Where: Starship UK

What:

A bad job of staying out of trouble? That's the typical Doctor but Jack is going to keep close tabs on him. Right now he's seated at a table with the two twins in high chairs and he's ordered something to eat. It looks like a turkey sandwich and even Jack knows a metal ship like this won't give you a real turkey sandwich.

Jack feels a bit at home on the massive starship but Earth has been home for so long. Still it makes a bigger difference to have his family with him to share these adventures with. The boys seem to be enjoy what finger foods they have in front of them that the TARDIS provided them before they left.

"Mom's going to be back. She had to use the bathroom your sisters think she's the set for Dancing with the Stars." Jack laughs, and he takes a bite of his sandwich. He pays the Smilers in the booth not far them no mind. He's been in so many police state situations it's no surprise. He's got some local knowledge but nothing that would have him question things like the pilot.

"Well, when we get home, then we all will have to have a beach day. It's not Cardiff, but it's close." She loved those moments, looking at the Bay with Jack beside her. She missed those quiet times.

Slowly, Gwen rises to her feet and hands her daughter off to Jack. "It would be better if I go check on her. It is probably nothing and we'll be laughing about it later." Her brow furrows and she looks down at her watch. "Just how long has she been gone, anyway?"

It could be a month or two worth of non-linear time in the TARDIS or more depending on how much needs to be done. "I like that idea of a beach day. No, it's not Cardiff. New York was pretty close, you can toss in the cold and the wet."

Cardiff was nice while it lasted for well over a century for Jack and he misses what was home for so long. Still he had enough of bad memories.

"I'm going to say a pee break doesn't take over a half hour." Jack takes hold of Anwen and he lets her play with the buttons on his coat. He shifts the wee one so she's right at his hip and can get that important good view. "If it's worth a thousand words you can take a few pictures."

Gwen stood up and went over to the ladies room. "Alisa," she called out as she entered. She didn't reach for her gun, but she did have it holstered at her hip if she needed it. Lately, she never went anywhere without it. She was trained by the best. Peeking into the bathroom, she took a few hesitant steps when she didn't hear Alisa answering her. "Alisa? It's Gwen."

Once inside, her eyes widen at what she sees. The room is a mess, blue water everywhere on the floor. "Looks like the cleaning crew has the day off," Gwen murmured to herself. The room is empty, not a sound around her. As she checks all the stalls, she sees no sign of Alisa either. And that bothers her. The woman couldn't have just disappeared. Could she?

Gwen comes back out a few minutes later and returns to the table. She's not smiling as she approaches. Being the bearer of bad news is never a good thing. "Jack," she says softly. "She's not in there. I think we need to take the kids back to the TARDIS and see if this ship has CCTV."

There's the Smiler on the wall of the bathroom and there's no sign of Alisa in the bathroom other than her purse that's contents that were spilled all over the place. There's no answer from the bathroom and it looks like she wasn't alone either with blue water and boot prints on the floor.

Jack back in his chair and he was bouncing Anwen on his lap. Once Gwen came back and the moment he saw the look on Gwen's face he stood up quickly. The color on his face drains away and he tries to keep himself calm for the sake of both the twins and Anwen who's in his arms still. "I've got her, take the twins into the TARDIS and we'll see if we can find anything resembling CCTV on this ship."

There has to be cameras everywhere and his six month pregnant wife couldn't of just vanished. Jack knows humanity was desperate during these times but not that desperate.

Gwen stepped forward and placed one of her hands on his elbow. "Jack, we'll find her. You know we will. The Doctor can help us if we have to bother him." She sighed and tried to give him a gentle hug. "There must be cameras on this ship. Or someone has seen something. I'm sure of it. We have to be positive."

Gwen moved over to the twins and took hold of the pram. "It looks like a mess in there, Jack. There's water all over the floor. Whatever happened, she put up one hell of a fight."

He looks at the Smiler and he studies it wondering if the camera is inside of it. "I think, I have a feeling I know what consists of a camera..." Jack knows he'll get Alisa back from where ever she was taken. Jack places his free hand on Gwen's shoulder.

He leads her into the TARDIS and he places Anwen down on the floor once inside. "Alisa wouldn't just let anyone grab her. That sounds like her. I'm going to go look around to see if I can find any cameras." There's an innocent look on Jack's face and he glances at his boys in the pram. "I need someone to keep an eye on the two while I'm gone."

Gwen follows Jack into the TARDIS and smiles when the doors close behind them. The TARDIS really is the one place that is the safest, no matter where they they are in the universe. If anyone was to keep an eye on the little ones, this would be the place to do it. Gwen leaned against the railing and watched Jack, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I will look after them. I know how you feel, Jack. I will watch the little ones till you return. I'll see if the TARDIS can any find any camera footage on the ship." She raised a hand and wagged a finger at him. "But I know you. You come and find me if you go anywhere. No hunting without backup. The TARDIS can protect the little ones if we really need her to." Gwen gave Jack another hug. "Be careful."

Jack looks at his twin sons in the pram and he takes in a deep breath. They're safe in here but he's quick to turn around to make sure the glock in his holster is armed.

With the gun reholstered he smiles. "Thanks. Both of you. Thank you. I'll be back if I find anything." Jack was going to make way for those doors and only to find Gwen giving him another hug, and he leans into it to return the hug. She's right, Jack's going to get himself into trouble and The Doctor is out there. "I'll see if I can get in touch with The Doctor."

The hard part will be the CCTV cameras located inside the heads of the Smilers.
