A/N Apparently teachwriteslash just asking if there would be more fic soon was enough to give the bunnies a kick up the bum ...
“So, we just move along the coast hoping we notice something out of place?” Ianto asked Chloe as they moved on foot as close to the coastline as they could.
“Yes, other than the fact that was where they were headed I have no idea about how far they went.” Chloe replied, feeling a little guilty that she hadn't contacted Jack and Ianto sooner.
“It's okay Chloe, we'll find him.” Ianto replied. “Don't beat yourself up over it, Damien will be fine.”
“How do you know that? It could have him, inside one of those cocoons as we speak.” Chloe replied, panic rising in her voice.
“Panicking won't help Chloe, lets just do our job.” Ianto told her firmly.
“Don't let her fall apart.” Jack's voice came through Ianto's comm on their private channel.
Ianto knew he didn't need to answer him, Jack would know he had heard and wouldn't want to reply when she could hear it.
“I'm not panicking.” Chloe lied, striding ahead and Ianto had to run a few steps to catch her up.
“I'm guessing it's residing in an empty or abandoned property, this far away from the docks I'm guessing it's a house.” Ianto suggested.
“Somewhere with a boathouse maybe, easier to get the body into the current if they have the means to drop the cocoon further out.” Chloe replied.
“Good call.” Jack told them both over the open channel. “I'm going to search the property records on-line, see if anything is empty and up for sale or rent along the coast.”
“Thanks Jack.” Ianto replied, knowing he couldn't do himself any harm by sitting at the computer.
“Keep searching, I'll get back to you if I find anything before you do.” Jack replied.
“Is he driving you mad yet?” Chloe asked.
“A little, he's fed up with being stuck indoors all the time.” Ianto sighed.
“Not easy for anyone.” Chloe agreed. “But worse for Jack, he's used to being in the forefront of everything.”
“Hey, I can hear every word!” Jack exclaimed down the comms.
“Sorry Jack.” Chloe giggled.
“Forget it, it's true.” Jack admitted. “Shame this baby is now growing at a normal rate again, I could do with it being born early.”
“If all goes to plan maybe I can deliver at thirty eight weeks, that's within acceptable guidelines.” Chloe told him.
“That's two weeks knocked off the due date, I can live with that.” Jack replied before his tone changed and he added. “I think I've found something, what's your current location?”
“About a mile up the coast.” Ianto responded. “Properties very few and far between, nothing suspicious looking yet.”
“If I'm right you need to go another mile or so, there's a huge detached house up there.” Jack told them. “It's been empty for nearly a year and each time someone has arranged to view it they've left without seeing inside, reporting a strange and revolting smell omitting from it.”
“Didn't anyone investigate?” Chloe asked.
“Apparently two people so far have visited the house to try and find out where the smell is coming from.” Jack replied.
“And their reports?” Ianto asked.
“They were never seen again, the first was about three months ago and the second about four weeks later, the estate agents still have it listed but the price is ridiculously low.” Jack informed them. “Seems they can't find anyone will to enter the house, it's believed to be haunted.”
“Haunted?” Ianto scoffed.
“People will believe what they want to, you should know that by now.” Jack chuckled.
“Then we need to get moving.” Chloe stated. “If Damien is in there ...”
“Agreed, be careful and keep me informed.” Jack instructed.
“If it's got it's hands on Damien death won't be good enough for it.” Chloe growled as they upped their pace, seeing a lone house on the far horizon and guessing it was the one.
They were about half a mile from the house when Chloe spotted something lying on the ground, as they got closer they realised it was human, once they were within feet they realised it was Damien.
Chloe ran over to his inert body and pressed her fingers to his neck, letting out a small sigh when she felt the pulse beneath his skin.
“He's alive.” She told Ianto as she carefully examined him. “Breathing is okay, looks like he's hit his head and knocked himself unconscious.”
Chloe carefully parted his blood matted hair and examined his scalp.
“From what I can tell it's not deep, he's cracked his skull but the bleeding stopped pretty fast by the looks of it.”
“He'll be okay?” Ianto asked.
“Yeah, he's freezing though, we have to get him out of here.” Chloe replied.
“I'll alert the ambulance service.” Jack told them. “Once it arrives let them do their job and you do yours.”
“Yes sir.” Ianto replied without thinking, something he still did now and then and then allowed himself a small smile at the though of what would be going through Jack's head now.
“Ianto.” Jack's voice came over the comms on the private channel. “I love it when you do that.”
“I know.” Ianto replied suppressing a huge grin as Chloe looked at him curiously.
“You know, we could ...”
“Later Jack!” Ianto scolded.
“Sure.” Jack replied, grinning widely.
“I can hear sirens.” Chloe said a few minutes later, shivering in the cold, her coat covering Damien.
“Good, they responded quickly.” Jack replied over the open channel.
They ambulance stopped on the main road the the paramedics ran over with the stretcher and a spinal board.
“What happened?” One of them asked.
“We just found him like this, I don't think he's done anything permanent but he needs to be checked over.” Chloe replied.
“And you are?” The second paramedic asked.
“Torchwood.” Ianto told them.
Ianto didn't miss the look the gave each other at the name but ignored it as they carefully moved onto the stretcher , knowing a snarky remark wouldn't help the situation.
“Take care of him.” Chloe called as they moved away towards the ambulance.
“Yes ma'am.” One called back.
Chloe slipped her coat back on and she and Ianto advanced once more towards the house, both of them drawing their guns and they got within a few yards of it, gagging as they got closer as the foul smell hit them.
