Chapter-23

As Owen, Gwen and Tosh entered Jack's office baffled by his sudden and abrupt changed behavior; they watched as Jack frantically searched the neglected files that had accumulated on his desk, before he apparently located the one he was searching for.

"Wilfred and Mary Davies, owners of 'Curious Wilfred' Bookstore," Jack immediately opened the file, scanning each page until he found the information he was seeking.

"Jack is that what I think it is?" Tosh asked, recognizing the file as the one she had given him earlier.

For the first time since Ianto disappeared, Jack flashed them his patented megawatt grin that spread across his face like light in a dark room. "Yes Tosh and it's our missing link to finding Ianto."

Owen and Gwen threw each other puzzled looks; confused by Tosh and Jack's vague conversation which they didn't understand other than it was somehow connected to Ianto.

"Jack, what's going on?" Gwen asked, hating to be out of the loop. Gwen couldn't help but frown that Tosh and Jack appeared to be sharing information that she wasn't privileged to.

"Yeah Jack, what the bloody hell is going on?" Owen snarled with his usual amount of good manners.

"Owen, Gwen, have a seat and I will explain," Jack said gleefully.

As Jack took the seat at his desk, Tosh sat in the seat opposite him, leaving Gwen and Owen to sit on the couch, which caused Gwen to scowl.

"Owen, Gwen when we questioned Amy there was something about her answers I couldn't shake", Jack paused as if he could hear her now. "If you remember Amy said the two guys were very careful not to hurt Ianto and had called him 'curious Will'." At that point Jack opened the folder that lay before him, "when we went over all the evidence there was one player missing."

"Jack what are you saying? Who could we have possible missed?" Asked Gwen with a frown.

"Williamson and the two guys who adducted Ianto weren't the only ones that had been in close contact with him. I believe Amy was right, they did care about Ianto and the missing link to all this is Mary Davies," Jack explained to his team what he had found out, or at least what he believed he had found out.

"Jack, who the hell is Mary Davies and what does she have to do with our Tea-boy going missing?" Owen asked, now standing in front of Jack's desk.

"Owen, Mary Davies is the lady that would visit Ianto daily in the tourist office," Tosh replied.

"But, Jack, that doesn't make any sense, what possible reason would she have to harm Ianto?" Gwen asked.

"Gwen, I never said she wanted to hurt Ianto, in fact I think it just the opposite. One thing I've learned, nothing is ever what it appears to be, and when Mary took an intense interest in Ianto then started constantly visiting the tourist office to see him, I started getting suspicious and asked Ianto about her."

At this point Tosh spoke up, "once Jack found out Mary's name he asked me to pull up all the information that I could on her." Tosh paused, "Jack's instinct was right, what we found was very sad as well as shocking."

As Gwen and Owen listened avidly Jack resumed talking. "I believe the reason we haven't received any demands or threat is because the person or persons Ianto is with don't know his association with Torchwood or that he's really Ianto Jones."

"Jack, are you bloody joking?" Owen shouted. "Why go through the trouble of kidnapping him if not for a vendetta against Torchwood or you?"

"Owen, they think he's their long lost son, Wilfred and Mary Davies owners of 'Curious Wilfred Bookstore', lost their only son years ago in an accident on a school trip. They named the bookstore after him in remembrance, but they never gave up hope that Wilfred Jr. was alive. The witness from the centre overheard the two men calling Ianto, 'Curious Will'."

"Jack even if what you are saying is true, the Davies would know their own son", Gwen scoffed still not totally convinced.

"Maybe under normal circumstances I would agree with you Gwen, but the Davies' son was presumed killed in a ferry accident when he was fourteen and sadly no body was found. But the Davies never gave up their search. I believe this is where Williamson comes in." Jack took a deep breath before continuing. "And this didn't help", Jack said and showed them a computerized photo from the file of how the Davies son would look now.

Gwen clapped her hands to her mouth, "Oh my god, Jack, this is Ianto!"

"What the hell!" Owen exclaimed.

For a while there was complete silence while everyone gazed at the picture, trying to work out what was going on. It was quite a shock for Gwen and Owen who were seeing this for the first time. They didn't know what to think, but knew that they would follow their Captain's orders and get to Ianto to find out the truth about all this.

"This is why we need to get to Newport right away. Tosh and I had the same reaction when we first saw this photo. I was going to tell Ianto as well and show him the file, but I never got the chance."

"Jack you really believe the Davies have Ianto?" Tosh asked.

"Yes, and I believe there is something more going on that we don't know about, and that scares me. Gwen, you and Owen can go over the file while Tosh and I take care of a few things in the hub. Meet us at the SUV in fifteen minutes. I'll call Rhiannon once we get there."

Newport

Abby watched in shock as Wilfred's body hit the floor, she was completely frozen in place. She knew that she should have tried to catch him in his fall and make sure that he didn't hit his head, but it had all happened too quickly.

"Oh, God, Wilfred," Abby whispered, clasping her hands on her mouth. She knew that she needed to move, to make sure that he was ok, but she just couldn't. Her brain was divided in two, one part of it was staying frozen in panic unable to think, react or reason, while the other was screaming at her to do something, anything.

Abby made her way towards the man lying on the floor, extending a shaking hand she pushed tentatively at his shoulder, unsure if she wasn't going to do more damage. Still she had to check, this was the man who had captured her heart over the last few days, and she had to make sure he was alright. Abby couldn't help but wonder what was with the name "Jack" that was what he'd said before blacking out. She touched Wilfred's shoulder and whispered his name worriedly. He didn't stir, so she tried a little bit of a firmer push, turning his body into the recovery position on his side.

"Will", she whispered again. "Will, come on wake up. What is going on?"
