Ianto tried to reach his weapon, but stopped when he felt something sharp against his stomach.

"Really, in a place full of children and mothers?" the Doctor said. "Not that it bothers me, there'd be less stupid apes walking around."

He suddenly pulled Ianto forward and kissed him, biting his lip as he did.

Ianto pulled away with a look of disgust on his face as the Doctor licked the blood of his lip, and closed his eyes in ecstasy.

""Mmm, you still taste good pretty boy. Oh I am going to enjoy you," he growled and floored Ianto with one punch.

He glanced round and gave one shopper a warning glare as he bundled Ianto into the SUV. He got in a placed his hands on the steering wheel and went to start the engine...then stopped and looked at the wheel warily.

Then it came to him, isomorphic controls; the car would only start for a driver it recognised.

He twisted and reached over the seat and dragged the unconscious Ianto forward, bumping his head on the roof as he did.

"Oops, sorry. I'll kiss that better later," he smiled and placed Ianto's hand on the start button and the engine roared into life.

"Off we go then," he said and drove the SUV out of the car park. He knew he would be in trouble for bringing him back; but to be honest he really didn't care...he only wanted what was his.

He looked back at Ianto. "Don't you worry pretty boy."


Jack sighed with relief when he finally stepped inside the Hub. He'd spent the last five hours answering awkward questions from very annoyed Swiss Police.

He daren't use the manipulator, so he had to take a flight back.

"Yan," he called and frowned when he got no answer. He trotted down the steps, thinking he was attending Martha and Gwen, but they were sleeping.

"Yan?" he called, worry now creeping into his voice.

Half an hour later Jack knew that something bad must have happened; Ianto was nowhere.

His gut twisted with the thought that it was probably a Doctor shaped bad. He jumped when the alarm buzzed to tell him one or both of the girls were awake and need of attention.

He pushed his worry for Ianto and the Doctor to the back of his mind and stepped into the med-room.

"Ladies," he smiled. "What can I do for you?"

Gwen smiled back at him. "You can me what's bloody well going on and how we're going to kick that bastard's arse."

The look he received from Martha said much the same thing.

"If Ianto's missing, then that means the SUV is, and the SUV has a tracker, so..."Gwen said and on the screen a blip appeared.

"It isn't stationary and it's still in the UK...no, it's stopping. I don't believe it, the balls of the bastard. Jack, I think our crazy Doctor's just led us to himself and White Coat."


The Doctor dragged Ianto out of the SUV and began pulling him across the floor. He stopped when the door in front of him flew open.

He frowned when he saw the angry face of his boss.

His boss closed the gap between them and the resounding slap of hand hitting face echoed around the garage.

"When I said something or someone, I never said one of Harkness' team! You will put him back in the vehicle and someone will dispose of him."

White Coat expected his property to obey him and drop his prize.

What he wasn't expecting was the growl that rumbled from him. "No."

White Coat scowled. "No, what do you mean no? You will do as you are told."

"No," his property snarled and held the unconscious man closer to him. "Mine."

White Coat scowled again; he would not tolerate such wilful disobedience. He gestured to the two ever present guards.

His property snarled again as the two men approached; but they were unfazed by the vocal threats.

The snarls became louder and the two men looked at White Coat, who nodded.

The crackle of electricity filled the air as the men advanced and his property snarled and dropped his prize and lunged for one of the men.

He didn't even have time to let out a yelp of pain before dropping to the floor.

White looked down at his subdued property. "Secure Mr Jones will you."

He nudged his property with a foot. "You are in need of an attitude adjustment."


Ianto groaned and tried to reach his bruised face and couldn't. He looked up and sighed...he seemed to be spending way too much time in chains.

At least he was away from the clearly insane Doctor. He thought about Jack and how that would break his heart...again. He began to wonder if he should have accidently on purpose administered too much Serum Five and ended it there in the Hub.

He had no idea where he was or if he was even in the country...so the tracker in the SUV would be of no use.

He really hoped he wouldn't see the Doctor again, well the side of him that was in residence at the moment. He had no doubt that he was a guest of White Coat's and the fact that he was chained in a cell instead of on the Doctor's bed spoke volumes; White Coat was in charge.

Ianto wondered what method he was using to control the Doctor.

It was then that he heard the screaming.


White Coat raised a hand and the cries of pain from his property stopped. .

"Excellent, his Alpha waves are changing. Up the fear ratio five percent and the pain level ten percent."

"Careful," she said. "You really don't know what the complication will be. The pain or trauma could still kill him."

"Not feeling squeamish are you?" he said.

"No. he may be an alien, but even he must have his limits. He may survive, but will he be corpus mentis."

White Coat looked into the eyes of his property and wiped away a trickle of blood. "Apply the probes again."

There was a hiss which caused his property to open his eyes. They widened in fear as he saw needle sharp metal descend towards him.

"No please, I'll be good, no...no...no!"

Blood flowed as they pierced already damaged skin and the screams began again.

"Surely that's enough?" Dr Jeffries said.

"No, I need to rid him of any rebellious thoughts. I want an obedient attack dog, not a surly cur."

Dr Jeffries shrugged; all she wanted was revenge on one Jack Harkness and if she couldn't do it herself, then perhaps destroying the Doctor would.

She knew what this machine could do if a person was left for too long. Even if by some miracle Captain Harkness did find them and save his precious Doctor, there would be nothing left...well not mentally anyway.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be working," she lied. "His Alpha waves are not changing enough."

"Hmm, then perhaps we should leave him a while. Would you care for some lunch?"

Dr Jeffries smiled. "I would love some."

They left the room, ignoring the screams of pain and now terror that filled the air.


The Doctor tried to shut out the pain and the images that were flashing past him. He'd said he would be good...why didn't he believe him.

Now he knew there was no-one he could trust...he was on his own and he would bring this world down to its knees.
