Chapter 7
Tosh lifted her head; up above, in Jack's office, Ianto and Jack were dancing again.
In a couple of hours, they would have a very public row. Ianto had fixed the electricity in the basement, so that the whole Torchwood computer system would be left wide and open. Well, what Tosh would leave wide and open.
All their personal files. All their passwords.
It would be possible for the Front to contact Ianto very easily. Mostly because he would be on the run after shooting Jack straight through the heart in front of the crowd.
The two men were barely moving, and the music was still playing. She decided to give them their last minutes of privacy and simply went out the door, announcing she was picking some sandwiches for everyone.

Jack was holding Ianto tightly.
"I will take you to Gino's as soon as Gwen and Owen are back amongst us."
He suddenly swirled his young lover around the room, hitting the credenza with his right chin.
"Oy! Jack! I have enough bruises, don't I?"
"It's my chin, not yours!"
They were silent as they turned around and around for a while longer.
"You know what? I want to go dancing at Leviathan in London."
"It's not a gay dancing club, Ianto."
"So?"
Jack released Ianto. He searched his face for any hints of irony.
"So, you're right Ianto. We'll go dancing at Leviathan. We'll book a three days in London and will dance and have sex for three whole days. The children can mind the camp!"
On this, they let go of one another and exchanged a soft tender kiss.
"Enough of this, Jack. Let's review one last time."
They spent the next hour going into every bit of details, information, passwords, and records. The closer to the truth the information Ianto would pass; the easier it would be too accepted by the Front.
Not only was Ianto wearing this
tracking device, but Jack had giving him daily an alien pill. It would allow him to fight the effect of the most common brain-washing drugs on the market.
They were as ready as they could be.
Ianto took a decisive start toward his computer station and activated the pre-established stop in their electric generator. Tosh had already activated the front she wanted the Front to have access to.
Ianto and Jack left the Hub through the tourist center.

48 hours later.
"Andy, Ianto is still in Cardiff. Are you sure no one in the police has any idea of his whereabouts?"
"Tosh, nobody knows anything about him. He's 'safe'".
Andy had been called nearly every hour since Ianto had shoot Jack in the middle of the Plaza, in the huge commercial building. Just enough witnesses to cover his track, not enough to have a live Jack going round Cardiff an Inquiring Event. But he was getting tired of Tosh asking the same question; he had told her that if anything changed, he would contact her immediately, days or nights.
"Did he not reported to you, yet?" he countered Tosh.
"No, he won't either. Unless the Front caught up with him. He hides from everyone; they must find him"
That was the hardest part of the plan, as far as Tosh and Jack thought. The part were waiting was a bad as watching Gwen and Owen laid up in their coma state.
Just as Tosh hung up with Andy, on their secure line, a beep appeared on Tosh specially adapted PDA.
Ianto was being contacted. Two shorts beeps. One long. Two more shorts.
"Jack ! Come down !"
