Ianto watched Jack step back and suppressed a sigh of disappointment, but time was against them and they had to get back to work soon. He looked at Jack as he reached down to check his tie. 'I suppose we should go then.' He surveyed his kitchen but there was nothing that couldn't wait to be put away later. Except, how was he supposed to focus on work when his brain was still melting from Jack's kisses. The man could melt polar ice caps, maybe that was the real reason for global warming. And they had only kissed, god help him when Jack did make love to him, he might spontaneously combust, but what a way to go. They moved from the kitchen and into the living room where he watched Jack looking around.

'I never got the tour.'

'Maybe next time.'

Jack sighed, there would be time enough to explore Ianto's world, now was about moving back into the reality of Suzie having funded her shoe fetish on his credit card, for no better reason than she could. 'Your right, lets find those sandwiches and get back to the office. Hopefully we can wrap the rest of today up quickly and then we can all get on with our lives.'

Ianto looked at Jack, he didn't have much for a frame of reference, having only met the man when he interviewed for, and got the job three weeks ago. Was Jack sad or just surprised that Suzie had spent his money. And then there was his comment about wanting to make sure he knew who was making love to him. Did the man think he wouldn't know? Doubt was edging into his periphery as he followed Jack. Perhaps it was a fair comment, he hadn't exactly had sex with anyone since Dylan, but he was hardly going to lie back, close his eyes and think of another man. They weren't even the same height or build for a start. It wasn't going to take a genius to figure out who he was having sex with.

He shook his head slightly, had he actually told Jack that it sounded like heaven when the man had spoken about making love... He sighed softly as Jack looked back at him and smiled. Of course his eyes would sparkle when he smiled. Ianto tried not to sigh again, his brain was still clearly experiencing some sort of sensory overload. It didn't matter how long he'd been gay, no one referred to another person's eyes as sparkling when they smiled.

Jack looked at Ianto and wondered where the man's thoughts had taken him as he handed him a sandwich. Where ever it was he wondered if Ianto wanted company as they walked back towards the warehouse. His brain jumped to considering how he felt about Suzie having spent so much money on shoes. Violated sprung to mind. It was like she had poisoned his world, taken something that might not have been virginal, but was at least sort of pure in a world gone mad. And she'd broken the trust he held for his people. He'd doubted his team, checked for alibis and had to send two of them after one of their own. He understood a little of the haunted expression in the eyes of some of his clients. It was the same expression he'd seen looking back at him from his mirror the first time he'd caught John cheating on him. It made his world a smaller, sadder place and he didn't like it.

And then he looked at Ianto and he could feel the sun shining again for the brief moment it took him until doubt cast it's shadow, plunging him back into the darkness. It might have been a year but that didn't mean the man was ready to make love with someone new. He didn't want to doubt that it was him Ianto had seen when he'd kissed the man. Neither of them had shut their eyes though so he wondered if he could take it on trust that it had been him Ianto had been responding too. Jack stood at the door to the warehouse and punched his entry code in, holding it open for Ianto before following him inside, stepping from the light into the cool darkness of his world. He just hoped that wasn't some sort of artistic symmetry or metaphor for his life. Lights started to come on as sensors picked up their presence moving with them towards the table in the middle of the area surrounded by desks and computers. They were the first one's back.

Tosh found Jack and Ianto eating sandwiches as they made eyes at each other. She stood there grinning for at least five minutes before they even noticed her presence. She was about to cough just to let them know they weren't alone any more when Jack spoke.

'How far away are they Tosh?'

She checked her phone. 'About ten minutes.'

Jack just nodded as he finished his sandwich and pulled his own phone out and hit dial. 'It's me... Yeah... Ten... Thank you.'

Ianto looked at Jack. 'Well as far as cryptic goes, that wins hands down.'

'I know.' He grinned before his face softened. 'Coffee?' He held his hands up as if praying while he gave Ianto his best puppy dog eyes. Fingertips brushing his lips.

Ianto just nodded as he tossed his rubbish in the bin. 'Am I making enough for your secret friend?'

'Probably should, except I have no idea if he even drinks coffee.'

'I'm sure someone will drink it, Sir.'

Tosh just shook her head as she logged back into her computer.

Ianto was back with the coffees when he heard a familiar voice boom out across the room.

'Eye candy? Did you miss me?'

'You were gone?' He watched John look him over with greedy eyes that moved to the tray of mugs he was holding.

'Coffee, for me, and I didn't get you a present.'

'Your absence was present enough.'

John sipped his coffee as he thought about what Ianto had just said. 'Isn't that supposed to be the other way around?'

Ianto just raised his eyebrows before walking away.

'I'm forgetting something.' John put his coffee cup down and slapped his forehead. 'Doh, the prisoner.' He spun around but saw Owen leading her into the room where he shoved her into a chair.

'Sit.'

'Oh funny Owen.' A head of curly hair spun around as eyes settled on an unfamiliar face. 'You must be his eye candy. He never shut up about you. Dead annoying really. You know who I am?'

Ianto gave her the merest glimpse of a smile before his face resumed a neutral expression. 'Coffee?'

'I could murder one, thanks.' She glared at Owen. 'Nice to see someone with manners.'

Owen leaned over her, his arms folded. 'You lost that right Suzie when I had to go to France and get you.' He glanced back at John. 'With him.'

'What? I said I'd be gentle.' John looked around and frowned. 'I see eye candy, where is our fearless leader?'

Jack walked into the room followed by another man.

John smiled as he instantly moved into flirt mode. 'Well if it isn't officer hottie. Did you bring your handcuffs or do you want me to get mine?'

'That's DS Davidson to you, Hart.'

'Your no fun either. But you have brought a friend with you.' John moved around Jack and the Detective Sergeant as he spotted a dark haired young woman in uniform. 'And don't you have pretty eyes.'

'PC Cooper, you would do well to ignore him.'

'Yes Sir.'

'Oh, and Welsh, I think I'm in love.'

Ianto rolled his eyes, really, that was all it took? Green eyes and a Welsh accent and he was forgotten, if he'd known it would be that easy he would have found John a friend on Monday and spared himself several days of innuendo and unwanted attention.

Suzie shifted in her seat. 'Hello, remember me, the embezzler?' She rolled her eyes as she looked from one person to the next. 'This is why it was so damn easy to steal your money Jack, you lot are like a bunch of kids. How did you even find out it was me?'

Jack turned towards her and gave her a chilling smile. 'Is that an admission of guilt?'

She shook her head. 'God I walked right into that didn't I.'

'Suzie Costello I am arresting you on suspicion of theft, you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention something which you later rely on in court. Anything you say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?'

She looked at him and smiled. 'Little Andy Davidson, all promoted to Sergeant now.'

'Do you understand?'

She hissed. 'Yes.' Rising from the chair she stood there as she was handcuffed. 'God this is ridiculous. If you let them charge me Jack you'll never see your money.'

He shrugged. 'I didn't even know it was missing until yesterday.'

'So how the hell did you find out? Was it him? The eye candy? I should have been here to run him off too.'

Jack held a hand up to stop Andy as he was about to lead Suzie away. 'What?'

'You didn't really think they all left because John kept hitting on them do you?' She laughed. 'Think about it Jack.'

'Normally someone who has just been arrested for theft and cautioned, isn't trying to convince everyone else of how much smarter they are.'

She snorted. 'Come on, I'm not stupid, you must have a file an inch thick with itemised receipts. I know you.'

'Clearly not enough to realise I was on to you.'

'You weren't, was it your new tea boy with his coffee cups that worked it out?'

'Him and Nigel.'

'Smart and cute.'

Jack frowned, this was too easy, he shook his head as he stepped back. It didn't make sense that in the space of three days he should find out someone had been spending his money, produce enough evidence to sustain an arrest, and have her brought back so easily to Wales to be arrested. It wasn't logical, they'd never had a case that easy before. He wondered if it was just luck that she hadn't run Ianto off before he could start sorting out the paperwork that had been sorely neglected for too long. That and Nigel checking his transactions because another customer had an issue with charges showing up on the wrong credit card invoice.

He headed back to his office wondering why he couldn't just be happy everything was slotting into place, Ianto, Suzie. It wasn't like any of them had the skills to set the woman up, well, he pondered that further. It wasn't impossible either. She was just so smug, taunting him, throwing it in his face once the game was up. He didn't usually have to deal with this side of things, the whys that inevitably cropped up, the unanswered questions that followed. The main unanswered question distracting him was Ianto, but Suzie was a close second. He watched her hissing and spitting like a cat as Andy and PC Cooper dragged her away. He would no doubt have to go to the station to lay a formal complaint. And what had she meant by he'd never see his money again if he had her charged? How much of his money was she talking about? He turned slowly towards Ianto. 'Your forensic accountant.'

'Yes Sir.'

'I need my books reviewed by someone looking beyond just the credit card fraud. Something just doesn't add up, pun intended.' He raked a hand though his hair. 'I don't know if it was me or if that was just too easy. Does she make house calls?'

'I can ask.'

Jack nodded. 'Do it Ianto.' He watched the man move to his desk to make a call, admiring the simple efficiency of his movements.
