Tosh went up the stairs and into Jack's office with a cup of coffee in one hand, and a file in the other.

"Jack? Do you have a minute?"

"Sure thing Tosh. What's up?"

"Well, first of all, here is your coffee."

"Thank you."

"Secondly, I need you to sign this."

"Done."

"And thirdly I need you to stay away from Ianto for the next 24 hours."

"What? Why?"

"I know it's gonna be hard, but if you leave him alone for 24 hours, he might come to his senses again. And don't think it's something Gwen or I came up with. Trust me on that. When Ianto came out of your office and slammed the door, he said he'd be fine if you stayed away for that period of time."

"But…."

"Jack! There is one thing you don't know, and I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet. The reason Ianto is so mad at you, is because he's in love with you, and he was in love with you when you left. Right now he feels abandoned, and you know as well as I, that he has a right to. You left less than 2 hours after waking up from the dead, and after kissing him, how you you think that makes him feel. Like I said before right now he feels abandoned and worse than that, he feels like he's not enough, and that makes him wonder if he'll ever be enough. He loves you, and he has a right to be mad, don't you think?"

"You know it might have been 3 months for you, but it was a year for me. And you wanna know what I couldn't stop thinking about? Ianto. He was always on my mind, no matter where I was, or how much pain I was in, and believe me I was in a lot of pain."

"Why? Why won't you tell us what happened to you?"

"You don't wanna know what happened to me, trust me on that."

"Yes we do. We care about you Jack. Hell even Owen cares about you."

"You really wanna know what happened? Fine. I spend the last year being tortured in a parallel universe. And you wanna know one of the things they did? They tracked you all down, and killed you slowly in front of me. All that pain from being shot and poked was nothing compared to the pain of seeing the people I care about being murdered right in front of my eyes. So there you go. Bet you're glad you asked huh."

Tosh ran around the desk and pulled Jack into a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry. Nobody should ever have to see all their loved ones being murdered in front of them. But I do have one question. Did you know the person who tortured you?"

"No, not really."

"Then how did they know about us?"

"He could read my mind, and trust me I tried to block him out, but he was to strong. But I really did try, I swear I tried."

"Jack it's okay. You did what you could, and in the end it turned around, so it's okay."

Tosh gave Jack another hug, before pulling back.

"I'll talk to him, okay?"

Jack just nodded, and watched Tosh leaving his office.
