AN: Hey all so sorry I havent been posting more up as I write enough but I havent had internet for laptop. I hope you all forgive me? Three more chapters for you all... let me know what you think or what you think should happen maybe?

A few hours later, all four of them are out in the SUV chasing the thing that came through the rift. Driving through the streets of Cardiff, they lose the thing that is driving a sports car. Gwen seeing an old lady looking straight up the road at a set of traffic lights gets Owen to pull over to ask her.

"Excuse me? Have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?" She asks the lady after winding down her window. The lady looks at her for a moment then points in the direction they are going. "Thank you." She adds and they drive off in the direction.

"Species not on record, DNA type says some kind of land fish…" Tosh says while Owen drives them after the fish.

"All I'm saying is you are speeding and there are children." Gwen addresses Owen.

"Well if kids are out at midnight they've got it coming." Owen replies focusing on driving.

"Detecting high levels of algae…" Tosh says again from the back seat.

"Who's afraid of the big scaredy fish then?" Gwen asks Owen.

"Big fish with a gun." Owen answers.

"Special weapons?" Ianto asks from his seat next to Tosh in the back.

"Not that I can see." Tosh replies still looking at the computer screen.

"Do we need special weapons?" Ianto asks again loading his gun.

"What are we going to do when we catch it?" Owen wonders.

"Jack would know." Tosh answers

Yeah well Jacks not here is he? Jacks disappeared …fat lot of good Jack is." Owen replies annoyed that Jack was mentioned.

Gwen looks at him with a slightly upset look on her face. Then shouts "Blowfish!" as she spots it.

"Hold on!" Owen adds and drives erratically to catch up. "Hold the wheel." He says to Gwen, sitting in the passenger seat.

"Don't you dare Owen!"

"Hold the wheel!" He says again trying to hide the annoyance that she isn't listening and unbuckling his seatbelt.

Gwen reaches over and grabs it. "Ok got it."

Climbing out the window, sitting on the door, gun in hand he lines up the weapon pointing it at the car in front of them. Shooting three times aiming for the tires, missing the first two times but hitting one of the back ones on the third shot, he gets back in as the sports cars goes out of control. Once back inside he takes hold of the wheel again, blowing the tip of the gun showing off a bit for Ianto before following the out of control car.

Moments later they catch up to the car and all quickly get out of the SUV.

"Where is it? Where's it gone?" Gwen demands seeing that the blowfish isn't in the car anymore. Everyone looks around for any signs of where it might have gone. As they do two gunshots go off inside a house a few feet away from them.

"Go! Go! Go!" Owen says and leads them into the house. "Gwen go left. Tosh go right. Ianto take centre. Positions!" He says as he crouches down next to the injured guy who had been shot by the fish, preparing to help him.

"Massive levels of adrenaline mixed with approximately three grams of cocaine… this fish is wired." Tosh says aiming her scanner thing at the fish, which has a woman hostage, aiming a gun to her head.

"So this is team Torchwood, the teacher's pets. But teacher's gone hasn't he? Leaving the kiddy kids all alone and look at you trying so hard to be all grown up; the doctor, with his hands full of blood. The career, with her oh so beating heart. The technician with her cold devices, which leaves me with the office boy, promoted beyond his measure. All of you lost without your master, all of you pretending to be so brave, all of you so scared." The fish laughs and sniffs the hair of the woman he is holding. He turns back to face Ianto who is aiming his gun at the fish. "So what about it minion, can you do it? How good are you? How sharp is your aim? What if you kill her? What if I kill her first? Can you shoot before I do? Can you? Dare you? Would you? Won't you?" Just then there is a shot and the bullet goes straight through the blowfish's head, killing it. Ianto looks at his gun, the lady Gwen was protecting runs to the other woman, and then everyone turns to look behind them to where the shot really came from. Right there standing in the door, is their leader.

"Hey kids, d'ya miss me?" He says then laughs.

Owen curses under his breath and glances at Ianto, who looked shocked.

The drive back to the Hub is silent. Everyone to angry at Jack to speak. Once back, Ianto helps Owen carry in the dead fish, placing it in the medics Medical Bay, on the examination table.

"Hey Yan?"

"Yes Cariad?"

Owen smiles briefly then goes back to being serious. "Will you go back to him? Now that he is back?"

Ianto looks at the Londoner, grabbing one of his hands and lacing his fingers in Owen's. "No I won't be, I am with you now. So you are stuck with me." Ianto chuckles softly gazing into Owen's brown eyes.

Owen smiles more and returns to his cheeky self. "Oh is that right? Damn."

"Yes it is, now come on … work to do." Ianto smiles back and squeezes the hand in his gently before letting it go. "Now put that sexy coat of yours on and get busy."

Owen smirks. "Ok my gorgeous Welshman, stop distracting me and go do some work yourself or I won't get any done. "

Ianto chuckles and heads back upstairs to deal with the sports car.

Half an hour later, everyone is in the main room rushing around each other as well as discussing what they have found out.

"Got pretty organized without me." Jack states.

"Yeah well we had to." Gwen replies as she types on her computer.

"Hey did you decorate in here?" He adds looking around.

Gwen walks over to him and pushes him hard, causing him to go backwards into the door. "You left us Jack!" As everyone gathers around to watch and listen.

Jack sighs, "I know, I'm sorry."

"We knew nothing Jack!" Gwen replies anger clear in her voice.

"Where were you?" Tosh asks with her arms folded over her chest.

Jack smiles slightly. "I found my doctor."

"Did he fix you?" Owen wonders.

"What's to fix? You don't mess with this level of perfection." Jack responds with a small laugh.

"Aare you going back to him?" Ianto adds.

Jack looks at him, "I came back for you…" He looks around at them all then adds. "All of you." At that point, the rift activity predictor machine beeps.

"Rift activity." Tosh exclaims and walks back over to her computer.

Arriving at the scene of where the rift spiked, they find a dead body of a man. Doing what they need to do and heading back to the SUV within 10 minutes. Back at the black SUV, Jack's wrist strap beeps.

"Whoa that never beeps…" Ianto says to Jack.

"That's what I was thinking." Jack replies looking a bit worried, but opening it and pressing a button on it anyway bringing up a hologram.

"I can't believe I got the answering machine. What could you be doing that's more important than me?" The man says. "Anyway… you probably traced the energy shift, found the body. All me; sorry about the mess. Bill me for the clean-up." Ianto and Owen share a look. "Now drinks…" He adds and tells Jack where to find him before adding. "Hurry up, work to do. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Then the hologram shuts off.

"What was that?" Gwen demands.

Jack looks worried, "Stay here. Don't come after me." He demands and turns to get into the driver's seat of the SUV as the rest of the team .

"What was that?" Gwen asks.

"Stay here." Was all Jack responds and gets in, closing the door behind him, starting the car up before driving off.

"Hey Jack… wait." Gwen replies moving slightly to try and follow him.

Owen waves his arms around annoyed. "Whoa! See? You see that? He swans back in then he shuts us right out straight away." As they all watch Jack disappear.

"I've noticed…" Gwen mumbles

"I can track him?" Tosh pipes up holding up her hand held computer.

Ianto whistles loudly behind them heading towards a little side road, "Taxi!".

Once in the taxi, Tosh speaks again, "Reports coming in of a bar disturbance, same co ordinates as the SUV…"

Gwen cuts in. "Tell the police we are dealing with it."

"Ok so who the hell was that bloke in the hologram?" Owen asks out loud still annoyed.

"Looked like Jack recognized him." Ianto replies looking at him.

"Why didn't he let us go with him?" Toshiko asks, glancing at her handheld computer again.

"Because it's typical Jack isn't he? He disappears, he comes back then he runs away again. Shuts us out, we don't even know his real name…" Gwen adds.

"Or which time he comes from." Toshiko adds.

"Exactly, he's supposed to be our boss and we know nothing about him. Drives me crazy." Gwen exclaims looking around.

Owen looks silently out the back window, 'Why did he come back now of all times? He better not try and get Ianto back.' He thinks to himself.

Ianto must have seen something on his face and he looks at Gwen, who is sitting between Owen and Tosh, "Gwen switch places." He gets up and slides in to where Gwen was after she is up, she takes the seat opposite them where Ianto was sitting with an annoyed look on her face. Ianto looks at Owen, "You alright?" He asks quietly.

Owen looks back at him and slowly nods. "Talk later." He says back quietly.
