Chapter Ten

Jack glanced up at the clock, and tried Ianto's cell again. Nothing. He searched through the numbers until he found Rhys.'

'Rhys, it's Jack.' He paused for a moment. 'Wait, Ianto's not with you?' He left me straight after you sent that text. Where the hell is he? Of course, I'll let you know, and if you can help. Bye.'

XXXXX

Gwen sat and sulked as she typed on the computer. She was so sure that things would go her way. Things were so different now. If she could go back in time and make a move on Jack back when she first arrived, she would have. Then he would be hers. She looked up as Jack stormed down the stairs into the hub. It was obvious that something was wrong.

'Jack?'

'Ianto's missing.' Jack replied bluntly.

'Are you sure?' Gwen queried.

Jack glared at her. 'Ok, let's just leave your feelings out of this for a moment. It's Ianto, would he just vanish without saying anything.'

Gwen bit at her lip as much as she wanted to say yes that would be a lie. 'No, he wouldn't. When did you last see him?' She turned back to the computer to see if she could find any cameras in that area. When Jack hadn't said anything, she turned back to him.

'You're not going to like it.' He stated simply.

'Ok, so where was he?'

'Rhys had texted him earlier wanting to meet him for breakfast.' Jack gave her the address, and watched as her face hardened and she turned away.

'There is a camera just down the road from there.' Gwen continued to type.

Jack moved forward and stared at the screen from earlier that morning. They watched as Rhys on his mobile, walked into the café.

'That was when he text Ianto.' Jack stated. 'Forward it a little.'

'Oh god.' Gwen whispered. She stopped the recording so they could see the image on the screen.

'I'm going to kill him.' Jack muttered as they saw John Hart kidnap Ianto Jones. Jack finally managed to tear his gaze from the screen and look down at his wrist strap. He flips the top open and clicked a few buttons.

'What are you doing?' Gwen wanted to know.

'I'm finding out where John is. I'm then going to make him pay, and if he has hurt Ianto. Then I will make sure he's going to wish he had never met me.' Jack turned to look at her. 'If you doing anything to risk Ianto's life...'

Gwen looked at him shocked. 'I wouldn't want anything to happen to Ianto. He's my team-mate.'

'So you get upset at him being physically hurt, but emotionally you don't care?' Gwen opened her mouth to answer when Jack held up his hand. 'Do you know what, it doesn't matter? Arm up and let's go get Ianto.'

XXXXX

John smirked now at Ianto. The Welshman was on the floor. His face was a bleeding mess where he had been beaten severely.

'He's mine.' John muttered as he kicked Ianto in the chest, and grinned as the young man curled in on himself.

Ianto tried to breath, there was shooting pains through this chest. He was sure he felt some ribs breaking. 'He's not a possession.' Ianto whispered he barely managed to get the words out.

'He's mine.' John grabbed Ianto and pulled him up off the ground and slammed him into a wall. He chuckled at the grunt of pain that came from the man who had everything he wanted, and deserved.

XXXXX

Jack and Gwen stood outside an old abandoned building. He turned to look at her.

'Gwen I need Ianto, I love him. I can't lose him.' Jack begged. 'Please help me save him.'

Gwen nodded all she was concentrating on now was the rescue of Ianto. She couldn't dwell on anything else. Everything else would have to be dealt with later.

Jack was glad that she was on board with saving Ianto. He didn't think everything else was sorted out, but that didn't matter. As long as his lover was by his side he could deal with anything.

'Let's go.' Gwen said as she moved with her boss.

XXXXX

'I can't wait for him to find you lifeless body.' John wrapped his hands around Ianto's neck and began to squeeze.

Ianto struggled as hard has he could. He was still so weak from the beating he had taken earlier. His fingers struggled to get some leverage on John's hands so he could push them away. The hands were so tight; he started to feel as if he were starting to fade.

XXXXX

'Ianto.' Jack yelled as he saw the fight leave Ianto's body. He ran across to John and pulled him away from his loved. He then slammed him up against another wall and wrapped his own hands around John's throat and started to squeeze. Anger ran through his body. This man had tried to take his Ianto away from him.

John struggled against Jack's grip, but it was no good he could not break the hold. He began to fade away, and he looked into the immortal's face. There was nothing there but hate.

Gwen rushed to Ianto's side. He had landed heavily after John was pulled away from him. She knelt down beside Ianto; she helped him to move to a slightly more comfortable position.

'Jack.' Ianto choked out.

Ianto's voice broke through Jack's mist of hate. He released John and rushed to his lover's side. As soon as Ianto feels Jack's arms go around him, he knows he is safe. He then falls into the unconsciousness that had been calling to him.

XXXXX

Jack paced as they waited to hear how Ianto was. If only he had got there earlier.

'He's going to be ok Jack.' Gwen whispered as she wrapped her arm around his waist.

'Get away from me.' Jack growled as he pushed her away.

Gwen's eyes were wide with shock.

Rhys walked in with two coffees. He walked passed Gwen ignoring her. She looked down at the ground. Even after everything she had done it still hurt for him to act as if she wasn't there.

'Do you know anything?' Rhys asked as he hands Jack a coffee.

'Nothing, they haven't told me fucking nothing.' Jack shouts. A nurse walked passed them and glared at him.

'Please keep the noise down.' She asked politely.

'I'll go and see if I can find anything out.' Rhys offered and wandered off to try and find someone to speak to.

XXXXX

It's not much later when Rhys arrived back with a doctor next to him.

Jack smiled in relief when he got told that Ianto will be fine, but he would hurt for a bit with cracked ribs and bruised kidneys.

'Don't worry I'll keep an eye on him.' Jack grinned.

'What about Torchwood?' Gwen asked they didn't have any staff.

'Ianto's more important that Torchwood.' Jack muttered.

'How about I take some time off work mate? I'll keep an eye on Ianto for a few days while you're at Torchwood?'

'I'll talk to Ianto first, it is up to him.' Jack glared at Gwen as he walked away.

XXXXX

It had been a quiet day for Torchwood. Jack had been so pleased. They still had plenty of work to do, but there was nothing dangerous going on. Jack had been glad that they hadn't seen anything of John.

'Jack, can we talk now that everything is back to normal. Well, normal for us.'

Jack sighed and turned to look at her. 'What is there to talk about Gwen? I wish you would give this up.'

'I think if you gave us a chance, you would see what I'm talking about.'

'Haven't you learnt anything from this? John thought he and I would be perfect together. His jealousy almost killed Ianto. What you want does not matter. What you think means fuck all. It's what I want. I want Ianto, and I am lucky that he wants me back. We are entirely different people. This image that you have of me isn't real. You don't know half of the things I have done in my very long life.'

'Does Ianto know these things?' Gwen spat out.

'Yes, he does.' Jack laughed at her shocked expression. 'What do you think that we only have sex? Don't get me wrong we do have a lot, but we are together 24/7, so we talk as well. We do that more now. I never want Ianto to doubt how I feel about him. This is the last time talk about this.'

Gwen sat down in a chair and started to sob. She knew that she couldn't bring it up again. She had tried to have everything, and ended up with nothing but her job. Gwen would have to keep quiet she couldn't lose Torchwood as well.

XXXXX

Jack opened the door of the flat. He stopped as he heard Ianto and Rhys laugh. A huge smile appeared on his face. It was time he joined his family.

The End
