Finally another two days later Damien got a break through with what was killing people and cocooning them. He stared at the computer monitor for a few moments a little unable to believe he had actually found something that seemed to match before calling Jack over the comm.
“Damien?” Jack answered from down in the archives, where his arms were currently wrapped around Ianto's waist distracting him from his work.
“I've found it, the alien. Nasty looking big bug thing like we suspected.”
“On my way.” Jack replied before cutting the comm and adding to Ianto. “Lets go see what nasty is killing the residents of Cardiff.”
“And there was me enjoying be groped while I tried to do the filing.” Ianto grinned as Jack released him from his arms and took his hand as they walked out the archives.
“Makes it more fun, admit it.” Jack grinned.
“But takes a hundred times longer!” Ianto replied, rolling his eyes but grinning back.
They met Damien at his workstation. Gwen, Chloe and Teyla were out getting lunch.
“Chloe was right then, it's about six foot tall.” Ianto said looking at the picture of the alien on the screen.
“Ugly little bugger.” Jack added. “Okay, what is it?”
“It's called a 'Spra'ken', as we know it wraps it's victims in a cocoon and add that black goo which dissolves the internal organ's which they then suck suck through a tube like appendage in their mouths after ripping open the cocoon then the black goo dissolves everything that's left.”
“That is disgusting!” Ianto exclaimed, not missing that Jack was looking a little green around the gills at the thought.
“Well at least it shouldn't be hard to find a six foot tall bug.” Jack said, looking closer at the picture on the screen.
The bug looked like a cross between a huge bee and a cockroach, it's main body was black but it's legs were yellow and black striped and it's huge eyes were also yellow but it didn't appear to have a stinger.
“Is it dangerous, other than the obvious?” Ianto asked.
“According to this it has a paralysing sting in the same appendage in it's mouth that it uses to feed, other than that no. But it won't be as easy to find as we might like to think, it's a shape shifter.” Damien informed them.
“Fuck!” Ianto exclaimed.
“Not seen a shape shifter since Gwen got pregnant with that alien egg at her wedding.” Jack muttered. “Damn, that'll hinder things a little.”
“I've been thinking, I reckon it's luring people to it's lair so maybe it's changing into human form to attract them and then taking them 'home' for whatever reason ...”
“Sex?” Jack suggested.
“Probably, and then it turns back into bug thing and turns them into dinner.” Damien finished.
“Okay, we'll go with that theory as it's a good one to go with and the only one we have!” Jack exclaimed. “Chloe has the DNA of all the victims so we need to search the data bases for missing persons over the last month and find out their last known movements.”
“See if there's any connection, if they all frequent the same places and then go from there.” Ianto added.
“Correct.” Jack told him. “Brilliant deduction Sherlock.” He told Damien, slapping him on the shoulder as the cog door opened setting the alarms off as they other three walked in.
“What's up?” Gwen asked seeing the smiles on their faces.
“Break through on the cocoon case.” Jack replied. “Chloe, we need all the DNA details of the victims, Gwen I need you to help Damien go through the police data bases for missing persons over the last month or so and see if we can tally them together.”
“Can I help Chloe?” Teyla asked.
“Of course.” Jack told her. “Okay, lunch first, I'm starving.”
After handing out the various lunches Jack took his up to his office with Ianto and mugs of fresh coffee, making themselves comfortable on the sofa in his office while they ate.
“It's almost a week now since Teyla arrived Jack, we need to make the decision to tell Claire and the twins about them.” Ianto told him.
“I know.” Jack sighed. “I'm still not convinced we can trust her, but yes we have to do it and then just hope for the best.”
“Tonight, as long as nothing else comes up.”
“Tonight.” Jack agreed reluctantly. “But I'm still not ready to tell her about my immortality or the baby yet.”
“One step at a time.”
“How do you think the kids will react to finding out they have a big sister?”
“I suspect Eloise will love the idea and Caden will ask if he can have a big brother instead, considering he wants the baby to be a boy.” Ianto chuckled. “Hey, you're about eleven weeks now, you should start showing soon.”
Jack lifted Ianto's hand and placed it on his stomach. “Anything?”
“Too much fabric in the way.” Ianto replied, rubbing his belly through the layers of fabric.
Jack began to unbuckle his belt.
“We can wait till later.” Ianto protested weakly.
“No one will see.” Jack told him, opening the button and zip of his trousers.
“Fine.” Ianto said grinning, his hand moving between the layers of shirt, t shirt and trousers and pressing it against Jack's belly. “Not sure, maybe.”
Jack slid his hand beneath Ianto, his fingers probing his belly and then he smiled. “Yep, there.” His hand moved on top of Ianto's placed it on the spot, Ianto's fingers presses gently and his grin surpassed Jack's. “It's there, very tiny but it's there!”
“I suspect my tummy will be getting lots more attention from now on.” Jack said, cocking an eyebrow.
“Yep.” Ianto replied, kissing his softly as his hand swept back and forth over the bump. “The kids will be so excited.” He added.
“Lots to tell them this evening then, will have to make sure they know not to mention this to Teyla.”
“They're good kids, they'll keep it to themselves if we tell them to.”
“Lets just hope their sister is as well behaved.” Jack added, his apprehension about Teyla meeting the kids more than a little apparent in his tone of voice.
“It'll be okay, you'll see.” Ianto told him reassuringly as Jack fastened his trousers again.
“Yeah, maybe.” Jack replied. “Come on, lets go and see if Chloe has the DNA matched to anyone yet.
“Good idea.” Ianto told him, knowing he needed something distract himself from the evening to come for a while.
