Well, hello again people!!

I do hope you've been going crazy for the next chapter =)

I'm writing this with a cold so don't be surprised if there are spelling mistakes in it okay?

Alonzey!!

Chapter 7

"Jack!" I think I've found him!" Tosh's voice echoed out across the Hub up into Jack's office. It had been almost an entire two hours since Tosh had set the tracer up to scan for Ianto's DNA and Jack had taken to pacing in his office after writing and signing off on some request forms that the fake-Ianto had placed on his desk.

He sprinted out of his office and was by Tosh's side in a heartbeat. Owen and Gwen were there on the next heartbeat.

"Where is he Tosh?" His voice was neutral but filled with determination. He wasn't going to lose Ianto, even if he had to let the Universe burn he wasn't going to lose him. "Is he still in the city?"

"Yes, thank God. He's in a warehouse not too far from the edge of the city. It's in an abandoned industrial area. I'm getting the satellite imagery of the place now as well as the CCTV footage for the last fortnight." Tosh replied typing away vigorously as she worked her way through endless strings of binary code and C+ language 'something only me and Ianto really understand' she thought sadly, her lips turning into a slight frown as she considered how bad Ianto might be injured 'No! Don't think like that! He's alright, he's Ianto. He's capable of looking after himself!'

"I've got it!" she smiled as the screen to her right flickered and showed the CCTV around the warehouse where their Ianto was being held prisoner. "He's in there Jack, we have to get him out."

"I know Tosh and that's precisely what we'll do, I promise." Jack said reassuringly, he placed a warm hand on her shoulder and squeezed softly.

Smiling at her with a soft and gentle smile as opposed to his usual lascivious grins, she saw how much hurt and pain was residing within him, all that pain over Ianto being in danger and she suddenly saw just how much he loved Ianto. He might never admit it encase he hurt himself further down the line, but Tosh could see the love and heartache that was within him and it broke her heart to see him in such agony. 'God only knows how Ianto must be feeling, when he doesn't even know if we're looking for him'

"Right, well. Let's not waste any time, I've gone long enough without teaboy's bloody coffee as it is!" Owen shouted, he'd slipped away from them and they hadn't even noticed. He walked back over to Tosh's station where they were all congregated and chucked a few scary looking toys on it.

The scary looking toys were actually Grade 5, Miniature Assault Rifles that were far superior to their standard firearms. "I'm thinking or normal weapons aren't gonna get the job done right?" Owen looked over at Jack pointedly.

"You're right Owen, we'll need bigger guns... but these will do just fine." Jack said looking back at Owen, he felt proud of the medic. 'He may bitch about Ianto a lot but, deep down he really does care' "Come on, let's go get our Ianto back!"

They each picked up a toy, Owen grabbed his medi-kit and one or two device's that Ianto would put on decaf for a month for taking out of the Hub, whilst Tosh paused to grab her PDA and connect it up to the tracer's program so she could track Ianto in the field. 'Hold on Ianto, we're coming for you'

What was that sound?... It sounded like the dripping from a tap... but there wasn't a tap near him, was there?... No, he's certain there's no dripping tap – no tap in fact to even drip!... But, why can he still hear dripping?...

"He is waking"

Oh God... was someone talking to him with their mouth full of... water? God, he must be losing his mind... unless he'd already lost it before now... A valid possibility with his line of work... Work! He had a job to do! Protect the human race against some annoyingly persistent, and resistant bad guys. How could he protect the human race when he was tied up?... wait, tied up? He was tied up... how did he not notice that before?

"Should we give him something to allow him to think clearly?"

Who was that gargling on about him! He found distracting to say the least! But... distracting from what?... From thinking, well that's a first, something other than Jack was distracting him! He must really be out of it then...

Hmm, he wonders what that whirring sound is, it sounds vaguely reminiscent. What does it remind him of exactly?.... Come on now, they've shut-up so he can focus on thinking! Whirring sounds... hmm...

That's it! It's them... or at least he hope it's them...

"Ianto, Oh my god, Ianto!" A voice calls out to him, he can hear it. 'I know that voice, I've missed that voice, oh so much'

The sound of chains being unlocked, of restraints removed. He slumps forward, barely able to stay upright. Someone catches him. Soft, warm hands grip him, not too tightly but not too softly either. He's laid down on the cold, concrete floor. He shivers, he can feel the floor through his ripped and tattered shirt. He can feel something sticky on his shirt and on his back as well, but his minds to tired to process what it is. It has a vague idea though when another voice sobs.

"Ianto... oh my god, Owen! Get in here now! Ianto's in a bad way, he's bleeding Owen!" He knows that voice too, but he's never heard that tone of desperation and fear in it before.

Then he fades out, oh god how he feels nothing after that. It's lovely... peaceful... pure bliss...

I must be a cruel person to be able to do this to Ianto, of ALL people! Oh god, now I really hate myself! I'm going to have to make up for it in the next chapter... but at least they found him!! Yay, I can be kind when I'm evil – that might be a bit juxtaposed if I'm right...

Anyway, hope you're happier now you've had you instalment... I'll try not to keep you waiting as long next time.
