Ianto was startled to see both of them out here together this early. It was unusual to see Owen here before 10am and so see tosh arrive after 9am and more importantly...together! He thought for a while then realise why Owen and Tosh were always in the toilets or offering to go and get the pizza rather than Ianto order it then pick it up. But this wasn't the time to ask as Ianto's anger and sadness was causing his heart to rip apart.

It was clear to Ianto he would have to think of something quick.

Ianto froze.

"Tosh, Owen?" He questioned "What are you doing? I just forgot to get Ja ...Jack...Jack's"

Ianto stuttered as if he couldn't say his name. "coffee."

"Ianto tell me what's wrong, what happened?"Tosh said worryingly looking at her best friend. She had known Ianto long enough to figure out when something was wrong but this time, this time she had no idea what was making him act so weird, just that something terrible must have happened for Ianto not to ignore it and that was a big stretch for Ianto.

Iantos knees started to wobble violently; he started to breathe extremely fast as if he was hyperventilating. Ianto closed his eyes and fell to his knees, head bowed. Owen ran to his side putting one hand on Ianto's back and the other on his chest. Before placing his gun on the floor next to Ianto and puling some sort of alien medical device out of his pocket and scanning Ianto.

"Thats weird" Owen looked confused "From what I'm reading, he's fine!"

"But he's not fine! Just look at him" Tosh panicked "That's not normal and he's certainly not acting normal is he ?"Tosh brushed her hand through Ianto's hair whom was suddenly very quiet. No more fast breathing no more shaking and his eyes were wide open. Just staring at the floor.

"Ianto?" Owen said "Talk to me if you can hear me Ianto"

"Tosh, Owen, what the fuck is going on out there?" Jack practically screamed over the comms.

"Why aren't you out here yet Jack? " Owen huffed in annoyance.

"Were locked in" Jack sighed "Only opens from the outside, why the hell did we install that? i mean really what was the point? So you are going to have to open it there's a switch in the tourist office under the table the blue one NOT the red one okay? "

"Fucking great, Jack!" Owen said waving his hands in the air, back turned to Ianto and Tosh. "Jack ...Ianto is ..." Suddenly there was a small whimper that came from Tosh and then silence.

"Owen... Owen can you hear me ? "Jack stood still in his office awaiting the reply a worried Gwen standing impatiently.

Then Owen whispered "Ianto...Ianto listen to me this isn't you, Let Tosh go...."

"Owen what's happening? " Jack whispered pacing and cursing at himself for shutting the hub down.

"He's got Tosh in a choke hold ....And a gun to her head" Owen whispered not taking his eyes of Ianto.

"Now why did you have to go and say that huh ? " Ianto whimpered with a sad look on his face.

"Ianto let Tosh go" Owen said sternly his face going red.

"Oh I'm sorry Ianto can't answer the phone right now, May I take a message ? " Ianto smiled a devilish smile, his canines showing.

"Where's Ianto? His mind I mean..." Owen said confused. Which also got a confused look from Tosh who was very calm.

"Oh he's here. He's just a little....how you say ...Reluctant to having someone else at the wheel" Then suddenly Ianto put his other hand to his head and yelped in pain. "Tosh... help me ... it hurts so much," he whispered in her ear.

Ianto screamed releasing Tosh to put his other hand to his head but accidently tripped Tosh up and she fell. The concrete floor welcoming her with a smack to the head and she didn't move.

The monster inside Ianto got in control "Stupid .....ugh...Insect..." he grunted.

Owen went to run to Tosh but the monster grabbed the gun and shot Owen in the leg right below the knee cap. Owen yelped, falling swiftly to the ground his hands applying pressure to the wound.]

"Owen , Tosh " Jack shouted, his face fuming with worry. "Gwen hurry up and try and get us outta' here "

"On it Jack came the reply as she bashed at the keyboard.

Ianto started to run. He ran faster and faster until he couldn't breathe. Ianto looked around. He was under a small bridge Slowly being engulfed by Ivy and moss. The monster wasn't in control, at least he couldn't feel him in control as he made himself run. Ianto knew he was there; just in the comer of his mind like a song you just can't remember the tune to.
