Jack pulled roughly at he brass handle on the drawer and it slid out soundlessly, slowly revealing the antique coffin-like box, the blue light stuck deeply against the lines on Jacks face. Suddenly he looked quite old and weary, as though he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and he was being sunk down into it, his shoulders dropped and he heaved a great sigh running his fingertips across the thick glass.
"Grey" tears began to smart in his eyes and he let them run freely down his cheeks." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sorry" He repeated the words over and over whispering to the box till his voice was husky and broken.
Jack looked at the clock on the wall he had been here for 2 hours, the team would be beginning to arrive soon, and if he knew Ianto (which he did) he would arrive at 7am precisely. His eyes shot back to box as e swore he saw grey's eyes flicker.
"Grey?"
Jack jumped back as his brother eyes snapped open and connected with his own. Jack stood suspended in disbelief as a single hand burst through the thick glass and grasped the side of the box, blood dripping from the torn knuckles.
Grey climbed out of the box slowly, never once taking his eyes of Jack, his hands clasped in tight fists, his brow crumpled in anger. H took one step forward but Jack didn't move Grey seemed to glow as the cold blue light hit the tiny crystals on his skin and hair.
"Jack? You abandoned me again" Jacks mouth hung open mouthing silent words, shaking his head. "I told you will pay, and you will" Grey smiled; his eyes alight with torture and pain.

Ianto slipped into the door of the tourist office and placed the paper tray of coffees down on the desk and shifted the cardboard box from his hip onto the oak desk. This should be the new leaflets he thought to himself, striping off the cello tape and removing the leaflets he began to pack them onto the metal rotary display. Ianto always liked to keep the tourist office up to date-it made for a better disguise.
Ianto took the coffee tray onto the palm of his hand and walked down into the hub, at first glance he could see no wrong so he made his way across the stone floor, dappled light coming in through the vents at the top of the hub played across his lithe suited body across his body as he reached Jacks office with a hop and a skip, rapping lightly on the door he entered, not looking up he called cheerfully
"Hullo Jack I've brought you your coffees all three of them" He looked up with a smile that quickly faded; Jack wasn't in his usual position seated behind the polished wooden desk. "Jack?"
Ianto ran around the hub franticly, looking for his lost lover , Gwen found him an hour later standing staring at the empty coffin and holding a small piece of blue fabric, a small piece of bloodstained fabric.
The both of them stood in front of him and Gwen shook his arms gently, bringing him back round
"Jacks, gone" Ianto said in a hollowed voice, his eyes not removing from their position on the broken glass.
"Ianto what do you mean gone?" Gwen said quickly "Gone where?"
"Taken"
"Taken by who, what was in that vault?"
Gwen walked to the front of the draw and read the small label on the front; she looked up her eyes filled with horror.
"Grey" Ianto whispered.
……………………………………………………………………………………………....
"Take a left!" Ianto nodded although he knew Gwen couldn't see him, taking the turning sharply, the tires of the SUV screeching on the rain soaked road.
"Ok your there, I'm sending you the CCTV from an hour ago it appears he has got help"
Ianto pulled the screen across in front of the steering wheel and watched as a tiny Grey hauled Jack out of the back of a van, the collar and leash cutting into his neck as grey led him across the car park and into the building quickly followed by a group of humanoid creatures.
Gwen's voice rang into his ear once more "Ianto? They look nasty be careful"
Ianto climbed out of the SUV and tucked his gun into his pocket, he strode quickly across the car park and put his back up against the weathered brick wall next to the peeling metal door though which Grey had taken Jack.
Ianto took a deep breath and lunged through the door, kicking it open with a loud clang and rushing inside, surprising the creatures inside. The first turned around and lunged at him teeth bared, without any thought Ianto pulled his gun out of his pocket and shot it in dead center in the head, causing deep crimson blood to leak from the wound as the creature crashed to the floor. Ianto did not stay to watch as he strode on, impassively shooting and disabling the creatures around him. His eyes burned with a black fire and his face seemed to be shadowed, he had one thought in his mind.
Get to Jack
Finally Ianto reached the final room, dead in the center of the building, a room with no windows, he didn't pause to plan out what he was going to do his kicked down this door too and charged in gun raised. Grey turned round in surprise, the whip he had been flaying jack with hung loosely in his hand and Ianto marched towards him and grabbed him by the throat pushing him roughly up against the wall.
"Get of him" he snarled" He does not deserve this and you know it, hurt him one more time and I will show true terror the likes of which those 'creatures' couldn't" Ianto held his grasp for a few more seconds , Grey's face turning puce before he passed out and Ianto let him slide to the floor .
The younger man turned around and rushed to Jack whose head hung limply on his chest. Holding the older mans face up he roused him.
"Jack? I've come to save you" he whispered, Jack just looked up in disbelief.
"Ianto? My super Ianto" he whispered a small smile played across his lips.
"Ianto what's going on?" Ianto ignored Gwen voice as he helped Jack out of his restraints and wrapping his jacket around the older mans shoulders
