as the Doctor walked outside and folded his arms over his chest. "What kept you?" "I had to go get some help," the Doctor said as Doc, Theta and Cameron joined him and Cameron leaned on the doorway, looking at the ropes that tied Jack to the chair. Living in a mirror world after Theta's Master sealed him inside allowed Cameron to gain telekinetic powers and he wiggled his fingers. The ropes moved then untied themselves as Jack rubbed his sore wrists and the Doctor walked to the chair, placing his hand on the top of the chair. "Who are you?" Angus asked. "I'm the Doctor," the Doctor said and Doc and Theta smiled when the Doctor turned, looking at them. "So are they but that's another story." "And I'm Cameron," Cameron said as he walked to the chair and patted the top of Jack's head. "You ok, Cap?" "Yeah, and don't call me that," Jack said and Cameron softly laughed. "Right, I want to know where you got the kelnarium and what you're using it for," the Doctor said as his eyes grew dark and Angus backed up, heading for the desk. "Uh uh uh, that's naughty!" Cameron said when Angus locked eyes with him then found out he couldn't move. "I can't move!" he shouted and Cameron smiled. "And you won't unless you play nice and tell the Doctor what he wants to know." "Cam, let him go," the Doctor said and Cameron sighed, nodding his head. Angus backed up toward the desk when he opened the drawer and removed a gun, pointing it at him. "No guns." "Allow me!" Cameron said when the gun flew out of Angus' hand then fell to the floor near Theta's foot and Angus sighed, sitting down on the chair. "I think he's ready to talk," Theta said as he kicked the gun across the room and Angus nodded. The Doctor walked to the desk when he leaned against it and wiggled his finger at Angus. Standing up then walking to the Doctor, Angus looked at him when the Doctor sat on the desk and folded one leg under the other. Placing his elbows on his thighs, he waited for Angus to tell him what he needed to know and cupped his chin in his hands. Frazer stood near the console as he looked at the screen and frowned at the readings. The weather scans were showing a large storm front heading for the loch but the weather stations were reporting that this wasn't a normal storm pattern and Frazer sighed. Walking to the doors, he walked outside as the wind blew through his hair and the crystals and charms on the chain were glowing. "Frazer?" Angel asked as she walked up behind him and slid her arms around his waist. Looking up at the sky, she watched the dark clouds rolling across the sky and the wind grew colder. "What's going on?" "A storm's coming," he said softly as he watched the people going by and some of them were running for shelter. "Oh, I thought it was something serious," she said with a smile as he turned to her and she looked into his eyes. His eyes were glowing in a golden light as she gently touched his cheek and he was shaking. "I told you that something would happen if she found out," he said as she held him and the wind blew through their hair. "But how did she find out? Did you call for her?" Angel said and he kissed her cheek. "No, I didnae call her. That beastie in the loch did before it died," Frazer sighed and lightning flashed across the sky. A hard rain started falling as the wind howled and Gwen walked into the doorway and looked at them. "What's going on," she asked and he looked at her. "Someone's coming," he said and Gwen frowned. "Who are you talking about?" Gwen asked as he looked up at the darkening sky and sighed. "My godmother's coming," he said as the lightning flashed across the sky and thunder echoed in the wind. "And she's pissed off."
