“Missing? What do you mean missing?” Jack asked, trying to keep his cool as he put his phone on loud speaker.
“The headmistress phoned, she told me that Eloise had been missed after their playtime. At first it was thought she was just hiding, playing some kind of game and the playground we searched and then the school but there was no sign of her, that's when they called here.” Chloe told them as she sobbed.
“What the fuck ... she is their responsibility while she is at school, how the hell can they not notice a child vanish.” Ianto shouted, making Claire sob harder.
“Ianto, it's not Claire's fault. Claire, he didn't mean to shout at you. Stay at home in case she's left school of her own accord for some reason, Ianto and I will go to the school.” Jack was desperately trying to keep control of his emotions.
Flipping his phone shut he added to Ianto. “They better have some good news when we arrive.”
Grabbing their coats and yelling to the others as they left that something had come up they ran from the hub, breaking all speed limits as the SUV raced through the street and screeching to a halt in the schools car park. Running through the school door they found the head teacher waiting somewhat nervously for them, their faces made her feel even worse.
“Come through.” She said quietly, indicating her office.
“Where the hell is our daughter?” Ianto growled as soon as she closed the door.
“We don't know, we are going through the CCTV tapes but we haven't found anything yet.”
“Have you called the police?” Jack asked.
“No, it states in your children's files that if anything happens you, or your partner should be called before anything else.”
“Good, whatever has happened we will find her.” Jack told her with determination.
“Where's Caden?” Ianto asked.
“With the school nurse, he got rather upset understandably.” She replied.
“We'd like to see him.” Jack told her.
“Follow me.”
She led them from the office and down a couple of corridors and to a door which stated it was the room of the school nurse, knocking first she opened the door and Jack and Ianto rushed past her at the sight of their little boy curled up on the small bed in the room crying his eyes out.
“Caden, daddy's here.” Jack said, scooping him into his arms and sitting down on the bed, Ianto beside him as they both held the distraught child.
“Daddy, dada, where's Eloise?”
“That's why were here bub, we're going to find her.”
“Did a nasty monster get her?” He asked, his eyes wide with fear.
“Shhhh.” Ianto tried to soothe him. “I bet she's fine, just playing a game.”
Jack and Ianto looked into each others eyes, words weren't needed to know they were both thinking the same thing. Someone or something had taken their child, then a horrible thought struck Jack.
“Do you think we could have five minutes alone?”
“Of course.” The headmistress replied and she and the nurse left the room.
Jack moved to the far side of the small room and dialled, his voice quiet but forceful as the call was answered.
“Martha, please tell me UNIT aren't after my family again?” He hissed.
“Jack, what's happened?” Martha asked, upset as his tone.
“Eloise is missing.” He told her bluntly.
“Jack, please believe me, UNIT have nothing to do with this. What happened?”
“She vanished from school, Martha it's only her second day.” Jack finally broke down, tears streaming down his face as he told her, watching Ianto crying silently as he held Caden.
There was a knock at the door and the head teacher opened it slowly. “You might want to see this.” She told them.
“Got to go Martha, sorry I jumped to that conclusion.” Jack told her, wiping the tears from his face.
“It's understandable Jack, look anything I can do to help you just call, okay?”
“Yeah, thanks.” Jack cut the call and he followed Ianto, who was carrying Caden out the room and followed the headmistress again to another room.
The room housed a small TV and a single chair, there was a man sat in the chair who looked like he must have been the caretaker, judging by the overalls he was wearing. The picture on the TV was frozen and showed the children playing in the playground, as Ianto held Caden tight with one arm his hand found Jacks and the head nodded to the man to start the video. The camera was obviously set to move back as forth across the playground, from one side to the other, as it reach the right hand side they could clearly see Eloise stood by the fence and a woman talking to her through it.
The woman was holding something in her hand but they couldn't see what and as she began to walk slowly along the edge of the fence Eloise followed her on the other side until the reached the locked, but low gate. Jack and Ianto watched horrified as Eloise raised her arms and the woman lifted her over the gate and took her hand, then they walked out of shot as the camera panned in the other direction again.
“What the hell just happened? How did someone entice our daughter away and no one see it happening?” Jack demanded.
The headmistress was as distressed at the two men glaring at her. “I don't know how this happened, there were teachers in the playground at the time. I can only apologise.”
“You can only apologise? Our daughter is kidnapped and that's all you can say?”
“Do you recognise the woman? Is she ... their mother?”
“They don't have a mother.” Jack seethed.
“But the woman, who gave birth to them, maybe ...”
Ianto cut her short. “There is no mother to come and kidnap them, it's impossible.”
“Oh.” She assumed the birth mother must be dead and dropped the subject. “I think we should call the police, try and identify this woman.”
“We can handle this, just give us a copy of the tape.” Jack told her.
“But the police have the resources that we have no chance of getting our hands on.”
“The tape, please and we would appreciate you keeping this quiet.” Ianto told her.
“I'm afraid it will be too late for that, all the kids know and the rest of their class has been sent home early as they were upset, their parents have already collected them.”
“Fuck.” Ianto muttered under his breath, praying Caden didn't hear him.
The man handed them a copy of the tape and they headed out the school, followed by the head telling them they would do anything to help.
“Just pray we get her back untouched and alive.” Jack growled, opening the door at the main entrance.
They weren't prepared for what awaited them, the local news were waiting for them and bombarding them with questions about their missing daughter. They rushed past ignoring them completely and got quickly into the SUV, Ianto in the back with Caden making sure he was strapped in. The camera crew took an even bigger interest in them now, as the SUV emblazoned with the words 'Torchwood' on the side shot out the school car park.
They took Caden home, where Claire finally calmed him down and he fell asleep exhausted while Jack and Ianto rushed back to the hub. The other three team members were horrified when they heard what had happened, they all waited nervously as they fed the images from the CCTV tape into the computer and then ran it through the police systems.

You're going to be evil anyway, because I KNOW it's going to take a while for them to find the poor baby. (And yes, that is a compliment!)
