Ianto could feel Jack's eyes burning into the back of his head as he clean up the hub. He knew it wasn't over yet, no matter how much he tried to act as normal. Gwen was up in Jack's office too, he wondered what they were saying, he knew they were talking about him. He didn't trust Gwen around Jack, she made it so obvious that she fancied him.

*

Jack told Gwen to go home and leave him alone, he could do without her lectures this evening. But she had planted the thought in his mind, could he really have shot Ianto? No, was the straight answer, he couldn't, but he needed to decide what to do with him. More questions flooded his mind. Was Ianto sleeping with him just to gain his trust, to cloud his judgement? Or was it something that just happened? He didn't know the answer to them.

*

Ianto heard Jack walking down the stairs towards him. His body tensed as he continued picking up the litter and adding it to the black rubbish sack in his hand. He was terrified Jack was going to sack him, Retcon him. He was sure he wouldn't still have a job by the morning.

'Ianto.' Jack spoke.

Ianto froze for a moment before turning to face Jack, his eyes still red rimmed from his earlier crying.

'Sir?'

'Go home.' Jack's voice was steady but tinged with the anger he was feeling.

'Am I going to wake up in the morning thinking I'm an accountant?' Ianto whispered.

'No. I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, at the moment I'm still thinking I should have shot you.'

'Maybe you should have.'

'Just go, NOW!' Jack yelled at him and stormed off back to his office.

Ianto carried the rubbish bag through the hub and left it by the coffee machine, he collected his coat and car keys and left via the tourist office exit. He stopped at the nearest off licence and bought a large bottle of brandy before heading home.

*

Jack was pacing his office, he should Retcon him. He had put them all in danger, he didn't deserve to work there anymore. If he was capable of keeping something like that a secret from him, what else could he be capable of? Thoughts of the nights they had spent together kept trying to seep into his mind, confusing his thoughts. No, he couldn't let his feelings, yes, feelings for Ianto cloud his judgement over his betrail.

*

Ianto's shoes lay where he had kicked them off, his jacket and tie strewn across the back of the sofa. He was already rather drunk, actually well on his way to being completely pissed. He had given up on using a glass for the brandy long before and was swigging it straight out of the bottle. Tears rolled down his face, he didn't know if he was crying for Lisa or himself.

*

No, this couldn't wait till the morning, he had to have it out with Ianto now. Jack grabbed his coat and headed out the hub. He climbed into the SUV and slammed the door closed. He drove at full pelt to Ianto's flat. Screeching to a halt he rushed up the stairs to the door and knocked hard, a little surprised when it swung open on it's own.

Jack strode into the flat, finding Ianto sitting on the floor, his back against the bottom of the sofa, less than a quarter of a bottle of brandy in his hand, taking a swig. Ianto turned his head in his direction as he heard his footsteps.

'Fuck off Jack.'

'Not the best way to start a conversation.' Jack was trying his best to keep his voice calmer than he felt.

'I hate you. You killed her, you killed Lisa.'

'I, we had to, she would have killed us.'

'You could have tried to save her.' Ianto voice getting more and more hoarse with anger.

'No Ianto, it was too late.'

'Just fuck off and leave me alone.' Ianto yelled as he rose unsteadily from the floor and took a drunken swing at Jack, he missed and landed on the sofa.

'There are some things I need to know first.'

'Just fire me and be done with it.'

Jack's resolve to remain calm was starting to falter.

'Turns out you're a sneaky little bastard Ianto. Who would have guessed.' He growled.

'Needs must .... Sir.' He spat out.

'So, was shagging me all part of the plan?'

'I was desperate.' He smirked.

There was something in Ianto's eyes as he said it that made Jack think he was lying.

'Yeah? You sure about that? Jack shouted.

'Why else would I let you fuck me? A man, a slut by all accounts.'

'How dare YOU judge me!'

Ianto pushed himself off the sofa and managed to steady himself, Jack never saw the first punch coming. It hit him straight in the eye, closely followed by a second to his nose. As Jack stumbled backwards he grabbed Ianto, pulling him down with him. Ianto got another punch in before Jack managed to roll Ianto beneath him and pin his arms to the ground with one hand.

Jack sat straddling Ianto's chest as Ianto tried to wrestle his arms free, his free hand went to Ianto's throat.

'Go on, do it.' Ianto goaded him.

Jack exerted a little more pressure on his neck, he could feel Ianto starting to struggle for breath.

'You can't do it can you?' Ianto gasped.

The look of absolute venom tinged with sadness in Ianto's eyes was killing him. He could actually see Ianto's point of view, that he would have done anything to save the person he loved given the chance. It didn't excuse what he had done, but there was no way he could kill him.

He let go of Ianto and stood up, Ianto just lay where he was looking at him.

'Two weeks.' Jack told him. 'I don't want to see you for two weeks, then you report for duty and we'll see how it goes.'

Jack didn't wait for an answer, he just walked from the room and the flat and headed back to the hub.

*

Ianto picked himself up off the floor and fell back onto the sofa. He picked the brandy bottle up from the floor where it had fallen, most of it had spilt onto the rug. He looked at it briefly before he threw it, it smashed against the wall.

'Shit.' He muttered to himself.

Something else to the list of things he was going to regret in the morning. He dragged himself back up from the sofa and staggered to the bedroom, climbing on top of the covers still dressed. He wondered how he still had a job, and if would actually be able to return to it.

Surely there was no way things could ever be the same between him and Jack again. His last thought before he passed out was why that bothered him so much.

The End.

We've watched it twice now :)

[bandgeek01.livejournal.com]

Incredibly jealous. I've got two hours till it burns to a DVD so I can watch the episode with my family, hahaha. (My parents frown upon standing for an hour and staring at a computer screen).

So trying to stay away from everything is becoming harder and harder, lol.

So I'm just writing my horizonssing fic for day 5.

I am feeling a strong urge to write a missing scene for the ending of DW .... not going to say anything that could be spoilers in this comment though.

[bandgeek01.livejournal.com]

I encourage you to write it :-)

Nicole

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

I will at some point, maybe tomorrow if i have time ... actually later today, lol!

[bandgeek01.livejournal.com]

For a moment I was confused then I realized that you live in the UK and that is why it is already Sunday for you. :-D

I've got two hours till it's Sunday.

[teachwriteslash.livejournal.com]

Oh that one hurt. Shouldn't you be in bed?

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

I hate writing anger, it took me a long time to get it out.

Yup, it's 2.15 am ... hubby is sparko, the dog is sparko and my daughter is playing against someone on her Wii in Austraila!

I got abandoned, so i wrote :)

Thanks :)

Post Cyberwoman fic always make me a bit sad. I'm really enjoying this series!

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Oh wow, an angry Ianto and an angry Jack - neither good to be around. Really well done. Um...hopefully there will be more?

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Yes, i think there will be more.

[caseykc44.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. Very painful but very wonderful, too. You have to write more. You've got to get them back together.
Thanks for a wonderful story.

Oooooo wow that was so intense and cool! Love drunk Ianto...

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[becky-da-wolf.livejournal.com]

Wow! Amazing. I love how he denies everything just to hurt Jack. That makes me sound twisted. Never mind.

If the bunnies bite, will we see what does happen in two weeks time?

Btw, I think you've got an error in this sentence: Ianto's shoes lay where he had kicked them off, his Jack and tie strewn across the back of the sofa.

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

The bunny bit, the next part Absolution is posted.

Thanks, i meant to correct that argh!

[becky-da-wolf.livejournal.com]
