Toshiko rushed into Jack's office, a sheet of A4 paper in her hand.

'Five Ianto's Jones born in Cardiff that year.'

'Five!' Jack exclaimed.

'One dead, one living in London, one in Blackpool and two here in Cardiff.'

'So, praying that he's not the deceased we have four address to check out.'

Toshiko handed him the sheet of paper, containing the addresses and occupations.

'Anything else I can help with?' Tosh asked curiously.

'No, thank you Tosh.'

'Anytime.' She smiled as she went back to her workstation.

'I say we start with the two local ones and hope we get lucky.' The Doctor suggested.

'One is an accountant the other a teacher, I can't see Ianto in either of those jobs.'

'Should we go to their places of residence or wait till the morning and visit them at work?'

'Work, less intimidating.'

'We'll start first thing in the morning then.' The Doctor told him, trying to sound optimistic.

'I think I need some time alone tonight Doctor, do you mind?'

'Not at all, I'll be back in the morning.'

The Doctor made to leave, Jack stopped him and hugged him tightly.

'I'm sorry.' Jack told him.

'Not your fault, I shouldn't have agreed to the trip.'

'I should have known what he was going to do, stopped him.'

'It's happened Jack, no use fretting over it. We will fix it.'

'Thank you.'

'See you in the morning Jack.

The Doctor left, taking Donna with him as Jack watched then he told the rest of the team they should go home over their comms. Jack climbed down the ladder into the room under his office and found Heather sitting on his bed, under the covers but obviously naked beneath.
