Summary: It was a simple job to get them rich. When one of their own betrays them killing a dear friend in the process, Jack Harkness wants to get payback. His plan: to steal back what was stolen from them.
Chapter 5 Celebrating Too Soon?
In the snow-covered mountain just forty kilometers outside of Austria, the gang celebrate on the side of the road by opening up bottles of champagne for each of them. The Doctor gathers them in a circle as he prepares to speak.
“I want to propose a toast. To us.”
“Yeah!” The gang clink their champagne bottles together. “And I want to propose a toast to Jack. Because we just stole seventy million worth of gold without even holding a gun because he planned this down to a ‘T’. Nobody else could have done that. Nobody!” Jack blushed slightly. “Thank you.”
Mickey clapped his gloved covered hand together as he hollered. “So come on, gentlemen. Shopping list. Who’s doing what? Spare no dirty detail.” All the men laughed as the Doctor spoke first. “Take a lesson from an old man. Don’t spend it, invest.”
“In what?” Mickey ask.
The Doctor chuckled lightly. “In gold.” Everybody laughs.
“All right. Let’s figure out how to get out of here first?” Jack ends the conversation following the Doctor as he leaves the group to head towards the edge of the mountain. Mickey decides to continue his conversation without Jack and the Doctor turning his attention towards Owen. “What are you getting, Owen?” Owen just shrugs. “I don’t know there’s a lot of things you can buy with that kind of money. You know, I’m just thinking about naked girls in leather seats...Suppose I’ll get the Aston Martin Vanquish? Their’s a lot of things a girl won’t do on the passenger seat of one of those things.” Andy smiles as he tells them what he wants to spend his money on. “I’m going to get a NAD T 770 digital decoder with a seventy watt ample burr brown DACS.” Everyone just stares at Andy like he just spoke in another language. “It’s a big stereo. Speakers so loud, they blow women’s clothes off.” Owen clinks Andy’s bottle. “Now you’re talking.” Mickey just shook his head.
“Seventy million and you can’t get more creative. I’m going to Andalucía, south of Spain. Get me a big house, filled with a first edition library, and a room for my shoes.” Mickey turned towards John. “What about you, John?” John just shrug his shoulders. “I don’t know. I haven’t decided yet.”
“You haven’t decided. Is it the mountain air?” Mickey asked shocked.
“I like what you said I’ll take one of each of yours.” The others laughed as they clinked their bottles again in agreement. “Well two of everything for John.” Owen said.
Near the edge of the mountain stood the Doctor and Jack listening to the laughter of the others behind them. Jack stared up at the Doctor. “Loved the toast.” The Doctor laughs. “But you could’ve pulled this with you eyes closed.” Jack finished. The Doctor shook his head as he stared back at Jack. “No, you were incredible. You saw the whole picture and covered all the angles.” The Doctor looked out towards the mountains appreciating the scenery. “You know Jack there are two kinds of thieves in the world: the ones who steal to enrich their lives, and the ones who steal to define. Don’t be the latter. Makes you miss out on what‘s really important in life.” Jack looked at the Doctor in shock. “What are you talking about, Doctor? You’ve been a good father.” The Doctor shook his head. “Sitting in prison doesn’t make you a good father. I spent half my kid’s life in prison. Don’t get to be my age with nothing but this, Jack.” He looked back at Jack staring into his eyes as he finished. “Find somebody you want to spend the rest of your life with and hold onto them forever.” John interrupted their moment as he shouted from the car. “Hey! Let’s go. I’m freezing my ass off here.” The Doctor continued to look at Jack. “I love you kid. You were really great.”
“Thanks Doc.”
They drove through the mountains laughing and telling stories in the van. The road was next to the water that led to a dam. They continued driving until they were on the bridge of the dam. As they started reaching the middle of the bridge, they began to notice a SUV driving down the middle of the road. They didn't notice the truck behind. Owen swore. "Look at this idiot, right in the middle of the road." They stopped the car as they couldn't pass. "What's this?" The Doctor asked when he saw that they were boxed in. Men with guns ran out of the cars surrounding them. Some of the men opened the back of the van, pulling the bags of gold out. John, sitting in the front passenger seat, pulls out his gun and aims it at Owen. "Take your hands off the wheel." Jack looked at John in shock and shouts at him. The Doctor tried to open the side door to get out and confront John. However, John was faster as he jumped out of the car and stopped the Doctor in his path aiming the gun at him. "No Doctor."
"What the hell are you doing, John?" John just smirked at them.
"Made a few plans of my own." The Doctor glared at John, anger radiating from his eyes.
"There's nowhere you can go where we won't find you, John."
John just continues to smirk. "That's probably right Doctor." As the words finished coming out of his mouth, John shot the Doctor three times in the chest. Everyone is too shock to speak. Jack, however, reels back from the shock quicker then the others pulling the Doctor into the van. "Go Owen!" Owen hits the gas turning the van towards the water crashing into the barrier of the bridge and sending the van into the freezing waters below. The guys gasped when they hit the icy waters. The gunmen and John follow shooting at the van. The men stay close to each other, holding there breathes for dear life, as the bullets whiz by them. The men continue to shoot until the van is fully under the water. John grabs one of the men’s semi-automatics shooting at water for good measure. By this time, the guys have found the oxygen mask from when they were breaking into the safe, to breathe. They knew they needed to get out. Jack takes the Doctor’s body and releases it so it floats to the top. This seems to satisfy John.
The gang heads down the river to a nearby patch of land to dry off. Jack continues to clutch onto the Doctor’s body. Tears steaming down his face. He couldn’t believe this had happen. It was suppose to be an easy job. No one was suppose to get hurt, especially not the Doctor. It was his fault. His teacher, no the Doctor was like a father to him, was gone. Sadness turned to anger as Jack gritted his teeth. John did this.
A hand lands on Jack’s shoulder. Jack doesn’t turn around.
“We need to go, Jack.” Owen says. Jacks know, but he can’t. He had to through. He had to make sure they got home. Jack nodded getting up. He stared back at the bridge. He was going to get John. He made that promise to himself.
