Decision Time Part 2
Peter Mason was handcuffed and bundled into the back of the SUV, the Torchwood team made their way back to the Hub. They drove in silence. Jack occasionally looking into the rear view mirror, sneaking a peek at Ianto. He smiled to himself, happy in the knowledge that there was something special between them. Something that could grow into a meaningful relationship. Jack was going to make sure it worked.
He had loved Ianto Jones from the moment he set eyes on him. Before he'd even joined Torchwood. Seeing him there, in the park, leaning against that tree for support….knowing that nothing would become of it. How wrong could he have been. He looked into the mirror again. Ianto smiled back. Jack smiled.
Once back at the Hub, Peter Mason was put into a cell next to the Blowfish and Weevils.
"You can't keep me here! I want my lawyer!"
Jack just stood in front of the cell, arms folded across his chest.
"You have no right to hold me here."
Jack shook his head and walked away.
"Come back here! Do you hear me? Come back here!"
Going back into the main area of the Hub, Jack looked around for Ianto. Gwen nodded towards the small kitchen area. He saluted his thanks.
Ianto was busy making coffee for the team.
"Ianto. Busy as usual."
Ianto smiled. "I do my best."
"I was thinking. Maybe we could go out for that meal a little later than we planned."
"I'd like that," replied Ianto.
"So would I. Your choice."
"Maybe a movie and then a takeaway back here."
"Will you be staying the night?"
"If you want me to."
Jack put his hands on Ianto's upper arms. "Yes, I want you to. We don't have to do anything. I just want to hold you."
"I'd like that, too."
Jack removed his hands and stepped back. "I better inform UNIT about Mason. I can't keep him here indefinitely."
"I'll bring your coffee in to you."
"Thanks."
"My pleasure."
Jack went into his office and sat down. He looked at his phone, picked up the receiver and dialled a number. Minutes later, he was back outside calling down to Gwen and Owen.
"Weevils spotted in the multi story car park behind the Millennium Centre. Go check it out. Tosh, bring up the CCTV from out front by the Water Tower."
Jack looked at the screen. People were milling around outside the Centre. Tourists were taking pictures of the silver Water Tower. No Weevils.
"Ianto."
"Jack?"
"Forget the coffee. Get on the lift."
"Jack."
Jack opened his wrist band and punched in a code just after Ianto stood on the platform. It began to rise, and Ianto watched Jack as he came level with him They exchanged a smile.
"Go into the Centre. Look around. Make sure it's clear of Weevils."
"Okay, Jack."
"Keep you coms on."
"Will do."
In seconds, Ianto was outside the Hub, in front of the Water Tower. He waited until there was no one near and stepped off of the platform. He moved off towards the Centre, keeping a close eye on those around him.
Jack watched the screen. Gwen and Owen were inside the multi story car park. He got Tosh to switch channels so he could follow their progress.
"Nothing so far." Gwen said.
"Keep looking. Ianto, anything?"
"Nothing Jack."
"Who told you about the Weevils, Jack?" asked Gwen.
"UNIT got a report of a sighting just as I was phoning them about Mason."
"Are they coming to collect him?"
"No, we have to drop him off at the Police Station. He'll be picked up from there."
"What will 'e be in there for, Jack? What's the charge?" this from Owen.
"Illegally importing aliens." laughed Jack.
"They got that right," returned Gwen.
"Okay, get back here. Pick Ianto up on the way. He's inside the Centre. I'll call him. Ianto?"
"Yes, Jack?"
"Get down to the main door. Gwen and Owen will meet you there in a few minutes."
"Okay. On my way. Jack?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we get a DVD to watch later. Maybe a carry out as well?"
Jack smiled. "Perfect," he replied.
