"He's gone Jack," Owen said, his hand on Ianto's neck. "I'm sorry."
Jack was shaking uncontrollably, that bastard had lied to him! He said he wouldn't kill Yan. Jack almost laughed at the thought, how could he have expected anything more from John fucking Hart.
He was going to get revenge that was for sure, sweet just revenge for his poor tea-boy lover.
"Oh God," Owen's choked sob broke Jack out of his mind.
"What?" he snapped, causing everyone in the room to jump.
Owen tried to meet Jack's rage filled eyes but he failed every time, "Well… John he umm… well…"
"GET TO THE FUCKING POINT OWEN!" Jack yelled, tears were beginning to form in his eyes.
"John raped him, Jack," Owen said bluntly.
Something snapped in Jack's mind, he stormed over to Tosh and ripped the PA they'd been tracking John's wristwatch on, from her and ran out of the ship. He ignored Gwen's exclamations of anger as her jumped into the SUV, he didn't give two shits if they were going to be stranded here. This was their fault too, they shouldn't have given in so easily, shouldn't have given over Ianto so carelessly.
It didn't surprise Jack to find the signal from John's watch was coming from outside of the hub. John was a cocky bastard, he'd probably come back to gloat.
Sure enough as the immortal stepped out of the SUV John was leaning casually against the door to the fake tourist office.
Ianto's fake tourist office.
John grinned widely. "Jacky boy! I'm guessing you found Eye Candy?"
Jack growled and grabbed the front of John's t-shirt, stained with Ianto's blood, and hauled him up into the air, slamming him against the wall, his fist against the bastard's throat.
John didn't even flinched, he just grinned manically at Jack. "He was a damn good lay, Jack," he sneered. "So fucking tight! I see why you like him."
Jack growled and pulled out his gun, holding it to John's temple. "Give me one fucking reason why I shouldn't John," he said the fake name in a mocking tone.
John ignored his question, "He never cried Jack," he jeered again. "Not once, you should be proud. He did say your name though. Every time I fucked him so hard," the renegade Time Agent rubbed his groin against Jack's stomach. "Jack, Jack, Jack," he whined in a cured attempt at Ianto's beautiful Welsh voice. "He thought you were coming for him Jack. He thought you would save him. How's it feel? Knowing you let him down so badly."
BANG.
Jack fired his gun straight into John's scull. He let go of the man's shirt and let him drop to the floor where he gazed at the body of his ex-lover in disgust.
"It feels shit."
The Happier Ending"I've got a pulse!" yelled Owen in disbelief.
Jack stared at him stunned and bolted over to the medic. "He's alive?" he asked, barely letting himself belief.
Owen nodded, "Just. We need to get him down."
Jack pulled out his knife and pried each nail out of Ianto's palms. The young man slumped down onto Jack's shoulder and slowly Jack lay him down on the ground.
"Can you save him Owen?" asked Jack, suddenly feeling very small and powerless.
"Physically, yes," sad Owen sadly, looking over Ianto's wounds. "Emotionally… he's been raped Jack, and badly tortured. I don't see how Ianto can come back from this one."
Jack's fists clenched at the word rape and he stood up. "Can you take him back to the Hub via the SUV?" he asked.
Owen shook his head, "I'll need an ambulance."
"Gwen!" Jack roared at the frightened woman who was still more preoccupied with her unhurt husband than with Ianto. "Call an ambulance. Tosh you're with me!"
He grabbed Tosh's wrist and pulled her cruelly away from her crying mother., he led her straight to the SUV and all but shoved her into the passenger seat before leaping into the driver's.
"Where's John now?" he growled.
She checked the PA she'd been tracking John's wristwatch on. "He's outside the Hub," she said confused.
Jack snorted, typical John, a right cocky bastard. Jack drove even wilder than he usually didn't, probably breaking every road law in the book and didn't stop until he was outside the Hub.
He could see John leaning casually against the fake tourist office door.
Ianto's fake tourist office.
"Stay here," he ordered Tosh, reaching into his back pocket for his gun.
"What are you going to do Jack?" asked Tosh, for the first time since joining Torchwood, afraid of her mysterious boss.
"Stay here," he repeated more forcefully. He climbed out of the SUV and walked towards John, gun at his side.
John pushed off the wall, "Jacky boy! I'm guessing you found Eye-"
Jack shot him. Twice. Once in the head, another in the chest. John was dead before he hit the ground.
Jack sighed in relief and returned to the SUV where Tosh had been watching with wide eyes.
"Let's go see Ianto," she said soothingly as she touched his shoulder.
"Yeah."
