Ianto was angry, really angry how dare Mycroft send Sherlock to babysit him! He left them why can't they understand that? For a family of sociopaths they were really keen on seeing their family.
For a few weeks now he had his emergency bag stashed in a lock up near his house but Ianto wasn't stupid, he didn't go there first, he made a detour to a small shop on the corner and paid for a new sim card he reached for his credit card but his mind stopped him and instead he paid with cash. He muttered a thank you and walked out, It didn't surprise him to see Sherlock leaning on the wall outside with a cigarette in his mouth, the second thing he noticed was a shorter man next to him. Sherlock was too consumed in his phone to notice Ianto from across the street
"Most observant man in England Sherly? Really?" He muttered to himself as he slipped into a taxi. He gave the address to the driver, plugged his headphones in and thought about his childhood as the song started. In the middle of a gunfight In the centre of a restaurant...
"Why does tea-boy have to be so bloody complicated?!" Owen threw his hands up in frustration and waved them around dramatically.
"He didn't seem complicated the first time I looked at his file" Jack looked at his team over the top of Gwen's workstation. Tosh crossed the floor to were Jack was stood and pressed a few buttons on his keypad which brought up Ianto's file.
"Well Ianto's good at computers Jack, we take him for granted sometimes, like I said he's good but I'm better. This files been tampered with."
Jack was confused surely if Ianto was going to change his file he'd change the shoplifting things? Or alter his records so his file looked better, what is he up to?
He was about to voice his findings to the team when Gwen shouted from her station.
"Jack! I've spotted him!"
Gwen jabbed her finger at the screen, it showed Ianto going into the corner shop and buying the SIM card.
"Now I'm confused were did he go from there?"
Gwen clicked to fast forward but the screen went fuzzy and a message with the words no more footage to show in a little box showed up on the screen.
Jack nodded at the questioning faces of his team and ran to the SUV with them at his heels.
Somewhere in a posh London apartment
Mycroft watched the scene unfold in front of him
"My dear Ianto what have you done this time?"
He reached for the phone infront of him and pressed the dial button.
"Sherlock, you're getting slow"
The voice on the other end of the line snapped back.
"Well he just got into a car and you didn't see him"
A shout of frustration confirmed Mycrofts suspicion as Sherlock got annoyed at himself and John tried to calm him down.
"Just find him Sherlock!" Mycroft slammed his phone down on the desk and looked at his computer screen were he could see an SUV speeding past and John trying not to laugh at Sherlock's frustration.
Sherlock pulled out his blackberry and dialled Ianto's phone. No answer, Sherlock started to pace and John knew it was serious.
"He's not stupid he knows where we'll look, he's my kid brother! Jesus John; Ianto's vulnerable yes he's a pain and I basically pretend he doesn't exist half the time but I don't want him dead!"
John placed a hand on Sherlocks shoulder to rouse him from his thoughts.
"Sherlock we will find him it will be ok"
"We've been meaning to see him, Ianto hasn't been In the best place recently and I need him, where is he!" The detective was growing more frantic and the anger was apparent in his voice.
"Sherlock maybe he needs time away? You said there was an incident at his work, he might need the time off" John was trying to be the voice of reason but it seemed that wasn't working.
"Well you could call it an incident, if by incident you mean bringing in a cyberwoman and endangering the lives of four Torchwood operatives plus the rest of the world if set free, hello brother" A welsh voice replied rather than the deep London one that belonged to Sherlock. Ianto directed his answer to the two men as he stepped out of the taxi that had just pulled up onto the pavement.
"Mycroft was right you are getting slow" he smirked and crossed his arms.
"Welsh bastard" Sherlock grinned and for a second, just one second actually looked human. But the grin that had crossed Sherlocks face was definitley not mirrored on Ianto's.
"You've seen me; I'm fine now fuck off." Ianto glared and folded his hand around the gun hidden in his belt.
"Ah I see, you're scared. They're going to see you for who you really are? Not just a shoplifting teen, not just a tea boy, not even the faithful boyfriend to a cyberwoman?" Sherlocks squared up to Ianto towering over him as John looked at the pair very confused as to what was happening.
"You utter dick." Ianto spat out the words as if they could fly out of his mouth and hit his brother in the face. Instead of his words hitting Sherlock though he drew back his fist and punched him in the jaw instead at the same time as sweeping his foot underneath his, and as Sherlock hit the ground Ianto turned and walked away. But then again Ianto always did run away.
