Ianto didn't think about anything that might go wrong today.
He pulled on the large coat Bonnie had gifted him that was comforting, a Native American print on the coat that was a similar cut to Jack's Great Coat. Ianto was feeling the cold today. He was in another world with several lists humming as he drove into the car park and shut down the jeep, turning to kiss his daughter before she took off and he was half way across the lot before it registered that he was not alone, someone was following step for step amongst the cars.
Ianto throws a look over his shoulder, and sees three men, rushing towards him, knocking people out of the way like bowling pins. Ianto turns to face the men... And suddenly throws the coat up over his shoulder dramatically, like Batman - blocking their view.
Ianto disappears into the oncoming crowd on the main street.
Dork #1 and Dork #2 are pushed back into the car park but Dork #3 bulls his way out, shouldering through the people who are looking around confused.
As Ianto nears the bottom of the street, he looks back. DORK #3 is coming down the street like an infernal machine, tossing towns folk aside like rag-dolls. Spotting Ianto, he charges but gets caught between two men trying to raise a banner for the weekend market. He goes right through it ripping the material apart with his bare hands, pulling the men down, after him.
Ianto turns past the wall at the bottom of the street. He sees some off-duty soldiers posing for a photo by the statue of Daniel Boone. Just beyond this Daisy is coming towards him with tat for the sale she has obviously collected from other people on a push cart.
Ianto approaches the soldier with the camera, offering to take the picture for him. He hisses, "Look alive, incoming."
The soldiers widen their eyes as they recognise the man speaking to them, then with perfect timing, Ianto turns, and - POP! - sets off the flash Dork #3's face just as he comes around the corner.
Ianto flips the camera back to the soldier and heads for the push cart. Wheeling it around, he shoves it at the Dork, who is still stumbling, blinded by the flashbulb.
The cart slams into the man, knocking him on his back. The cart stops on top of him, pinning him down.
Ianto takes off, threading through the crowd toward a side street.
Dork #3 jumps to his feet. He's getting really pissed off. He looks around for Ianto - just catching a glimpse of him, as he disappears down the side street.
Dork #1 and Dork #2 arrive at the wrecked cart - in time to see Dork #3 disappear onto the side Street. Dork #1 motions for Dork #2 to come with him on a parallel course along the other side of the building. The two soldeirs are starting to follow.
Ianto enters the main square from the side-street. Sticking close to the buildings, he ducks into an alleyway. Shrinking back into the shadows, Ianto peers out into the Square.
Dork #1 and Dork 2 charge in. Ianto watches as they split up and start looking for him.
Suddenly, a huge hand grabs Ianto's shoulder, spinning him around.
DORK #3 has Ianto in his grasp, with murder his eyes. In one fast move, Ianto side-steps, ducks, and twists out of the coat, throwing it over the Dork's head. And as the Dork struggles to get out from under it, Ianto slams him head-first into a wall, knocking him out.
Ianto heads off down the alleyway, away from the Square, toward the back courtyard of the pub.
Dork #2 enters, spots the figure in Ianto's coat. Very quietly, he pulls out his gun, kneels... And as he brings the gun up to the cloaked figure's head, chambering a round the coat erupts, with Dork #3 viciously biting Dork #2's gun-hand, hurling him against the opposite wall.
With a frustrated fury, Dork #3 rips off the cloak, and stands.
"Marco - I didn't know –"
"After him!"
They charge off.
Ianto enters from the alley, scans the courtyard: Three walls. No way out... Save for a spiral staircase that leads up to the fourth floor balcony, overlooking the courtyard.
Ianto takes the steps, two at a time.
Sounds of a scuffle outside the wall tells him at least one Dork is down as the soldiers struggle with one.
The two Dorks enter the square. Motioning for quiet, they hear Iantos on the steps, and race up after him.
Coming off the staircase, Ianto tries the doors to the interior of the building: Locked. Too heavy to bust in. He glances down at the courtyard, and hears footsteps running up the stairs.
Ianto glances up to the roof, just above his head: The only escape.
Ianto hops on the banister, reaches for the gutter. He pulls himself up, throws a leg over - onto the roof, and disappears from sight... Just as the Dorks enter the balcony from the staircase.
Ianto scurries along the steeply pitched terra-cotta roof. There are sheer drops on three sides - but the fourth side is a one-story drop to an adjoining building.
Ianto jumps.
