The explosion was massive. Jack had been killed instantly, dead before his body even crashed through the wall. His team, for the most part, seemed to have fared better. Ianto was wrapping a blanket around Tosh, who, although slightly dazed, smiled in thanks. Owen was bruised but busied himself treating Gwen.
Gwen, however, wasn’t moving.
“Are you here for her?” Jack asked the figure behind him.
NO. IT IS NOT HER TIME.
“Wasn’t mine either. Well, not really. But you still came for me.”
IT IS MY JOB.
“Well, given the damage, I figure we got a few hours to kill. Did you bring cards this time?”
YES.
“Good. But we’re not playing poker again. You cheat.”
I DO NOT CHEAT.
“Then how do you explain the fact you always draw aces and eights? Do you know how hard it is to beat that hand?”
THAT IS NOT MY CONCERN.
“It’s mine though. And I say no poker.”
WE COULD PLAY CRIPPLE MR ONION.
“Fine. You deal.”
