All characters belong to RTD and the BBC, if I owned them then Ianto would still be alive and made immortal.

Chapter Two – Poison

I had to kiss him, I had to, he was staring at my lips for fuck's sake.

The computer identified it as a Rizpahtone, but had no other information on it. I decided to try the weevil spray on it, and contacted Jack through my comm. He told me not to do anything reckless. Just as the SUV entered the street, the alien brandished a claw that looked like a needle, and thrust it into me. The whole world started fading, and all I could think about was how I had failed Jack.

I spun the SUV round the corner into the street, where I saw what Ianto had been confronted with. A Rizpahtone. Shit. I tried to call out to Ianto, to warn him of the danger, but it was too late. All I could do was watch as he collapsed to the stone cold street floor. I shot the alien once, twice, three times. Then I ran to Ianto and shouted to Owen. He was in severe danger...
