Chapter Three

Sweet Reunion

Peter

My eyes were now on the body which lay on the ground. It had been a quick decision, not something that I usually did. Dirty blonde hair now covered most of his face with purple peaking through the small gaps. There was a small bulge in his pants that made me feel sick in the stomach. Jack's eyes were still on me when I looked up again. John's eyes though had moved to the direction of the bulge.

"Oh I haven't seen that for awhile." He remarked, grinning like a schoolboy.

"Shame it isn't for you." I replied moving away from the body. "He's all yours now though." I added leaving the cell.

Outside the police station I couldn't help but vomit on the sidewalk before pulling out a packet of cigarettes. While on holiday in Australia I had taken up smoking to keep my mind off the insomnia. I lit the cigarette and stood there for a few moments with my eyes closed, my head leaning back against the brick wall. Putting the cigarette to my lips I blew a few times watching the smoke rise up into the sky. After awhile the sick feeling in my stomach had started to fade.

"Since when have you been smoking?" Jack asked now standing next to me. I hadn't heard him walk up but he was like that sometimes if he wanted to be, silent and mysterious.

"Is there anything wrong with it?" I asked with a faint smile.

"No as it's your choice I guess." He answered putting an arm around my shoulders moving me in a bit closer and kissed my forehead. "But smoking after vomiting...."

I laughed and stubbed out the cigarette with my shoe. Taking up smoking wasn't a regret but it made a few members of my family a bit angry. The strange thing though was that they hadn't tried to stopped me but let me take up. I guess that they accepted that it was my choice to take up the nasty habit. I looked back at Jack who smiled before leaning in to kiss me softly on the lips.

"Please tell me that you are over me." He said and moved back with a smile.

"I'm over you Jack, have been for four months." I replied with a small smile. It was the truth as my feelings for him were gone replaced by the painful feelings for someone else.

Jack nodded and kissed me again, fully on the mouth. It felt more meaningless though like he was doing it for the enjoyment. We were soon interrupted by the sounds of footsteps running down the steps of the police station. I looked over to see John walk over to where we stood. His clothes were covered in a yellow goo like substance. Jack burst out laughing making me jump in surprise.

"It's not funny Jack!" John scolded getting quite angry.

"Yes it is quite funny!" Jack replied with a grin. "It's not the first time that's happened though."

"What happened?" I asked looking John over with curiosity showing in my blue eyes. "Where's your 'friend'?"

"He's dead, died from being too sexually aroused." John answered trying not to touch the goo with his hands.

"Damn, now we won't know who killed that man." I remarked before I realised what else he had said. "So the yellow goo is....?"

"Yep and as I said it's not the first time it's happened!" Jack replied with a smile and taking out his mobile phone. "Still it's funny!"

"It's not Jack, especially since it's not where I want it to be." John explained and saw the packet of cigarettes in my hand but said nothing.

"Stop complaining." Jack told him before he was interrupted. "Ianto, can you and Gwen make your way to the police station, we have a little situation."

Twenty minutes later I was the only one outside as Jack and John had gone back inside to inspect the body. A cigarette in my hand, my third for the evening and my head leaning against the brick wall with my eyes closed. Jack had told me to wait outside for Gwen and Ianto to arrive. Putting the cigarette to my lips again I couldn't help but look around my surroundings. There weren't many people around on this fine Saturday night which wasn't a surprise because people were either drinking in pubs or dancing in nightclubs all around Cardiff.

"Peter, is that you?" A feminine welsh accent asked from the bottom of the stairs leading into the station. I looked up to see Gwen and Ianto standing there. I stubbed out my cigarette and made my way over to them.

"Hey, Jack asked me to wait out here for you." I replied with a grin. "He's in there with Captain John Hart." I added.

"What's he doing here?" Gwen asked with a stern look on her face.

"He was arrested fighting in a bar with a man who is now dead." I explained and put the packet of cigarettes into my pocket. "The man in question knew who pushed the man off the building."

"How did he die?" Ianto asked from behind Gwen.

"You might want to ask John that question." I replied with a small smile. "I will warn you though that the cause of death is pretty disgusting."

Ianto nodded and walked up the stairs while Gwen stayed behind. She wrapped her arms around me with a smile.

"Welcome back, how was your holiday?" She asked kissing me on the cheek.

"Yeah really good but to be honest I was a little homesick." I replied with a smile and kissing her right back on the cheek. "Cardiff is my home now; Australia's just where my family lives." I added resisting the urge to reach for the cigarettes.

"Anything interesting happen while on holiday?" She asked eyeing my hand reaching for my pocket.

"My mum got engaged to an old family friend." I replied with a small smile. "The wedding in September."

"Wow that must be good news." She said with a grin.

"Well good and bad." I explained with a sort of frown. "The good news is that my mum's happy for the first time in ages, bad news is that I haven't been able to get along with him."

"That can happen especially if you had a good relationship with your father." Gwen assured me putting a hand on my shoulder. "Ok seriously what was the real cause of death?"

I smiled and tried not think about it in fear of more vomit but I answered her question.

"Um he died from an erection." I answered quite seriously to assure her that it wasn't a joke. "Don't ask me how though."

She stood there a bit stunned at what I had just told her. I had thought it was strange as well when I realised what John's clothes were covered with. A few minutes later I saw Jack and Ianto carrying a body down the stairs of the station with John walking behind.

"Gwen do you want a ride back?" I asked looking back at Gwen.

"Good idea, especially since they won't have enough room." Gwen replied with a smile.

"I'm taking Gwen back if that's alright?" I told Jack when they reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Of course, could you take back John as well?" Jack asked when they stopped.

I looked at John who gave a seductive smile. "Alright as long as he is quiet."

Jack laughed. "Ok also after you dropped them off you go straight home alright?"

"Why? I'm part of the team aren't I?"

"Yes but I want you to look up on the EBay to see if there has been any rift keys have been sold in the last month or so." Jack answered. "You might want to be alone to do that."

I nodded. "Was the victim found with a rift key?"

Jack nodded before carefully carrying the body to the SUV with Ianto.

I turned to Gwen and John.

"This has been one interesting night." I remarked.
