"Fancy meeting for another drink?"Brendan asks
"Er..."
Lara then remembered what Jack said
"Im busy tonight, with the baby"She said quickly
"Cant you get Jack to look after her?"
"I dont know....hang on...how do you know about Jack?"
"Oh me and him are good friends. We've known each other for years, i havent seen him in a while though"
"Oh...right.."
"Well?"He looks at her
"I dont know.."
"If you dont want to thats fine, i understand"He said walking away
"Wait.."Lara said "Ok...ill get Jack to babysit"
Brendan then smiled..he turned around
"Great, it would be nice to get to know you better"
Lara then didnt feel so keen on going out
"See you in the pub at 7"He said walking off

"God hes fit"Kate said running up to Lara
"Who?"
"That examiner guy"
"No hes not"
"Hes Scottish!"
"I know, duh, but he isnt my type. Jack is my type"Lara smiled
"He was a bit quiet you know, he kinda did help me but kept looking out the window at you"
"Did he?"
"Yeah...weirdo"
Lara sighed, she shouldnt be going out to meet this guy.

Back at the tardis
"How did you do?"The Doctor said reading his aliens monthly magazine
"Great! Hopefully ill pass"She said sitting next to him
"Good good.."
Kate then looked at the magazine. She pulled it down to reveal him reading the bible
"I thought it was too good to be true"She sighed
"Shhh, im getting to the good part"
"Fucking hell im going to see Lara.."


"Jack can you look after Kim tonight?"Lara said putitng some clothes on
"I cant babe, ive got work, you know that"He said watching her
"Im going out with Kate tonight, i need to unwind a little"
"But we cant leave Kim alone"Jack said
"Well take her to work with you"
"Lara...you know how dangerous it is there"
"Just place her in your office or something"
Jack sighed
"Are you sure you're ok?"He said rubbing her shoulders
"Yes, why?"She tunred around
"You just seem...distant"He said
"Im just...stressed out"
Jack paused
"Alright, ill take Kim with me, dont drink too much ok?"He said kissing her
"I wont"She said


Lara walked into the pub sheepishly, hoping no-one from work would recoknise her
She looked around for this Brendan but couldnt see him..
She quickly changed her mind and turned to go out
"Oh hi"He said smiling behind her
"Hi"She said
"Come sit down, ill get us something to drink"He said touching her back, directing her towards a table
Lara sat down
"You look very nice"He said
"Look..im with Captain Jack Harkness, this is just a drink ok? You know what he would be like if he found this out"
"Oh dont worry, i phoned him and told him all about it, hes fine"
Lara looked stunned
"Um..alright"
"What drink would you like then?"
"Just orange please"
"Not orange and vodka?"
"No, just orange.."


Kate went over to Jacks and knocked on the door...no answer
"Oi! You two stop shagging!"Kate bashed the door
Still no answer
"Hmm.."
She then made her way towards torchwood

Meanwhile..
"Kate look at this!"The Doctor said looking at his bible still
He then looked around
"Kate?"

"I want the postion of every alien device in the city, we need to get them removed a.s.a.p"Jack said to the team
"Jack they are giving off radioactive signals"Tosh said
"We need to work faster then!"
The door then opened and everyone looked towards it
"Hiya"Kate said
Jack made his way down to her
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you"
"Kate, go away we're doing a job here and i cant have anyone intoxicated on the premisis"
"Im not intoxic..whatever that is"
"Wheres Lara?"
"I dont know, i was just about to ask you"
"Stop mucking about, where is she?"
"I dont know Jack, i've been looking for both of you cause im bored"
Jack then stopped
She was with that bloke again
"Fuck sake"He shouted walking up to his office
"What? What is it?"Kate followed him
Kim then started crying
Jack got her out and started cuddling her
"If Lara isnt with you, which she told me she is, shes with that guy"
"What guy?"
"That Brendan bloke"
"What about him?"
"I told her not to go near him, shes gone out with him somewhere"
"Why would she do that?"
"Cause he is Manuplitive, he makes everything sound believable when it isnt really true"He said kissing Kim
"Oh right.."
"Look after her will you"He said passing Kim over
Jack undid his watch and pressed a few buttons



"God my head is spinning, you sure this is orange?"Lara asked
"Yeah"He smiled drinking his beer
"Its making me really...whats the word..tipsy"
"Probably cause its strong"He shrugged
Laras watch then went off
She lifted it up
"Lara.."Jack appeared in a hologram
"Oh..hiya.."She said trying to face away from Brendan
"Where are you?"
"Im out with Kate, i told you"
"No you're not, Kate is here with me"
"Oh.."
"Are you with that bloke?"
"No.."
"Dont lie to me Lara...what did i tell you about him? Dont listen to a word he-"
Brendan then closed her watch
"Lets take a walk somewhere"He said
"No, i have to go home"Lara said
"No you dont, just have a break for once"
"I cant i have to"
Brendan grabbed her arm
"Lets go for a walk"
"Ow you're hurting me"Lara said
"Come on"He said standing up holding her
"Hi Lara, hows things?"A collegue walked over
Brendan then let go and Lara ran off

Lara ran back home to Jacks and started crying

Meanwhile..
Katie ran into the pub as Lara was usually there
She looked around at the packed tables and saw one man sitting and drinking on his own
She walked over
"Have you seen Lara anywhere?"
"Nope"He said sipping his beer
"I thought she would be with you"
"Nope, i dont know where she is"
Kate sighed she started to panic
"So you busy this week?"
"Not really"
"Fancy a drink?"
"No im alright thanks"
He leaned forward
"Ill see you around then"He smirked
Katie then slowly walked away

Brendan drank the rest of his beer and got up and walked towards Katies direction
Katie was talking ont he phone to Jack. Brendan stood behind her
"I dont know where she is?"
"Ill check my flat"Jack said
Katie put the phone down and looked up, brendan stood there
"Need any help?"
"No, go away!"
"Come on, i might be able to help you find Lara"He said leaning closer
"Go away you freak!"Katie pushed him back
Brendan stumbled
"Dont you dare push me!"He then slapped her across the face "If i ever see you again, ill give you a fucking good hiding"
He then carried on walking
Kate held her face, this guy was really a phyco..

Lara ran into her house.
"Your right" Lara sat down on the sofa.
"Where have you been!"
"Hes a phyco.."
"What?"
"That Brendan.."
"Why whats he done..if hes touched you!"
She goes quite.
"Lara! Dont try and cover things up" He then lifts her arm up to see finger marks.
"Mind Kim" He grabs his jack and goes to walk out. Lara grabs him.
"No! Leave it, your gunna make things worse!"
"He's hurt you! You shouldnt of gone out with him! I told you!"
"I know I know.." She looks down.
"Kate's been looking for you.."
"Ill go round now.."
"Not on your own"
"Why"
"Because he could be anywhere! Ill come"
She sighs and walks out.

Kate slowly walks into the tardis and sits down.
She stares at the walls, her face stung.
"Kate that you?" The Doctor shouts from the shower.
"Ye..im here.."
He walks out with a towel wrapped round him, he looks at her.
"You alright?"
"Fine.."
"You dont look it" He walks closer to her and moves her face to one side.
"Whats that"
"I fell"
"Youve got a hand mark on your face and you fell?" He raises an eyebrow.
She nods.
"Dont be stupid..whats happened, you and Lara fell out?"
"No.."
"Then what!"
"Nothing!" She walks off.

Jack and Lara then knock on the door.
"God sake.." He opens the door.
"Kate here?" Lara asks walking in.
"Ye, shes in a mood though.." He walks back in and lets Jack in.
"Why?" Jack asks.
"I dont know, she's got a hand mark on her face and she wont tell me what it is, I thought it might be Lara and her fighting but apperently not"
"Well I havnt seen her so.." Lara says "Ill go in and talk to her"

"You got any beer?" Jack asks.
"Got a can in the fridge.."
Jack stands up and walks to the fridge.
"Yes course you can have it Jack" He says.


"Whats happened?"Lara asked Katie
"I went looking for you and got fucking hit thats what happened"Katie cried holding her face
"By who?"
"Who do you think?"
Lara paused
"What did you do to make him do that?"
"Nothing! Thats what!"
"Well im sorry Kate"
"You fucking well should be. Me and Jack were worried to were you had gone"
"I didnt want to tell anyone, i just wanted to be friends"
"Do you think Jack would let you do that?"
"No"
"Well keep away from him Lara, hes a sick bastard"Katie said climbing into bed

Lara walked out to Jack drinking a can and the doctor playing with the baby
"Wheres Kim gone?"He said covering his eyes
Lara then picked her up
"Lets go"
"There- oh shes gone"The Doctor said opening his eyes
"We're going"Lara said
"Are we?"Jack asked
"Yes, i wanna go home now"
"Ok"
"See you guys later"The Doctor said

The Doctor walks into the bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed.
"I wish you would talk to me..heard you and Lara shouting"
"Its her fault.."
"Whats her fault"
"That!" She points to her face.
"Why" He strokes her back.
"I went looking for Lara, me and Jack were worried and thats how I got this..she was with that Brendan guy..I got in the way..he slapped me happy?" She sighs.
"He what?"
"Im not fucking repeating it"
"He slapped you?"
"Yes! Now leave me alone"
"Well im trying to be helpful!"
"How are you being helpful when your bovering me when I dont want to be bovered with!"
"Oh fine! Whatever Kate" He walks out.
Kate sighs..

Lara sits down and switches the tv on.
"Your really quite.." Jack says.
Lara focuses on the screen.
"Ye Jack.." Jack rolls his eyes.."Talk to me!"
"Im watching tv!"
"I give up..im putting Kim to bed"
"You do that.."
"I will.."
"Go on then!"
"I am!"
"Do it then!"

Meanwhile..
Brendan opens the back gate to Lara's garden. He sneaks past the shed and sneakily looks through the window, he watches Lara watching tv, he looks at her.
Lara quickly turns around, nothing there.
He pops his head back up. Lara turns back round.
SHe pulls a face and opens the back door, she looks left and right "Hello?" "Hello? Anyone here?"
She walks out and then gets grabbed from behind.
She screams but he covers her mouth up. She struggles and they both fall to the floor. Lara tries to reach for something to grab a hold of to get out of his grip but he was too strong
"Stay still"He says quietly
He rips her jacket off
She keeps struggling and elbows him in the chest. He gets winded and she crawls along the patio desperatly trying to get away
Brendan holds onto his chest and chases her
"Get off me"She cries

Jack turned around, he could hear faint screams. He ran into the lounge.
"Lara?"
Lara turned over on her back and kept kciing violently at him
"Leave me alone!"She screamed
"Lara?"Jack looked towards the open door
She kicked him in the face and ran towards the doors
Brendan got up and ran off
"Lara what are you doing out here?"
"He was here Jack, he grabbed me"She said holding him crying
"Who? Brendan?"
She cried more
He walked outside to loko for him, but he had long gone
"Ill have a word with him tommorrow morning"


In the morning..
Katie walked out towards Torchwood
"Did you find Lara in the end?"Brendan asked walked behind her
Katie didnt answer, she just walked faster
"I didnt mean what i said last night, i had too much to drink"
She didnt reply
"I got a car if you need a lift"
"Fuck off"She mumbled
"Please yourself" He smiles walking off.
She sighs and walks on.

Lara sits on the edge of her bed rocking Kim, she starts crying.
"Shh.." She rocks her.
"Right..you be alright on your own?" Jack says kissing her.
"Ye.."
"You just stay here..you have told me everything right? Anything you havnt told me..I can get him sacked for this Lara.."
Lara nods "Ive told you everything"
"Right..The doctors coming round in a bit to check on you, Kate will be popping round at dinner, she just needs to catch up on her writing" He kisses her one more time and walks out.

Jack walks into torchwood, he notices Kate sat in the canteen.
"You alright?"
"Fine.." She sits drinking her coffee.
"You catching up ye?"
"Ye..going up to office in a sec, just needed a drink.."
"Alright" He walks off.
He walks in the direction of Brendan's office, he walks in, Brendan looks up "Yes boss?"
"With me now.." He trys not to get to angry.
"Why?"
"Now!!" He shouts.
"Someones touchy.." He follows him out the room.
Jack leads him into his office and shuts the door in front of him.
"Right..im trying to be very very calm here..as it was my girlfriend who you are harrasing..but I dont fancy losing my job over you so..your sacked"
"What?"
"What do you mean what! You heard! Your sakced get out of my sight!"
"I havnt touched Lara.."
"See youve landed yourself in it..who said anything about touching" He raises an eyebrow.
Brendan stutters. "Look I havnt done anything!"
"Now your sacked..I can do this" Jack punches him round the face.
"Now get out of my sight!!" He shouts.
Eveyrone outside freezes as they hear the shouting.
"You havnt heard the last of me.." Brendan looks at him and walks out, everyone stares at him.
Jack sighs and leans on his desk.

It came to the afternoon and Kate packed away her stuff, she made her way out of her office.
She walked outside the building and noticed Brendan stood outside the building. Kate ignored him and carried on walking.
"Hey!" He runs up to her.
Kate turns around "Leave me alone.."
"Just trying to be friendly"
"Fuck off or im going to the police"
"For being friendly?"
She carrys on walking.
"How many times..im sorry ok?"
"Just fuck off!"
"Thats not very nice..fancy a drink?"
"Im married! Now will you leave me alone?"
"No.." He smiles "I think your fit"
"I think your fucking annoying! Fuck off!" She runs off.

The Doctor was sat in Lara's with the baby. Lara was making a cup of tea.
The Doctor puts Kim in her cot as she was fast asleep and walks into the kitchen.
"Ill finish that off if you want"
"No its alright"
"Are you alright?"
"Yes!"
The Doctor rolls his eyes "Alright.."
Kate then walks in.
"I swear..we need to do something about that Brendan guy.."
"Why whats he done?" The Doctor asks.
"Keeps talking to me! He asked me for a drink I said im married and he starts calling me fit and you just cant get rid of the bastard" She sits down.
