Tosh was working furiously at her keyboard as the CCTV followed the van, switching to drone as she knew they would start to evade the cameras at the same spot they always did.

The drone kept in pace with the tracking device under Ford's shoulder blade and they were soon in motion.

Then it stopped.

"Tosh?" Jack asked as he swung the wheel.

"Some sort of cloaking device" she snarled, "It's gone dead in this area here!"

She indicated some warehouses and Jack swore softly.

"Why is it always fucking warehouses?" Owen groaned as he rechecked his medical bag.

"We don't have time for your hang-ups" Gwen snarled as she snapped a clip into her sidearm, "Ford is in there, wherever that is … so that is where we are going. Deal!"

She stormed off and Owen turned to Jack with a grimace, "god, she rocks those fucking boots he got her!"

"Careful" Jack grinned as he pulled his coat on, lamenting the lost fingers that usually slid around his shoulders for nonexistent fluff, "Tosh has some too."

"Bullshit!" Owen snorted, and then gaped as Tosh came over with her knee high black boots flashing.

"Oh yeah, hers are shiny!" Jack whispered, moving off as Owen openly leered.

"Come on Owen" Tosh quipped as she tripped up the steps to the tourist office, "Don't keep him waiting."

They found the drone near the warehouses and Jack motioned Tosh to start hacking WIFI and internet accesses as Owen set up in a nearby B&B who were delighted with the off peak patronage.

By that evening Tosh had connections and her screens in the back of the SUV here flashing code as she tracked what she was looking for hidden in the binary.

"I don't know how you can read that" Gwen sighed as she nervously paced while chewing on a hunk of salami.

"I don't know how you can eat that" Tosh replied, "Countryside, don't you ever wonder what meat they use?"

"Fuck" Gwen spat out the mouthful and sighed as Tosh spoilt one of her few pleasures.

"I got files" Tosh called out, "Code name TWolf"

"Call 'em up" Jack barked and she clicked, instantly starting a video that showed Ianto on a bed.

"No" Jack whispered as it all became too clear what was happening and Jack backpedaled away from the screens, burning his retinas with his mate's feeble whimpers.

Owen was roaring as he struggled firm the SUV and started to stride down the road, only to walk back as he knew they had to wait.

"Fuckers!" Owen sobbed, "Fucking bastard shitholes!"

Jack was struggling to control himself as Tosh shut the screens down bar one, clicking onto a file instead and then she whistled, "Found it. Sub-directory."

They rushed forward and she clicked to the holding file that TWolf was stored in and Jack pointed with a trembling hand.

"That one" Jack said angrily as he indicated another file in that hidden pocket, "That's the one we need. All of it, then burn the fuckers down!"

Tosh nodded and started downloading everything she could find before they detected her in their cyber brain.

It was almost an hour later, her shout of triumph making them turn as she leaned out of the side door. It was dark and she was given a halo appearance form the monitors behind her.

"Done, look for the light display, that's where he is."

They turned to the direction of the warehouses and raised their binoculars as they waited.

After a while they saw a beam of light as the spotlights on the roof of one building lit up the cloudy sky.

"There" Jack said pointlessly, and then turned to the team.

"Right" he clapped his hands together, "We have a job to do, let's roll."

As they clambered into the SUV Jack silently hoped Ianto had done his as well.

Things were about to get real.
