AN: I want to appologise for how long it has taken me to put this chapter up, I have been redeoating and was without my pc for about a month. I also want to thank everyone who has reviewed, I'm sorry it took so long to reply to you, but your reviews mean a lot to me. I hope you enjoy the chapter and the next one will be up next Monday, let me know what you think.
As soon as Jack and Ianto had made their way out of the dining room, Amelia and Tosh had made their way to the living room and were currently going over all the things that Amelia would need as evidence to the abuse. She knew she would have to get a copy of both of Jack and Ianto's memories, as well as Owen's memory of his medical examination, but it would be helpful to get a copy of the young police officer memory and check the authorities involved and the teacher's minds for signs of tampering. When she mentioned this to Tosh, but also the need for secrecy due to the Statute of Secrecy, the Japanese woman suddenly squealed before making her way over to a laptop on a table in the corner of the room.
It was then that Jack and Ianto came back into the room, Tosh speaking up before anyone else could say anything, "Jack, Ianto, you need to give Amelia a copy of your memories of what happened with Harry. Ianto, I need to know if you told the PC who you worked for."
They both moved to do as directed, both scared of Tosh when she's in one of her powered up efficient moods, the no nonsense Toshiko, and Ianto nodded to her in answer. Both were wondering what she was up to, but they were both too afraid of her to ask, after all if they upset her she'd disable all their technology or re-route the CCTV of them in the gun range onto BBC News or something equally horrific.
About ten minutes later she let out a small noise of triumph, "Right that is everything set up. Ianto, PC Davies should be waiting for you in about half an hour outside the police station, if you apparate then take the SUV, if you then bring her here or take her to the house we have to work out of if necessary. Amelia can then get her memories of the investigation, then if you give her a dose of level 1 B67."
Ianto nodded and then disappeared with a sharp crack. Jack looked over to Tosh eyebrow raised in question at his tech guru. She just smiled at him, "Amelia, needs the PC's memory of the investigation and she needs to check the others for mental tampering, but needs to be careful due to the secrecy required. Ianto will get PC Davies memory and tomorrow Ianto will go toSurreywith the back up SUV and meet Amelia then they can check the others who were involved in the investigation for signs of mental tampering. I have set meetings up with each of those involved, they believe that they will be involved in random checks that we are insisting on every now and then."
Jack's smile was a mile wide, grinning at her like a proud parent he spoke, "Toshiko, my evil genius, I knew you were good. What I want to know though is how you managed to do that from here, unless, Tosh have you wired your laptop into the main systems so that you can interface with the central system from anywhere?"
Tosh looked at him bashfully, "Um, maybe, listen Jack. Don't be mad, I'm the only one who can access the laptop, it's so protected that it would be impossible to break into the mainframe from. I mean, the laptop has both eye and voice recognition that has to be bypassed before you get to three different password zones, each different, and each changed daily. Then to get into the mainframe you have to go through the whole log in and security process you have to go through at work to access anything."
"Alright", Jack acquiesced, "But you have to set one up for both Ianto and I, so that we can take it in turns to work from home when the kidlit is not at school."
Tosh nodded and was about to explain how she had done it when Amelia spoke, "I may not be an expert on muggles and their technology, but what you were just suggesting isn't possible is it. And how did you manage to just set up meetings with members of the police as easily as you did?"
Tosh didn't know how to respond and looked towards Jack to find out what she should do, instead of her doing anything Jack answered in her stead, "Your right, the technology that Tosh has used isn't anything that the regular public have. Before I can explain how she set up the meetings with the police, I need to know what level of security clearance you have."
Amelia looked surprised at this request but answered anyway, "Level 2"
At that Jack smiled, "Okay, the reason for how Tosh set the meetings up so quickly is because no-one really wants to piss off Torchwood."
"Torchwood", Amelia gasped, "You both work for Torchwood?"
"Captain Jack Harkness, Head of the Torchwood Institute, it's a pleasure to meet you." Jack said with a grin, "Toshiko Sato, our technological expert. Owen is our Doctor, Ianto is technically second in command or Assistant Director, as well our archivist and well a lot of other stuff. The last member of our team Gwen is away with her fiancé at the moment, she is our, erm, police liaison, I think."
Amelia just sat where she was looking stunned, "Ianto is Torchwood. I can't believe it. I mean why get me involved with all this if you're Torchwood, you can go directly above our government, you are above our government."
Jack sighed, "We try as much as possible to keep a low profile in the magical world, everything that goes through to your world has no names on it. When Ianto or I send things to Minister Fudge we always sign as either The Director or The Administrator. Fudge doesn't like the fact that while we are just a group of what he believes is all muggles that we have more power than he has, so we like to make sure that nothing that he gets access to has the name of anyone who works for us on it, as I quite like the idea of my staff being alive. If we were to control Harry's case and handle it as a Torchwood matter, that would put both Harry and my team in danger, Fudge would know that Harry was important to us and would use him to gain control over us."
Amelia looked horrified at the idea of what her boss would do to control these people, "I think I see were you are coming from with this, I've only heard the Minister talk about Torchwood a few times, but it has never been in a favourable light. So you don't want anyone to know the Torchwood connection to Harry, in his case he has just been adopted by his mother's friend and his partner?"
"Yes", Jack answered, "If we have to we will pull the Torchwood card, however by getting you involved we are doing things in a proper way, getting everything recorded and documented by you, I know that we will be keeping copies of all the evidence as well. I also had an idea about how to hide the information you gather until we are ready or have all the information to do anything about it, in a few days, perhaps tomorrow Dumbledore is going to realise that Harry Potter is missing and will start looking for him, any file that has anything regarding Harry Potter in it will be looked through if I know his type. If you start a new file however under the name Harry Llewellyn Harkness-Jones, he will overlook it completely."
Before anyone could speak Owen re-entered the room, sinking into the nearest chair he spoke, "They're both asleep, what have I missed?"
Toshiko quickly filled him in on the plans that had been made so far and what Ianto was doing at the moment. Once she had finished Owen seemed to think for a moment before talking, "So Ianto's out tomorrow, and Jack's kid sitting. Just the two of us then, until Gwen gets back."
Tosh nodded, but jack shook his head, "Ianto is away tomorrow morning and evening, the meetings that Tosh has set up should be finished by lunchtime, so I will come in then with your lunch and stay until about dinnertime. Ianto needs to meet that Severus at six I think, but we won't be completely short-staffed I'm going to call in a few favours with UNIT and commandeer a few people from their ranks. I know we shouldn't be of the scale Torchwood London was, but I think that we are running ourselves a bit thin at the moment, I'll get Martha to recommend some people and bring them down sometime this week, she'll need to be here anyway."
Tosh and Owen just shared a look over Jack's head, Amelia now ignoring the conversation as she read through the police officers notes on Harry's case, trying to get a feel of the others who had worked on the case in preparation for the next day. "So, how many people are we looking for and what areas?" Owen asked.
Jack looked pensive for a moment before answering, "Well, there's the five of us, so I was thinking maybe another ten people, take us up to about fifteen. I definitely want another couple of Doctors, a new weapons expert since we haven't had anyone in that post since Suzie, someone to man our cover entrance and someone to deal with some of the day to day inertia to free Ianto up a bit, and some more field agents."
Owen nodded, seeing the wisdom of the idea now that Jack and Ianto had a child and Gwen was getting married, but needed to make a few things clear. "I'm still the head medic", he asked, continuing after Jack nodded, "And none of the newbies get to touch my weevil research."
They spent the next while going over what sort of thing they would go for in the new staff, and Tosh began to look through UNIT's personnel files to find the type of people the would look into commandeering from UNIT. Amelia was quietly going through all the files she had been given and didn't speak until Ianto arrived back with the police officer's memories.
"I've been thinking. All these reports are all well and good, but I really need to get a copy of Harry's memories. I think its best to get them now while he's asleep so that he doesn't have to see all the memories again." Amelia told them.
Once she was given the go ahead the group as a whole made their way to Harry's bedroom, Jack and Ianto as his guardians were required to be there, Amelia to extract the memories, and Tosh and Owen wanted to watch the process to see how it happens. When they entered the room it was to see the two five year olds curled up around each other on the bed fast asleep.
Jack turned to Owen, "I meant to ask, how did you get them to go to sleep?" he queried.
"Erm, well I readtothemandtheyfellasleep." Owen muttered in response.
"Sorry, I couldn't hear that, Owen. What did you do?" Jack asked again.
"I read to them alright, I read to them and they fell asleep." Owen answered, trying to look annoyed, but couldn't help but smile when Susan shifted in her sleep and Harry moved with her so as not to lose the contact he had with her.
Amelia extracted copies of the memories she needed as quickly as she could so as to make the experience as emotionally painless as possible, making a copy for Ianto she then put her copies with the other evidence she had been given that evening. Thinking of the last piece of evidence she needed to gather she turned to Ianto, "Is it alright if I leave Susan here while I go to speak to the goblins?"
The answer she got surprised her, "There is no need. I'll contact the goblins, just give me a minute." At that Ianto pulled out his mobile phone, she knew what it was she did know about the muggle world a little bit, and dialled a number, it was a few moments before he spoke, but when he did who he was speaking to shocked her.
"Director Ragnok, yes it's nice to speak to you again, how is the family? Good, good. I need a favour, yes well unofficially officially. I need a ward analysis of the property Number4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging,Surrey. Yes, if you send a copy to Madam Bones, myself and put a copy in our vault. I'd also like for you to look into the Potter's wills and the execution of them, do the same with the findings. Yes, I look forward to seeing you again, the same to you and your clan, may your gold always grow."
After explaining to her that Torchwood had a rather good relationship with the goblins and how the information she needed about the wards and the wills should be on her desk by the next morning, Ianto had invited Amelia to stay the night. She declined the offer and gathering up her evidence and Susan, she apparated away. Tosh and Owen didn't stay long after that, both having to be up early the next morning. After the others had gone Jack and Ianto checked on Harry once more before making their way to bed. It wasn't long before the events of the day caught up with them and they both fell asleep.
