Hello! thank you to those of you who reviewed, favourited, and are following this story :) Should mention that to me, COE and miricle day never happened, and Tosh and Owen never died. Someone pointed out that I'd gone and written Rhianna instead of Rhiannon, so I've sorted that :)

BBC owns Torchwood.

It was eleven o'clock by the time Ianto reached his sister's house. The door flew open, and Ianto came face to face with Mica, grinning delightedly. 'Uncle Yan!'

Ianto grinned at Mica, and quickly enveloped her in a big hug. 'Alright Mica sweetheart? No school then?' Mica shook her head, giving her uncle Ianto a grin. 'It's an inset day uncle Yan.' Ianto put Mica down, and the two of them wondered into the house.

'Rhia? It's me love.' Ianto called, walking towards the kitchen, where his sister probably was. Rhiannon looked up from the kitchen table, and gave Ianto a tired smile. 'Alright Yan?'

Giving her brother a quick hug, Rhiannon quickly turned the papers she was looking at over, but Ianto still saw 'final deadline' written in bold red letters. Frowning, Ianto looked closely as his sister. She had bags under her eyes and a look of exhaustion on her face.

Ianto reached over and rubbed her shoulder. 'Everything okay Rhia?' Rhiannon opened her mouth to speak, when David and Mica ran back into the kitchen. 'Uncle Yan, Uncle Yan.' Ianto reached out and gave David a hug. 'Come play with us!' David said excitedly, his uncle rarely came to visit.

Ianto reached down, and with a flourish, presented the children with a carrier bag and a wink. The Kids yelled in excitement, and reaching into the bag, pulled out two large tubes of smarties, a new football for David, and a fluffy toy rabbit for Mica.

They threw their arms around their favourite uncle, and David immediately started trying to drag him towards the garden to play. Suddenly, the door slammed open, and Johnny walked in.

To Ianto's shock, the laughter left Rhiannon's face, and David dropped his grip on his uncle's arm, instead leaning in closer to Ianto, and pressing his face against Ianto's chest. Mica moved closer to her mother. What the hell?

Ianto gave Johnny a smile. He and his brother in law had never really got on, but Ianto had always been polite to Johnny for Rhia's sake. 'Alright Johnny?' Ianto said calmly. 'No work today?'

Obviously that had been the wrong thing to say, as Johnny shot him an angry glare and snapped 'what do you think? Rhiannon, you and the kids need to be quiet, I'm trying to watch the rugby.'

Ianto frowned at Johnny, before turning back to David. 'how about we go try out that new football, eh? David nodded, and grabbing the ball, he ran outside, Mica close behind.

Jack was tired. He had forgotten just how much Ianto did for everyone. When he had told Owen and Gwen that Ianto was taking the day off, Owen had merely shrugged and said 'he needs a day off anyway.' Gwen had automatically moaned about favouritism and the fact that Rhys was upset with her leaving late, but everyone just ignored her.

Jack lay down in his bed, before deciding to see if Ianto was up for some company. He quickly dialled Ianto's number, but frowned when it automatically went to voicemail. That's odd….. thought Jack. Ianto never turns his phone off.

After some internal debate, Jack decided to track his phone, just to make sure he was okay. Logging on to his computer, jack went onto the software and waited for it to find him.

After a minute, the computer pinged, and Jack began to panic when he realised Ianto's phone was stationary in an abandoned car park, a good twenty minutes away from either his sister's house or his own flat.

Jack frantically checked the CCTV, the closest one he could find was at the entrance, pointing out. Quickly bringing up past footage, he located Ianto driving his car into the car park at half past five, about four hours ago, with a tall bloke with dark curly hair in the car with him. About twenty minutes later, the man walked away, back down the road. What the hell is going on?

Jack pulled into the car park, Ianto's car being the only one in there. Jack cautiously mad his way over to the driver's seat, to find the driver and passenger door open, and Ianto's phone lying on the seat. What worried Jack the most was the smashed window, and he could see blood mixed with the shards of glass.

Quickly calming himself from a full blown panic attack, Jack pulled his own phone out and dialled the others; he needed their help.

Rhiannon was just serving breakfast when the doorbell rang. Johnny said 'I'll get it love', and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Ever since Johnny had been laid off of work, he had been moody and emotional, often snapping at her and the kids.

The worst moment had come after a particularly nasty argument, when Johnny had been so mad that he had slapped Rhiannon across the face, resulting in her barricading herself and the kids in Mica's bedroom for three hours.

So it had come as a shock to her when Johnny had come back from the shops the night before, carrying a bouquet of flowers and giving her and the kids a big hug. Johnny walked back into the room, an odd look on his face. 'Rhia, this is Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper, from Torchwood? They have some questions for us.'

Rhiannon was puzzled. 'Torchwood? What's that then?' The woman, Tosh, smiled sadly at Rhiannon and said 'we are a kind of secret service. We have some questions for you about your brother, Ianto Jones.'

Rhiannon was shocked; was her straight laced brother in trouble with the police? Tosh sat down opposite the welsh woman and gently put her hand over Rhiannon's own. 'Listen, your brother, well, he doesn't really work for the civil service. He works for Torchwood.'

Tosh paused, not sure how to explain it without mentioning aliens. Owen decided to help. 'We're a sort of special, top secret unit, so he couldn't tell you that he worked for us, you see.'

Rhiannon nodded, shocked at what she was hearing, but her brother's hectic work schedule, and his unwillingness to discuss his job suddenly making a lot more sense. 'The thing is,' Tosh began gently 'Ianto didn't show up for work today, and we found his car parked in an empty car park, a good few miles away.'

A good few miles away…. Suddenly a horrible thought popped into Rhiannon's head, and, with a quick glance at Johnny, she sent Tosh a look of distress. As if realising this, Tosh said 'Why don't we go for a walk, and you can tell me more about Ianto?' The two women soon left.

When they were a little away from the house, Rhiannon turned to the Japanese woman, and began speaking in a rush. 'You see, my husband needed to go to the shop, so he asked Ianto if he could give him a lift there, as it was on his way. Ianto agreed, and the two of them left. Well, I didn't think anything of it, but when Johnny returned he was acting really weired, and….' At this Rhiannon paused, unwilling to continue. 'He had a shard of glass in his arm. He said he fell onto some glass on the pavement.'

Tosh put her arms around Rhiannon, while the woman cried, repeating 'I'm sorry. Oh my god, Yan, I'm so sorry.

Owen's phone bleeped in his pocket, and extracting it, he saw he had a detailed text from Tosh, telling him all about Johnny. Seeing that the kids were outside, Owen turned to the welshman. 'So, care to explain the glass in your arm? Or, the fact that you failed to mention that Ianto gave you a lift to the shops, but you ended up in a car park with him instead?'

Johnny froze, and Owen could see he was trying to think of an excuse, or an escape route, but Owen flashed Johnny his gun and growled 'I wouldn't risk it, if I were you mate.'

'Look,' Johnny began desperately. 'I have no job, and a family to support. I had no other choice.' Owen leant in the other man's face and snarled 'What the hell did you do to Ianto.' The man paused, so Owen pulled his gun out and growled 'Start talking. Now'

Johnny began to gabble. 'This man, you see, he contacted me yesterday morning. He said, "I can get you money to support your family for life, and you can rebuild the relationship with your wife back up." All I had to do was bring Ianto to the car park, and walk away. But Ianto started getting mouthy with me, and we had an argument, so I was still there when the man arrived. When he and Ianto started to fight, I honestly tried to help Ianto, but the man pulled a gun on me, then knocked Ianto out, threw a suitcase at me, with the money inside, and drove away.'

Owen turned away disgustedly, fear rising for Ianto, but before he could leave he heard Johnny say 'He told me that Torchwood would come. He told me to tell you that he'll be in touch shortly.'

There we go :) next chapter we feature Ianto and the team more heavily. Thoughts are appreciated.
