Ianto was back within the time frame with time to spare, able to make coffee and settle on the sofa before the alarms sounded and the lights flickered before turning red.

WARNING EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN IN EFFECT WARNING EMERGENCY…..

Ianto watched the team race for their stations and then realise they couldn't unlock it. Tosh was the first to look over at Ianto and frown as he calmly sipped his coffee. "Ianto? Is this you?"

"I kinda need to talk to you guys and I don't want any flouncing off or interruptions." Ianto agreed.

Ianto looked over at Jack and he hadn't seen that look of fury and disillusion since Lisa, It was breaking his heart, but he had to be strong and forge ahead with his plan.

''There a bag behind you, open it and remove the handcuffs" Ianto asked calmly making Owen look at him with open confusion.

''Piss off, tea-boy you've gone bloody mad" Owen snorted, turning to Jack, "I told you to get him some help."

Ianto fired the gun into the wall making them all jump and Ianto saw movement out the corner of his eye, "Don't do it Jack, please. You can't die but I still can kill you and that would kill me too."

Jack took a beat or two, and then nodded to Owen. Soon each of them sat handcuffed to a chair in the meeting room with looks of doom.

"Jack, I love you very much, I hope you, Tosh and Owen will forgive me, but I had no other choice" Ianto said softly as Jack glared at him with obvious fury.

"Yan, I am your husband, I love you, whatever is going on we can deal with it together" Jack tried to talk him down like he was some lube and Ianto smiled softly as he walked over to Jack, leaning down kissing him. "Jack, you wouldn't believe me. None of you would, so it had to be this way. Please listen, I've survived Canary Wharf, Lisa, Cyberman and the cannibals. With Jack I found love, trust and understanding, I was able to overcome it all and find happiness...At Torchwood we encounter all type of alien that could inflict and cause unimaginable pain, But alien are not our only enemies, it's also humans..."

"Ianto, we all have suffered some type of tragedy in our life, but that don't give you the right to cuff us to a freaking chair" Owen snarled "so get on with it and let us out of here."

"Owen, my baby wasn't taken by a stranger, It was ripped from my body by a heartless, vicious vindictive person, who feels I stole her life" Ianto sighed "she wants me to suffer; She refuses to accept Jack loves me, and if she couldn't have him, she wanted the next best thing his child. If she can't have all of him she will take this part."

Tosh scowled ''what are you saying, Gwen stole your baby?"

Gwen let out a small scream ''why is he saying these things, Jack he's crazy. Ianto this has gone far enough, let us loose..."

"No Jack, I knew this would happen, that why I did it this way" Ianto said sadly and Jack stopped trying to get to the cuff lock, watching as Ianto struggled then turned to Gwen and spoke with such venom, "Did you enjoy seeing me suffer, in so much pain, blaming my carelessness for what happened, did your hope soar seeing the strain it put on my marriage thinking Jack would finally leave me?"

Gwen snorted, "He's insane."

Ianto suddenly leaned into her face "Gwen you have a fantasy of Jack. Yes, I do believe Jack had feeling for you, But not in the way you wanted, As for Rhys he will finally be free of you. The sad part Gwen, you would have gotten away, if not for Tosh and you underestimated my eidetic memory...I overheard you whispering at the party, using some of T.W, equipment, I was able to confirm my suspicion."

"The party?" Jack said softly, "You've…all this time? Oh Ianto."

"Gwen, I've been tracking you, found you're secluded home, the bank accounts, and Anna," Ianto told her with the screen flashing up the bank accounts.

Jack looked at Gwen with hatred in his eyes...

Owen frowned, ''Gwen is this true?''

Gwen ignores Owen's question, looking at Ianto with smugness, "You can't prove something that isn't true!"

"Yes it's true, Gwen has been very busy,... Poor Rhys waits till he discovers, she has emptied over half of their back account... Embezzling money from Harwood business account...we are also missing small quantity of retcon, all in her quest to destroy my life and to get Jack. As you can see, also our bank accounts skimmed ever so politely."

As the team stared at the screen Ianto took a call, "Come on down, use the code I gave you."

Ianto moved to un-cuff Jack as Andy entered the main hub from the outer office with a woman carrying a bundle.

"Over here Anna" Ianto said as calmly as he could, "Give him to me please."

Finally.

Ianto won.
