Chapter-14

The loud sound of screeching tires could be heard from a block away as the black Torchwood SUV came to an abrupt stop in front of Gwen and Rhys' building. Gwen and her teammates had safely (despite Jack's driving) arrived at her flat within ten minutes, thanks to their Captain breaking every speed limit in Cardiff with Ianto and Owen had clinging to any part on the SUV they could reach from the back seats.

Owen had cursed profusely under his breath mumbling about how it would be Jack's driving and not a rogue weevil or alien would result in his death. Owen often wondered what moron at the DMV had given their fearless leader a driver's license, all the while silently thanking Tosh for controlling the traffic signals so that their path was at least clear.

A loud sigh Ianto hadn't intended to, escape his lips and Jack looked at him through the rearview mirror, frowning, thinking it was a reaction to his driving.

Ianto rolled his eyes, after all this time he had become accustomed to his husband's driving; no what, or rather who was weighing heavy on his mind, was Liam. They both had been at Torchwood One working under Yvonne Hartman. She had taught as well as demanded many things of her employees: the most important being resilience. Had Liam use that training and knowledge to outsmart him with the retcon?

Now in front of her flat, Gwen jumped out from the front passenger side already running as Jack and Owen followed after her, leaving Ianto to collect the keys from the ignition and secure the SUV.

Upon entering the flat they had expected to see Rhys, but instead were greeted by the sound of music and the scene that had obviously caused Rhys to break the retcon and his resulting anger. Jack and Owen exchanged glances knowing what the display indicated. Owen and Gwen's brief affair along with her misuse of retcon on Rhys was known by the entire team.

"Bloody hell Jack, this is bad" Owen exclaimed.

A frantic Gwen searched each room, calling out for Rhys but getting no response, only stopping in the kitchen when she found a note addressed to her left on the table.

Ianto arrived a few minutes later to find Jack at the kitchen table comforting a sobbing Gwen, while Owen scanned the room and the items left by their mystery intruder, but no Rhys.

Ianto knew what the items represented and someone wanted Rhys to know also, but why? He had the nagging feeling that his suspicions were right-on. Liam was going after his friends, the flowers sent to the hub had just been the beginning and Ianto knew he couldn't put it off any longer; he had to tell Jack.

"Owen, what happened?" asked Ianto, concern clearly written on his face.

"How the hell would I know?" Owen snapped. "Except that some sick fuck just has just destroyed Gwen's life. That thing we had was over a long time ago but now Rhys knows, apparently this triggered his memory; he left a note for Gwen with "I remember" scribed on it.

"I can't believe Rhys would just leave without a fight, he loves Gwen" Ianto declared.

"Well sometimes infidelity can outweigh love", scowled Owen, "Now stop the jabber and help me collect these items, make sure you use gloves. I want to find this psycho more than Jack." Owens' comment sent a shiver down Ianto's spine, he had felt the doctor's wrath before and he dreaded what would happen after his talk with Jack. And then everyone will learn what he had worked so hard to hide.

Over an hour later Jack and his team returned to the hub. Owen had collected all the evidence and Jack had convinced a distraught Gwen, with Ianto's help, to pack an overnight bag and stay at the hub in one of three rooms set aside for each team member during an emergency.

Gwen had collapsed on the tattered Torchwood couch, slumped with her head down; she couldn't bear to see the pitying or sympathetic looks in her teammates' eyes. Owen had made a special effort to avoid her, escaping to the autopsy bay immediately after entering the hub, determined to find something that would help them get this sick bastard.

Ianto had returned to the main hub after putting Gwen's belongings in her room, and then headed into the kitchen to brew coffee where he had bumped into Tosh. The friends shared a sad look, while neither especially loved Gwen; they didn't like to see their teammate hurt. Jack had emerged from his office and cleared his throat loudly to get his teams attention.

"Owen, Tosh, until we get control of this situation, I prefer that you two remain here at the hub. Whoever this is, they're going after all of us not just Ianto" said Jack with a worried look. "No one leave the hub alone is that understood?"

They all nodded in agreement.

"Tosh were you able to find anything on the CCTV?"

"I spotted a guy going into Gwen's building before Rhys arrived and I was able to magnify his picture. I'm running it through our Facial Recognition Software now, it's still running and hasn't been able to identify him yet" says Tosh.

"Thanks Tosh. Owen, were you able to find anything in what we collected at Gwen's flat?" Jack inquired hopefully.

"Well Jack, I found two sets of fingerprint on the glasses and wine bottle, I'm still waiting on results."

Hearing everyone's updates Gwen seemed to have found the determination she needed to help capture the person who had destroyed her life. "Jack what can I do to help?" Gwen asked.

Jack smiled, this was the Gwen Cooper he wanted to see; "Don't give up or surrender. Call Ruth and see if you can find out where Rhys is and if anything strange happened on the job lately, whoever this is has to be watching Rhys as well as you."

As Jack headed back to his office he couldn't ignore the fact that no one outside of Torchwood knew about Owen and Gwen's affair or the retcon. Whoever this person was, knew things he or she should not be able to .

Ianto started to pass out coffees to each of his team members. He would talk with Jack when he got to his office. Owen was still waiting for the results of the fingerprints he was running so he went into his favorite porn site. He immediately spotted a new video titled "House Call" that had received a remarkable one million hits within forty-five minutes of being uploaded, relaxing back in his seat Owen clicked into the link for a pleasant diversion.

Just as Ianto arrived at Owens' desk with his coffee, Owen angrily jumped up, a venomous rage making his movements jerky and uncoordinated. Staring at his computer screen he shouted, "What the bloody hell is this crap?!" His flailing arms sending Ianto along with his tray falling to the floor as Jack ran in from his office followed closely by Gwen and Tosh to join a rumpled Ianto in staring at Owens's computer in shock.
