A/N: Okay I have resubmitted this story after a review I received said it was difficult to read with all the conversation bunched up together… so here it is all spread out. Hope it helps.
Ianto raced over to where Jack was lying dead, a bullet hole in the centre of his forehead where the weevil had shot him. He tapped his comms in his ear before hauling Jack's head onto his lap and absentmindedly brushed his hand through Jack's hair as he spoke.
"I've found Jack. How's the weevil?" He asked.
"Heavily sedated. Jack?" Gwen asked breathless from chasing the creature through Cardiff's streets.
"Dead. We'll meet you back at the SUV." Ianto said turning off his comms and looking down at Jack.
"Whenever you're ready Jack. I'm not carrying you." He said as he watched the wound on Jack's head heel completely and the colour return to his face. The familiar Harkness gasp filled the otherwise silent street as Jack sat bolt upright. He sat stationary for a few moments before turning his head to look at Ianto.
"What the hell happened?" He asked.
"The weevil was armed for a change and shot you." Ianto explained, getting to his feet and holding out his hand to help Jack up.
"If I was shot why am I not dead?" He asked not moving. Ianto looked down at Jack confused.
"Are you feeling okay Jack?" He asked.
"Jack? My name's not Jack… my names… well… I don't know what my name is… but I'm sure its not Jack. Who are you? And where am I?" He asked.
"Right lets get you back to the Hub. I'll make you a nice cup of coffee. You'll be fine." Ianto said, holding out his hand again. Jack took hold and allowed himself to be pulled to his feet.
"Coffee sounds good…" Jack started.
"Ianto. Its Ianto." The Welshman said.
"Ianto." Jack echoed softly, as if trying to commit the name to memory, as he walked obediently alongside Ianto and they made their way back to the SUV.
"That's alright lads. Don't rush. The weevil wasn't at all hard to get into the boot." Gwen called sarcastically as they approached.
"Sorry." Ianto said as they arrived. "Few problems with Jack." He added.
Jack was peering in the windows of the SUV. "Nice wheels." He said looking back at Ianto. "Thanks." He said bemused.
Gwen looked confused. "What's going on?"
"I have no idea. And for some reason, neither does Jack." Ianto said as Jack peered in the back of the SUV. "What the hell is that?"
"Wow." Jack said as the cog door opened and the three of them walked into the hub, Ianto and Gwen dragging the still unconscious weevil, Jack looking around wide-eyed as if this was his first visit.
"What is this place?" He asked looking once again at Ianto for answers.
"Owen!" Ianto called, dumping the weevil on the battered sofa. Owen popped his head up from the autopsy bay.
"What?" He called.
"Jack's been shot in the head. Can you take a look at him?" Ianto asked.
"He looks fine." Owen said glancing at Jack who was stood staring up towards the ceiling.
"What is that?" He asked pointing at Myfanwy.
"He doesn't recognise the SUV… the Weevil… Myfanwy… the Hub… us… or himself." Ianto explained.
"Or you." Jack said looking at Owen.
"So what… he gets shot in the head… and now you're telling me he has some kind of amnesia?" Owen asked walking up the stairs and heading over to Jack and peering at him.
"I seems that way." Ianto said.
"Random." Owen said looking up at Jack.
"Right I'm gonna put this is the cells… then make coffee." Ianto said hoisting the weevil onto his shoulders and heading in the direction of the cells.
"What should I do?" Jack asked looking at Ianto once more, his eyes looking uncharacteristically scared.
"Owen will look after you." Ianto reassured. Jack nodded a little before Ianto smiled softly and wandered off. Jack turned back to Owen.
"So… what now?" He asked.
Owen shrugged. "I have no idea." He said.
"Aren't you meant to be a doctor?" Jack asked.
Owen sighed. "Jack, as you may or may not remember, you have no medical records. I've never had to examine you or treat you. You generally tend to survive as normal… or at least normal for you. This is rather unusual." He said calmly.
"What do you mean? I've been shot before?" Jack asked.
Owen nodded. "Jack you tend to die five or six times a week. You're immortal." He explained.
Jack's eyes widened. "Immortal?" He whispered.
"What do you mean you don't know how long its going to last?" Ianto asked.
He stood in the autopsy bay with Owen, Gwen and Toshiko.
"I mean just that. I have no idea what's going on with him." Owen said glancing up at Jack who was exploring the Hub.
"But he's our Boss… how are we meant to operate when he knows nothing?" Gwen asked.
Owen shrugged. "We're just going to have to fill him in." He said.
"Fill him in? On his entire life?" Toshiko asked.
"He must remember something." Ianto said. Owen shrugged.
"Right… why don't you three go home. I'll see if I can figure out what we're up against." Ianto said.
"Who put you in charge?" Gwen asked.
"With all due respect, I know him better than all of you put together. And it's gone midnight." Ianto said.
"Come on guys… Ianto is right." Toshiko said as she headed out the autopsy bay.
"Night." Owen called as he left.
"Call me if you need me." Gwen called as she followed Owen out, Toshiko close behind.
Ianto nodded before heading up to Jack's office. Jack was sat at his desk looking lost.
"Everyone's left for the day. How are you feeling?" He asked standing before the desk.
"Strangely fine for a man who was shot in the head earlier. Are you leaving too?" He asked.
Ianto shook his head. "We need to work out what you do remember. Then fill in what you don't." He said.
"And you drew the short straw?" Jack asked.
"I volunteered." Ianto said. "I know you better than most." He added, sitting down on the chair at the opposite side of the desk to Jack.
"You all know me better than I know myself. I can't remember anything Ianto. Its like I was dropped down into the world three hours ago. And now you're all telling me I'm immortal and that my name is Jack and that I work here and I'm meant to be in charge … yet … yet I don't know what I'm in charge of. What is this place?" Jack asked.
"Let me go get some coffee … I think its going to be a long night." Ianto said.
Jack nodded. "Thanks Ianto … for volunteering." Jack said.
Ianto nodded with a soft smile before leaving the office. It was only when he'd made it to the sanctuary of his kitchen that he allowed himself to cry.
AN: Please review... I had all this ideas for where to take this story... just not sure how to get there! Hopefully it wont take long for me to figure something out :)
