the system even though no one would believe her,

seeing Jack and sweet Ben Brown, now in cold

storage, investigate it and knowing, just knowing,

that there was something special about them.

That they were people she belonged with. People

that didn't fit inside the world just like she didn't.

She was the one who realised when the virus

downloaded into her boss. It was she that had

captured it. If it wasn't for her, her old boss would

have been dead, and not pleasantly too. At least

he couldn't remember his agony. Sometimes, when

she remembers what a smug, smarmy bastard he

was, she wishes he could have just a little part of

his memory back. But hey, you couldn't win them

all, and her clear thinking had got her a better

job.

I don't need any more than this, Jack,' she

squeezes his knee. I really don't.' He leans forward

and kisses her gently on the cheek. 'One day you

will, Suzie Costello. One day we all need something

more than this.'

He sounds so sad and she wonders if he's as

damaged as she is underneath all that easy charm

and the bright smile. She almost asks, and then

decides against it.

'Shall we go back to work?' she says. I'm sure I

can smell Weevil.'

He laughs suddenly and she can't help but join

in. She loves this. She really does.

Logged out of Commander Jackson's computer, Suzie sat back in her chair, surprised to find how much she was trembling. They hadn't cared about her. They'd bloody killed her. How could reading about them have affected her so much? It was a good thing that they were all gone. Torchwood on her tail was something she really didn't need; she had a history of coming off badly against her erstwhile colleagues. Still, she thought, taking a deep breath and steadying her nerves, sometimes you couldn't fight the memories - the good as well as the bad. Gunshots echoed in her memory. Her shooting Jack. Jack shooting her. Her shooting herself. She could safely say that things hadn't ended well for her and Torchwood - they'd turned out to be a family that hated her as much as her own one had.

She smiled. She'd had the last laugh with her father and she was having it again with Torchwood.

Jack and Gwen were on the run and the others were dead and here was she, once again back from the dead. She checked her watch. The Commander would be back at any moment and she needed some fresh air. Time to have a little dig around for any new files on herself - she'd destroyed all the early ones but there was bound to be a new one with basic information after her last visit - and then to fetch lunch like a good little girl.
