Chapter Ten
Ianto was still peering at the box.
"Any progress?" Jack asked.
"No, we still don't know what it is. Although it is glowing brighter each day and sometimes it flashes. Toshiko reckons its some kind for signal."
"But for what?"
"That's the question."
Toshiko looked across to Owen's desk, "Shouldn't Owen have come back by now? It's been days."
"He's probably still sulking," Gwen said shrugging.
Toshiko was still a little worried. So she ran a tracker on him. She was reassured when it had him located in his flat. It looked like he was just sulking after all. He'd be back in a few days when he calmed down.
Owen's eye was swollen and he'd given up listing his injuries. He didn't think the pain could get any worse, but he was sure he'd be proven wrong. He was certain he was going to die here, either from internal injuries or starvation. Still the nausea he felt was nothing compared with how he felt when he thought about what Erasmus was going to do to Toshiko and probably the others too. Surely even Jack couldn't survive being eaten. Owen mused that dehydration would probably kill him before starvation. But then Erasmus didn't want him dead yet, he wanted to torture him with Toshiko's death. Owen really hoped he'd ruin his plans and die before that, it would be more horrific than anything else he could do to him. If only he could stop it, but he was helpless and that wasn't something he was used to.
Owen would have liked to think the others would find him and get him out of this mess, but he was certain none of them had even missed him yet. He felt incredibly alone.
