Room #226 Late Wednesday Night
Vala lay awake next to a softly-snoring Cam once more.
Professor Cregg's wild ambush in the hallway earlier had just made her furious. Too furious to even hear what the woman was saying. She thought I was trying to mess with Jack's head? Sorry, Jack, but I think you got adopted by a psycho!
But after a while cooling off painting her nails with Aeryn, Janet, and Bridge... and then a run-in with Jack himself (where she'd actually been able to do something to help him again!)... she'd started thinking back, sifting through the professor's vicious words for bits that actually made some sense....Ten can reverse it if he had an accurate idea of what did it...
...Time is running out. Ten needs to know. He says he can reverse it, and I believe him...
Finally the pieces snap together in her head. The thing Petit gave her. They need the time-thingy! Ten has some way to reverse this! And they need it now....
Vala sat straight up in bed, patting Cam soothingly as he started to wake up at her sudden movement. Quietly, she slipped out of bed and into the first warm clothes she could locate in the dark. Pulling the Victoria's Secret box from under the bed, she opened it just enough to be sure the device was still in there, gingerly wrapped in tissue.
She then snuck quietly out of the room and headed for the park. She didn't know how they even knew she had the device, or why they hadn't just asked for it. Jack must have told them before....
But if they already knew about everything anyway, then at least she wasn't endangering them by involving them in this whole mess. And if there was any chance that The Doctor could reverse this, Vala was willing to take it.
Besides the thing scared her to death anyway...
