A new day began at the hub as Jack woke up jumping from his small little bed in his bedroom in the man hole located in the hub. He beamed when he heard the door to the hub opening up and he quickly got dressed and did his daily morning things. He climbed from the man hole to find the smell of Ianto's coffee brewing throughout the hub.

"Good Mor-" he began but was cut off by the sound of laughter filling the hub.

Jack knew that Tosh, Gwen, and even Owen wouldn't be there at 6:00 in the morning especially since Gwen had given them the day off. But who would be in the hub? Jack knowing it was childish still snuck out of his office and hid in the shadows of the hub to find Ianto walking about the hub and cleaning it up.

"Oi Ianto over here!" someone said a male voice and Jack didn't like the sound of it.

He withdrew his gun out of his pocket knowing it was unnecessary but still has a precaution took it out for his and Ianto's safety. Harkness may have been gone long but he hated the idea of someone foreign in his hub. Suddenly a red-haired man had appeared at Ianto's side with a file in his hand. The man was gorgeous with his piercing green eyes and what appeared to be a well built body but Jack knew Ianto was even more handsome. But the question that was nagging at the back of his mind was what the hell was he doing there in his hub. He decided it was enough playing hide and seek and went ahead to confront the mysterious stranger who was taking a donut out of a box that Ianto had placed on the table.

"Good Morning" Jack had said startling the pair and the green eyed red man looked like he was about to piss his pants.

"Good Morning Jack" Ianto said in a cool and cold manner that sent chills down Jack's spine.

"And whose this?" Jack said wishing he would have shut himself up before his mouth got the best of him.

"Samuel Finely Sir at your service!"

Jack cringed at the thick Scottish accent that rang through his ears. He hesitantly saluted the young Scottish man as he did to him before walking down the stairs to meet them.

"What are you doing here Ianto I thought Gwen gave you the day off?"

"I had to record some information regarding the recent up incident that happened in the hub. Samuel had called me wanting to get breakfast together and um here we are?"

"I don't mean to be rude but why does Samuel know about Torchwood?"

"I'll be happy to answer that question Sir. I used to work at the Police station with Gwen a few years ago then got transferred to U.N.I.T. You had disappeared and the team called me up so here I am!"

Jack mentally groaned at the new stranger. He couldn't help but hold back his rage when Ianto mentioned breakfast with Samuel. Ianto belonged to Jack and only Captain Jack Harkness. He wouldn't let this mortal take what was his and he knew he had to do something about it. Jack wasn't stupid he saw the way that Samuel looked at Ianto like he was a piece of meat. But deep down in his heart Jack knew that Samuel wouldn't steal Ianto's heart away and only because he wasn't interested in men in the first place. Call him arrogant but Jack knew that Ianto was only interested in Jack.

He tried to contain his rage again when Samuel openly flirted with Ianto right before his eyes. He saw Samuel's hand slip behind Ianto and pitched his butt! He couldn't contain it anymore he grabbed Ianto's hand and stormed up to his office.

"Jack what on Earth are you doing embarrassing me in front of Samuel?"

"Embarrassing you? Embarrassing you? What is Samuel really is he another quick shag in the archives for you hmm?"

Jack instantly shut himself up when he saw Ianto begin to shake. He knew he had crossed the line with his former lover and there was no way to turn back. He knew it especially when tears formed in Ianto's eyes breaking Jack's heart ever time they fell.

"Do you know how hard it's been this last year away from you Jack?'
