Chapter 8.

Jack was pacing in his office. He had been pacing in the Hub, until Tosh had told him that he was interrupting her concentration and if he wanted to get Ianto back sooner rather than later he'd have to get out of her way. She was trying to make better sense of the data they had retrieved from the university. Jack was waiting for Gwen to come to back, as she had rang to say she had some useful information. As soon as he had realized Ianto and Jessie had been taken, he had wanted to go after Morgan. Owen had then reminded him of his words earlier about how that could make things worse. They needed a proper plan, rather than the gung ho approach. Reluctantly, Jack had agreed. Owen had stayed behind at the university though to keep an eye on the situation. As soon as the cog door alarm sounded to signal Gwen's arrival, Jack was out of his office and down the stairs, taking them two at a time.

'What did you find out?' Jack asked as soon as he reached the main Hub.

'Can't a girl at least get in the door first?' said Gwen. One look at Jack's face told her this was no time for humour. 'What did I miss?'

'Someone's taken Ianto and Jessie.'

'What?' Gwen exclaimed. 'You couldn't have told me this on the phone? I would have driven faster.'

'We don't know how much time we have so I'm really hoping that whatever information you have really is significant.'

'It is. I went to talk to Andy about all the students who have gone missing in the past few months. There have been quite a few, none of them have ever been heard of since, except one.' Jack looked at her quizzically, so she continued. 'Ollie Vaughan went missing about a month ago, but turned up at his parent's house a week later, he won't say where he went or why.'

'We need to talk to him, he's got to know what's going on in that lab.'

'That's why I have this,' said Gwen, holding up a post it note with an address on it.

'What are we waiting for then?' said Jack as he grabbed his coat, calling over to Tosh that they wouldn't be long and to update him on any progress she made. Jack and Gwen got to the SUV and Jack jumped into the drivers seat. Gwen got into the passenger seat, only just having time to put her seat belt on before Jack floored the accelerator.

'I know this is urgent, but please can we get there in one piece?' she said as she held on to the door, as the SUV went flying around a corner. Jack slowed down a little, but not much, the fines could be dealt with later.

Ten minutes later they were pulling up outside a small house on the outskirts of the city. Jack and Gwen both got out of the car and walked up to the door, which Jack knocked on loudly. The door was opened carefully and a young lad of about twenty cautiously peered around the door. 'Can I help you?'

Gwen stepped forward, 'Are you Ollie Vaughan?'

'Yeah, what's this about?'

'We need to talk to you about Doctor Morgan, although you know him as Professor Medwell.'

'Sorry, don't know who you're talking about,' Ollie replied and he went to shut the door. He wasn't quick enough though as Jack put his foot in the door to stop him and then pushed it open and entered the house, Ollie trying to protest behind him, but having no effect. Jack turned to face the young man.

'We already know you know exactly who we are talking about, you were one of his students, until you disappeared. We need to know what he's up to.' Jack looked at Ollie and could see the fear in his eyes.

'I can't tell you, if he even finds out that I'm still around, I don't know what he'll do.'

Gwen walked up to him and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. 'Look, if you help us, we can make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else.'

Ollie looked between Gwen and Jack before sighing. 'Ok, come through.' He then led them into a small lounge and indicated for them to sit down. 'I was told that we would be researching the theory of parallel worlds and how travelling to them might be possible. It was great at first, Medwell really seemed to know his subject, but then the experiments started. He actually made portals appear in the lab. Some thought they were illusions but then my classmates started disappearing, they'd walk into these portals and never come back.'

'So why'd you disappear, why not tell someone what was going on?'

'I fled because it was supposed to be my turn to go through a portal, to see if this time they would work both ways. I got scared. As for telling anyone, who'd believe me?'

'We need to know how to get into the lab. What kind of security measures are there?'

'There's a few. There is a finger print scanner to get into the main door, and he's got people working for him that aren't connected to the university. The guy's seriously paranoid. He's also got alarms set up all over the place for when he's not in the lab, which is rare.'

'Is there any other way in?' asked Jack.

'Yes, he has an escape route. One of the first things he ever told us was that you always needed an escape route, that should always be the first thing you sort out because you never know when it will be needed. He said something about a previous job that went wrong, and how he'd had to flee.'

A previous job that went wrong is something of an understatement, thought Jack. 'Do you know where it is.'

'It comes out into the basement of the university.'

'I'm going to need you to tell us how to get to it.'
