"Boss?"
Ianto was in the kitchen idly tidying the cupboard his plastics were in. Tonny had struck again with muffin tins needed and Ianto did hate mess.
"Animal?"
"Boss… you know how got the last of the land around us so we are now able to fence off the entire feckin place?"
"Yes?"
"Well… we found something in the woods we just added to our boundary fencing that… well… look" Animal stepped forward and whipped out his phone letting Ianto take it to look at the different pictures with growing alarm.
"Has Jack seen this?"
"Came here first, he might… get all… Tank and Machine gun about it" Animal screwed his face up.
"Well… we need to have a closer look. I will get the bike" Ianto handed back the phone and frowned some more as he considered what they had shown him. An encampment. Someone was squatting on his feckin land.

Ianto sat astride the cross country motorbike with open annoyance as he looked through the binoculars down on the scene below where not only tents and a fire pit were obvious but the men now trying some weird style of fighting. They were on the other side of the mountain where their fire's smoke had not been noticed before, these pricks were dug in pretty good. Had been here a while by the look of it.
"Survivalists I reckon… or separatists. I don't think they are terrorists but… who knows. Whatever martial arts they think they are learning, it's pretty fucked up. They can't fight their way out of a paper bag with that bullshit" Skidmark comments as he sat astride his own 'beast' and watched with the rest of them.
"I don't see weapons" Ianto muttered, still scanning.
"No. I don't' think it's out Tank Buyers. I think these are the ones the Tank Buyers want to blow up maybe." Spaz pointed out.
"Time to tell Jack."

Jack did what Ianto knew he would do, he rampaged, ranted and spat as he circled the kitchen making all sorts of threats and after he had calmed a bit a little voice said "Parlay?"
They turned to find Hawk watching them with a look of interest "You think they wanna talk? Parlay is when you talk and no one gets hurt."
"Well done… yes. We will see if they want to parley before I blow their fucking shit up" Jack growled.
"Swear Jar!" Hawk pointed at him.
Ianto had a feeling that jar would soon be full.
