Chapter-10
John wasted no time returning to his rented room; going to the park had been risky considering he had to remain hidden until the time was right to make his presence known. John had only ventured out when he could lurk in the shadows or be hidden by the darkness of night. But with Gwen-Bloody-Cooper he had to make an exception, she had to be watched and watched closely.
In the end John had not regretted he had taken the risk as he reflected back on the video he had sent to Jack from Gwen's phone. Now relaxed on his bed with his legs crossed and hands propped behind his head, John smirked as images of the fallout between Jack and Ianto played out in his head, thanks to Gwen.
Gwen had arrived home, sitting on her sofa giggling her foot as she waited impatiently for Andy's call. She knew she should be preparing dinner for Rhys, but she couldn't stop recalling the events that had occurred earlier in the park. John's shocking words "So you found Eye-candy's secret lover and bastard child" kept on repeating in her head.
As the events at the park replayed in her head over and over again Gwen seethed with anger, thinking of the pain Jack would endure because he let himself be manipulated once again by that worthless piece of estate trash, how could Ianto do this to Jack and that precious little boy of theirs?
Gwen had no idea her eavesdropping on Tosh and Ianto would lead to uncovering that Ianto had once again betrayed Jack's love as well as his trust. If she had only confessed her true feelings for Jack, she could have kept him out of Ianto's clutches after Lisa's death.
Checking her watch, Gwen mumbled, "what taking you so long Andy?" Grabbing her mobile from the coffee table, she scrolled down the dialed calls log to see what time she had last spoken with Andy. Shocked Gwen abruptly stood up seeing that there was another call made from her mobile after she had talked with Rhys. Gwen knew she hadn't made that call, especially to Jack with everything that was happening. She had remained sitting on the park bench reeling from John's shocking revelation about Ianto.
Gwen frantically paced her living room then she suddenly stopped, clapping her hands to her mouth as she let out a small scream of anguish remembering John having her phone and realizing he was only pretending to be watching the footage of Ianto she had captured. He had obviously was forwarding the video to Jack's mobile, her anger escalating as the realisation of what John had done without her knowing.
"Why that sneaky son-of-a-bitch!" Gwen shouted venomously, before snatching up her car keys and jacket as she rushed out of the flat.
Meanwhile Ianto Harkness-Jones sat in his car in the Cardiff P.D. parking lot. Taking a deep calming breath, he reflected over his stressful but satisfying morning. He had re-established a more pleasant and balanced working relationship between Cardiff P.D and Torchwood. No thanks to Jack, oh Jack meant well, but he just didn't like any authority especially the police. He had also decided it was time to make some changes in his life and one of those changes was that Jack would finally meet Patricia and Wyatt.
Ianto and Patricia had talked earlier while Wyatt played nearby, Ianto believed enough time had passed to stop meeting in secret. Patricia had agreed and would set aside next Sunday for Ianto and his family to visit her and Wyatt for dinner; together they would tell Jack everything about them from Torchwood-1 to now. But Patricia was adamant that Jack not know anything about Wyatt's parentage. She knew what would happen if the truth come out. And her loosing Wyatt wasn't negotiable .Wyatt was her life, her reason for living; she couldn't imagine a life without her precious little boy.
Ianto had kissed her forehead while reassuring her he would take their secret to his grave, eliminating her worse fears.
Ianto hated keeping secrets from Jack, but at the time he knew he made the right decision as far as Wyatt was concerned. Just as he knew without a doubt he made the right decision not to call Jack that horrible night, he wouldn't have been able to stop him from delivering his own brand of justice. Jack Harkness was a force to be reckoned with, especially if you harmed someone he loved or considered family. One death had already occurred as a result of that night.
Ianto ran a hand through his hair, shaken by the past memories acting out in his thoughts, before starting his car to return to the hub. Before he had the chance to back his car out of the parking space his mobile rang. Applying the brake, he pulled out his mobile to see that it was Owen ringing him; Ianto rolled his eyes before he answered.
"Hello Owen, what's up?" Ianto asked unenthusiastically.
"Where the hell are you tea-boy, get your ass back here now, Jack has locked himself in his office and he is destroying the place" Owen shouted.
"Owen, what the hell happened?" asked Ianto worriedly and with more enthusiasm than mere minutes ago.
Before Owen could answer, Tosh took the phone to talk with Ianto "Ianto, we will explain what we know when you get here. Please hurry, we're afraid Jack might hurt himself"
''I'm on my way, Tosh'' Ianto replied anxiously as he sped out of the parking lot toward the hub.
