In the end the files had got them no closer to discovering what linked all those disappearing in the house. Either they were missing something, the connection was something not recorded in the files, or the house was simply attracting the easily impressionable.

The Doctor decided the only way they'd find out what the connection was, was to go back to the house the again. The first time, they hadn't been able to determine what exactly had caused Ianto to collapse, so this time he was remaining in the TARDIS, communicating via blue tooth.

After a good night's sleep, the Doctor and Jack spent the morning gathering all the tech that they thought they'd need, whilst Ianto attempted to tell them what the writing on the wall had said. However every attempt was interrupted by something and in the end Ianto was distracted by the video link the Doctor set up for him.

"Right, we'll keep in touch the whole time," the Doctor continued as he tapped in one final command to the computer station he'd assigned Ianto to. "If we get into trouble then contact your guys back at Torchwood. But only as a last resort."

Ianto nodded.

"Ok," he said, fixing his blue tooth headset to his ear.

"Come on Jack," the Doctor gestured for the American to follow him.

"See you later," Jack said quietly to Ianto.

"You better," Ianto warned. The last time Jack had left he hadn't returned for four months.

Once they were at the house had had sneaked past the security once again using their portable perception filters, the Doctor began setting up various detectors throughout the rooms, checking upstairs since he hadn't got the chance last time.

Jack went back to the front room where Ianto had collapsed, marking out the area on the wall where Ianto had said he'd read something. Maybe if he stared at it long enough he'd be able to see the writing too.

He'd meant to ask Ianto about it, but the other man had been avoiding talking to him and kept trying to start conversations with the Doctor instead. Jack sighed slightly.

"You know, if you want to know what's written there you could just ask," Ianto's voice floated down his ear piece.

Jack jumped. He'd forgotten that Ianto was watching.

"Thought you weren't talking to me?" Jack asked, smiling slightly to himself.

"I wasn't, but then I decided that perhaps that was a bit harsh," Ianto replied.

"What changed?"

"I spoke to the Doctor," Ianto paused and Jack could almost hear him as he squirmed. "I can see why you abandoned us to go with him."

"I didn't abandon you," Jack said sadly. "I was always going to come back and if I'd known how far out the time was going to be I'd have left a message."

"Yeah… if you could turn back time…" Ianto sounded like he'd heard it all before.

The Doctor wandered from room to room, checking for signs of the Weeping Angels, Polograts and any other alien that he could think of that would attract people only to 'disappear' them.

As far as he could tell, this was nothing he'd ever encountered before. He scratched his chin in thought.

"Hmmm, this could be more difficult than I thought," he said to himself pulling out the Sonic Screwdriver and continuing his sweep of the house.

Jack took a few photos of the spot on the wall. Ianto had been quiet for some minutes now and he had assumed that the Welshman had gone to make some coffee, or was simply ignoring him.

"I still love you, you know," Jack said quietly, more to himself than Ianto. Even if the other man was there, he probably wouldn't appreciate yet another attempt to be won back.

"I know," Ianto replied, surprising Jack again.

"Maybe when we figure out what's going on here we could-"

"Maybe," Ianto agreed cutting across him. "But you need to a lot of explaining to the others as well as me."

"I already visited them," Jack said without thinking.

"You what?" Ianto sounded less than amused.

"Well, that's where I thought you'd be," Jack ran a hand through his hair.

"Oh…"

Jack glanced back at the wall in front of him.

"So what does the writing say?" He asked.

"It says; 'Imagine a place where anything is possible. Where you can leave in a dream world of your own crea… of your own…"

Jack frowned slightly.

"Ianto, are you ok?" He asked.

There was a loud thud and then nothing. It sounded like Ianto had collapsed again. Turning, Jack headed for the door to go and find the Doctor and tell him what had happened. The pair almost ran into each other on the stairs.

"What's wrong?" The Doctor asked seeing the distressed look on Jack's face.

"Ianto tried to tell me what the writing on the wall said and he collapsed again," Jack babbled quickly.

The Doctor's frown deepened.

"That mean's it's not confined to the house… it's something to do with the messages…" he ruffled his hair with his hands. "Oh this is bad. It's taking the mind… then the body…"

He suddenly stopped.

"Oh…"

"Oh what?" Jack asked.

"We have to get back to the TARDIS. Now."
