Hey guys, Just to clarify, in case it wasn't clear, Jack and Owen had a little talk while they were working and Jack punched him. Jack said things about treating all of his co-workers with respect, and Owen said something rude about Ianto being a "Tattle Tale". Anyway, Jack had hoped it would teach Owen a lesson, but it just sort of pissed him off. Owen had planned on laying off Ianto, so the argument about the coffee was just residual anger.

Your reviews ROCK! I'm so happy!

Anyways, off in to the wild white and black font yonder.

CHAPTER 7!!!!!

********************************************

Silence. Painful and buzzing in their ears. Owen's words hung in the air, matching blank faces all around.

"...What?" Gwen breathed.

"Ianto–" Owen had begun again but stopped speaking as Jack bolted out of the room. The look on his face was unfamiliar. Something they had never seen adorn the face of their brave Captain. He looked terrified. He looked as though it were the end of the world, and perhaps it was.

Jack ran to Ianto's room and franticly began to search. The bathroom, the closet, it was empty. So was Owen's room, and Gwen's and Tosh's and his, the sub hub was also vacant of Ianto's presence. The rest of the team followed behind him in his search, unsure of themselves. Not certain on what they should do.

After checking the rooms for a second time, he tried the com's, and received no response. He then tried his phone, it rang and rang and went to voice mail. He tried again, and still their was nothing. He squeezed the phone tightly in his hand and looked at what remained of his team. His eyes filled with such despair, he spoke, his teeth clenched tightly, but it did not disguise the shaking in his voice.

"What happened Owen?"

"I don't know. He was there, and I looked down for a second, and he was gone. Door didn't open or shut, he just vanished."

"...Into thin air?" Tosh asked.

"Yeah I guess–" Owen stopped and saw them all looking at each other, the same thought occurring to them.

"He disappeared, just like the other victims," Gwen said.

"No warning..Just poof." Tosh mumbled, trying to control her panic.

"Tosh, Gwen, I want to see everything from today, Owen gather everything we got too. There is a connection somewhere. Find it, find it now. I want him back...I want him back with us safe and sound." Tosh and Owen moved instantly, Gwen however took a few tentative steps towards Jack.

"Jack, you know more about aliens then all of us, you must have some idea what's causing this."

"I don't," he said tightly. "I don't know what's doing this. If I did do you think I would have let this happen?" His voice hitched and dropped to a whisper. "Let what ever it is take him away?"

Gwen gave Jack a sympathetic look. "Jack you didn't let this happen,"

"Well I feel responsible."

"Why?" Gwen placed a hand on his arm and gave it a comforting rub. "It's not your fault."

"I just do," he said.

"We'll find him Jack, I promise," Gwen gave him a sad smile and went off to assist Owen and Tosh. Jack stood alone for a moment, pushing his hands deep into his pockets. He turned his head, his eyes resting on the coffee machine, which looked cold and alone without Ianto standing along side it.

He sighed heavily, wanting to pull himself together before joining the others. He thought about what Gwen had last said. "We'd better."

**

Ianto opened his eyes, feeling groggy. His throat was dry, and his head hurt. Shapes began to form, the blurrs of his surroundings clearing up. He tried to move, but felt cold restraints on his wrists and feet. He shook his head trying to rid himself of an overwhelming sensation of fatigue. His head lolled to his other side, falling away from hard metal slab he was attached to. His eyes grew wide at the sight to his left. A young women was attached what Ianto assumed to be an identical slab that restrained him. She was asleep, she would have passed for dead if her chest wasn't rising slowly.

He recognized her, Samantha Simions, the 23 year old tourist from Paris. He looked quickly to his right, in the same state as Samantha was 4 year old Angelo Secilo. He looked around, they were all there. Every person from the file was there, in a coma like state. He struggled against his restraints again, desperately trying to free himself. He realized what had happened. He'd just been added to the list of missing persons. He only hoped the others realized, and that they would find him. Find him, before he couldn't wake up anymore.

"Anything? Anything at all?" Jack asked sounding completely helpless.

"I'm sorry Jack, but Ianto hasn't got anything in common with the other victims," Owen said.

"You're wrong, there has to be something!" Jack exclaimed in desperation.

"There is nothing Jack, I'm sorry, I don't know why he was taken, but there isn't anything linking him to the others," Owen tried to explain to their leader.

Jack didn't want to hear it. He turned to Tosh, hoping to find her more helpful than Owen. "Tosh, what happened today, tell me again."

"We went to where the locales lived and worked. We started with the bakery and went according to location from there. We interviewed, got background information, and collected their possessions to search through," Tosh said patiently as she went through the events for the third time.

"He didn't eat anything funny and nobody strange talked to him?" Jack asked

"No Jack, we came straight back here when we finished," Gwen said.

"There has to be a reason! Something happened, something was done that made this happen!" Jack shouted angrily.

They all remained silent and bowed their heads. They knew Jack was frustrated, and that he wasn't yelling at them, but he was frightening when he was angry. They wished they had the answer Jack was desperately looking for. The answer they all wanted to have so they could find their lost colleague.

Tosh looked up suddenly. "Jack?"

Jack turned his attention to Tosh, the tone in her voice causing his eyes to brighten hopefully. "What Tosh?"

"I just thought...there was one thing, but it wasn't just him, so I didn't think to mention it."

"What is it Tosh?"

"We parked the car, and walked to the Bakery, but we made a quick stop on the way." Tosh said hurriedly.

"Where did you go?"

"The Fountain!" Gwen gasped. "We stopped at the Fountain!"

"What Fountain?" Jack asked.

"The Trevi Fountain," Tosh gushed "We stopped to make a wish at the Trevi Fountain."

Jack jumped to his feet and made his way to Tosh's computer, they all followed obediently.

"Tosh, I need you to pull up that clip you found on youtube."

"Sure thing," She said typing away at the keys. She brought up the clip and clicked play, everyone watched in anticipation. The video was a little shaky, it first showed Samantha Simions eating breakfast, waving and laughing at the camera. It changed, to Kyle Martin walking through an art gallery. It changed again, the last twenty seconds of the video showing Samantha throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain, she gave the camera one last smile, and it ended.

Jack's eyes were hard as he stared at the now black screen. When he spoke his voice was like steel. "I think we should pay that Fountain a visit."
