Chapter 3
It was day three of the children crisis and a group of kids was roaming the sewers. They came upon Jack sleeping naked in a corner.
The youngest boy, who was ten, asked, "Is he dead?"
"No, he's breathing," A teenaged boy replied.
"Should we call the police?" The eight-year-old girl, who was looking at a wall asked.
"No, let's give him Uncle Tom's new clothes. Maybe then he'll leave." A five-year-old girl answered.
"No one can get him to leave. I hope Ianto talks to him soon." Another teenage boy responded.
At the name Ianto, Jack woke up and asked, "Ianto Jones?"
"Yes, he's our neighbor," The youngest girl replied.
"Do you know an Ianto Jones?" The second teenaged boy asked.
"I work with one," Jack replied.
The first teenaged boy pulled out his mobile and showed Jack a picture of Ianto and said, "This is our neighbor."
"That is the Ianto I work with," Jack replied and then asked, "Do you think you can show me where he lives?"
"Sure, after we bring you some clothes," The eight-year-old girl stated.
"That is a good idea. Please hurry." Jack said.
"Alright but you have to help us get our uncle to move out. He is causing problems for our mom." The first teenager demanded.
"Okay," Jack agreed.
The group of kids took off and Jack went back to sleep.
In the warehouse, Jack was complete and cocooned in barbed wire. Grey was drilling into the top of Jack's head. Jack was screaming.
Grey stopped drilling and quickly put a nail in the hole.
"It's not going to work," Jack said.
Grey pushed the nail through Jack's skull and into the brain. Jack screamed.
"Yes, it will!" Grey exclaimed and then he let go of the nail.
The nail shot out of Jack's head like a rocket with a glitter trail. Grey screams with frustration.
"I told you," Jack smiled.
Grey was enraged so he pulled on the barbed wire. As the barbed wire unraveled from around Jack it dug deep into his skin. Jack screamed while Grey laughed.
Once the barbed wire was completely off of Jack, Grey threw a piece of rebar into Jack. The rebar skewered Jack to the wall. Jack screamed. Grey impaled Jack with another piece of rebar and another.
While Grey was impaling Jack with rebar all Jack could do was think about Ianto's smile, body, and touch.
When there were ten pieces of rebar through Jack and he looked like he passed out Grey started to wrap the barbed around him again.
Jack was conscious he was just focusing on his friends, family, and people he lost to keep from screaming in pain. He visualized the smiles of the two faces of the doctor he knew, Rose, Martha, Owen, Toshiko, Gwen, Ianto, and many others. When the pain got too much he imagined the fun times, the laughter and the good times he had with his friends and lovers.
