Chapter 1
Ianto moved a few papers from the edge of Jack's desk, setting them in front of him for him to sign, taking their place on the end of the desk. He wondered how he would get the other man to agree to what he wanted, he couldn't just get something out of the box Andy directed them to every time he wanted something, it just wouldn't be practical. He thought about the different ways he could broach the subject while Jack worked his way through the stack of paperwork. As Jack signed the last form he turned to Ianto, "What is it? Something's not right with you at the moment."
Ianto sighed, "I'm fine, but I need a few days off. The family are going up to Glasgow to visit with one of our cousins and are insisting that I join them."
Jack just nodded, "When do you need off, I can work it out easily, on the condition that you do one piece of Torchwood business for me while you are there."
Ianto looked at him; shock on his face at the fact Jack was going to allow him to go, "Wednesday to Saturday. What is it you need me to do while I'm there?"
It was Jack's turn to look nervous, "It's not dangerous, or anything." Jack began, the 'I hope' wasn't missed by Ianto. "I just need you to deliver some documents to Torchwood Two."
Ianto let out a sigh of relief, "That's all. Not a problem, sir." He replied with a cheeky smile, "Anything sensitive?"
Jack let a lascivious grin cross his face at the question thinking of all the ways in which he could answer that question before replying, "Expense forms to be filled and some personnel files."
"Personnel files, Two isn't expanding is it?" Ianto queried, it was the first he had heard of it, and he was sure that he would have heard somehow.
"No. However, Archie is feeling the need for some reason to look over who I have on staff, with the exception of you. As he is just 'curious' or so he says I will allow it." Jack answered.
Ianto snorted, curious was about right. He wondered what sort of things that Archie wanted to find out about Gwen, Owen and Toshiko, but then again he could probably guess. How the man had heard about the connections between Owen and Toshiko to the family was a mystery. Then again, Archienius was a mystery himself at times, the only living descendent of their great uncle Hartmut and he was just as mad as the mad scientist of the family.
"You do realise that he could access them without you sending him them, don't you?" Ianto stated.
Jack just stared at him, waiting for him to expand upon his statement.
"Cousin Archienius is a better hacker than Toshiko, although don't tell her I said that, she'd hurt me." Ianto replied.
"Cousin?" Jack questioned. "Is there anyone else I should know that you're related to?"
"Yes, cousin. And not that I can think of anyway." Ianto replied. He knew he probably shouldn't have just dropped that on Jack, but he had never found an opportune time before to tell him that the strange little man in Glasgow was his cousin.
