Ianto followed the man, Jack, and the woman, Tosh , into a building called 'The Hub'. Apparently these people made up an organization called 'Torchwood', and they caught aliens. Ianto couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it. Jack led them into a room with other people.
"Ianto," he said, "this is Owen, and this is Suzie." He pointed to two people who smiled and waved at him. "And everyone, this handsome young man is Ianto." Ianto blushed and waved back.
Suddenly, there was a beeping noise. The woman, Tosh, went over to a computer and started typing something. "There are rift spikes a few miles from here"
"Rift spikes?" asked Ianto
"High levels of alien activity coming from the rift above Cardiff" answered Jack.
" Oh." Ianto said, still not understanding.
"Tosh, Suzie, Owen. I think I can trust you on this. Take the van. I'm going to stay here and explain stuff to Ianto."
"The van?" Ianto asked as the others left.
"Yeah. You know, our black van? The one we use to get around?"
"What's a van?"
It is a device that helps people travel faster and safer. How do you not know that?"
"Well. Yesterday I woke up in a hospital with no memory of anything. All I had was a watch and… and a photo."
"Do you have a place to stay?" Jack asked. Ianto shook his head. "Do you want to stay here?"
"Really? If I could then… yes."
Jack paused for a moment, then spoke. "Ianto, do you know what a weevil is?" Ianto shook his head. "Well then, I will show you what it is."
Ianto followed Jack through the hub until they got to a place with a bunch of cells. They were like prison cells, except without the bars. Instead, a see through wall, with air holes, covered it. Jack led Ianto to a cell that held something that looked like a deformed person. It looked like a human full of wrinkles, no hair, and an ovalish head. "I don't believe it." Ianto said after a minute, while Jack stared at him. "I think its human. Maybe deformed, but its human. It has to be."
"If you think its human then why do you call it 'it'? I can assure you, it's not human." The creature hissed at the two men. In a way that no human could. Like an animal.
"I still don't believe you." Ianto said. Jack led him to another cell, and another. All the cells were filled with creatures that didn't look human. "Fine. Ok. Maybe they are Aliens. But what did they do to get locked up?"
"If people saw them, they would kill them. They would do investigations on them. Here, we protect them from that. As well as protecting the humans. These are all creatures that have attacked humans."
Jack led Ianto back to where everyone had returned. Owen was off somewhere, and Tosh was on her computer, talking to Suzie. They looked up at the sound of Jack's and Ianto's footsteps. Jack went over to them and looked at the computer. Then they all started talking, and laughing. All except Ianto, and Owen. Wherever he was. "Jack," everyone looked up. "Are you by any chance dating Tosh?" Ianto asked.
"I have barely just met you and yet your asking me if I'm single?" Jack smiled. "Yes, I am single."
Ianto, too embarrassed to say anything else, found a couch and sat down.
