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.

He was concerned, and not just because there had been sex between them -- even if they hadn't, Jack still would have been worried and still would have searched the entire compound until he found her. He took care of those he cared about, he'd lost two people already, and with Tosh and Owen's deaths still raw on his nerves, he wasn't going to lose a third.

"He'll be fine. We all have had worse." And not that long ago either, Jack silently added with a shudder. Pulling themselves out of the rubble following John's explosions was another very recent memory for Jack. He flicked his head towards her following the blunt question. He wouldn't lie to her, she didn't deserve that. "Yes," he answered simply. "As deaths go, wasn't the worst one ever but sure as hell wasn't the most fun having a good portion of the ceiling fall on top of me." The bit about Gray, however, was going to be left out completely.

Gingerly, Jack slipped an arm around Shannon's waist and held her in close. "Don't sleep--" he broke off, the rest of her words finally sinking in. "Wait. Floorboard?" Jack sat up as quickly as he could without jostling her unnecessarily. "Let me see," he said, slipping into Captain-mode.
