Chapter 2
Ianto Jones woke up in a hotel around eight am, to the sound of children yelling one room over. After atempting to go back to sleep and failing a few times, he got dressed and left the hotel. He walked over to the cement block from the other day, and tried stomping on it again. It didn't move.
It might not have showed in his expression, but he was quite curious. He grabbed a cup of coffee from the store across the street and sat down at a table near the cement block. He was going to come here everyday until he found out what happened.
He waited patiently for hours, and the only exciting thing that had happened was a pigeon, knocking over his coffee. But his patience was rewarded when the man in the navy coat, and the aisan woman came from around a corner. When they had just passed him, he got up and followed them. He wasn't trying to follow them secretively, he wanted them to kow he was there. Minutes past. Finally, they stopped. But they didn't turn around. Ianto stopped behind them.
"What do you want?" asked the man. There was a pause. "Why are you following us?
"I want to know how you dissapeared on the sidewalk. I want to know why no one seemed to notice."
The man turned around, "You noticed?"
"Of course! You stepped onto the cement. And went into the ground."
"Would you believe me if I said it's alien?"
"No." said Ianto simply, but somewhere in the back of his mind, something was saying yes.
"Well, it isn't from this planet. Its called a chamelion circuit. A cloaking device. People can see it, but it doesn't register in their brain. I'm Jack by the way. Nice to meet you." They shook hands. "Might I say, looking good?"
