'Jones and Son' the tailors was in one of the quieter parts of the city, in the back streets away from the main city centre where it had been ever since it had been first opened by Ianto's great great great grandfather over a century before hand.
Reaching the small shop Jack hesitated, his hand hovering over the door handle before shoving it back in his pocket as Gwen gave him an amused look, she would never had thought this man stood before her would have been so nervous.
“Are you going in or not?” Gwen asked him.
“Maybe I should just wait for him to come out, then see how I feel.”
Gwen rolled her eyes making Jack chuckle.
“What?” She asked.
“Nothing.” Jack glanced around and spotted a bar with tables outside on the other side of the street. “Lets go and get a drink.”
Gwen told Jack to sit at one of the tables while she got the drinks in case Ianto made an appearance while she was in the pub, she got him his pint of water without question but with a quizzical look on her face that he never noticed.
She placed the glass in front of him and sat down beside him. “Water?” She asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
“Don't drink much these day, been there, done that.” Jack shrugged as she sipped her lager.
“So, any idea what your going to say to him?”
“Not sure I am, depends ...” Jack trailed off.
“Depends on what?”
“Well, if I talk to him there's a good chance I'll feel attracted to him and if he doesn't feel the same way then, well ... but if he does I can't let it go anywhere or when I find a way to get home I'm going to hurt someone I shouldn't even have got ... involved with.”
“You're a complicated man Jack.” Gwen grinned. “Okay, for now we just watch.”
Jack grinned and took a large gulp of his water, almost spluttering it as he watched the door of the tailors and a young looking Ianto walk out. His build was the same as 'his' Ianto but there the similarities ended.
His hair was longer, curls hanging over his forehead with a look of rebellion that went with his clothing. Ianto was dressed completely in black from head to to, from the black t shirt emblazoned with the name of a retro band to the tight black jeans and black trainers.
Jack stared at him from across the road, he couldn't help it. He had never seen Ianto looking anything like that and it was doing unspeakable things to his body, things that made him want to get out of his seat and run across the road and kiss him senseless.
But that thought was shoved quickly out of his mind as he realised the dark skinned girl running up the road in heels was running towards Ianto, she flung herself in his arms and he swung her round in a circle as he kissed her deeply before lowering her to the ground again.
“Lisa.” Jack whispered, more to himself than Gwen.

Gwen pulled a pair of handcuffs from her pocket, pulling the Blowfish's arms behind him and cuffing them together tightly.
“Okay, you're coming with us.” Ianto told it. “Move.”
The three of them left the building and grateful again for the cover if darkness walked to where they had left the SUV, Gwen sat in the back with their prisoner and he gun trained on it as Ianto drove them back to the hub.
They took the Blowfish straight down to the cells, locked him in the one next to Janet and then just left him there to stew without saying a word to him as they did so. Gwen turned on the monitor at her workstation bringing up the CCTV feed for the cells as Ianto made them coffee.
“Think he's going to tell us anything?” Gwen ask as she took her mug from Ianto.
“He better, maybe some time alone with Janet will help his decision.” Ianto told her. “Along with no food or water for a day or two.”
“You'd really do that? Starve it?” Gwen looked a little shocked.
“Yep, I want Jack back and he WILL tell us how to do it.” Ianto told her, his determination on his face.
“You really do love him, don't you?” Gwen asked quietly, resting a hand on his arm.
Ianto turned and looked at her. “Yes.”
“Does Jack know?”
“We've never talked about it.”
“Do you think Jack loves you?”
“Yes.” Ianto replied, giving her a small smile.
“Ever thought it might be a good idea to tell each other?” Gwen grinned.
“Hey, we're men, why would we do something like talk about our feelings?”
“Men!” Gwen groaned and slapped Ianto's arm playfully before serious.
“You know you really should tell him Ianto, I mean in our job anything could happen.”
“You mean I could die tomorrow?” Ianto replied.
“Yes, sorry to be blunt but surely you'd like Jack to know exactly how you feel about him if the unthinkable happened?”
Ianto nodded slowly. “You're right, I know you are ...”
“Then promise me, you will initiate a talk about your feelings, both of your feelings when we get Jack back.”
“Promise.” Ianto smiled.
“I'll hold you to that, if you don't do it I will lock you both in a cell and leave you there till you can admit what you mean to each other!”
“I'll do it, I'll do it.” Ianto told her, holding his hands up in mock fear.

“Lisa?” Gwen asked in hushed tones, watching as Ianto and the young woman walked down the road away from them.
“She's dead, in my world that is, she died.” Jack's voice hitched a little with emotion.
“She's so young, how?”
“In the worse possible way.” Jack replied as he got to his feet, Gwen following as they followed the couple down the road.
“He's cute, young too.” Gwen stated.
“He is, compared to me if that's what your implying.” Jack stopped and turned to her. “But only in years.”
“Your job, it's dangerous isn't it?” Gwen asked as they started walking again.
“Very.”
“One of you could die and lose the other, have you told him how you feel, that you love him?”
“No, it's not something we've ever talked about.”
“Does he love you?”
“I think so, yes.”
“Then tell him, when you get back to your Ianto, tell him.”
“I will.” Jack told her and realised he meant it.
“Quick, we're losing them.” Gwen told him as Ianto and Lisa vanished around a corner.
They picked up their pace, rounding the corner they found they had vanished from sight.
“They can't have gone far.” Gwen said, pulling Jack's arm to follow her down the road.
“Maybe I should just forget this, leave him be.”
“If that's what ... Jack?”
Jack was staring at an abandoned shop door way a couple of yards in front of them where Ianto and Lisa were engrossed in what appeared to to a very heated snog, his look a mixture of sadness and hurt even thought it wasn't 'his' lover kissing the young woman.
