Chapter-2
~~~~NEWPORT~~~~
Wilfred and Mary Davies were a happily married couple, who spent most of their time enjoying life, entertaining friends and family when not managing their bookstore in Newport. Mary and Wilfred were told early on in their marriage that Mary might never be able to have children, so when Mary discovered she was pregnant they were ecstatic.
After giving birth to a healthy baby boy against all odds, Wilfred Jr. became the center of his parent's lives, who were very protective of him. Whenever his parents couldn't find him they knew he would be tucked away in a corner of the bookstore reading, always seeking answers for things he didn't understand. By the time he was twelve he had rightfully earned the nickname "Curious Wilfred" a walking library of questions and knowledge.
Mary would laugh whenever her husband would scold their son; he would respond with the cutest habit of arching his eyebrows causing his father to scowled and walk away. But he wasn't fooling her she watch how he glowed proudly when their son's teachers raved about his intelligence and eidetic memory, wanting to advance him to a higher grade, or the love in his eyes as he listen to his son talk to him about the cutest girl in his class.
But all their happiness was destroyed during a school outing when Wilfred Jr. was one of several students presumed killed in an unforeseen accident on a ferry ride, his body was never found.
The Davies never gave up hope. Wilfred's birth had been a miracle so could his survival, with this thought they held on to the belief he could have been pushed ashore, rescued alive somewhere with memory loss and placed in some state facility; lost within the system.
After losing their only child the couple was less active with family and friends. Although they did keep their bookstore; renaming it ''Curious Wilfred'' in memory of their beloved son. Now ten years later the Davies who had never given up hope would receive a call that would change their life forever.
Ring, Ring
"Good morning, Curious Wilfred Bookstore, may I help you?"
"Yes, may I speak with Mr. or Mrs. Davies?"
"One moment please."
"Hello this is Mr. Davies, can I help you?"
"Yes Mr. Davies, this is Paul Williamson, of Williamson Investigation there have been some positive new developments regarding your case."
It had been months since he'd talked to Paul, after the P.I. had pledged to never give up trying to help the Davies after hearing Mary's heart wrenching plea for closure. She needed to know if their son was truly dead. So when work permitted, in his spare time, Paul had continued his search on his own, now ten year later and with more advanced technology his determination appeared to have finally paid off.
Taking a deep breath Mr. Davies nervously spoke "are you sure, have our prayers finally been answer after all these years?"
"Mr. Davies, if you and your wife could please come to my office about one, I will reveal all the new information I have collected."
"Thank you Paul, my wife and I will see you at 1, goodbye."
Wilfred waste no time in finding his wife, who was in the office going over invoice records, and sweeping her into his arms he told her the news. Mary was overwhelmed, her husband arms around her kept her from falling when her legs gave out. As they sat on the couch embraced in each other's arms, tears streamed down their faces. Whatever news Paul had, they would finally have closure.
~~FLASHBACK~~~
Paul Williamson of Williamson Investigation sat behind his desk, after nine almost ten years he finally had a break in the Davies case. Once again he went over the evidence; eighty-five percent chance the photo generated image of Wilfred Davies Jr. (aka Curious Wilfred) matched the young man on the opposite page it was uncanny.
Paul stood, walking over to the window of his office and looking out he reflected back to the call he received from his friend Sergeant Henry Baldwin at Cardiff PD.
After an injury, P.C Andy Davidson was assigned desk duty working with Paul's friend Henry in the evidence and record department, Andy had notice the updated computer generated photo of a 14 year old Wilfred Davies Jr. that was being circulated and how he would appear today.
Andy comments to Henry that a bloke he knew could be an identical twin to the guy in the photo. Henry was intrigued by Andy's comment and collected as much information he could from Andy, passing it on to Paul.
Paul didn't hesitate to get a train from Newport to Cardiff, it was just a fifteen minute train journey and they were frequent. He had observed the young man for a week, even making contact at the local park.
Paul returned to his desk picking up the report on the young man, oddly he couldn't find much information on his childhood, as though he didn't exist. This would fit in with his case, the Davies boy was fourteen when he disappeared, and again he repeated his earlier thought, what if he's wrong? The damage could be irreversible. Rubbing his hand through his hair Paul decided to go with his evidence, picking up his phone and dialing while closing the file.
~~~PRESENT~~~~
After giving their two employees a list of duties to perform in there absence Mary and Wilfred headed to Paul's office. As they entered the large complex building that held Williamson Investigation on the fifth floor, Mary noticed there hadn't been many changes since her last visit. The office still remained neatly furnished with a calming, professional atmosphere
When the Davies were escorted into Paul's office they are greeted by a cheerful Paul, seated behind his desk he watched as the Davies nervously sat before him. Paul smiled, hoping this new information would bring some happiness to their life.
Paul open the files that laid before him, taking a deep breath and swallowing, he spoke with confidence "Mr. & Ms Davies we are 85 % sure your son did survive the ferry accident", as soon as those words were out of his mouth, Mary broke down in joyful tears along with her husband. After they had composed themselves, Paul continued explaining his findings.
"With the developments of new advanced technology, we were able to take the pictures you supplied of your son and with computer generated imaging we were able to pretty much see how he would look today along with the other information you as well as myself have provided to the lab.
"But let me stress nothing is one hundred percent positive and there is room for error, I need you to understand this. Now the information we have on the young man we perceive to be your son, is that he lives in Cardiff, Wales is married and has a son."
The Davies sat in silence as their minds slowly absorbed the information they had just heard while being flooded with different stages of emotion; relief, happiness and anger.
For Wilfred the strongest was anger that their son was so close and no one was able to find him after the accident leaving him to suffer alone, anger for the pain and grief he and his wife endured for ten long years thinking their son was dead.
After a moment of silence, Paul continued, "according to the information we have on your son, Wilfred Davies Jr. is now going by the name of Jones, Ianto Jones. His married name is Ianto Harkness-Jones."
