Chapter-19
The Torchwood team finally had a glint of hope; Amy had recognized Ianto from the photo as the guy being helped from the center by two friends who said he had fallen sick.
Returning to the hub, Jack updated Tosh on what they had learned. Jack wanted her to intensify her scans of the surveillance footage and also pull all past footage of Ianto outside the hub alone and especially with Josh.
Tosh absorbed the new information and immediately went to work, restarting her scans of the surveillance footage, slowing it down even more than before until she was going frame by frame, blowing it up bigger and smoothing out the resolution. Next she would continue scanning past footage of Ianto when he wasn't in the hub (she knew Jack had forgotten this was already being done), if anyone came within an inches of Ianto, Tosh would find them and use her recognition software for a quick identification.
While Tosh performed her computer magic on the footage Gwen and Owen were both concerned about Jack. Since their return to the hub he seemed even more distant, immediately disappearing into his office. After ten minutes he abruptly stormed back into the main hub, announcing he was going out.
"Jack you've been distracted since we left the center, please talk to us. What's going on?" Gwen pleaded.
Tosh looked up over her glasses as Owen join in "Jack we're all worried about Ianto and want to find him just as much as you do. In fact, Gwen and I are going back to question the neighbors in the area and show them Ianto's picture."
Jack closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before speaking "Owen I know, I just need to get out for a while to clear my mind and see my son. There's something sketchy about Amy's statement. It's like it's just at the edge of my brain. My gut instinct tells me it's a clue to Ianto's disappearance. I just need to clear my head and figure this out."
The team nodded their understanding as Jack turned, walking toward the invisible lift. He is stopped cold in his tracks by the sudden blaring sound of alarms going off. Running back to Tosh' desk, they're joined by Gwen and Owen as she tapped frantically on her keyboard.
"Tosh what is it?" Jack asked with urgency.
"Jack, we have one, no two weevils rampaging through Bute Park, attacking pedestrians. Reports are showing one dead and three injured."
Jack, Gwen, and Owen rushed to the fully equipped SUV in the Torchwood underground parking lot, the captain calling over his shoulder for Tosh to notify the authorities they were on their way and to cordon off the area. "Keep us informed."
Jack sped out of the parking garage onto the busy street breaking every speed limit known to mankind. Holding onto the back seat passenger door, Owen cursed under his breath "why the bloody hell couldn't I or Gwen drive, and what moron at the DMV gave our fearless leader a driver's license?"
"Jack we're going there to help, not to end up on the causality list before we arrive." Owen scowled.
Gwen, who was in the front passenger seat, smirked at hearing Owens's comment while Jack looked at the doctor through the rearview mirror and frowned.
Safely arriving at their destination, Owen was set to make a sarcastic remark when he spotted the scene in the park, there were two rather large and very agitated weevils surrounding three civilians, who were huddle together near a tree.
"Bloody hell Jack, this is bad" Owen exclaimed.
Jack was glad the police had followed his instruction clearing the area of any lurkers who could easily become victims. Jack informed Gwen and Owen their main objective was to get the hostages to safety. He and Owen would lure the weevils away, while Gwen helped them to escape. One dead pedestrian was already one too many. Once the hostages were safe they would go into action capturing them the weevils.
Once they had geared up, Jack sent Owen and Gwen to his left and he went to the right, after he distracted the weevils, Gwen would get the victims to safety while he and Owen would use the weevil spray to sedate and capture them, if that didn't work their orders were shoot to kill, under no circumstance did he want another victim.
Approaching the weevils Jack went into action causing enough noise to distract them from their victims while Gwen motioned them to move swiftly and quietly to the awaiting patrol car with Andy inside.
Owen heard the first weevil growl in pain as he surged toward him, knew his tranq darts had hit their target when it fell to the ground unconscious. The remaining one was locked in battle with Jack, the weevil wasn't easy to subdue and the spray wasn't working. Jack's scream of pain gurgled out as sharp claws came down, ripping his throat open. Gwen returned just as three gunshots rang out from Owen gun and Jack lay injured under the dead weevil.
As Jack life faded away, Wilfred Jr. sat in the back seat of his parent's car, headed home to start his new life. The Davies had met with Dr. Steward, who had basically repeated what Wilfred Sr. had already said.
Dr. Steward however did stress that they should not to push their son to remember things, informing them of their son's early episode that had left him in excruciating pain. He knew as time went on he would slowly add more memories provided by the father during Wilfred Jr.' visits.
Arriving at their home, Wilfred was escorted to his room by Mary. With loving care her son's fingers trailed across the books lining the wall and smiled, turning to look at her he smiled, "I read all of these?"
Mary was overcome with emotion, "Yes dear, you read them all".
Mary kissed his forehead and decided to let him get some rest before dinner, Tomorrow she would introduce him to Abby and Lily at the bookstore. Before leaving Mary put a small bag with his personal belongings on the bedside table.
Wilfred Jr. smiled saying, "Mom I love you, please be patient with me. In time I know I'll remember".
