Spoiler alert: End of days

By morning Jack was more than uneasy. Spikes were everywhere but there were no sign of alien activity, he had a bad feeling about this. During the night he received various calls asking him about some events that were happening on the other side of the Earth from Cardiff. They called him when anything happened: when planes disappeared or when strange murders occur. He was used to that, but there were three calls too many and they didn't offer much information. Ianto startled him when he brought his morning coffee.

"We are jumpy this morning, sir" said Ianto with slight amusement in his voice, Jack gave him a serious look; he wasn't in the mood for jokes. "Ok then" Ianto withdrew and Jack regretted his behaviour.

"Did you sleep at all last night?" Jack spoke up when Ianto was at the door.

"Oh" Ianto smiled at some private joke "quite nicely in the end, thank you. Some things we just have to accept. Fighting them would only be in vain."

"Good point, but I hope that won't make a pacifist out of you, I don't need another preacher while handling threats of all sorts."

"We'll see" smiled Ianto "I'll have the proposal for Flat Holm by noon on your desk. I'll try to put figures on paper so you can decide if it is acceptable."

"I won't have time today, the Rift is acting like crazy, here take this and deal with it, I trust your judgment." Jack said offering him a page containing account information.

"But that's your account clearance" Ianto looked shocked.

"Yeah, yeah, just don't go crazy and buy small country; everything else should be covered. I need Tosh to scan Rift activity when she gets in we're having weird spikes but nothing seems to be happening"

"Maybe it has something to do with the news about end of the world." Ianto said with his flat expression.

"What news?" Jack jumped from his seat ready for action but there wasn't anywhere to run.

"It's on the television all morning" Ianto looked around and down to his manhole "but of course you don't watch TV, do you." Ianto looked at three computer screens that had no TV signal.

"I had a bad TV show experience" growled Jack "are you going to tell me or I have to find out for myself?"

Ianto shook his head.

"I'll just show you" He approached Jack's computer. Jack sat down and Ianto leaned forward looking online for the world news on BBC. Jack was distracted for a moment by fresh smell of Ianto's aftershave, he looked at young man's profile and freshly shaved chin. He thought for a moment to reach out and touch him, would he back away or not? But then woman on the screen started to describe incidents that were happening all around the world for last two days but no one had connected them till now. Jack forgot all other thoughts while the alarms in his head went off.

"Call Tosh, I'll call Gwen Tell Tosh to drag Owen out of bed, staff meeting in half an hour."
