Bit of a shorter chapter, but i wanted to update as soon as possible!! I forgot to mention this is set after the main bit of Day 5, but before that ridiculous six months later....
"Why, Jack! I was just thinking about that time me you and rose went to Foloar-raz 7, the planet of the furry people? The ones with abnormally large heads and 4 eyes? Do you remember?" The doctor babbled as he hopped around the console of the TARDIS, phone held to his ear with one hand while the other flipped numerous switches and turned dials to keep the ship running smoothly.
"Yes, yes I remember Doc, but...." Jack tried to interrupt the doctor, but months travelling with the over excitable time lord soon taught jack once he was off on one there was no stopping him....
The second jack had thought to call the doctor he forgot about leaving Martha in peace on her honeymoon and automatically called her to get the Doctor's phone number. He hadn't planned to tell her what was wrong but she could tell... why else would he want the doctor's number? And he hadn't exactly been himself on the phone... he didn't call her Nightingale or made suggestive comments about her honeymoon... But she didn't press the matter and he respected that, she just gave him the number and told him to keep safe. She also told him to say 'hello' to Gwen and Ianto for her, that stung but he was determined not to sulk.... he was a man on a mission....
"And then rose bought that bald Foloarian gerbil.... sparkly? Spotty? What did she call it again...."
"It was Spartacus, and that's beside the point...." Jack tried once more, unsuccessfully to turn the conversation towards his problems, it was after all far more urgent.
"Ha-ha, oh yes, she had quite a nasty surprise when he doubled in size over night and ate through her limited edition copy of Harry Potter 8 we picked up in 2015...good year, shame about the tidal wave..."
"For Pete's sake doctor! This is important!" Jack all but shouted down the phone.
"Now jack, no need to be rude.... whatever is the matter?"
"It's Ianto..... He's dead" It was the first time Jack had said it since the tragic day on floor 13....
For once in his 900 years the doctor did not know what to say.... he did not even know what to say to cover up that he did not know what to say....
"Doctor?" Jack questioned, praying the line hadn't gone dead.
"I'll be right there...."
Chapter 3 is in the works.... the way this had panned out it'll be a while till Ianto is with us once more but rest asure he'll be back!!
Thanks to all those who reviewed and put on alerts :D
Please continue to do so then Ianto will be back quicker :P Not that i'm bribing you or anything.... lol
