How to Get Out of a Hostage Situation by the darkness revealed

The bell above the door to the Tourist Office jingled, signaling the entrance of a customer. Ianto sighed quietly and looked up from his newspaper, putting his best 'friendly tourist-office worker' smile on. The smile instantly fell off his face when he saw who had come in.

"Hey there, eye candy," Captain John Hart grinned, pulling out a gun and pointing it at him. "Arms up on your head, and turn around, please."

Rolling his eyes, Ianto did so, flinching as he felt the gun press into his back.

"Excellent. Now move nice and slowly to the Hub. No funny business, or I'll shoot," John murmured, his breath hot against Ianto's neck.

Ianto carefully pressed the button that opened the entrance and moved into the corridor leading to the Hub.

'Well, here I am again, in yet another hostage situation,' he thought to himself.

He really hated Mondays.

Jack looked up with an eager grin as the lights above the Hub entrance flashed and the alarms blared; Ianto must be coming in.

"Ianto!" He called happily. "Just in time! I really would like some cof—"

He broke off when he saw just who Ianto was with.

Captain John Hart was standing behind Ianto, with a gun obviously pressed against Ianto's back; Ianto's arms were on his head, and he had his emotionless mask in place.

Owen, Tosh, and Gwen looked up from their work and gasped when they saw the situation. Jack jumped up and ran toward the pair, mind working furiously on how to get the gun away from Ianto.

"Uh-uh," John said, pressing the gun harder into Ianto's back. "Stop right there, pretty boy, or eye candy gets it."

Jack skidded to a stop and glared at John, wanting nothing more than to walk over there and punch his face in. He looked at Ianto, who, to Jack's surprise, was smirking slightly. Jack gave him a confused look.

Ianto mouthed, 'Don't worry, I have a plan."

Jack stood back and waited, wondering what on earth Ianto was going to do. He was barely aware of the others behind him, looking on worriedly.

Ianto's smirk became more pronounced. Suddenly, he turned around and faced John. John looked taken aback, the gun still pointed straight at Ianto.

Ianto lunged forward and pressed his lips against John's. The others gaped as Ianto proceeded to kiss John thoroughly, pressing his body fully against John's. Finally, he broke away, panting slightly. Looking triumphant, he held up the gun that he had cleverly taken away from John while John was occupied by the kiss.

John, still looking rather befuddled by the kiss, just stared dumbly.

Jack shook away his shock and leapt forward, tackling John. Once John was safely on the floor with Jack's knee pressing on his back, Jack looked up at Ianto.

"Wow," he said, and Ianto grinned.

"Well, you always said I was a good kisser," he replied, and Jack laughed.
