Chapter 10.

Ianto sighed with relief when he saw Molly, he knew they weren't out of danger yet, but at least she was still alive. The relief was short lived though when she got nearer and Ianto saw her properly. She was being pushed forward by one of Clarke's heavies, her hands behind her back, probably tied in some way, but the worst part was how she looked. She had a cut lip, a bruise on her cheek, and a large cut on her head that looked like she had been hit hard by something. Ianto made a silent vow to himself then, that whoever had done that to her was going to pay. 'Molly…' he tailed off not knowing what to say.

Molly knew what he was thinking though. 'Hey, it's not as bad as it looks. You should see the other guy.' Ianto looked at her, she was grinning while she said this, and for a minute he couldn't understand why. It then dawned on him that the guy standing behind her had a black eye, and an badly bruised nose.

'You did that to him?' He asked, pointing at the guy behind her.

'Like I was going down without a fight. Not the first time a guy's underestimated me.' She smiled again, but Ianto could see that this smile didn't reach her eyes, she was scared, but she would never show it. He then heard someone clearing their throat, and he turned to look at the smartly dressed man that had come in with the others. Ianto had been so focused on Molly, he had almost forgot about the others.

'If you have finished with your catch up, then can we get down to business.' Clarke was politely spoken, but this just made him seem more dangerous. 'You have the disc?'

'I have it, but you need to let Molly go first.' Ianto hoped he was sounding more confident than he was feeling. He also had this nagging feeling that he had been in this situation before, but that he had been in the position Molly was in now.

'We will be playing by my rules Mr Jones, and until I have checked that disc out, no one is going anywhere.' Clarke walked over to Ianto and held out his hand. Ianto took the disc out of his pocket and handed it over. Clarke took the disc and walked over to the other side of the room where there was a table with a computer on it. The man that had met Ianto earlier gestured for him to follow, and the man with Molly made her go in that direction too. The third man stood by the door. When they got over to the table Molly turned to Ianto and whispered 'I hope you have a plan.' Ianto looked at her and gave her what he hope was a reassuring smile. There was a plan, but that plan hinged on Jack being close by, and he had no idea if he was. Clarke's voice broke into his thoughts.

'I think we have a problem, this information is incomplete.'

'What.' Ianto said surprised

'It is incomplete, the end of the second half of the formula is missing, and that's a problem, for you.'

Patience was not something that Jack had a lot of. Having to keep his distance was proving to be highly frustrating. He would much rather have grabbed the guy that had met Ianto, and made him tell them what they need to know. He was unhappy at not having a visual on Ianto, he hated the fact that they were going into this almost totally blind with minimal equipment. His mood was also not helped when he lost the car he was tracking.

'Gwen, tell me you are still tracking the car.' he said over the comms.

'Relax, I can still see it on the traffic cams, it's just turned into the warehouse area of the docks.'

'There are lots of warehouses in there though, which one are they at?' Jack was starting to lose what little patience he had left.

'I'm just trying to get into the docks CCTV, but its going to take a minute.'

'Well hurry it up.' Jack snapped back.

'Hey, watch the tone, I know your getting impatient, but taking it out on me is not going to make the computer work faster.'

'Sorry.' Jack took a deep breath. He took the turning that led to the docks sharply as he did so.

'Ok, I found the car, its outside warehouse 7 on the east side. You may want to leave the car though, because they are probably watching the CCTV as well, and it might be easier to get there on foot.'

Jack parked the car up and got out. He took with him one of the guns that Gwen had still got. It was a stun gun, and would come in useful while getting into the building. He didn't really want to alert anyone inside to his presence until the last moment. He walked quickly and quietly towards the east side of the building where Gwen had seen the car pull up. When he got nearer he could see that there was one man guarding the entrance to the warehouse. Jack went quietly around the building next door, trying to keep out of the way of the cameras he could see above him, silently hoping he hadn't been noticed. He made his way round the side of warehouse 7, and crept up on the man by the door, stunning him before he even had time to realise that Jack was there. Jack then quickly went through the door, as he did so he spoke to Gwen, 'I'm in.' He didn't mention the fact that it had seemed easier than he had thought, and that was not a good thing.

'Ok, just take it carefully, I can't help you now. There's no visual I can get inside the building. There's no way of knowing how many people are in there.'

Ianto looked at Clarke, and trying to keep the panic out of his voice said, 'I don't know what you mean, that disc has everything on it.'

'Then explain to me why the end of the formula is missing. Look.'

Ianto looked at the computer screen, and although he couldn't understand exactly what was on the screen, he could tell that there were indeed figures missing. He looked at Molly, who smiled at him, she then turned to Clarke and said. 'It's not missing, it's on the disc. It's just in a hidden location within the disc, and I'm the only one who knows where that is. Seriously, do I look stupid enough to leave information like that complete.' Ianto wasn't really sure whether this bravado Molly had was wise, but it definitely seemed to unnerve Clarke. He walked over to her.

'Clever, but you better go over there and find it, unless you want something to happen to your friend.' As he said this he took his gun from the waistband of his trousers and pointed it at Ianto.

Molly though, held her nerve and looked Clarke straight in the eye and called his bluff, 'I think we both know that for the moment you won't be shooting anyone, because as soon as you do there is no reason for me to open that disc.'

Ianto stared at her incredulously, not quite believing what she was saying, but she had a point. He also wondered where she summoned up the courage to talk to Clarke like that, and then he remembered some of the stories she had told him about her parents, and he thought that at this moment she was doing them proud. Clarke though was not pleased, he turned away from Ianto and walked closer to Molly, he then hit her hard across the face. Ianto stepped forward to get to Clarke, only to be met with another gun pointed at his head.

Clarke ignored what was going on behind him and said to Molly. 'I can't deny you have guts and maybe you do have a point, but you really should watch your attitude, because who knows what might happen after you have finished retrieving the information. I am going to need people to test the virus on.'

Molly just continued to stare him straight in the eye. Her already bruised cheek hurt from where he had hit her, but she was not going to give him the satisfaction of letting him see her cry. She was scared far more than she was letting on, but the whole time she had been here she had thought of her dad, and of how brave he was, and of some of the lessons he had taught her, including never showing the enemy your fear. 'I will retrieve the information for you, but your going to have to untie my hands because I can't do it with them behind my back.'

Clarke gestured to the man standing behind Molly. He then took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the handcuffs around her wrists. Molly rubbed her wrists as they were taken off and went over to the computer. The man stayed close behind her though, gun in hand. As she started to get to work on the files in front her, something caught her attention. Over on the other side of the room, Molly could see someone peering through the door surveying the room, and that someone was Jack.

Jack had made his way quietly through the building, wondering to himself why it was so quiet. As he passed a small room on the right, he could see it had been made up to look like a laboratory, probably where Clarke was going to start manufacturing the virus. As Jack approached the large room at the back of the building, he could hear voices. He went up to the door and carefully peered in. There was a man, just on the other side of the door, thankfully with his back to him. Then across the room he could see Ianto and Molly, both of them had people stood by them who were armed, and stood next to Molly was Benjamin Clarke. Jack had waited a long time to see him in person. The only problem he had now was going to be getting into the room without the people in there firing as soon as he did. He wasn't worried about himself so much, but as Ianto and Molly had guns trained on them, they could be shot before he even got in there properly. He was going to need some kind of diversion. As he looked back in Molly's direction, he saw her look straight at him. He then ducked back down out of view in case anyone had noticed her looking at the door. This, he thought to himself could work in his favour.
