rya-fire1: I guess he does, preference of poodles aside.

biancurath: I'll take your word for that. Ianto will probably do that after he finds out what John knows.

Feebleplatypus: thanks for the fave.

"Sometimes I wonder if we should both run away from Torchwood, live a mudane life somewhere."

"That would make Rhys and Ianto pretty mad."

"We could take them with us."

"Yeah. Of course if anyone ever found out I was immortal we'd have to say bye to pretending to be normal. Not that your not normal."

"I'm a bloody alien hunter Jack, of course I'm not normal. I guess the idea is silly anyway."

"I doubt either of us would ever do it but its nice to dream." They were both silent for a moment. "Its getting late you should get home."

"I can watch it by myself, if anything happens I'll call you. Good night Gwen."

"Good night." Jack watched her leave and when she was gone he sighed and turned back to the rift.
