John peered over Toshiko's shoulder, something that Toshiko personally couldn't stand. Even Jack had learned quickly that she loved to have her own personal space bubble and kept his distance when she typed.

"John…could you" she trailed off as something binged at her. "Your ready made oven just went off" John smirked at her, moving backwards as she went to swipe at him in annoyance. "Shut up John, this could be important" she snapped at him as she opened another window.

"It's an email" John commented as Toshiko rolled her eyes at him. "You've proven that you're observant…what?" she frowned as she noticed that John's eyes had widened. "Its from them…JACK!" John hollered, making Toshiko flinch from the attack on her eardrums.

His hollering brought Jack, Ianto, Gwen and Owen running to the main part of the Hub and to Toshiko's computer. "Did you have to holler? Jack and Ianto are both going through the pain of having a child taken from them, what if it's bad news John?" Gwen glared at him. John shrugged in response as Toshiko answered for him. "Because Jack would kill us if we kept something like this away from him. Jack's the boss".

"And not a poor excuse of a second command like you Gwennifer" Owen smirked, ducking as Gwen aimed to hit him on the back of his head. "Yes but I stole the title from you Owen. Because Jack thinks I'm a better leader" Gwen replied with a sweet smile, usually their bantering could be tolerated but the timing was completely off and Jack wasn't in the mood for it. "Stop it both of you! This isn't the time for jokes and playing around! Either act professional or get out of Torchwood!" Jack threatened.

Owen had learned quickly to believe Jack's threats and remained silent, staring intently at the screen like an answer was going to pop up any second but Gwen looked at Ianto in mild shock, looking for help but Ianto just shrugged placing a hand at Jack's lower back, "And I'll personally track you both down and force feed you Retcon" Ianto added, completely serious then brought his attention to the computer screen.

"What do we have Toshiko?" Jack asked with his arms folded. Toshiko looked at the screen like it was going to bite her and was grateful when John leaned across and opened the email for her. His eyes flickered over the words and then glanced to Jack. "Better read this Jack, it's for you. It has an attachment, looks like a media file. More than likely a sound file or video" John informed him. Ianto visibly shuddered at that information.

Jack took a breath and read the message, searching for Ianto's hand who took it and gripped it as he read it as well.

Captain Jack Harkness

You've probably figured out that it was Time Agents who took your brat.

You probably remember us as Jason Hayes and Holly Jackson.

Anyway, your precious little girl isn't doing very well. Jason can be an asshole when it comes to operating on small things.

If you want to see and help your child then meet us at the warehouse on the edge of Cardiff. The co-ordinates and directions are included at the end of this email.

We want YOU Captain Jack Harkness, you have a price to pay!

Nobody willingly leaves the Time Agency!

Yours affectionately

Holly

"Affectionately? Ex girlfriend?" Owen asked with a raised eyebrow. Jack shook his head and squeezed Ianto's hand reassuringly. "No, she had a thing with John once which he'll either deny or surprise me and admit. Jason is the worst though, never followed orders. Me and John were bad enough but he took the whole biscuit and universe. We need to go there and get Emily out" he sighed.

"What? You're walking into a trap Jack! That much is obvious!" Gwen protested. "I know it is! But what if it was Rhys or your child, what would you do Gwen?" Jack argued back. "I'd be doing what you're doing now Jack" Gwen admitted.

"Not to butt into an argument but does anyone want to pay attention to the attachment?" John asked with a roll of his eyes. Toshiko moved her mouse over it and double clicked it, before selecting it to download. "You had a relationship with this Holly then? You should go with Jack" Toshiko suggested. John shrugged at that, "well they don't know that I'm helping you lovely people out so I'll go and it wasn't a relationship, it was a way to pass the time, like Jack used to do with his eye candy. Only difference in the story was that Jack fell in love with his play toy". "John!" Jack warned followed with a "Oi!" from Ianto.

Owen had moved and was now looking over Tosh's shoulder at the video footage of what had happened to Emily. "Jesus! This is going to need everyone. Jack, I need you to think of something to get yourself out of this crap, Gwen and Tosh get my supplies, towels etc. Teaboy, you're staying with your sons, John you're backup to Jack" Owen ordered.

"But we want to go" Griffin frowned as Tucker nodded in agreement. "Oh no you're not. I want to go too but we're going to look after each other and make sure that the Med Bay is nice and comfy for when you're sister comes back. Plus I need you boys to keep me sane right now" Ianto told them sternly, smiling a little as they reluctantly agreed and started to go about cleaning the med bay.

"Look after them, I'll get in touch when we have Emily safe. I love you Yan, you and the boys and Em" Jack told him, kissing his lips gently then frowning as Ianto pushed him away gently. "Don't you dare say goodbye! If you're not going to fight back and make sure that they get their comeuppance without them being murdered of course then don't you dare say the L word. The boys need you, Emily needs you, the team needs you and I need you Jack Harkness. Now go get our daughter back and make me proud like you always do" Ianto told him seriously, a flash of something flickering in his blue eyes.

"I promise Ianto Jones" Jack grinned before making his way to the rest of his team. "Right! Let's go! Shoot if you have to but I want those sons of bitches brought back to the Hub alive. The main priority is getting my daughter out of there and back safe. I promised her Da! Any questions? Then lets go!" Jack ordered, already walking towards the exit with his team and John following behind, leaving Ianto and the boys behind to worry about Jack and Emily.
