Chapter 19: Confrontation

Jack, The Doctor, Tosh and Owen had arrived at their destination half an hour before the time John wanted them to meet.
Owen and the Doctor were in place, well out of the view from the warehouse and Tosh and Jack were waiting in the SUV by front entrance of the building.

"You look scared" Jack said, seeing the look of pure nervousness on Tosh's face.
Tosh laughed slightly and looked at Jack. "I'm a little nervous."
"It's me that should be scared."
The technician smiled and placed a comforting hand on the Captain's shoulders. "This plan will work Jack. I know it will. We're going to get Ianto back, and then you're going to Retcon that bastard of a Captain into oblivion."

Jack smiled down and Tosh and held her into a tight embrace. "Thank you so much for everything you've done the past few weeks."
"You don't have to thank me. You would have done the same for me."
"I owe you my life Toshiko. I know that you'll make Ianto feel safe until I come back."
"Of course I will."

Jack was about to reply to Tosh when all of a sudden, a bright flash of light appeared from inside the warehouse.
"It's them." Jack said softly, his legs suddenly becoming like jelly.

The door of the warehouse opened, and the figure of Captain John Hart appeared.
Tosh had to restrain the Captain as he felt him jolt, wanting to run forward and hit the man in front of them.

"Ahh, Captain Jack. I've missed you." Hart said with a leer.
"Where's Ianto?" Jack shouted, trying to pull Tosh's arms off from should his own.
"I thought you'd want to see me?" the younger of the two men whimpered, pulling the saddest face he could muster.
"GIVE ME BACK IANTO!" Jack screamed, finally getting rid of Tosh's grip on his arms, and running forward to he was in front of John. He reached his hand up and clamped it around the other mans throat, squeezing tightly.

After a struggle, Jack pulled his hands away and pushed John on the floor, running into the warehouse.

On the floor lay Ianto - clad in only blood stained boxers. There was a dirty piece of cloth being used for a gag and a piece of rope was tying his wrists tightly behind his back. He had cuts, bruises and welts all over his body. The scene in front of him was scarily similar to the one in Brecon Beacons.

A sob escaped his throat as he ran towards the body and knelt down next to it. He heaved the body up onto his knees and held it close. As he held the unconscious Ianto in his arms, he undid the gag and the ropes that were binding his lover together.
Jack began to sob loudly as he realised the extent of Ianto's injuries. He could see fresh blood running down Ianto's from in-between his legs and down his thighs.

"Ianto, baby, wake up" Jack began to call, running his hands over Ianto's face, tapping him gently. It took a long time for Ianto to open his eyes, but when he did, the look of pain and fear that Jack was greeted with was frightening.

"…Jack…Ianto croaked gently, not believing that it was his lovers face in front of him.
"Oh God…Yan…It's me. I'm here. You're safe now."

Jack quickly wrapped his arms around Ianto as he began to ear-splittingly sob and shake violently. The Captain let out all of his emotions that he had been trying to keep to himself for the past few weeks.
"It's okay Yan, you're safe now. I've got you. He won't touch you again; I'll make sure of it."

It must have been well over half an hour when Captain John came over and tried to pull a broken Jack away from an equally broken lover.
"Give me a little while longer" Jack snapped, moving one arm away from Ianto's shaking body and attempting to slap John.

"The longer we leave it, the less time we'll have to plan reforming the Time Agency.
"Then we'll just have to have less time."
John snarled angrily and stomped away. He went and stood next to Tosh, who was watching the two lovers with tears streaming down her face.

Jack moved an arm from around Ianto's naked flesh and placed it delicately on his face, making the younger man look at him.
"Don't go…" Ianto croaked sadly, gripping hold of Jack's coat in utter desperation. "You can't go. He's told me of the plans for the Time Agency. I can't let you be a part of that."
Jack gave Ianto a sad smile, kissed him gently on the forehead and then whispered in his ear "I have a plan, don't worry."

The look Ianto gave him was heartbreakingly hopeful. "Really?" Jack simply nodded and brushed a gentle kiss on Ianto's lips.
"Trust me" The older man whispered, pulling away from Ianto's mouth.
"What's going to happen?" Ianto croaked, trying to pull himself closer to Jack.
"Tosh is just over there." Jack lifted one arm and pointed in the direction of Tosh, keeping his eyes firmly on Ianto. "She's going to take you to Owen, and they're both going to look after you."

"What about you?" The young man said sadly.
"I'm going to go with John." Ianto tensed. "Then I'll come back. I promise."

Ianto looked at Jack and gave him a look of complete longing and hope. "Yeah?"
"Of course baby. Tosh is going to look after you so well until I get back"

The younger man opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted when Captain John came stomping over to them. "I'm putting my foot down now. Jack, give Eye Candy to Very Pretty Girl over there and then we're going."

Jack looked down at the man in his arms and gave him a sad smile. When Ianto nodded back, tears began to form in his eyes. With great care, Jack managed to lift Ianto's broken body from the floor and into his arms so he was holding him in a bridal fashion.

He then slowly walked past John, giving him a look of complete venom, and then went over to Tosh. The moment that Ianto saw his best friends, more tears began to fall.
"We have to take him to the car now." Jack whispered to Tosh, running a hand through his lover's hair. "Owen needs to check him over."

Tosh nodded turning her back on the two men and headed towards the SUV. Jack was just about to follow, when John placed a heavy hand on his shoulder. "Don't think you're going to escape Jack." He snarled warningly.
"I don't." He replied, walking away.

Jack lay down Ianto carefully on the backseat of the SUV, wincing as the young man yelped in agony as his sensitive skin touched the leather of the seats.
"Shhh Shhh." Jack soothed, rubbing his hand over Ianto's face, trying to comfort him.
"Do you have to go?" Ianto sniffed, reaching his hand up and touching Jack's own.

Jack didn't say anything, he just nodded sadly. "I'll be back soon though. I promise."
"What's going to happen to you?" Ianto whispered, moving his head to the side and kissing Jack's hand.
"Tosh and Owen will explain when you get back to the Hub."

Ianto nodded and tried to pull Jack's body closer so he could be held. Jack tried to comply, but the booming voice of Captain John's stopped him.
"JACK! JUST LEAVE HIM. YOUR MINE NOW."

John violently pulled Jack away from Ianto's body and held him to his own chest. "Your mine."
"Just let me say goodbye!" Jack snapped, trying to pull himself away.
"You've said your goodbyes Jack. We have to go."

With that, John pressed the button on his wrist-strap and the two men were teleported to an unknown destination.

Poor Ianto and Jack :(
