They were in the conference room everyone seated in their seats, Gwen on Jack's right hand, holding JJ's hand who sat next to her. Ianto on Jack's left hand with Tosh seated next to him, Martha sat opposite Jack.

"But what has that got to do with Ianto's dream and the jasmine that I can still smell by the way?" Martha asked annoyed that Jack was talking nonsense much like the Doctor does.

"Let me continue" Jack said calmly. "The house would stink of them because they constantly used telepathy, especially telepathic dreams"

JJ nodded. "Alex Rose used to call for me in her sleep, normally during a nightmare or a vision"

"I still don't get it" Martha said shaking her head. "How does this have anything to do with sme-?"

"JJ could you please give us an example" Jack interrupted Martha.

JJ nodded and took a deep breath, his eyes were closed and his eyebrows pinched in concentration, suddenly the conference room melted away into a beautiful sunny beach, Martha could feel the sand beneath her bare feet, smell the salty sea water and hear birds from a distance.

Everyone looked round in awe and then gaped at one another as their clothes had vanished and were replaced by summer clothes. Tosh was in a one piece swimsuit, Gwen in a black bikini with lace ties and Martha in a simple takini, Ianto was in baggy shorts and blue Hawaiian shirt while JJ was in baggy trunks and Jack in a micro Speedo.

"I hope you like your clothes, I chose what I thought suited your personality" JJ said shyly.

"It's great" Gwen said twirling round. "I should let you pick out my swimwear more often"

"Now" Jack said. "Something like this has taken JJ a lot of concentration, still is since he's trying to maintain realistic sound, smell and so on. However Alex Rose she was more talented in telepathy"

"Because of her visions?" Tosh inquired.

"More like because she's Dad's daughter" JJ said. "She got bored often, normally she entertained herself by learning a new language or studying difficult sciences but she practised her telepathic skills. It annoyed her to no end that no matter how well she was at telepathy she could never control her visions, they were too spontaneous"

Jack nodded with a grim look on his face as he remembered all to well how Alex Rose would spontaneously snap into a vision and end up screaming in horror.

"So she walked into Ianto's dream to tell him that she's in trouble?" Martha asked worriedly.

"I don't think she purposely walked into his dream" Gwen said thoughtfully. "From Ianto's account it sounds like she was doing it subconsciously"

"So what does that mean? That she really is starting to remember? That she's coming back" JJ asked his face and voice a perfect mixture of hope and excitement.

"Who knows, we're going to have to find her though. We have no idea where the Doctor stashed her" Jack said gently but despite how gently he said it JJ hope was gone instantly. No one had any idea where Alex Rose was, for all they knew she could be next door to them or in a completely different time zone as well as planet. To change the subject Jack put on a filthy smirk. "I must say ladies you all look gorgeous in your swimsuits"

"Ok, JJ take us out of here before Jack says or does something even more perverted" Gwen said quickly.

Suddenly the beach vanished and the conference room was back, their swimsuits gone and their normal clothes that covered their curves were back much to Jack's fake disappointment as he pouted. The room no longer smelt like disinfectant and Ianto's coffee but of clean sharp soap and Lynx...it smelled like JJ.

"And that's why it smelt like jasmines earlier" Jack said getting up.

"That didn't explain anything!" Martha yelped.

JJ stared up at the stars.

The team had spent the whole day trying to find Alex Rose, unfortunately the longer Ianto was awake the more and more he forgot, he could no longer remember what was said and he could barely make out what she looked like. She had become a blur in his mind. It had made things difficult and every picture and piece of information that was linked to Alex Rose was useless.

JJ hated having false hope. Hated having to wait it out, hated watching the window while hoping Alex Rose would be walking up the street towards his flat. Hated looking up every time the Hub doors opened in case it was Alex Rose.

It would be much better if I also lost my memory, he thought to himself bitterly, that way I would feel so helpless and pathetic.

He felt Gwen slide her arms round his waist and resting her chin on his shoulder. "We're going to get her back, I promise" she whispered in his ear, her hot breath almost burning it. "Alex Rose is a fighter; she'll be home in no time"

"Feels like it'll never happen" JJ confessed in a strangled voice. "That I'll never feel her up here in my mind ever again, that I'll be alone and forever lonely without her"

He felt Gwen's tears dribble down his neck but made no comment.

It took Mickey awhile. UNIT was very strict and rule abiding, they had a million protocols and that was just to brush one's teeth, Mickey found it incredibly frustrating as he had to provide not only several forms of identification but DNA for tests to prove he was indeed Mickey Smith, letters of recommendation from Jack and Sarah Jane and get the Doctor to phone UNIT. Finally he had gotten hold of the file he most desired.

Project Seedling.

That was what it was called, a basic cover story, one of the UNIT officers took her home, left her with her ex-husband while the Doctor manipulated their minds and UNIT made a paper trail. UNIT had also paid several people to pretend to know her, be her friend and report to them any problems.

It was a file on how Alex Rose had become Carly Wicks and it helped him to find the young girl. So he can protect her from afar like he promised Rose.

As he left with a copy of the file, a worker stopped him. "Found what you wanted?" he nodded, not in the mood for a conversation. "Project Seedling? You're not the first to want that, some government sector wanted it...hmm...who was it...Torchwood I think..."

"Captain Jack Harkness?" Mickey guessed.

"Nah not that Torchwood, the other one, the one with the suit wearing pricks who don't even follow protocols because they think they're so much better" the officer snorted. "Jack Harkness and his lot might not follow regulations but at least they're polite"

Mickey froze as a sensation of dread and horrified realisation over took him.

"Not sure why but they were really interested in Project Seedling, made a copy of the file like you did...hey! Wait where are you going?"

Mickey ignored the UNIT worker as he ran as fast as he could down the corridor. Alex Rose was in danger, a lot of people were by the sounds of it Torchwood One might have been resurrected.
