Here's the next installment. Sorry it's been a while. x
- Thanks to people who've already reviewed, especially Storms-are-my-nature who pointed out a spelling mistake!
"Hello Ianto dear," Saeth smiled at Ianto briefly before turning back to stare at the road ahead of her.
"Wh-what are you doing?" Ianto gasped, "This isn't you Saeth…"
"You could say I haven't been myself for a long, long time," Saeth replied frostily her smile disappearing. "You could say I haven't been myself since you left me…"
Ianto struggled into a sitting position at the back of the car. "I saw you on tv," he scowled. "Was that your plan, to turn Cardiff into a hell hole?"
"Oh believe me, I had no idea that one of your colleagues would be as stupid as to turn the whole of the city into walking zombies," Saeth continued still staring at the road in front of them. "But I'd say it's worked to our advantage. Now your friends will find it even harder to come and find you."
"What do you want from us?"
"Just a little bit of revenge," Saeth smiled toothily. "And we've heard that you are keeping a glove that brings people back to life. My friend here would find that very useful…"
Ianto raised an eyebrow and turned to face the other woman. "Do we know you?"
"Not me," the woman replied. "But I believe you met my husband and daughter a while ago- you murdered them."
"Oh God," Ianto's heart stopped. "You're Jack's aunt?"
"Unfortunately it would seem that we have that connection," the woman continued. "But believe me, there is no-one in the world I would rather see suffer than Jack…which is partly why we have you."
Ianto felt a shiver run through him. If she wanted revenge that meant it was very unlikely he would make it back to Jack in one piece.
"Nice to have you with us Ianto," the woman continued with a sneer. "My name's Dakota."
The car sped down the long road, as Jack pressed his foot further down on the accelerator.
"Jack could you please be careful?!" Owen grumbled from the back, as he tried desperately to keep Gwen's head still in his lap.
"No time for that," Jack muttered through gritted teeth. The car swerved past a woman crossing the road.
"Jack!" Tosh yelled angrily. "You almost hit her!"
"She's dead!"
"What?!"
"Did you not see the massive bite mark in her neck?! Believe me…once the effect of the overdose of retcon wears off that woman is a goner."
"Lovely," Gwen muttered and let off a small squeak of pain as the car sped over another bump.
"Jack, we're no good to Ianto if we don't make it to him in one piece you know!" Tosh growled, clutching her seat.
"We don't even know where we're driving!" Owen complained. "Can we slow down and think about this for a moment?"
"If Saeth is capable of unleashing this on a city," Jack mumbled gesturing outside the window to a woman being eaten by two boys outside a shop, "then she's certainly capable of harming Yan. And I promised both him and myself that I wouldn't let anything happen to him."
"Jack…he's not a child. He's capable of looking after himself!" Gwen reasoned. "And we will find him…just a bit more carefully!"
Jack's mobile buzzed, stopping him from arguing the matter further.
"Hello this is Jack Harkness speaking," he answered it, ignoring Owen's questionable look.
"Jack!"
"Ianto?" Gwen, Tosh and Owen stared at Jack. "Are you alright, talk to me!"
The voice at the other end changed. "Hello Jack…"
"Oh god…" Jack's heart stopped, recognising the voice immediately. "Dakota. What do you want with Ianto?"
"Oh don't worry…he's fine with us," Dakota continued into the phone. "Quite an adorable little boy you have here. Wouldn't want anything to happen to him would you?"
A cry of pain erupted in the background on the other side of the phone and Jack winced in pain as well as he recognised it to have been Ianto.
"Please…what do you want?" Jack asked, a pained expression on his face. "Just don't hurt Yan…"
"You'll find out soon enough," Dakota muttered, hanging up.
Jack turned to Tosh. "Get a trace on that phone call," he whispered angrily. "immediately."
Poor Yan :( Please review x
