All was dark and silent; Gwen had long since gone home and Ianto was sleeping fitfully in Jack’s bunk.
Jack couldn’t sleep; the events of the past 24 hours – or was it two thousand years? – whirling through his mind in an endless
loop.
Pausing by Tosh’s workstation, he ran fingertips over her keyboard. The thought flashed into his mind: She’d never use it again.
Finally stepping into the autopsy bay, once Owen’s domain, he stopped. Ianto had cleaned, scrubbing until his hands were raw, but in his mind Jack could still see blood.
And empty places where friends should be.
The End
