Chapter 3 – Jack saves the day
Ianto woke up in Jack's boudoir of love as Jack kept calling it; really it was just his underground bedroom. Jack was already up and about when Ianto woke up. Ianto got up and out of Jack's bed, out on his boxers and went to the showers, he had just enough time for a shower and to get the spare shirt he had tucked away in his tourist office desk drawer and finish getting dressed. Ianto still did not know where Jack was, Ianto had checked everywhere. The office, Archives, kitchenette, near Ianto's beloved coffee machine, morgue, medic bay, Jack was no where to be found.
Gwen and Tosh were the first to arrive at the Hub, they knew where Jack was going because they had met him on his way out and Jack had made them promise not to say a word about where he was going or what he was going to do.
Jack walked along the front of the bay, he knew the slight blind spots on the cameras so he could avoid being spotted but it was very difficult, Tosh had the cameras almost seeing into every area but Jack knew one or two places to walk. Jack kept walking until he reached the top of the Cardiff Millennium centre roof. He pulled out his phone, sat down and pulled out a slip of paper from his great coat pocket. On the paper it said Rhiannon and Stephan Jones with their number. Jack typed in the number and pressed dial and hoped Ianto wouldn't be too mad with him. The phone rung a couple of minutes and then a thick welsh accented women answered the phone
"Dweud?"
Hello, is this Mrs Rhiannon Jones?" Jack asked hoping that this person could speak English. The person on the other end laughed.
"No, that's my Mam, do you want to speak with her?" The voice sounded young, Jack guessed she was about 17 or 18 maybe younger.
"Yes, it's important." Jack hoped his voice sounded serious and not slightly scared and worried. Jack listened to what was happening on the other end of the phone and jumped when the teenage girl shouted out
"MAAAAAMM!!!! THERE'S SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO TALK TO YOU ON THE PHONE!!!!!" There was some rustling on the other end of the phone and then a clang. Footsteps could be heard then the girl spoke to however just arrived
"Mam they don't speak Welsh"
"What did they sound like?" Whoever had just arrived also had a thick welsh accent but sounded older than the girl that answered the phone, she seemed to think it was strange that who ever was phoning her (Jack) could not speak welsh.
Jack waited impatiently for them to finish whatever they were talking about because they started speaking welsh again. Eventually the older women spoke to Jack.
"This is Mrs Rhiannon Jones, and you are?" Her tone was rude but this was Ianto's mother so Jack had to be patient and polite, that was going to be a stretch for Jack.
"Hello Mrs Jones this is your son Ianto Jones's employer Mr...err...Harkness, I was wondering wither you had a minute to talk about Ianto?"
Mrs Jones was quiet for a while before answering.
"Anything my son has done I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned Ianto Jones has no place in my family. Sorry to have wasted your time Mr Harkness. Good bye!" She slammed the phone down with a snap and the rest of the Jones's looked at her. All of Ianto's brothers and sisters missed him but his Mam had not forgiven him but they didn't know she had disowned him. They all looked at each other hoping to change their mothers mind but it would never happen.
Jack starred at his phone for a minute; she was almost ruder that the Doctor and that was a hard thing to do. But to disown Ianto…Jack didn't want to think about what his life would be like if Ianto left or worse but that doesn't bare thinking about. There were many things Jack loved about Ianto, his beautiful eyes, his accent, the way Ianto could tease Jack without even knowing he was doing it, the best coffee in the world, Ianto's sarcasm, the way he says Jack…he could hear it now coming from behind him, he didn't know his imagination or memory or whatever was that good and it got closer until it was right in his ear.
"Jack!" Ianto shouted it in Jack's ear and this eventually snapped jack out of his daydream. Ianto just sort of looked at Jack with one eyebrow raised.
"What were you thinking about?" Ianto looked quite puzzled.
Jack shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"Top secret Unit missions and exper…" Jack's sentence trailed off. Ianto looked really angry.
"What?" Jack's voice went really soft and tender, very unlike Jack.
"I heard your conversation Jack, Tosh hooked it up on the computer, she thought it'd be a nice surprise to hear my…family." Ianto's voice was slow and calm, anger bubbled a few millimetres under the surface and it was due to erupt.
"Ianto I'm-" Ianto cut Jack off again.
"Save it Sir" Ianto's voice had a hard edge to it. Ianto turned around quickly and left the roof. He ran towards the elevators, hoping that Jack wouldn't catch up. He hit the ground floor button and sunk to the floor. He knew his mother would never forgive him but to disown him. Ianto banged the wall of the elevator, he felt so angry and humiliated. Tosh and Gwen knowing he could handle, he trusted them not to say anything. Owen however was another matter but he could survive. Jack…it was the one thing, like Lisa, Ianto wanted to hide from Jack but know he knew. When Ianto got to the bottom he saw Jack look over the edge at him, turn around and disappear. Ianto ran back inside to the elevators, he got strange looks from the staff but he didn't care. Ianto summoned all the elevators to the bottom so he would have a chance to escape without Jack following. He then ran back outside and bolted to the garage where he had parked the S.U.V, he jumped in switched off his phone and disabled the G.P.S which he knew as soon as Jack told Tosh she would try and track him. Ianto drove and drove not knowing where he was going. He just wanted to escape for a while and clear his head.
* * * *
Jack eventually made it down to the Hub, Tosh and Gwen had been giving specific orders not to say anything and then Tosh hooked it up to her computer so that they could hear. Jack imagined the scene his head, the moment where Ianto found out he had been disowned must have been heartbreaking, and Jack didn't want to know anymore. Jack floated down on the platform when Tosh came running over her face was clearly worried.
"Toshiko what is it (!)?" Jack didn't have time for Tosh to try and comfort the truth he had to know plain out what had happened. Tosh opened her mouth to speak when Owen cut in first.
"Well basically Jack, tea boy heard he got disowned, left with out a word, not even a decent cup of coffee before he left and then disappeared Tosh tracked him right till the moment he entered the S.U.V and then completely fell off the scope"
Jack swore under his breath.
"Can't you find him at all, C.C.T.V, police, G.P.S? Anything?" Jack's voice was full of his desperation to make everything okay with Ianto; he longed to hold him in his arms and murmur things in his ear, like Ianto I don't care what you did in the past its now that matters and I love you Ianto you'll always have me .Jack's throat constricted slightly and his heart ached.
* * * *
Ianto was still driving a few hours later; he was almost out of Whales and he kept on driving, still not sure where he was going. His longing for Jack was competing with his desire to run and keep on running. He got half way to London and he had to re-fill the S.U.V. He switched on his phone and ten messages came in at once, most where from Jack, one was from Gwen, another from Tosh and the last one was Guinevere. Ianto stared at Guinevere's name. He re-filled the S.U.V and drove to the nearest car park, and read his texts. 7 were from Jack and they mostly said the same thing. Ianto, please come back?
Ianto Jones! Come back, this is an order.
I love you Ianto, do you know how this is making me feel. Insane with worry.
I've never felt this way before Ianto, if I could die for you I would now would you please come back?
I'm sorry you had to hear that, I would never want you to find out like that. I love you, please come back.
Ianto! Once I find you're sorry but I'm gonna drag it back here!
Fine, I won't ask anymore I know you need your space, I guess you'll come back when you want. At least let me know you're alright?
Gwen's text was longer, pretty much saying the same thing as Jack
Ianto, I know your upset love but you need to come back, this is hurting Jack so much, he loves you more than life itself sweetheart, at least let him know your okay?
Love Gwen x
Tosh kept it short knowing rambling on wouldn't help
Ianto you know I wish you'd come back but I guess you need space, be careful, Oh and would you let Jack know your okay. He's become almost unbearable.
Guinevere didn't know about Ianto's disappearance so her text was completely different from the rest.
Hey Yan, Esme told me what happened between Mam and your boss.
I'm sorry for that, we didn't know either. Everyone misses you Ianto. Phone me at some point and we can meet up.
Love Guinevere xx
Ianto looked at the phone and tears streamed down his face as he thought all the things Jack had sent him; how many times I love you had been sent. Ianto searched his contacts and found Jack's number; he couldn't really see anything but he could just make out his screen. Jack answered after 3 rings.
"Ianto is that you?" Jack's voice was full of worry and relief at the fact that it could be Ianto.
"Yes, it's me" Ianto managed to choke it out.
"Ianto sweetheart, are you okay, are you coming back?" Jack's words tumbled out.
"Yes but can you come get me…please?" Ianto's voice was thick from the crying.
"Anything you want sweetheart" Jack's voice was full of determination.
"Err…Ianto you have the S.U.V how am I meant to get there?"
Ianto sighed
"Get the key to my flat it's on the back of my door hanging from a piece of string; at the end of the hallway there is the living room. There is a Coffee table middle of room, the bowl sitting on it has my car key, and it's parked out front, Suzuki Swift Sport, light blue."
Jack spoke occasionally saying only right or of course.
"And Jack I love you, get Tosh to triangulate my whereabouts using the signal from my phone, once you get the location you can use the sat nav in my car to find me. Please come alone, I know I hurt you very much by running away but I've had a chance to think. I'm really sorry. Love you"
Jack felt better when he knew Ianto was safe and that Jack was going to get him. Jack stuck his head out of the office door and shouted Tosh. She simply looked up and said
"Gwen's bringing his car around, I've got sandwiches, Ianto must be hungry and I've found Ianto's whereabouts. Jack looked at Tosh stunned for a moment. He then grinned his usual grin; Tosh smiled back and set about monitoring the rift.
Jack ran out to the front of the Bay after thanking Tosh, a lot, and graciously accepting the sandwiches. Gwen had just pulled up; Gwen smiled at him.
"Cars good to go, lots of petrol and the sat nav is set up, now hurry up, Ianto's waiting, he needs you, be careful"
Jack jumped into the car, put the sandwiches in he passenger and then remembered to roll down the window and thanked Gwen a lot.
He set off, wheel spin and everything thought Jack and raced off to reach Ianto.
