Gwen woke up staring into darkness, her head was swirling. The green eyes glowed.
"Gwen its Owen"
Owen and jack were staring over her. Jack started having a go at Owen.
"You should have called me first thing" jack said
"I did but you were doing something with Ianto"
Jack went red. He ignored the conversation and started talking about Suzie.
"Are you sure it's the life knife"
"Sure"
"Suzie's knife?"
"Yeah" Owen hated the name Suzie it brought shivers down his spine. Last time someone mentioned Suzie Gwen nearly died.
"Who had it?"
"Ummm I haven't told you the best part, Rhys had it and Rhys is in the basement"
"What?"
Gwen perked up at that. Jack and Owen went quiet and looked over Gwen again. Gwen tried to get up, Owen and jack both went to help her up.
"I've got her" Owen directed at Jack.
"Owen, take Gwen home"
Gwen looked at Owen.
Owen whispered in her ear "You're coming back to my place".
Owen put his arm round Gwen's waist. Gwen knew it wasn't to help her walk but to Jack and Ianto it looked like support. Ianto could tell that there was something Jack felt about Gwen. Jack looked hurt that Owen wouldn't let Jack help Gwen, but then Owen was smart and he probably knew that Jack felt something. Secretly Jack knew that Owen put his arm round Gwen because he could.
Gwen stared out of Owen's flat. "Are you coming to bed or are you gonna stare out that window forever?" Owen said.
Gwen struggled to get into the bed the pain was too much. Owen couldn't give her anymore painkillers or she would have an overdose. Gwen needed some sort of pain relief. She turned to Owen who was looking worried. Owen must have read her mind because he pulled her closer and kissed Gwen. Gwen couldn't feel pain anymore all she could feel was the passion and well Gwen didn't really know what it was her heart was fluttering and she had butterflies then she realised it was love. Owen smiled at Gwen, after what happened with Diane he thought that he loved her but it wasn't Diane he loved it was Gwen. He knew it from the minute she walked into torchwood with the pizzas but being Owen he denied it and thought Diane would get his mind of Gwen but it didn't it made Owen think of her more. Then he did the stupid thing and broke it of with Gwen. Owen kissed Gwen again and the pain was gone for Gwen and Owen. All Owen could think about was Gwen.
Rhys woke up with blood dripping from his nose. He couldn't remember anything about to do with the last 2 hours .He couldn't see a thing, he could hear someone talking and a sort of growling. He had no doubt where he was he was in the Torchwood basement. Torchwood he hated that word, ever since Gwen had worked at Torchwood the gap between them got further and further apart. The lights flickered on and two men appeared and stood in front of his cell. Rhys guessed that the other one next to Jack was Ianto or Owen. Rhys had the pleasure of meeting Jack once at dinner.
"Rhys, you're last person I would expect to have this" Jack held up a knife with blood on it. It wasn't a normal knife It had a sort of cross shape. Rhys couldn't describe it but he felt sorry for the person that's blood was over it.
"It's not mine" Rhys said "Why am I locked up here anyway?"
"Don't play stupid with me"
"I have never seen that knife before!" Rhys shouted
Jack whispered to Ianto and Ianto disappeared.
"I suppose you don't know what happened to Gwen either"
"What happened to Gwen, Is she ok?"
"She is with Owen at the moment after what you did to her she can't even say your name"
"What have I done? I don't understand. Gwen and I were watching TV and then we went to bed. The next morning she was at work. That's all I remember!" Rhys looked at Jack. "Is the other man Ianto or Owen?"
Jack was shocked Rhys had forgotten the last couple of hours. Ianto appeared with the food, Jack and asked Ianto to put a truth pill in it. Ianto put the food down then disappeared upstairs again.
"This is Ianto. So you really can't remember what you did a couple of hours ago?" Jack said just before Ianto got to the top stair.
"No, what happened?"
"Eat up then we will explain" jack said. He knew that Rhys would be too stupid to ask questions about the food. Jack waited until Rhys had eaten all the food before he started talking.
"Who are you?"
No answer
"I asked you a question"
"I'm Rhys Gwen's boyfriend"
"What have you been doing these last couple of hours?"
"Can't remember"
"Where are you?"
"Torchwood's basement"
Jack was surprised.
"Did we tell him he was in Torchwood?" jack asked Ianto
"No sir"
"How do you know about Torchwood?"
"I went to see Gwen's old work mates, to check if she was ok and they told me she didn't work in the police force she worked for Torchwood"
"How did you know Ianto's name?"
"After the police told me, I did research on websites and stuff like that. According to records you are supposed to be dead. Torchwood manage to keep yourself to yourself so it was difficult"
"Can you remember any of the websites? Ianto can you search them for me?" Jack said to a speaker in corner.
"Yes sir" Ianto said
"I thought that was Tosh's job"
"I asked you a question"
"Umm I think It was suziecostello. and darknessisnear. something like that"
Jack froze, it would be Suzie. When Suzie tried to kill Gwen just before Jack shot her Suzie told him about how something moves in the darkness and it was searching for him. It hadn't been mentioned since then until now.
"Ok thanks"
Jack walked up the stairs and turned the light off. That word darkness haunted Jack and he didn't like it.
Gwen woke up to hear the sound of Owen singing in the shower. What had put him in such a good mood? She took a swig of water and swallowed the pain killers that Owen had left on the side of the bed for her. She got up wrapping the sheet around her; she tried to find her clothes. They were thrown about the room and so were Owen's. She picked up Owen's boxers and she laughed she couldn't help it they were white with red love hearts on.
As Gwen got dressed she thought about how many nights she had been with Owen. It was four nights and they have had sex 3 times in Owen's flat, once in Owens car. Gwen had a gut felling that it will happened again today in Owen's car again. Owen came out the shower with only a towel on. He smiled, Gwen knew what that smile meant. She raised her eyebrows went up to Owen and whispered something in his ear. Gwen kissed him running her tongue over his teeth. Owen loved that, Gwen had never seen Owen get dressed so quickly. She didn't really see the point though because he would only be taking most of them of very soon.
