A/N This chapter is dedicated to r2d2antics for sending my first xmas pressie of the year, thanks Paul :)
Once Jack had got the twins bathed and ready for bed, with the help of Claire he asked her to join him for a cup of coffee which Ianto had left brewing when he left to go to see Rhys. He had decided that tonight was the night he filled Claire in on what they actually did and it would help distract him mind from what Ianto was telling Rhys.
Jack smiled to himself as Claire sank into the armchair and raised the mug to her nose, inhaling in the rich aroma of the coffee before taking a sip and letting out a small sigh of pleasure at the taste causing Jack to chuckle softly.
“It's good coffee.” Claire shrugged, not in the least bit embarrassed.
“One of the reason's I hired him. Look Claire, I think I owe you the truth about what Ianto and I do for a living.”
“You work for Torchwood, I know that much from when you were taken and I called that number you gave me in case of emergency.”
“What do you know about Torchwood?”
“Only what the rumours tell, that you catch aliens. Do you really? Catch aliens that is?” Claire's face brightened with excitement.
“What I'm about to tell you is highly confidential and I'm trusting you to keep this to yourself, I can trust you can't I?”
Claire nodded, her face now serious. “Of course.”
“Cardiff is situated on a rift in time and space, now and them things come through the rift and get dumped here.”
“Like aliens?”
Jack grinned. “Yes, aliens, some harmless, some very dangerous. Other stuff too, technical stuff from the future ... and even things from the past too.” Jack added thinking of Myfanwy.
“And you deal with them?”
“Along with my team, yes. We do what we can to convince them to leave, but sometimes we have to take more drastic measures.”
“You kill them?” Claire's eyes were open wide.
“As a last resort, yes.”
“But only of they are a threat?”
“Yeah, we're not vigilantes.”
“You said you and your team, so you're the boss?”
“I'm in charge, with four other people in my team, including Ianto.”
Claire smiled. “So did you know Ianto before you employed him or did you seduce him once he was in your employ?”
Jack laughed loudly, even though he was nothing like he used to be he still couldn't help but flirt with people and Claire had witnessed it and been on the receiving end a few times, albeit in jest and he could understand why she would think like that.
“Actually it was Ianto who flirted with me to get the job.”
“Ianto flirted with you? I'm not sure I believe that.” She raised an eyebrow at him, making him laugh again.
“Honest truth, you can ask him. Believe me, he knows how to get what he wants.”
“So, okay, you work for Torchwood catching aliens, why were you ... kidnapped?”
“Well, that's going to be a little more difficult for you to come to terms with, what I'm going to tell you now is even more confidential than us working for Torchwood, which is apparently an secret organisation that everyone in Cardiff has heard of. If you tell anyone, and that includes your boyfriend you and anyone else who finds out will find themselves reliving their childhood.”
“If you trust me enough to tell me, then I can promise I won't do anything to betray that trust.” She told him sincerely.
“We were taken by a madman who discovered something about me, he had no proof and was determined to get some. We were kidnapped, had tests performed on us and ...” Jack paused for a moment and took a deep breath. “Tortured because this man found out I had carried the twins and had given birth to them.”
“But ....” Was all Claire managed to utter in astonishment and disbelief.
