As Owen got out of his car, he noticed Ianto still sitting behind the wheel of his car. Walking over to it, he knocked on the window. The Welshman seemed to be oblivious to the knocking.
"Oi!" said Owen, knocking a little harder. "Tea Boy!"
Ianto turned his head. His eyes were red rimmed from crying and he looked awful.
Owen opened the door. "What the hell..."
The Welshman collapsed over the wheel, unable to keep the tears at bay.
Owen tapped his com. "Tosh, is Jack in his office?"
"No!" said Ianto looking up, fear in his eyes. "Not...him!"
'Yes' replied Tosh. 'Do you want him?'
The medic frowned at Ianto's reaction. "No, it's okay. Thanks." Owen turned his attention back to the Welshman. "What's wrong, Tea Boy?"
"It's...it's over!"
Owen frowned. "What?"
"Me...and Jack!"
"You and Jack?"
Ianto sniffed then nodded.
"No! You were okay when we all left last night!" He looked over the top of the car at the CCTV camera pointing straight at them. "What happened?"
A shrug and a shake of the head. "I...don't know."
"Well, did you sleep with him last night?"
"Yes."
"Did you have sex?"
Ianto blushed. "Yes."
Owen shook his head, bewildered. "So..."
"He told me to leave. After we had sex, he said it was over. He didn't want me like that anymore."
"But he wanted sex, right?"
The CCTV camera moved, it's lense protruding an inch.
"Let's get you into the tourist office. I think Harkness might be watching us."
Ianto wiped at his eyes. "Sorry."
Owen sighed. "Don't be. It's Harkness who should be sorry!"
Ianto got out of the car, locked it and walked behind his colleague to the tourist office.
Once inside, Ianto's shoulders dropped. "How am I going to face him?"
"The bastard!"
"I don't know what I've done wrong. I tried phoning him, but he hung up on me. Said not to call him again."
Owen shook his head. "But you were okay to shag, right?"
Ianto winced at the word.
"Sorry, mate."
"Has he just been using me?"
"I..." Owen was careful to choose his next sentence. "I thought it was for keeps."
Ianto sighed. "So did I."
"Well, you can't stay in here all day. Better to face him and get it over with."
Ianto knew the medic was right.
They walked through the concealed door, down to the lift. As the door opened, Ianto's jaw dropped.
"My thing! He's packed all my things!"
"Damn that man!" said Owen, punching the 'down' button. "What the hell is wrong with him!"
"I don't know what I've done!"
The lift stopped at the bottom and the door opened. Ianto went to pick up his duffle bag.
"Leave it!" said Owen. "You can pick it up later."
Ianto looked back at the bag, as he walked down the corridor, through the cog door and into the Hub.
Tosh was at her workstation and she greeted both men with a warm smile. Gwen was up in Jack's office. The door was closed.
"She's been up there about ten minutes," Tosh informed them.
"What's she up too?" said Owen.
Tosh frowned.
"Didn't you see the bag in the lift?" asked Owen.
"Yes, but..." Tosh looked from Owen to Ianto. "Oh, it's yours, Ianto. Sorry."
Ianto smiled weakly.
"Jack's ditched 'im!"
"No!" Tosh looked towards the closed office door.
"Yeah. The bastard!"
Ianto stepped from one foot to the other, unsure if he should make the usual round of drinks. He looked towards the kitchenette and moved off.
There was laughter coming from Jack's office, as Gwen opened the door and walked down the stairs. Ianto glared at her, but she tossed her head and walked to her work station. Jack poked his head out of the door and called down, "Ianto, did you get your things? I left them in the lift."
Ianto bit the inside of his lip, but said nothing.
Gwen laughed.
"Cow!" said Owen, under his breath.
Jack moved out onto the gantry. "Was that a 'yes'?"
Ianto didn't turn, just nodded.
"Good."
Tosh walked to stand beside Gwen. "What's going on?"
Gwen just smiled.
