Chapter-2

As Gwen marched out of the hub, she couldn't remember the last time someone had infuriated her so much. How dare Owen freaking Harper escort her out of the hub? Closing her eyes, she tried to calm herself as the cab arrived at her flat.

Rhys, who was in the kitchen, heard Gwen closing the door. He came in as she threw her purse on the couch, and saw her disheveled appearance and swollen, red, tear-filled eyes.

''Gwenie, honey, what's wrong?" Rhys asked in a worried tone as he rushed to embrace her.

"Oh, Rhys, it's Ianto. He was on that plane that crashed today." Gwen sobbed.

As she clung to him, crying, Rhys steered them towards the couch. He and Ianto had become close friends since Gwen joined Torchwood. They went to the pub and rugby matches together, and as he held Gwen, he couldn't stop his own tears for the loss of his friend.

Owen had always hidden his emotions behind sarcasm, but Tosh knew that Owen cared deeply for Ianto. He once confided in her that Ianto was like the smart arse, snarky little brother he never had.

After leaving the hub, Owen sat in his car, parked in the Torchwood garage. His mind was bombarded with flashbacks of Ianto. There was something his brain was trying to recall, he had always felt it, but with the shock of Ianto's death, it had become more intense. Owen knew that he was exhibiting every sign of being retconned. He really needed to talk to Tosh. As Owen pulled out his mobile to call her, it started to ring.

As he saw the caller id, he answered quickly. "Oh shit, Tosh. What's wrong?"

Tosh sighed over the phone. "Owen, could you please come back to the hub. I will explain when you arrive. We're still in the conference room."

Tosh was surprised and thankful that Owen was still in the Torchwood parking garage, and would be there within minutes.

As Owen re-entered the hub, he had a feeling he would finally get answers to what his flashbacks were trying to reveal.

After news of the plane crash had spread, the Jones family gathered in the kitchen of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. They grieved the loss of a son, brother and father.

Rhiannon couldn't believe the news report. She had just talk to Ianto, but after countless calls it was confirmed. Her brother, Mr. Ianto Jones, was indeed booked on the flight 1171 to London. Ianto's parents' hearts broke, both for the loss of their son, and also for their grandson, Steven, who was playing with his cousins while waiting for a father who would never come.

Rhiannon was devastated by her brother's death; she had also kept secrets that her brother had trusted her with. Now she carried the burden of revealing those secrets to their parents.

She had convinced her parents that they should wait before telling Steven about his father. After Mica, David and Steven went to bed, Rhiannon asked to speak to both her parents in private. There were important things they needed to know about both Ianto and Steven.
