torchwood100Summary: Jack is fed up with having his own personal stalker. A double drabble.
It was lucky it was late, Jack thought as he sped down the empty road, lit only by a few sodium lights. He was in a hurry, but he was always in a hurry and traffic only slowed him down.
Then something appeared in the middle of the road, causing him to hit the brakes hard. It was a person, just standing there, like they wanted to be run over. Then he realised it wasn't just any person. It was that kid from yesterday.
He almost didn't recognise him standing there in a suit. He looked good, and then Jack checked himself. No. He wasn't doing this. He wasn't going to put up with having his every step dogged by the ex-Torchwood kid. There is no job! How many times did he have to say it?
He got out of the car, his anger bubbling just beneath the surface. If he hadn't been clear before he was going to make damn sure he was crystal clear this time. No more stalking! He was done with Torchwood One. Had been for a long time. What had happened was tragic, but just underscored their hubris and stupidity. Time to finally end things.
