Jack felt like a new man when he woke up that morning after his day of luxuriating the previous day. He grinned to himself as he showered and dressed. Not that he meant that literally. He was quite happy with the man he had, he just wished he was here. But he felt refreshed and eager to try and find out a bit more about the resort and the planet.

He decided to start outside, see if there was anything obvious. Strange machinery, suspicious buildings, that sort of thing. He saw other people as he prowled around but he avoided them for the most part. He wasn't interested in being distracted today, at least not until he got frustrated in his search in which case, distraction would be a good thing.

He had decided to leave the barns for last, given how large they were and instead turned his steps towards the gardens. For the most part they looked perfectly normal, even the greenhouses were utterly normal. Then he turned a corner and saw something that made him stop in his tracks.

The TARDIS. For a moment he thought he was seeing things. He took a few steps closer and realised he wasn't. She was really there, sitting in the middle of the gardens.

A grin broke out on Jack's face and he started forward eagerly. The Doctor was here! This was the best news he'd had since he woke up here. If anyone could get them out, it was the Doctor. He strode up to the doors of the TARDIS and his grin became rather rueful as he knocked on the doors.

"Doctor?" he called, hoping the Time Lord could hear him.

Jack hesitated, trying to decide how to answer. He already knew that the Doctor had known and had run away from him... because he was wrong. That still hurt even now. He understood intellectually but... his emotions were involved here. He loved the Doctor, just as he loved Rose, and he'd never reacted overly logically to being hurt by those he loved.

"I know," he said with a small smile.

The smile slowly modulated into a grin. "Well, I've kept busy. I'd get bored otherwise and you know a bored Jack is a very dangerous thing." He gave her a wicked look then sobered a little. "Uh, it was 2008 actually."

Rose nodded, wanting to move over and hug him closely, but she remained in her seat. She couldn't help but smile as he did- his smile was absolutely infectious. "It really is. But never fear! We'll try to keep you as entertained here as we possibly can." She shifted in her seat. "2008? We just came from the 2012 Olympics. The Doctor carried the torch right into the stadium."

Jack grinned. "I haven't explored even half of this place yet so I can't see myself getting bored too soon." He grimaced. "Though I'll admit I really want to get back to my team. I promised them I wouldn't run off again... well, I promised Ianto I wouldn't do that and I actually meant it."

He laughed at Rose's revelation. "I'll remember that and keep an eye out for him if we ever get out of here. Though knowing my luck the rift will decide that's the day it wants to get cranky again. It always picks the worst possible time." The number of times he and Ianto had been interrupted was starting to reach the annoying levels and it was threatening to make him paranoid.
