Chapter-31

Wilfred returned to the family room to see Mary dancing on the video surrounded by three children, each calling her grandma. They were later replaced by Harkness who kissed her cheek while they danced together. Wilfred grimaced at the sight, but that turned into sadness seeing tears of happiness slide down Mary cheeks as she described every detail of the night's events to Abby.

As he watched the video and Mary, his eyes became misty simultaneously with hers, finally realizing the pain he had and would continue to put her through if he went on with his plan. Finding their son had brought so much happiness back into her life.

At that moment Wilfred made a decision, he didn't have to like his son's lifestyle or choice in partner, but he would not take Mary's happiness away; she deserved so much more than a life filled with pain and loss. No matter how he personally felt about Harkness, the man made his son and wife happy. He would find some way to tolerate their relationship and avoid contact with Harkness for Mary's sake.

After saying goodnight, Wilfred watched as the cab pulled away, taking Abby home. Closing the front door he returned to the family room to find Mary smiling softly to herself as she turned the pages of the photo album. Hearing Wilfred's footsteps Mary looked up, closing the album as he sat next to her.

Mary looked lovingly at Wilfred before speaking, "Cariad, it isn't often people are given a second chance, but we have been. And each day that you deny our son and grandson from your life because of your narrow minded homophobia and bigotry, is time you will never get back. Don't let your hatred rob you of what others would give their lives to recapture. Jack is a wonderful man who loves our son and grandson dearly; yes, Josh is our grandson."

At that point Mary stood up, embracing the photo album and video to her chest. With a strong voice she proclaimed their son and his family would continue to be a part of her life and would be treated with dignity and respect in their home. Mary took a deep breath before continuing, "I hope they will eventually be a part of your life too. I'm warning you Wilfred, don't make me choose. I guarantee you won't like the outcome. I suggest you think long and hard about that, I'm going to bed."

As Mary walked up the stairs to their bedroom still clutching her precious possessions, Wilfred sat with his mouth agape. He was in shock, stunned, no he was flabbergasted! It had been twenty odd years since he'd caught a glimpse of this strong, independent and outspoken woman who knew what she wanted and let nothing stand in her way. His Mary was back.

After recovering from the shock of Mary heartfelt and harsh words, Wilfred pulled out his mobile, placing a call to Victor and getting no response. He left his friend a message to meet him tomorrow at the pub. He would explain later why he'd changed his mind regarding Harkness.

Victor could feel the vibration of his mobile from his coat pocket, fishing it out and reading Wilfred's text he scowled. This wasn't Wilfred; the man who always stood and fought for what he believed was right. Victor decided he would make sure this time wasn't any different. Wilfred would thank him later.

The plans had been set, Victor needed to show Wilfred's kid, his godson, that this Harkness was scum, he would cheat on him with any sex male or female having witnessed Jack's flirtatious behavior at the pub Victor had no doubt. Once he understood this Wilfred Jr. would return to Newport, leaving Harkness alone to wallow in his own filthy sordid life while Wilfred Junior's family helped him to start a respectable, normal life. Victor's own son had done it, so Wilfred's could too.

Jack stood, stretching slowly before closing the last file on his desk. The rest of the team had left hours ago. He smiled remember his son and Ianto both wanting to stay with him rather than having dinner with Rhiannon, Jack had insisted Ianto and Rhiannon needed to spend some family time together without any in-laws.

Checking his watch Jack realized he needed to make his rounds of the hub and it residents. Opening the skylight so Myfanwy could return to the hub after her nightly outing, Jack moved on to find Janet safely secured in her cell so he transferred the rift predictor to his wrist band before venturing out for his nightly walk.

Exiting the hub through the tourist office Jack inhaled deeply, taking in the fresh cool breeze that surrounded him. Allowing his eyes to close for a moment as images of Ianto clouded his mind. He shuddered at the mere thought that his family could have been snatched from him or placed in danger. The thought of this caused him to clench his fists in anger as he moved along the sidewalk toward one of Cardiff's tallest buildings.

Watching Jack approach in the distance Victor sneered "I'll say one thing for this freak; he's a creature of habit" before taking his position in the dark alley, leaving Carl in the car, crouched down in the passenger seat ready to pounce when the time was right.

As Jack passed the entrance to the alley he's attacked from behind by Victor. Suddenly all the anger, grief and fury that Jack had been holding in over the last few week erupts like a volcano. Victor screamed out in pain as his body was slammed to the ground, stomach and head repeatedly punched by Jack. Victor called out to Carl but his friend didn't answer and Victor's vision was starting to fade out.

"Whoa Jackie boy, you started the party without me" John Hart smirked, as he held Carl in a chokehold before loosening this grip, allowing the man to collapse on the ground.

"'What are you doing here John?" Jack asked, still seething with rage from being attacked.

John laughed crudely, "Besides pissing these two morons off? What crawled up your backside and died?"

Jack was losing his patience with John and spoke quietly but with venom in his voice, "I'm not going to ask you again John, what in the hell are you doing here?" Jack didn't want to attract any attention to what had happened in the alley, so far the noise had gone unnoticed. The fact that his ex-lover was there only spelled more trouble.

"Ok! Ok! Calm down not here." John replied. "Let's take these morons with us and I will explain." While John and Jack held the two-unconscious men they were teleported by John's Vortex Manipulator into a seedy hotel room.

Through all his contempt and anger toward his ex-lover, Jack listen as John explained how he had discovered that an artifact he had sold through the black market to a Doctor, had been used on Eye Candy, who was one of his patients. John explained how he had come to Cardiff to make sure Ianto was ok, also revealing that while following Ianto he'd notice Ianto wasn't the only one being followed, Jack was also.

Jack realized Owen was right about Dr. Steward. While making a mental note to have his team dig deeper into the black market dealing with alien artifacts. Jack continued to listen, anger smoldering just beneath the surface as John told of following the bloke on the bed to a pub, where a drunken Carl had revealed their devious plan for Jack. Said plan consisted of putting him in this very, seedy room with a couple of male prostitutes, and taking some photographs or videos to show to Ianto later as proof of his infidelity. "And you know me Jackie boy I couldn't let you have all the fun without me", John laughed.

Standing with his arms folded, Jack vehemently stared at the two unconscious men fighting the urge to revert back to the Jack Harkness who dealt out violence, torture and revenge against his enemies without a second's thought. He needed answers. Why was he being targeted and by whom? For the safety of his family he'd find them. Checking their IDs he noted their names were Victor Pratt and Carl Douglas, both from Newport.

Sitting, restrained in a chair, Victor began to regain consciousness while mumbling for Carl. Becoming more aware of his surrounding he saw Carl was unconscious on a nearby bed, spotting Jack he lashed out with bitter hatred "You low-life, freaking pansy! What have you done to him?"

Jack walked over to Victor, grabbing him roughly by his collar, "I'll be asking the questions here and you'd better answer! Now, why did you attack me?" Jack shouted.

"Get your hands off me you filthy poofter!" Victor shouted, spitting in Jack's face. Before Jack could control his emotions he'd hit Victor, knocking him and the chair to the floor.

"There's still hope for you after all Jackie boy." John smirked, sitting the chair upright with Victor still restrained in it.

Jack stood, fearless in front of Victor, vehemently demanding the truth. Victor started spewing garbage about how Jack's kind thinks they're entitled, flaunting their filth around and corrupting innocent young men while destroying decent, respectable families.

"You know nothing about me "Jack shouted incredulously. "And what gives you the right to pass judgment on me or anyone?"

"I know more than you think!" Victor growled, "you took advantage of an innocent young man after he suffered a horrendous tragedy and trapped him in a world of filth and sin while his family in Newport suffered in pain, thinking he was dead."

John smirked. "Well, well, well, it looks like you've been busy Jackie boy."

"Shut up John, you're not helping" Jack snapped back, as realization finally set in. This was about the Davies and Ianto. He knew Wilfred Senior would be trouble, but he'd let his guard down, caught up in the happiness of having his family back.

Jack realized he had to make a decision. Send a message that would leave no doubt in Wilfred, Carl and Victor's minds to think twice before they even considered coming after him or hurting his family and that included Mary. Jack knew he had to make his move before Carl awoke, pulling John to the side Jack whispered his plan as Victor called him every derogatory slur in existence for a gay person.
