On the way down to the street, Ianto took out his phone and hit the 'Last call I.D.' button. "Come on. Come on. Pick up!" After a few more rings, it was answered.
"Start explaining. And it BETTER be good."
"There...there are these 2 brothers," He stuttered. "that Lisa knows..."
Jack cut him off. "Lisa! Who the hell is Lisa?" He demanded.
"She is...er was my girlfriend. "
"And the brothers?"
"I...don't know them personally, but you supposedly killed their father." A long pause. "Jack! Are you still there?"
"Meet me by the Water Tower...And it's Sir to you." Jack turned his phone off.
"Fuck!" Whispered Ianto. He moved quickly to his car, got onside and drove towards the Bay.
His heart was beating out of his chest. He was sweating. His mouth was dry.
Had he lost Jack? He thought he had.
'Call me Sir!' Jack had told him. 'Shit! Shit! What have I done?' He thought to himself.
Driving down to the Bay, Ianto kept looking in his rear view mirror, making sure he wasn't being followed.
Jack waited by the water tower and dug his hands into his great coat pockets as he saw he young Welshman's car approach. Ianto got out and walked towards Jack.
"Get on." Jack told him.
Ianto stepped on the stone and it began to desend. "Can't they see us?" He asked.
"No." Was the short reply.
As the lift stopped at the bottom, Jack, said. "They think they see something out of the corner of their eye. But shrug it off." He moved to the stairs to his office, followed by Ianto. Jack close the door with a bang. "Don't bother sitting. This won't take long." Jack sat. "Was this your plan all along? To trick me?"
Ianto drew in a breath. "At the beginning, yes. But then I got to know you and I...My feelings for you changed. I...care about you. I think I'm falling in love with you."
Jack stood up, rounding the table to stand in front of the Welshman. "Love!"
Ianto frowned. "Yes, love."
Jack laughed. "Is this how you treat someone you love? Set them up to be...be...I don't know. Killed?"
Ianto shook his head. "I...I dont think they were going to take it that far."
Jack stood nose to nose with the younger man. "Are you sure about that" He returned to his chair. "Get out of my sight. I don't wanna see you again until the morning."
"Jack...Sir..."
"Go!"
Ianto shook his head in frustration. "I didn't have to tell you! I could have..."
"Just let it play out?" Interjected Jack. "Then why didn't you?"
Ianto sighed. "Because I love you!"
"Did you love her...this Lisa?"
"Yes."
"Get out of here. I can't stand to look at you right now."
The Welshman left the office, walked down the stairs and moved towards the cog door.
Jack watched from his office window, sighing heavily, then he sat down and turned on the CCTV monitor before him, as Ianto moved through to the lift, got in and rode it to the top floor. He watched as the younger man stepped thru the secret door to the Information Office and out onto the boardwalk. He stitched off the monitor after Ianto had walked up the Plas, got into his car and drove off.
