WHO: Jack Harkness, The Doctor
WHAT: Jack is worried about the Doctor. And when I say worried, I mean very.
WHEN: 11:00 am
WHERE: Somewhere near the glass walls.
RATING: TBD
STATUS: Active

The barn raising could have gone better but Jack knew it also could have gone a LOT worse. And by a lot worse, he meant the entire place going up. No, he didn't know what the Doctor was completely capable of, but he knew the stories and he knew the legends. And, frankly, Jack didn't want to see him in that state.

Which was why, after Ianto left him in the morning, Jack found himself aimlessly wandering vas captio, ignoring the remnants of destruction following the hurricane. He wanted to check out the carnival, but he couldn't bring himself to go there. Instead, he found himself walking to the outer reaches, reaching the glass box that enclosed them. Closing his eyes, Jack leaned his forehead against it, resting a hand up against it as well.

There had to be a way out. They couldn't scale the wall, but was it possible to dig? How far down did the barrier go?

They needed out -- before they all killed each other with no help from the Insider.

Doing the impossible was one of Jack's favourite pasttimes -- particularly when with the Doctor. Talent, skill and luck were three things they had in spades when they were together -- even if it seemed like they were quickly running out of that aforementioned luck while here.

"Thank you captain obvious," Jack replied with playful roll of his eyes. "Though I don't know if one can jump through the ranks that easily. Usually takes working your way up through them. And yes, they can be grateful for the record." The smile faded from Jack's face and he toed at the ground. "I don't know. I'd like to think they have been, but I don't know if any of us have that sort of luck around here."

Jack nodded, all of those were people he'd consider their best allies, those who would do anything to get out of here. "Logan... At times I think his intentions may be pure but he sure as hell doesn't execute it well." And that was a decided understatement. Frowning, Jack caught the look on the Doctor's face -- pensive, pensive wasn't a good look for him.

Pensive worried Jack.

And, for the record, the only reason Jack took no from the Doctor was because he knew better than to push. Otherwise? Jack didn't take no. Ever.

"What is it, Doctor?" Jack asked, laying a hand on his friend's shoulder.
