Part 6

“What now? Do I sign the official secrets act or something?”

“Do you want to?” The smirk was back. Kathy just glared and Harkness sighed. “Go on with your life, try to pretend tonight never happened, call us if you see anything weird. Or you can forget tonight, if you want.” He held out a small pill. “I can make that happen.”

“No. I don’t want to forget what I saw.”

Harkness shrugged. “Your choice. I antagonise the police for a reason, Kathy. It makes you steer clear of us. You’re safer that way.”

Kathy nodded, finally understanding. “I know.”

The End

I love this series and I truly wish they hired Kathy Swanson instead of Gwen. Thanks for this pleasant (not so pleasant for everyone lol) moment with Torchwood's characters. :D

[bk_forever]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I like Kathy a lot, she's very professional, a straight talker and a very capable lady.

Well, it's oneof the reaons Jack antagonises the police, lol.

[bk_forever]

Yeah, but at least he's trying to be honest!

Thank you!

A lot of people would have chosen to forget.

[bk_forever]

Which just proves what a strong person Kathy is. She realises that kn owing the truth will mean she can be more effective at her job.

Thank you!

Funny how Jack didn't give Gwen a choice with the retcon. I don't think he could have done the same thing to Kathy.

[bk_forever]

He wanted to wipe Gwen's mind, but it backfired so he had to hire her to keep her quiet ;)

Kathy would be a useful resource within the police.

Thank you!

Basically Jack really did not want Gwen after all.

[bk_forever]

That's my theory anyway. =)

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I know. Not a great way to forge a partnership or whatever you want to call it.

[bk_forever]

Jack will take what he can get.

Miracle Day

Gwen: That was your last chance.

Lyn: Yeah? What are you gonna do about it? If you're the best England's got to offer, then God help you.

Gwen: I'm Welsh.

(Then Gwen punches Lyn in the face)

That was the heart of Torchwood?.

I know! I don't know why RTD thought she was so great and compassionate.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I understand being annoyed when people get your nationality wrong but surely Gwen could have found a less aggressive way of dealing with the situation. It would have been fine if Lyn was physically attacking her.

Apparently. It was suppose to look like Gwen was being a bad ass!. I really missed Tosh then.:(

[bk_forever]

RTD just got it wrong every single time. I still miss Tosh!

here!!
Everything is explained.
Now she understands the behavior of Jack. He is not a cretin imbued !!

good fic

[bk_forever]

She does have a much better understanding of Jack and Torchwood now.

Thank you!
