‘Hey you nearly done here?’
‘Yup just about.’
Ianto cleaned off his hands of all the oil and sweat from his task. He had just finished making the… well what ever it was Dr Cai had wanted him to make. Rick held out a hand and helped the young man up. He let out a low whistle as he circled the large machine in front of him.
‘I gotta say Jones you’ve done a pretty job here. Dr Cai will be impressed.’
‘I hope so; I’ve put everything into this for weeks. I’m shattered.’
Rick glanced around the hub making sure no one was around before leaning in and capturing Ianto’s lips in a quick yet loving kiss. The two men had grown extremely close. Both Rick and Ianto had started it off as nothing more than a meaning less fling but some how both men realised they needed one another more than could be seen at first.
‘Ianto Jones I do believe your beginning to feel at home here.’
‘Why of course I am with you around.’ Ianto smiled. Truly smiled and clung to Rick like a child with his oldest, most loved toy.
They still had to be careful though, as it turns out Dr Cai was fairly homophobic and when he heard of Ianto and Jack’s ‘fling’ he was extremely shocked and had been keeping a close eye on the young man. But Rick didn’t see a reason to worry. Dr Cai was, as usual, sat in his office with a mile of paper work.
‘So Mr. Jones will I have the pleasure of walking you home again tonight?’
‘Why of course, just hold on a second I better go see Dr. Cai and tell him I’ve finished.’ Ianto’s face spread into a large proud grin. He hoped Dr. Cai liked it, after all he’d spent A LOT of time on it and it was pretty much exact to the blue prints.
He crept down the stairs and knocked gently on the door.
‘Dr. I’ve finished.’
‘Really?’ Dr Cai pulled his head from behind a pile of sheets. The old Japanese gentleman felt very impressed but his emotions contradicted so much that he just went back to work.
‘Is that all Ianto?’
‘Oh yes sir.’ Ianto felt disappointed as he left but he could at least relax for a while with Rick, go to the pub even.
Cai rounded his desk watching the CCTV as the two men left arm in arm, his face twisted into one of disgust. If he didn’t need them both they would have been dead long ago. He went into the main hub and was taken back by the machine that stood in front of him. It was just as he had imagined large enough to intimidate but easy enough to carry. It looked like some sort of large jet pack, probably built for a giant. A broad grin spread from ear to ear as he realised just how well his plans were going. Pulling out the photo from his pocket he felt his heart tighten. He was truly going to get revenge. A soft hand rounded his shoulder and gave him a small squeeze.
‘It’s going to plan isn’t it Doctor?’
He smiled down at the young woman staring up at him.
‘All thanks to you Aimee. You and our new little friend. As they say keep your friends close…’
‘And your enemies closer. We will get revenge on them. He won’t have died in vain. We will get revenge for his death.’
She smiled wickedly running a hand over the photo.
In it stood three people. Dr Cai, Aimee and Dr Tanizaki.
PART 10:
‘So then d’you know what Dr Cai wants with the machine?’
‘Not sure really, he has lotsa little projects on the go at the moment.’
Rick and Ianto walked arm in arm along the pavement, the cool night air whirling around them. Ianto shivered slightly as his jacket had been too coated in oil to be wearable.
‘Come here.’
Rick wrapped his arms tightly around the young man brushing a kiss onto his forehead. They walked for several more minutes until they reached their usual hang out. Aimee, Rick and Ianto generally met there after work but tonight was a Wednesday, a night when Rick and Ianto generally spent time ‘together’.
‘Right then Jones go find yourself a seat and I’ll get the round, yea?
Ianto wandered off after taking Rick’s jacket for him and found a small booth to sit in toward the corner.

Jack downed yet another scotch before leaning back in his chair. He had been at the pub for well over an hour and was fast getting drunk. That’s why when he saw a young, tall (not to mention gorgeous) Welsh man walk through the door he swore it was Ianto. He even fell off his chair as he tried to blink back the drunken haze that clouded his eyes. He wasn’t that drunk was he? Not so drunk hat he would imagine things like this.
‘Are you ok fella?’
A handsome man held out a friendly hand to help Jack up. Jack took it and pushed himself off the floor. Looking around quickly he noticed ‘Ianto’ had vanished from view and half expected it to be the scotch.
* * * * * * * *
Rick helped the man to his feet before watching him down the last of his drink. He was all ready to walk away when suddenly it hit him. This was Ianto’s Jack, Captain Jack Harkness! Rick felt his stomach do a sudden twist. If he saw Ianto or vice versa then Cai wouldn’t be happy. But Rick had gotten to know Ianto. He now knew that he was such a compassionate and considerate young man. A young man that so obviously missed this man in front of him, that yearned to be in contact with him again. He was torn. He wanted Ianto to be happy… so he could take Jack to Ianto and let them sort out the problems then go back to TIC and face his punishment, or he could leave it. Keep Ianto to himself and cherish him far more than the drunk who sat before him.
‘Listen mate you might wanna take it easy on the drinks.’
‘Thanks for the advice kid but I know my limit.’
‘Ehem, I’m far from a kid thank you very much. I just well I have some advice for you.’ Rick pause and looked over to his lover. ‘Just, open your eyes, see what you have and if you get it back don’t let it go yea?’
Jack looked on confused before Rick left for the bar.
* * * * * * * * * *
‘You took your time.’
Ianto leant over the table giving Rick a very loving yet equally as sloppy kiss. Whilst he placed their drinks on either side of the table.
‘Listen Yan… you need to go back to TIC tonight not to mine. Go there and just I don’t know tinker with that machine of yours for a couple of hours because there might be someone coming to see you.’
Ianto went to interrupt but Rick just shushed him and continued.
‘You’ll know who they are and what to do when it all comes to it so just finish your drink and… see you soon handsome.’
Rick smiled broadly desperate for his true feelings to show and left for the bar making sure to send a couple more drinks Jack’s way. Then he left leaving a very confused Ianto behind.
* * * * * * * * * *
Jack was no stranger to free drinks but this many meant that he would be there for a long time. Not that he had anything else to do. He rarely slept and when he did the only thing that flashed behind his eyelids for the past month was Ianto. Downing another drink Jack was on the verge of leaving when he spied the same Ianto look-a-like from before. This time he was almost sure it was the drink but decided to pursue non-the less. Just in case it wasn’t Ianto Jack hung back just following the gentleman ahead of him. And then even if it was Ianto what would he say? He needed to know what the young man was up to.
Following him further he saw the young man round a corner and disappear into a large building. Waiting to collect himself Jack tried to fight back the urge to throw up due to too much alcohol. Then after a few deep breaths he headed toward the building. As he entered there was no immediate security just a few locked doors that with a little work Jack got through with ease. He had obviously reached his destination as he reached some sort of basement. The long hallway led to a large metal door. Feeling cocky that he had now found his way through the maze like building Jack swaggered drunkenly forward until a laser suddenly cut his leg. Flying backwards in shock Jack clutched his shin and stared forward. Yea whoever took Ianto definitely didn’t want any unwanted guests. Jack went forward to inspect what he had to deal with but in his drunken state he stumbled forward falling onto the laser minefield.
