AN: It was suggested that I wrote Ianto's revenge following the events in my other fanfic "Amnesia". You don't have to have read that to appreciate this, but I'd appreciate it if you did!
In "Amnesia" Jack does the worse thing imaginable to Ianto and forgets him… now Ianto gets his revenge… doing the worse thing that Jack could imagine. All's fair in love and war…
"Ianto?" Jack called out from his seat in his office. It was the middle of a "typical" working day at the Hub, or as typical as Torchwood ever was. Owen was dissecting some strange new alien that had fallen through the rift last night, Toshiko was trying to translate the recording they had made of said alien's language, and Gwen was filing her report on the events that had occurred after the alien's arrival. Ianto was missing.
"Ianto?" Jack called out again, louder this time.
"He's not here Jack." Gwen called back, not taking her eyes from her work.
"Where is he?" Jack calls, still not getting up from his seat.
"Do I look like his wife?" Gwen calls back.
Jack grins. "Thankfully not." He said before tapping into the Hub CCTV and searching for the young Welshman. First port of call was the coffee machine; Jack hoped to find him there – he was desperate for one of Ianto's infamous coffees, or just desperate for Ianto, but there was no sign. Next he checked the Archives – Ianto's favourite hiding place. Whenever Ianto went missing he was often found rummaging around in the archives, either filing something away or just nosing around in any of the weird and wonderful relics the team had gathered over the decades. But alas, no sign. Finally he checked the Tourist Information Office. Jack had no idea what Ianto actually did up there for hours on end, but maybe that's where he was. An empty chair behind the desk was all that greeted Jack.
Jack sighed as he stood up and walked out of his office and stood on the runway overlooking the Hub and his team.
"When did you last see Ianto?" He asked to anyone that would listen.
Toshiko touched the mug on her desk before answering. "From the temperature of that… couple hours ago." She said looking up at Jack who frowned.
"Anyone else?" Jack asked.
"Afraid not." Gwen said whilst Owen just shrugged.
"Cheers guys – helpful." Jack said as he wandered back into his office. Grabbing his coat from the stand in the corner he pulled it on before grabbing the keys to SUV and walking back out and jogging down the stairs.
"If he turns up get him to call me." He said as he crossed the Hub heading towards the cog door.
"If you're after a coffee I can make you one." Gwen said looking at Jack, confused by his sudden urgency.
"When does Ianto go anywhere without telling anyone?" Jack asked, meaning himself.
"Never." Gwen said softly.
"Precisely." Jack said. "If he shows up get him to call me." He repeated, before walking through the cog door and heading up the stairs to the Tourist Information Office. The door was locked and the 'Closed' sign swung gently in the window of the door. Jack unlocked the door walking out onto the dockside and closed the door behind him before heading towards the SUV. As he walked he pulled his mobile from his coat pocket and speed-dialled Ianto.
"The mobile you have called may be switched off. Please try again later." Jack sighed as the automated voice spoke. Hanging up he rang Ianto's flat, but after several rings he received no answer but the equally irritating automated answer phone, though it was good to hear Ianto's voice.
"Hey you've reached Ianto… I'm probably at work… so leave me a message and I'll call you back… if I ever get home at a reasonable hour."
Jack smiled as he listened to the message. "Ianto its Jack. Can you call me when you get this?" He hung up before stuffing his phone back into his pocket and climbing in the SUV.
"I don't know where you are Ianto Jones… but I'm gonna find you." He said half-mischievous and half-worried. Like he's said, it was totally out of character for Ianto to leave the Hub without telling someone… namely Jack… where he was going.
"Calm down Harkness… he's probably…" He started, but he couldn't fill in the gap. He didn't know where Ianto probably was. Outside of the Hub and work, where did Ianto go? Jack turned the ignition and put the SUV into gear before speeding off, heading for Ianto's flat.
