Can You Handle The Truth?
Who: Dr. Spencer Reid and Sarah Jane Smith [also open to the Doctor or Luke should they want to jump in!].
What: Reid lays some truths on Sarah Jane... and is kind of happy just to have company again!
When: Day 2, very late afternoon.
Where: Sarah Jane, Luke and the Doctor's house.
Rating: PG-13 for descriptions of torture.
Status: Incomplete.



Clad in his vest and shirt with the map in the kit that was now slung around his shoulder in the same fashion his tan leather go-bag used to be, Reid located the small residential area near the Post Office and set off on foot through the town. His nerves were on edge and his hyperactive senses were tingling, more than terrified at being alone in Vas Captio, alone and exposed out in the open. He had no idea how people were selected for these cruel, torturous tests that the Management enjoyed inflicting upon them, but he hoped it wasn't by picking on those wandering out by themselves. Selfishly, he would much rather be forced to observe. He had been on the receiving end of torture before, and knew from personal experience that it was not a scenario he wanted repeated again. Ever.

Had he not been terrified, he may have marvelled at the old architecture of the town. It was so aged, like it had been here since the fifties or so. Ghost towns were commonplace in America, but to see one this well-kept was interesting. Though, his senses were distracted with keeping an eye out, and so he barely noticed too much whilst walking across the town, eventually walking into the residential area and scanning the cookie cutter houses.

Sarah Jane had said she would be standing outside to ensure he found the correct house. Strolling the block, he eventually found one home that had an older woman stood outside, a woman whose face he recognized as he got closer as Sarah Jane's from the bunker beforehand. Swallowing, and trying to remind himself why he was here (he wanted the company as well as to explain somewhere more private than the journals, which could no doubt be read by Management), Reid approached and flashed an awkward half-smile, lifting his hand in a wave.

"Sarah Jane?" he called out as he got closer.

If he didn't hear many names, he might not know. Best to keep it to people from home, then, people she knew well enough to worry about. She shook her head. "No, not Luke. He wasn't here before, thank goodness." She glanced toward the closed door of the room. "Management didn't used to have children here, I don't think." Although, she could see children's faces, if she concentrated. Little blonde girl, little brown-haired boys, little girl with oddly colored hair and pigtails. That made no sense to her.

"The Doctor, for one," she said. "There were two people here using that name - one with close-cropped hair and larger ears - usually wore a leather jacket, and another, skinny man, pinstripes and trainers with brown hair that never looks combed." She hoped she wouldn't have to go into explaining the Doctor just yet. It could get complicated. "Jack Harkness - dark hair, square jaw, military coat. Ianto Jones, shorter hair, always wore a suit. And Rose Tyler, blonde woman, about my height, large brown eyes."

As for the others she'd met - Shannon, Sam and Dean, Remy, L, Walter - that could wait. Shannon wasn't even here, so far as she could tell, nor was Walter. And she'd ask about the rest later, depending on what Dr. Reid was able to tell her about her friends from home.

Reid frowned, lifting a finger to his lips and pursing them against the knuckle as he thought back, straining his eidetic memory. The recollections didn't hurt so much when he was looking at them from an analytical point of view. He racked his brain for names, names and descriptions.

"There was someone they referred to as the Doctor... and Jack. The, the doctor in the pinstripe suit, with the shaggy haircut... They were together, with another man. He was wearing a suit, short hair, but I... I don't recall his name." He frowned, pinching the lines of his forehead together beneath his bangs.

"There was, uh... there was a machine, I've never seen one before, but it had a large blade on it... the screen cut out before anything too, uh, violent was shown." He swallowed a bit, not even realizing that his recollection might be upsetting Sarah Jane, and continued.

"Rose, I... I don't remember a rose. There were several blonde girls, one was with two wolves, they were chained in a room with her... another one had a pregnancy test, the torture was purely psychological in that one, as opposed to physically frightening or painful like the majority... there was a third, she was... she was guarding a man, who was then, uh... touched... by a woman." His brain hurt, and he stopped for a moment, allowing his strained mind to relax.

"I was, uh, distracted, but I saw the majority of it... not many people wanted to watch. The fact that the unsub- uh, that the Management wanted us to... to watch each other, to profile them, with the DSM-IV, tells us a lot about them. I don't think they were willing to share their experiment with us, to allow us to help, I think they were taunting us."

Jack and the Doctor, and a man that could have been Ianto, in a room with a machine with a large blade. "What were they doing?" Sarah Jane asked, flashes of...something...going through her mind at that description. Whatever had happened, she'd seen it. She had to have, if it felt so familiar. Her voice was hollow as she spoke, though, knowing she wouldn't like the answer to her question.

When he started on the litany of blondes, Sarah Jane listened carefully, her mind racing to figure out which might be Rose, if any. "Did any of the girls speak? Rose has an English accent."

Of course the Management had been taunting them. Why else lock them in a cage to watch people be tortured on monitors, and be unable to help? The book and the white board and notes were just icing on their cruel cake. She shut her eyes, trying to force her brain to remember. It was something she should ask Jack about, when she had the chance. If he remembered, he at least would be direct about it. She wasn't sure she wanted to try and make Rose recount any of those sorts of details. But the scene of Jack and the Doctor and that room...something was very familiar about it, and she couldn't quite place it. Hopefully, Dr. Reid would be able to help her fill in the gaps.

Reid's teeth grazed his chapped, torn lip, biting down on it a little, and he shifted his stance awkwardly. His hands twisted and writhed together as he stared down at them to avoid her eyes.

"I, uh... they were... there-there was that blade, and uh, they, they didn't exactly show us everything, they-they cut the feed before anything happened, but uh..." Reid cleared his throat.

"The, uh, the blade? It was almost as if they were going to... cut into his head." He looked up warily, as if testing her reaction.


[ ooc; Sorry for the late response!!! ]

She watched Dr. Reid carefully as she waited for his response, noting how uncomfortable he was with the discussion. Well, he'd offered. And Sarah Jane's innate curiosity, even when faced with something morbid, perhaps especially in this case, was going to press until it was satisfied.

"Who was going to cut into whose head?" she asked slowly, voice far more level and deliberate than it had a right to be, given the chill running down her spine. But she'd never shied away from the unpleasant.

[OOC: It's all good!]
