"Shit" Jack mumbled. He was typing away on the keyboard monitoring the rift activity. He had just sent the team out to go inspect it, but now there was a weevil sighting. Well, not so much as a weevil sighting, but multiple weevils heading towards a highly populated area. He could take one weevil, two and if he was lucky 3 but he couldn't take four. He would be killed and that didn't bother him, but by the time he came to the weevils would have already provoked chaos and people would be dead. No, he needed help.

The team were all busy. He knew that. There was no way one of them could be called out. The only reason he stayed behind was because he was known amongst the species they were dealing with and not in a good way. No, the team were out there on their own, and they needed to work on that together. If it went south, weevils would be the least of their problems.

Jack ran his hands through his hair and tried to think about what he could possibly do when he stopped. His eyes flickered to the large screen, and the young man who was starring in the footage.

Ianto was startled when Jack towered down the stairs and into the hall in front of his cell. It wasn't time to eat yet and Jack looked tensed.

"Jack? What's going on?" Ianto asked, getting to his feet.

"Weevil alert, four of them."

"Oh. Well, the cells on the floor below are empty if you need more space to put them."

"I need to get them first."

"Where's Owen?"

"The whole team are out on a call," Jack said, getting restless.

"So?"

"I need help Ianto."

"Oh, of course."

"Are you okay with that?"

"Are you?"

Jack didn't respond. He just opened the cell door and allowed Ianto to walk out. Ianto stood before Jack and smiled. The more confidence he showed, the more Jack would trust him. He wasn't surprised though when Jack handed him a stun gun instead of his usual glock along with the anti-weevil spray. He didn't say anything as he climbed into the passenger seat of the SUV.

Jack woke with a start. He and Ianto had decided to split up, but he got the bad end of the split. He could see Ianto quickly tackling his weevil with practiced ease. However, Jack had three weevils charging at him. He managed to take one out, but as he was reaching for the second, the third came up behind him and bit into this jugular and everything went black. Now he was breathing, shaking and fighting. Something was restraining him and he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Jack, Jack, Jack!" was all he heard.

"Ianto?"

"Hey, it's okay I got you."

Jack looked around. He was laying in Ianto's arms, covered in blood in a dark alley. "What happened?"

"Weevil thought you looked tasty. Fancied a bite."

"Where are they? There were three of them," Jack said, starting to pull away from Ianto.

"Sedated and cuffed in the back of the SUV."

"How?"

"I took care of it."

"Oh," Jack sighed and leaned back into Ianto's arms, not back to his full strength.

"How are you?"

"Been better. How'd you know I'd come back?"

" Have known for a while. It's all in the paperwork, sir."

"And you're still here?" Jack questioned.

Ianto looked down. "What? You thought I was just going to leave you here?"

Jack winced at the pain in Ianto's voice. "No, of course not." He wiggled his way out of Ianto's arms and stood.

"So, what happens now?" Ianto said from where he sitting on the floor.

"I'll drop you off on the way to the hub." Ianto didn't move and Jack turned back to look at him. He smiled before adding, "I'm taking you home Ianto. Come back in three weeks."

"Are you sure, sir?"

"I trust you."

Sorry this took so long, had a very busy week. This potentially could be the ending of this fic, or I could continue it through the next episode. Tell me what you want me to do and what you think. I am so grateful for the response this fic has had. -TOL
