Right...

Hello. I bet you thought i'd forgotten about this story? It's been almost a year. I'm sorry about that, but i've been really busy with my A levels and University applications, etc so I haven't had time to update. Anyway, today I suddenly had a burst of inspiration and so decided to do some writing. Hopefully I will update again soon :) but I promise it won't be nearly as long this time.

As usual I own nothing, but please review. x


Ianto strolled down the whitewashed corridor, clipboard in hand, checking the cells to the left and right of him. The sounds of moans and shrieks could be heard from the majority of them, but Ianto did his best to avoid looking at the silent ones the most, as he knew what he would probably find in there.

Hearing a shout behind him he spun around to find Saeth strolling up to meet him.

"How's it going Yan?" she smiled sweetly. "Enjoying your day?"

'Don't you fucking call me that' Ianto thought, but forced a smile. "Absolutely. I don't know why I didn't agree to this sooner Saeth, it's a fabulous idea." He wrapped an arm round her shoulder and squeezed. "Plus, it means I get to spend more time with you."

"I knew you'd come round to thinking like us," Dakota put in, coming up behind them. "We have quite an operation running here, don't you think?"

Ianto nodded. "How long before we can get this thing worldwide?"

"Not long at all. As soon as we can build up the strength, we will transmit our message to the entire world, letting them know we no longer intend to play nicely. Britain will soon be the most powerful country in existence."

Ianto grinned again and nodded to the two women as he swerved off down the side passage which he knew to lead to his friends' cell.

Entering the code quickly, and glancing around to make sure that Saeth or Dakota hadn't followed him, he entered and shut the door behind him.

"Ianto!"

"How's it going man?"

Ianto raised his fingers to his lips to silence them. "Right, I think I can get us out tonight, as long as we're careful." He held out an identity card to show them. "Saeth finally gave me one of these. It will get us past the security protocols on the outside doors. Tonight, while i'm on duty i'll come in with your dinner as usual. Then, on my way out I will leave the door very slightly ajar. When the coast is clear, follow me. Got it?"

Yestin nodded. "Sounds fair enough to me. Any plans to get past the infected?" he inclined his head towards the window.

"Saeth gave me a stun gun. That's the best we have."

Rhys grimaced. "Looks like we have a long night ahead of us."

Jack held the binoculars up to his eyes one more time. "Are you sure that's where we have to go?" He asked with a defeated sigh as he watched the infected crawl round the mountain top.

"Afraid so Jack," Tosh answered, showing him the scanner she was using. "That's where Ianto is."

"This is ridiculous!" exclaimed Owen, throwing his hands up in the air in annoyance. "Even if Ianto is still alive, how do you expect us to get past the 'crazies'?"

"Ianto is still alive Owen," Jack snapped angrily. "And, you have a gun don't you?"

"Those people are still alive Jack..." whispered Gwen. "Do we really have to shoot them?"

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing else we can do- except try to slip past unnoticed."

"Wonderful," Owen grimaced as he watched two young girls in a school uniform bite into the body of a third. "Have I ever mentioned how much I love my job?"
