torchwood100Summary: Jack is on the warpath. A double drabble.
‘I want the whole history on these people,’ Jack demanded, leaning his fists on the boardroom table but refusing to sit down as he delivered his instructions. Prior to that he’d been prowling the room back and forth like a caged animal, ready to tear the throat out of anyone who dared to get close enough.
‘I wanna know who they all are, where they live, where they work, where they grew up, what they put on their morning toast and every bit of medical history on them since they were old enough to walk. Then I want you to find out where the hell they’re meeting up, how they’re getting their hands on alien technology and which part of Cardiff I have to blow up to stop these people.’
The four of them cringed at the instructions. It wasn’t as if they hadn’t done all those things and more, but the people they were hunting down were elusive, only leaving a mark moments after they’d exited the scene. It infuriated Jack that they couldn’t be pinned down, and he chose to take that frustration out on the team.
‘Find them!’ he barked angrily. ‘Nobody goes home until they’re stopped.’
