Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 410 - Hand
Notes: Jack hasn't always had it easy

The beeping from Jack's vortex manipulator was unexpected. He checked the readings. Yes, someone was trying to access Torchwood records back on Earth.

He'd almost managed to forget the people he'd left behind there. Almost. Some still haunted his dreams and nightmares.

He sighed, looking out over the golden sunsets of the Olvera binary system. He'd have to go back. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to. Gwen and Rhys could be in terrible danger if those records were uncovered.

Earth. He hadn't ever wanted to go back again, but this was the hand life had dealt him.
