Chapter 3

"Jack?" Tosh's voice came through the comms, interrupting his paperwork. Ok, so he hadn't really gotten much paperwork done. Most of his time was spent thinking about Gwen and Ianto.

"Yes Tosh?"

"Could you come take a look at this artifact if you have a second?" Her polite voice always made him smile.

"Of course, I'll be right there." He left his office to go see Tosh and stopped short as he was about to pass the med bay.

"I was wondering if you'd wanna get a drink sometime. You know, after work or something?" He heard Owen's nervous voice. He never thought he would hear Owen nervous but who was he talking to? Jack wondered. Maybe he was finally asking Tosh out. Jack smiled at the possibility.

"Is there a reason for this? We haven't done drinks in a while and it was usually at my place." When Jack heard Ianto's voice his smile dropped. It couldn't be. Not Owen too..Owen wasn't even into men, was he? And when had Owen and Ianto have drinks before? And why were they at Ianto's place usually for drinks? He heard Owen whisper something but he couldn't make out what it was.

"Alright, I suppose it could be fun." What?! Jack wanted to scream. He didn't want to hear anymore so he stormed off to go help Tosh. Owen watched proudly out of the corner of his eye.

Jack was sitting in his office fuming about Gwen and Owen trying to steal Ianto. Then was fuming because of the fact that Ianto seemed to be reciprocating! How could Ianto do that to him? Then Jack remembered that they were just having sex. He cursed himself for making this arrangement with Ianto. Ianto wasn't his because what they had was just sex, just a meaningless shag. He didn't have a right to be mad but that didn't mean he wasn't. A rift alert interrupted his thoughts and he was thankful for the distraction.

"There's an unknown rift energy in Splott," Tosh informed him when he made it downstairs.

"Alright, Gwen, Owen, with me. Tosh keep us updated on movement, if any, and Ianto stay and help Tosh." With that the trio was off.

"You're almost at the location. There still hasn't been any movement."

"Well let's hope for the best," Jack hoped as he pulled into the parking lot of the building. They entered the building, guns drawn.

"It's 74 meters to your left," Tosh informed them. The tension was high as it always was when they didn't know what they were dealing with. It was quite, the only sound was the breathing of the Torchwood team.

"It should be right in front of you." The team looked down to find a little furry box looking thing sitting innocently on the floor.

"It looks like a furry box," Jack informed Tosh and Ianto while Owen scanned the artifact.

"It's safe," Owen said when the scan finished. They placed it in a container and headed back to the car.

"We're on our way back," Gwen's voice had a slight edge of excitement thought it was only noticed by Tosh and Owen.

"See you soon."

Jack was pleased with how the mission went. To be honest he was just glad nothing big happened. His day had been back enough already. He couldn't believe Gwen and Owen were trying to make a move on Ianto. He was thankful for Tosh at the moment. She seemed to be the only one he could trust with Ianto.

"Jack, let's take the invisible lift," Owen suggested.

"Why?" They usually didn't take the lift unless they needed to take down something heavy.

"Well, we haven't used it in a while and it might get..uh..rusty or something," Owen finished lamely. Jack looked suspicious but agreed. He'd have to watch Owen carefully. His Owen watching was interrupted as he heard giggles come from below him. He looked down to find Ianto twirling Tosh around as If they were at a ball. As Ianto romantically dipped Tosh and they smiled at each other Jack was steaming. Gwen and Owen could have sworn the actually saw smoke rising from his head. He jumped the rest of the way down from the invisible lift, the noise getting the attention of the dancing couple.

"Oh you're back." Ianto blushed slightly. He was surprised when Jack said nothing and just stormed passed him before slamming the door to his office. He looked over at Gwen and Owen, a look that clearly asked what his problem was but they both just shrugged as if they had no idea what was going on.

Jack hadn't left his office since his hasty exit. He wasn't hiding. Really, he wasn't. Well, maybe he was hiding a little. At that moment he wasn't exactly in the best of moods and most certainly was not in the mood to deal with any of his team. He was thankful that they had left him alone all this time. He honestly had no idea what to do about Ianto. He didn't know why everyone decided today would be the day that they tried to steal Ianto from Jack but they did. Or maybe they always had been and he only noticed today. Could he have been that oblivious? Had this been happening all along? Unfortunately, the best plan he had been able to form within the hour that he had hid himself in his office was to hide some more and hope everything went back to normal tomorrow. Now, as plans went, this was not one of his best plans. It was also not one of his worst but that's a whole other story. There was that possibility that this had been going on for a while and it was normal. If that was the case then his plan would never work. It also wasn't very Captain Jack Harkness like. He didn't usually hide from anything. Another thought was that he could just tell Ianto how he felt but he couldn't do that. That would be a bad idea for many good, solid reasons that Jack wasn't making up in his head at all. He was about to start listing those reason when he heard the intruder alarm go off in the hub. His whole body tensed to fight at the sound. He ran down to where the rest of the team was already gathered, drawing his Webley on the way there.

"Tosh, what's going on?" Tosh was typing away furiously on her computer while the other four members of the Torchwood team stood, guns drawn, covering all the angles.

"There's been a breach in security. I'm trying to find a location now."

"Hello team!" a voice said before Tosh could get any further in her search. All guns turned to point up at the cat walk where they heard the voice. Who they found was a shock and an annoyance for the whole team. Captain John Heart stood there with a cocky grin on his face.

"Oh god no.." Jack heard Ianto mutter.

"Eye candy! You're looking as delicious as ever." John leered at him as he walked down the stairs towards the team. He didn't even seem to register the guns follow him the entire way. Ianto couldn't resist the eye roll at John's comment.

"What are you doing here?" Jack demanded as he lowered his gun but did not change his defensive stance. The rest of his team followed suit.

"Can't a fellow stop by for a visit?"

"Not when it's you."

"You wound me Jack." He placed his hand over his heart to be overdramatic. However, his grin was still on his face.

"I'll go make coffee," Ianto informed them, already heading to the kitchen. Jack was starting to wonder if this was Ianto's nervous habit. Oh look, it's a bad situation, time to go make coffee.

"Oh and I'll go help." John followed Ianto. Jack was about to follow as well before Gwen stopped him.

"Jack, what is he doing here?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know Gwen?" he asked, his irritation clearly showing.

"Well we need to get rid of him."

"No shit.." Jack muttered to himself as he was already walking towards the kitchen. He stopped suddenly when he heard Ianto's voice.

"You think you could handle me captain?" Ianto's voice was smooth and seductive. Jack couldn't help but shiver at the words until he remembered that those words were not aimed at him.

"Do you think you'd be able to take all of me? Are you even sure you want to start this? Because mark my words Captain Heart, once you've had a taste of me you'll never get enough." That was the point where Jack lost it. He entered the room, seething, to find that Ianto had John trapped between him and the counter. John's eyes were full of lust. All rational thought flew straight out the window for Jack when he saw this scene coupled with the words he had just heard.

"That's it!" He yelled, pulling Ianto away from John.

"You need to get the fuck out of here!" he snarled at John.

"What? We can't share anymore?" Jack didn't even seem to hear him.

"And we need to talk." Jack continued, grabbing Ianto by the arm, pulling him towards his office.

A/N: Oh no..poor Jack. Oh and a cliffhanger? This author sucks..wait..that's me. *Evil grin* Anyways, let me know what you guys thought! The next chapter will be the final chapter.
