Chapter 2

The meeting ended and Ianto didn't even notice.

"Ianto" Jack bellowed again, the room had a sort of echo since everyone had dispersed

"Ah Yes… ummm coming." He watched as Jack turned and walked down the hall, disappearing around the corner.

Ianto stood, straightening his suit and getting himself in order

He's starting to suspect something , maybe I should stop for a bit….. Just for a little while ….. till it calms down … but could I really stop? Oh but how they felt, Oh so good, and the pleasure from hearing them screamsmirks

He was almost to Jacks office, he had to stop thinking about all of it and focus. He couldn't let Jack suspect anymore. Straightened himself up yet again and entered Jacks office.

"You wanted to see me Jack?"

"Are you ok Ianto? Jack asked

"Yes" he smiles

"You seem a little distracted, not yourself." This is myself Ianto thought

"No everything's fine." Ianto's welsh accent becoming more pronounced and smiles again

"You know if you ever need to talk Ianto I am here." Jack says sincerely, then reaches toward Ianto and pulls him into a tight embrace. Ianto allows himself to melt into Jacks larger form and lays his head on Jacks broad shoulder, enjoying the older mans sent.

Jack slowly retracts from the embrace and gently takes Ianto's head in his 2 hand and plants a delicate kiss on the younger mans lips. They broke apart, Jack staring into Ianto eyes.

"I here for you Ianto always remember that." Jacks right hand cupping the side of his face as his thumb gently caressed his cheek.

Ianto slowly slipped from jacks hands. He turned and walked out of Jacks office.

Jack watched his Lover retreat from his sight.

"Yep something is definitely not right" He muttered to himself quietly

Ianto's mind was racing

Maybe I should tell Jack about the killings? What do you think he would say .. Or do? He'd lock me up down in the vaults….he only knows about the 5.. Nothing about the other 10 that are included.. All together I've killed 15 women .He smirks at the thought. 15 that's all.. And they were all so beautiful.. Each one his own work of art. he mentally chuckles. No I won't tell Jack but I will stop for a bit.. Just till it all blows over.

3 Days later

Jack kept a watchful eye on Ianto, watching for any sudden change in behavior or personality. Nothing seemed odd, Ianto came to work, made coffee did his normal duties, was his normal self from what Jack could see… but he still had this feeling that something was off.

They hadn't found anybodies over the last 3 days and they still hadn't discovered anything with the 5 they had found. Owen thoroughly checked over the bodies and found nothing, other then the time of death for the 5th body was wrong, and that she was actually recently killed not the supposed was killed a few days ago. The 5th body was the body that held all the evidence and yet none at all.

Jack sat in his office, working on paper working that need to be signed or checked, logged the usual. His mind kept wonder to Ianto. He looked up from the paper he had currently in his hand, looking through the glass wall, he watched as Ianto Interacted with Gwen.

He noticed a certain gleam in his eyes.

It seemed predatory, Like he was watching his prey and at any moment he would pounce. Jack continued to observe the 2. They were laughing.. Not sure about what but it seemed to be funny.

"Tosh!" Gwen giggled /yelled

Jacks turned his head seeing Tosh pull away from the flashing computer screen to see what Gwen wanted.

Gwen did a waving motion with her hands calling Toshiko over to the other two, Tosh did a few things with her mouse then slowly walked over to Ianto and Gwen.

Jack watched as the 3 of them Chatted, laughing, giggling about.. He didn't know.. The girls didn't seem to notice the way Ianto was looking at them.. And Jack didn't like it.. He didn't like it on bit.

It's been 3 bloody days and I can't take it anymore…. Ianto thought 3 days and not a single kill.. Not single scream, not a single piece of art. I don't think I can last any longer..

He began talking to Gwen telling her some ridiculous story.. He watched as she laughed..(he joined in once in a while just to restrain him self from hurting her).. His hand griped the key in his pocket.. Drawing blood.. The moisture seeping down his gouged palm, He used the pain as a distraction from her beauty and his erg to kill her, to make her scream, to turn her into a piece of his art. She then proceeded to call Tosh over. He griped the keys tighter, more blood flowed out.

He noticed Jack Watching them and he tried to focus on telling the story again, throw quick glances at jack to see if he suspected anything.

"What are you 3 going on about?" Questioned Owen who was making his way over to the group.

"Ianto was telling me about a time in the tourist office." Gwen explained. Tosh and Her continued to giggle.

Owen rolled his eyes and continued on his way to Jacks office.

Ianto watched as Owen made his was into Jacks office, stopping in front of the desk and then doing various hand gestures.

"Jack" Owen in a respectful manner "Owen" Jack replayed " Anything new on those bodies?" Jack questions.. "Nope still nothing… there clean whoever we're dealing with does this professionally" Owen finished..

That made Jack think…Professionally?
