There was one person he still hadn't seen following the earthquake. Well, two counting the Doctor but Jack was certain the man was going to be fine. The two of them had seen far worse scrapes over the years and an earthquake seemed inconsequential compared to an army of Daleks. Then again, there they had known what they'd be up against. Vas Captio was a veritable unknown.

Getting Ianto to safety had been Jack's primary concern, though his conversations with the Insider through the journals wasn't helping to ease his mind. Still, Jack knew where his place was and, as much as he wanted to stay and keep Ianto safe, he couldn't. He was the hero and he would do the work of heroes: getting everyone else out safe and then figuring out what to do from there. Having not seen Shannon thus far, Jack worried that she was still trapped under god knew how much more debris.

Moving at a full-out run, Jack moved quickly through the rubble, vaulting over piles of stone, not slowing until he approached the remains of the muesum. God, they'd have to find something by way of shelter now -- the museum wasn't habitable. Squinting, Jack could see two figures near the crumbling foundation and he picked up his pace once more, relief coursing through his veins as he caught sight of her.

Thank god.

At the sound of someone running toward the building, Shannon looked away from Sam and up at the source. Jack. Not that she'd been worried about him, since he'd said he couldn't die, but it was still nice to see that he was up and around. Hopefully, that meant Ianto was, too.

She nodded in Jack's direction as if to let Sam know that there was a familiar face and if he wanted to go back out to look for his missing friend and brother, she would understand.

"Hey, stranger," she called out to Jack with a small grin. "Is Ianto okay? And...you know, well, everybody alive...?" The addendum of we know and care about went unsaid, because it was silent in her eyes and she didn't feel the need to vocalize a thought that nasty.

She watched as Sam got to his feet and hated the idea of letting him walk off, but she'd been able to do it the first time and she could do it again. So, she gave him a small smile as he started away, giving a nod of recognition toward Jack, and Shannon looked back at Jack.

Jack watched as the other man left, wondering briefly who it was, but decided not to ask. Besides, introductions on a day filled with disaster seemed a touch out of place. Waiting for him to leave, Jack took the now abandoned seat and settled down beside Shannon, eyes instantly scanning for how bad her injuries were.

He wasn't pleased.

"Ianto's fine. Looks like a broken arm and he got banged up pretty badly, but he'll be fine. We Torchwood lot are made of strong stuff. Some of us more than others," he teased lightly. "I haven't heard of any deaths," Jack replied with a shake of his head. "But that doesn't mean there haven't been. As much as I'd like to be in two places at once, both the Doctor and the Powers that Be have seen to that." He rubbed the plastic replica on his wrist and shook his head. "You? You okay?"
