"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."


"Christ" Owen swore loudly as he surveyed the wreckage. The Rift alert had gone off moments after the call about a Weevil sighting. Jack had sent Owen, Tosh and Gwen to deal with the alert while he and Ianto went to collect the Weevil. Tosh hadn't been able to get a fix on what had come through the Rift, there were no life signs reporting, and so far there had been no witnesses. Jack had loaded them in the SUV telling it was probably just space junk and they would be back in time for breakfast. It had already been a painfully long night with the alarm going off every hour it seemed.

As the three Torchwood agents studied the mess it wasn't the space junk they had been hoping for. It was a shallow crater with a small space ship in it. Parts of it were still smoking and various lights were still slowly blinking as the last of the energy ran out. Spaceships weren't entirely new to them, but they'd never had seen one actually crashed into the Earth and Owen knew they wouldn't be back before breakfast. At least it was still dark and the neighbors would be asleep, assuming they hadn't been woken by the noise he guessed it would have made.

"Tosh" he said.

"Already working on it", her fingers danced over the electronic pad she held in her hand. "Aside from losing power quickly, it seems stable enough. The computer doesn't recognize its origin".

"Alright, we'll take it nice and slow until we have a better idea what we're dealing with. It's probably not going to be moving under its own power so we'll need to go back to the Hub and get the trailer" Owen walked around the ship, he estimated it to be about the size of a transport van and thought they would be able to get it back without too much trouble. They could worry about what it was and why it was here when they got it back to the garage. "Hey Tosh?" he waited a minute for a response, "didn't you say there were no life signs?"

"I'm not getting any" she said coming around to join him.

"Then why is there no one sitting in that cockpit?" Both stared at the empty seats on the other side of the broken windshield. Not having any answers Tosh consulted her computer again.

"Hey guys, I might have something", Gwen was crouched down shining her flashlight into some bushes not far from the crater.

"What is it?" Owen asked as they made their way towards Gwen.

"Tosh, I think you need to recheck your system. We have a survivor". The others knelt down shining their lights into the bush. The alien had a wide pale face with wide set eyes. Her hair was nearly white, tucked behind large bat-like ears. She flinched away from the light pulling what she held closer. They could see various cuts on her pale hands and face.

Tosh frowned, working furiously on her pad, "I'm still not getting anything". The alien slowly blinked, her eyelid moving from the outer edge of her eyes inward.

"She is most definitely alive Tosh", Owen said standing.

"Hey there" Gwen said quietly, lowering the beam of light to try to see what the alien held. As if to better protect it, she moved cradling it to her chest, this move allowed Gwen to make out an ear and cheek and she realized it was another alien. "Hey, we're going to help you, but you need to come out" she tried again. Glancing back at the others she told them there was a second alien, and appeared to be dead. Reacting without thinking Gwen reached out her hand to the aliens, "it's okay", the alien pulled her lips back in a terrible grimace baring a row of sharp pointed teeth and hissed at Gwen before lunging at her.

It took a full 30 seconds or Owen and Tosh to realize what was going on, as they stood in shock watching them wrestle, "Gwen!" Tosh drew her gun and Owen pulled out a tranquilizer from his pocket.

"Hold still Gwen!" Owen shouted as Gwen managed to gain the upper hand in the fight and wrestled the alien to her back, straddling her midsection.

"Do something!" She yelled back at Owen. Distracting the alien Owen managed to get the syringe into the alien's leg, but only got part of the contents emptied from it. The alien struggled another minute before passing out. Gasping for breath, Gwen rolled off the alien collapsing to the ground.

"What the hell Gwen!"

"She just… came at me!" Owen gave her a skeptical look and crouched next to the alien. Now that she wasn't moving Owen took a minute to give her a once over. Under the light her skin was so pale it was nearly translucent. Owen could make out lines he assumed to be veins, her torn shirt allowed him to see her side and under the skin he could make out the shadow of a what he guessed was her heart beating. Even as an alien catching doctor, it was still slightly eerie to watch.

"I guess we better dig the other one out" he said, not liking the idea of it. It took them several minutes of examining the bushes before they were able to figure out a way of extracting the second alien. Owen carried its top half under the arms while Gwen took it's abnormally large feet and together they laid it out next to the other. The first alien was smaller and had longer hair; the second was a little wider through the shoulders and torso with a large pot belly that almost seemed to contradict its build. "Ladies, I think we have a pair. Mr. and Mrs. Alien", he introduced with a twinge of sarcasm.

"Is he…" Owen shook his head.

"I think he's just unconscious". The trio studied the aliens; both wore similar tattered clothes which belied the advanced technology of the ship. "We should get them back to the Hub before one of them wakes up. I'll bring the SUV over".

Owen went to get the SUV and they carefully loaded both unconscious aliens into the back. Owen hated to leave Toshiko behind, but someone needed to keep an eye on the ship and Gwen was bleeding from the alien attack.


It took a lot of effort but they moved the aliens into a cell in the vaults, laying them out side by side and then locked them in. Gwen was seated on the autopsy table while Owen bandaged her arm when Jack and Ianto got back, "Told you you'd be back before breakfast" Jack said loudly.

"You fucking asshole! It's a fucking spaceship!" Owen yelled letting go of Gwen's arm. "A whole fucking spaceship came through!"

"Really? A whole spaceship?" Owen could make out the excitement in Jack's blue eyes.

"Yes, a whole spaceship. With aliens, one attacked Gwen. We had to leave Tosh and we'll need the trailer to bring it back here. Next time, I'm going after Weevils".

"Where is Tosh?"

"In the field, with the ship, I wanted to get the aliens back before they woke up".

"They're alive? What are they? Where are they?"

"Yes, who the hell knows what they are, bloody vicious things, we put them in the vaults".

Before Owen could continue Jack turned and hurried to the vaults, Ianto hurried behind followed by Owen and Gwen.

"No!" they heard him yell from the top of the stairs, "no, no, nonono". The rest nearly tripped down the rest of the stairs. Jack had his hand tangled in his own hair as if he might pull it out. They had never seen him look this distraught

"Jack" Ianto said calmly, "What's wrong?"

"They're from Leqqay" he said softly. No one recognized the name. "They came through the Rift in a ship?" he asked Owen. Owen rolled his eyes.

"What did we just talk about Jack?" Jack glared at him and opened the cell door. "Jack!"

"It's okay." He said checking his vortex manipulator.

"Jack," Ianto tried again. "Who are the Leqqay? Do you know them?"

"They…" he paused studying them. "They're extinct by the 51st century". The other agents each looked at one another. "In about 500 years from now, there will be 5 million of them rounded up on Leqqay and they will be exiled to the southern part of the planet. It's a nearly inhabitable salty desert that never sees the full light of their sun; they only ever see the twilight. There are two seasons, humid and dry. In the dry seasons they would become too dried out and their food supplies became scarce. Some managed to escape and they became gypsies of the universe," he shook his head "but without a home, they just died out".

"That's genocide" Gwen said quietly and Jack nodded.

"Leqqay was becoming overcrowded and there was a lot of infighting. Then, much like World War II here, some people came into power with promises of change and they were relocated". Jack knelt beside the man studying his face, "you said there was a ship? Interesting", he said more to himself than to the group. He gently touched his fingers to the man's forehead, "they're drying out; probably from space". As if really noticing the rest of the alien he swore loudly and laid his hand on the man's stomach, before pulling his shirt up. "Ianto, on the 6th floor, there is a tub, a massive square tub about 4 feet deep, fill it with warm water and as much sea salt as you can find!" They all stared at their leader, "NOW!"

Without hesitating again, Ianto took off wondering what in the hell was going on, but knew Jack would tell them eventually, "Owen, you need to check him over and make sure nothing's wrong".

"Jack, what is it?" The other two agents stepped into the cell, and Jack leaned back allowing the light to fall on the alien. Under the translucent skin pulled tight over the man's swollen stomach they could make out the shadowy shape of a baby.

"Shit!" Owen turned and ran upstairs for his scanners and medical equipment in case the electronic ones didn't read their life forms.

"Jack" Ianto's voice came in over the ear comm, "Jack I've found the tub… more like a swimming pool, but I'm going to have to go get salt".

"Just make it quick" Jack responded and then tapped the ear piece connecting to Tosh.

"Are you still at the crash site?"

"Yes, Jack is everything okay? How's Gwen?" Jack glanced at Gwen's arm.

"She'll live, but our aliens may not make it. Can you get into the ship?" Tosh was quiet for several minutes.

"I'll have to climb through the windshield, but I think so".

"Is it stable?"

"Seems to be",

"I need you to go in there and see if there is any information about them, personal items, anything".

"What's wrong?"

"They are extinct aliens and one of them is expecting. I am going to send Gwen out to get you".

"What about the ship?" Jack sighed, they couldn't leave it out there and when he checked his watch he realized morning was coming quickly.

"I'll send Ianto and Owen out when they've finished here; we may have to Retcon some people."

"Won't be the first time" Owen muttered loud enough for Jack to hear. Jack closed the link to Tosh, and watched the medic work. "I think he just has a concussion. I can hear a steady heartbeat, and his breathing seems steady".

"What about the baby?"

Owen moved the stethoscope over it, "it's nice of them to give me a window in, so I can find it" he was quiet a second before pulling it out of his ears and handed it to Jack. Jack carefully stuck the pieces in his ears listening for whatever Owen had wanted him to hear. At first all he could hear was breathing and the blood rushing around his body and frowned. "Listen passed all of that" Owen said, knowing what his boss would be hearing. A slight smile spread across Jack's lips before breaking into a wide grin, hidden behind all the other noise, was the tiny heartbeat of the baby. "I don't think it's moving because it's been through a big shock with the crash, but I'll do my best to monitor them". Owen moved his fingers over the skin, fascinated by the translucency of it. "Were they always like this?"

"I don't think so; we studied them and several other extinct races when I was a kid in school. Being in their environment they adapted. Like cave fish and bats, they have adapted to living in the near dark. Their eyes are bigger, their ears, they feet from living in the sandy desert. The salt content in the ground and air has given them a higher bodily salt content. Never seeing the daylight, their skin has gotten so light they are transparent. They've also adapted into duel carriers" Jack traced the outline of the baby trying not to think it may be the last one ever born.

"What do you mean?"

"The mothers carry it for the first half of gestation, and then the fathers carry it to term".

"It doesn't seem very efficient"

"Doubles the chance that it will survive if something happens to the other parent".

"Jack" Owen pointed to the woman, under her eyelids they could make out her eyes moving, "she's coming to". Jack moved to sit next to her, changing the settings on his manipulator. "What are you doing?"

"Hopefully, if I can get this right, it will translate for us" he moved the collar of the shirt back to show Owen the metal band around their throats. "They are telepaths, but this helps them to communicate with non-telepaths. If this is right," he held up his wrist, "and that's right, we can communicate with them". As if on cue, the woman opened her eyes, fear washing over her face, "it is okay" Jack said softly. "You are safe, your friend is safe" Jack wasn't sure if his manipulator was working, he recalled that they extremely broad hearing ranges and it was possible it had settled one out of his own hearing range. Slowly she sat up holding her head, "you had a pretty nasty crash" he continued. She finally looked up at him, his manipulator and then back to him; he knew she could hear him. "Can you tell us your name? What you are called?"

Owen saw the woman's lips move slightly before an automated voice said "Isarra".

"Good, I am Jack and this is Owen. Who is this?" he asked moving so she could see the other alien. When she saw him she nearly moved Jack out of the way to get to him, kneeling over his face caressing his forehead. Owen had to smile; the move seemed like a universal gesture of care and concern. Jack wondered if she could hear him. She moved her hands over his stomach feeling for the baby. "It's okay. Is this your mate?" after a second she paused and then nodded.

"Kra" she said.

"You are from Leqqay?" She looked up at Jack in terror, as if he might drag them back to their home world. "You are safe" he repeated.

"Escape. Stole ship to save…" she caressed the bump of the baby.

"Space has dried your skin out; we are going to get you to salt water and food. You must be tired", she nodded closing her eyes.

"Days".

"It's been days since you slept?" Jack clarified, he couldn't decide if the translator was only able to translate partial sentences or if she could only communicate in broken sentences. Nothing he had ever studied told how intelligent they were, but he guessed if they could steal a ship and fly it, they weren't stupid. "Will you come with me? We need to know if the water is okay. Kra needs the water so he doesn't dehydrate, then we can help you both".

She studied Jack for several moments before nodding. Jack got up and carefully helped her up. "Owen, stay with him. I'll leave my comm. open". As they made their way down to the lower vaults, Jack was careful to adjust the lighting so they didn't blind their alien. He could feel her shaking underneath his arm that he held around her, he could only imagine how terrified she must be.

When he found the room with the tank, he was surprised to see Ianto had it nearly filled using 4 massive fire hoses. Using the wrist strap he forced the lights to dim and startled Ianto. "Sorry" he apologized when the Welshman glared at him. Jack held her steady when she saw Ianto, "this is Ianto" Jack told her. She held his gaze for a moment before looking towards the tank. The clear liquid bubbled where the hose continued to pump water into the tank; she reached out hesitantly putting her hand in it and then brought it to her mouth. Jack watched with some amusement as she gingerly licked her fingers and her eyes lit up. She moved closer putting both her hands in the water and held them to her lips taking a long drink of it and then ran her wet hands over her face and neck.

"Water. Good" she turned and hurried out of the room running up the stairs they had just come down. Confused Jack followed leaving Ianto to finish his work. Jack caught her in the cell; she looked up at Jack silently pleading, "help", she finally said aloud trying to move her mate.

"Owen,"

"I think a gurney might help" he said getting up to go fetch one.

"We will help" Jack told Isarra. It took Owen several minutes to return with the gurney and he and Jack moved the still unconscious man on to it. Using the old freight elevator they maneuvered it to the 6th floor. Ianto had pulled the hoses out of the tank and had set out several towels on a nearby shelf. They parked the gurney next to the tank and before they could decide how best to put the alien in the water the woman hauled herself over the side, still in her clothes and then turned back to try and pulled him over the side. Jack and Owen shrugged and heaved him ungracefully over the side.

If they had any concern about his condition in the water, it dissipated as they watched the woman cradle his body to her as she carefully poured water over his face and hair taking care not to get it in his nose. The pair watched her for a while before Jack moved to the side of the tank, "We are going to leave you here for a little while. We will bring back food and someplace to sleep". She looked up at him and then nodded giving him a small smile. Owen noticed her teeth that had sunk into Gwen's arm no longer seemed to be sharp points.

They met Ianto in the hallway and together they made their way back into the Hub just as Tosh and Gwen came back, "Did you find anything Tosh?" the woman shook her head.

"It looks like there was a fire, either when they came through the Rift, or it caused the Rift. It looked like the inside was badly damaged before the fire went out. There were several doors and drawers that I couldn't open, so there may be something in them." Jack let out a loud exhale; he'd hoped there was something on the ship to help him with the aliens. "I might be able to download information from the ship's computer, but I would need more equipment than this" she waved her hand held.

"We're going to go get the ship and bring it back here. We should have room in the garage if Owen isn't over estimating its size" Jack said pulling on his greatcoat. "You can study it more then. The aliens are in the tank on the 6th floor, can you two find someplace for them to get some sleep".

"Wait, we have a tank?" Tosh asked ignoring the part about finding bedding.

"Yes, why do we have a massive water tank?" Owen asked. Jack shrugged giving him a look that seemed to ask 'why wouldn't we?'

"Water aliens of course".

"Of course" Ianto repeated rolling his eyes. Sometimes he still couldn't imagine the things they seemed to consider obvious.

It took the guys longer than expected to load the ship onto the trailer. Jack had managed to give it enough auxiliary power despite the damage, but it only lasted long enough to get it out of the crater. They spent the rest of the time dragging it onto the trailer with the use of chains and the SUV. They all collapsed in the SUV hot, sweaty and filthy. "When we get back to the Hub, I have a bottle of Scotch we are going to open. Then you can shower" Jack told them.

For once it was a promise Jack kept. He poured each of them a glass before sending them down to shower while he went to check on the aliens. Just outside of the door, parts of a bed frame and a mattress were stacked. For a split second he wondered where it had come from before entering the room turning on the translator. "How are you feeling?" he asked. Isarra nodded indicating she was doing better. Jack noticed Kra was conscious again but looked very tired and weak. "The girls found a bed and I think we can arrange some dry clothes and food. When you are rested will you let our doctor treat your wounds?" Jack watched the two aliens converse telepathically, and then Isarra turned to him.

"Yes. Kra says our child has not moved. He is worried."

Jack nodded, "maybe Owen should check on him tonight. Just to be safe. I'll be back in a bit. There are towels if you want to get out of the water", he pointed across the dim room and although he could barely make out the shelf they sat on, he knew both aliens could. After they both nodded Jack left.

Owen and Ianto had finished cleaning up and were back in the main part of the Hub, "good work on the bed girls. Owen, Kra is worried about the baby; do you think you could check him over tonight? Ianto, if memory serves the Leqqay ate a lot of starches and vegetables. I am thinking potatoes, corn, green leafy things, get creative" Ianto nodded and went off to see what he could find, he knew he would end up making a trip to the market now that it was morning, "and coffee" Jack added watching Ianto make his way up the stairs. "Do we have any spare clothes? They jumped in the pool with theirs on".

"I'll go check" Gwen offered. "We gathered up some blankets and pillows for the bed."

"Tosh, the ship is down in the garage if you want to go take a peek. I doubt we'll be able to repair it for them; from what I could seem most of the systems are fried. But be careful and take your comm".

"I will" she said with a straight face, but Jack could see the curiosity and excitement dancing in her eyes. Tosh gathered some equipment and headed to the garage. A minute later Gwen returned with a variety of clothes piled in her arms and Owen joined them with his medical bag. Jack collected the blankets from the desk they were piled on and they headed back down to the basement.

Jack stacked the blankets on the shelf with the towels, "Owen can you help me put the bed together?"

"Are you just going to leave them down here?" Owen looked around the room. It was miserable.

"Owen, they like dark, damp, salty environments". Owen made a face but followed Jack's lead on assembling the bed, while Gwen tried to help the half-naked aliens find dry clothes. She tried not to stare, but they seemed unconcerned about their nudity, and being able to see the outline of their organs was strangely fascinating. Once they had been clothed Gwen ushered them over to where they had set the bed up and Jack had covered with the blankets and pillows. Isarra guided her mate to sit down on the edge of the bed, and then pointed to Owen and Jack in turn. He guessed she was introducing them, "that's Gwen" Jack offered nodding in Gwen's direction. They both looked at the woman.

"I am sorry". Isarra said through her computerized voice, "for attacking".

"It's fine, really. I should have known better. Owen patched me up".

"Speaking of" Owen interrupted opening his bag and gesturing for Isarra to sit, which she did next to Kra. "I am just going to check you both over, make sure you aren't too hurt from the crash", he looked up at Jack hoping what he was saying was being translated when neither reacted.

Owen was careful to make slow and deliberate movements, trying to explain what he was doing as he checked their eyes, breathing, and heart and then checked over the cuts and scrapes. Without having a base line, Owen guessed their vitals were about normal and they cuts were superficial. He was concerned about the lump on Kra's forehead which was starting to blossom into a violent orange and red bruise, Owen wasn't sure if he was concussed or just sore and in pain from the crash. "I think they could do for some food and a decent night's sleep" Owen prescribed to Jack, "I'll check your head again in the morning" he told Kra. "I think you'll feel better after you get some sleep".

"Yes." The man said, "sleep will be good".

"Will you let me check that little one?" Owen asked pointing to his stomach. "To make sure it's okay?" it had seemed fine when he and Jack had checked it earlier, but he thought it might easy their worry if they could hear it's heartbeat too. Kra looked over at Isarra and she put her hand on his arm.

"Yes" he finally said.

"Good, can you lay back on the bed for me?" he dug a scanner out of his bag. Isarra sat near Kra's head lovingly stroking his hair. Knowing they didn't register on their computers Owen brought an ultra sound and turned the volume on. Pulling up the hem of his shirt, Owen placed the wand to his stomach listening for the heart beat they had heard earlier. He watch with curiosity as Isarra's ears rotated forward to the sound, much like that of a cat. After a few moments Owen found the sound, "there it is. A nice strong heartbeat" he told them. "I can't do a visual scan here, but we might be able to get one tomorrow" he said, but neither seemed to care. They were both gazing at each other with a mix of relief and love.

"Am I interrupting?" Ianto asked. He was holding a basket of various vegetables. "What is that noise?"

"The baby" Jack said proudly.

"Right. Should I cook these? Well, the potatoes obviously need cooked, but I got lettuce, sprouts, eggplant, broccoli, tomatoes, corn, I think the lady at the market is convinced I'm mental". As he was listing off the things he had found Isarra came over to inspect the delivery. Somewhat hesitantly she reached out taking a tomato off the top as if she was waiting for them to stop her. When they didn't she sniffed at it and then put it back before taking a potato and sniffed it. "I'll cook that" before Ianto could finish his sentence she sunk her sharp teeth into the potato pulling a chunk out of it. "Or not" Ianto finished his sentence as she grabbed another returning to the bed to give it to Kra. The humans watched the aliens munch on their raw potatoes with as much glee as if they were sitting down to dinner at a 5 star restaurant.

"Ianto, you might just want to leave the basket".

"Good idea", he sat it down knowing the pair was watching to see what he would do. He got the impression it had been a while since they had food and then it had probably been a struggle to get.

"We'll leave you to eat," Jack told them. "When you've had your fill, get some sleep".

Before they could leave Isarra reached out taking Jack's hand, "Thank you Jack".

"You are welcome. Rest, you need it." She nodded and returned the bed and her potato.


Ianto made them all coffee when they returned to the main floor of the Hub, Tosh was back at her computer running through files, Gwen collapsed at her desk and Owen threw himself on the couch, each lost in their own thoughts until Ianto passed out coffee to everyone. "Jack, what are we going to do with them?" Tosh asked, "we can't leave them in the basement".

"I have no idea" he confessed taking a long sip of the coffee. "I don't think they will survive long in our sun. Without the computer's information we probably won't know what year they came from, and we can't send them back, it's too risky for a lot of reasons".

"You mean like them being murdered?" Owen asked.

"Partially, without the ship it will be too dangerous. The Weevils seem happy in the sewer".

"You can't let them live in the sewer, they have a baby, a sewer is no place for a child".

"Tell that to the Weevils, we found a nest of Weevils last night and there were a couple babies".

Ianto nodded confirming the information. "Not happy to see us" he added.

"But they are Weevils" Owen complained, "these two obviously have greater needs".

Jack sighed downing the rest of his coffee, "we'll think of something. It's been a long 24 hours. Why don't you all head home and get some sleep. Owen, can you come back tonight just to check on the aliens again? The rest of you, I'll see you in the morning". Jack headed up to his office and slowly Gwen and Owen made their way out. Tosh worked for a bit longer before going home. When she was gone Ianto made his way to Jack's office. Jack only looked mildly surprised to see him, "I sent you home".

"I know. I was trying to decide if I needed to go find more potatoes. Probably wouldn't hurt", he said more to himself than Jack. "Are they really extinct?"

Jack sadly nodded, "well, technically not yet. But I think in their time, they are quickly becoming that way. I was always a little fascinated by them as a kid. Like kids with dinosaurs".

"Well now we have an extinct dinosaur and 2 extinct aliens. We can never say this job is boring".

"No, it's never boring".

"Jack, are you okay?" Ianto asked carefully watching Jack's face as he tried to hide the worried look.

"Fine, I'm fine".

"Liar. You were ready to come unglued when you realized they were in the vaults".

Of course Ianto would have noticed something was wrong. That's what he did and Jack knew he wouldn't push for the truth if he didn't answer. "We see a lot through here. Myfanwy might be out of her time, but she seems comfortable here. We can't bring the dinosaurs back, we can't always send aliens back, but usually we can give them a life here. I don't know how to do that for the Leqqay. Living in that storage room isn't any kind of life. Even the Weevils seem content here. I just don't know how to help them" he confessed.

"I am sure you'll come up with something. You always do. Somehow I doubt they will mind staying here for a few days while we sort things out." Ianto stood up straightening his coat, "get some rest, it will help to see things with fresh eyes. I'm going to pick up some more potatoes and go home for a few hours. I'll be back later". Jack gave him a quick nod and watched him leave. He knew Ianto was right, he was always right, things would be clearer after he rested. First he ran back down the storage room to check the aliens one last time.

It appeared that they had buried themselves under the covers, piling the extra blankets over them. All Jack could make out was a foot that stuck out the bottom. He wondered if they were cold, although the room didn't feel particularly cold, or perhaps they generally slept in nest like beds. Regardless, they seemed to be okay. The basket that Ianto had brought down appeared to be missing all of the potatoes he'd brought. Bites had been taken from the eggplant and set aside; there were remnants of what Jack guessed were corn kernels and parts of a shredded head of lettuce. The tomatoes, spouts and broccoli had remained untouched. Satisfied they were okay, Jack went down to his room and turned the radio on before lying down to try and get some shut eye.
