Rating: R for disturbing subjects
Time Period: Modern
Location: Martha's room in the castle (
Loft, I believe!)
Relative Date: A few days after the party, after
Alexei killed Basil and Martha, Eddie and Jack came to deal with the mess and after
Martha and Eddie watched Basil's body disappearStatus: Closed for now
Jack had finally, with great relief, managed to hand Alexei over to Willow and escaped to call Martha. He wouldn't normally have had a problem taking responsibility for looking after the boy, but this was the second time in two days that Eddie and his questionable methods had posed a problem and to Jack's mind, that needed dealing with urgently. As did making sure Martha was coping all right dealing with her friend's death.
Fortunately, he could combine both with a visit to Martha. He gave her a quick call as he departed from Alexei's room, discovered she was in her room and headed along to join her, talking on his phone to
Spike and
the Doctor on his way.
Arrived at Martha's room, he rapped lightly on the door with his knuckles and called softly, "Martha, it's Jack."
