[For John]
Aug. 4th, 2008 01:13 amHe'd told the Doctor that the killer wasn't John. Couldn't have possibly been John. He'd lied his ass off and sat there with all the confidence of a man who had sold his soul and knew that the devil had his back.
He'd told the Doctor, and that was it. Surely it couldn't have been John...if for no other reason than it was too subtle. John had a style, an art, so unless that girl had just pissed him off, there was no way. And besides, John didn't have a weapon like that. Add to that the fact that if John was killing people, he'd want some kind of recognition for it, even if it was only from Jack.
But then came the second body and that one...that one Jack wasn't sure he could lie convincingly. He wasn't sure he could say dlearly that there was no way it was John, especially not now when the man was off doing gods knew what to gods knew who. He would cover his parter, but he needed to know the truth. No time for accusations, just a point blank question. If they were going to do something the way they used to, Jack needed to be all in.
