Dale's gun going off mere centimetres from Ianto's forehead. Even in all the chaos, Jack heard the empty chamber click and his guts clenched. He can't help it, his thoughts go the extra step – seeing Ianto's head shatter from the bullet. Gone, dead forever.
It isn't the first time and perversely Jack hopes he has a hundred moments where the balance of Ianto's life scares the breath out of him. As long as Ianto keeps skirting those odds, Jack will bear the pain and fear. He knows it's a losing game. The Vegas system has better odds.
