Ianto parked at the start of the debris, no point popping tyres.

Ianto's first concern was for Ton and his shop, relieved to find the frontage blown in but Ton had been out in the back kitchen working on a wedding cake. Both he and Mel had been working on things, her baby safely in his little play pen in the corner back of the kitchen.

Ton was angry, demanding someone clean this mess up as his arms flapped, "how do I finish a cake in this mess!"

Ianto didn't miss a stride as he called out "Take it home. Finish it at ours, Take Mel and JR with you so her husband can fix their house!"

Chaos. Absolute carnage was everywhere. Windows gone, even cars had lost glass and some were even dented and shunted as he neared the remains of the building. Oh god, it was bad. Worse than he had thought and for an insane minute he was back at the bus bombing before he could stop the memory. He took a deep breath and let it out as Jack became visible staggering over the mess. He had been at the Chalets and had run down, as had Carl and Connor had followed.

Carl was hysterical as he pulled at the debris screaming for Jarred and Ianto felt sick as he tried to help. Soon they were unearthing people, dazed, confused and injured as more Hoodlums poured into the site from their respective homes in the village.

Ianto straightened up and looked around as he realised no one was in charge, as he had thought they were all panicking. He took a deep breath and whistled loud and clear.

"I want a triage tent erected there on the other side of the street, we need to let emergency vehicles through so I need large debris cleared from the road. Gerry, get the bloody fire engine closer, we need to douse the debris as well as the flames there could be more smouldering underneath! Millie can you help Brian check the hall out for damage then if possible open it for a crisis centre. Doris, please help with the triage can you? I want five or six Hoodlums with her!"

"I'll clear a space for the helicopters" Animal said as he turned to find Skidmark running towards them, his hairline creased with blood "Skid, are you OK man?"

"Was in the living room with the kids when she went up. They're OK, thank god the sofa is in front of the wall and they were all on the floor playing, just a bit of something hit me through the window." He said, Ianto reaching out to check.

"OK, good. Get the kids down to the Hoodlum home. ALL KIDS TO GO TO THE HOODLUM SAFE HOUSE!" Ianto roared, pointing down the lane towards his home.

What a fucking mess.
