Ianto is back in the archives, up to section L. There has been a hit and run; Gwen recognized the name on the police scanner. She spent the better part of an hour convincing Jack that the accident might have something to do with an energy pattern Toshiko was watching yesterday. Ianto listens to them bicker, barely hiding his amusement. But Jack finally gave in when he realized that she would never let it go. So, instead of fighting, he suggested a doughnut run on the way. As he left, Jack shot Ianto a questioning look, silently asking if he would like to come along. Ianto responded in kind, begging off with a mock scowl, happy to avoid Owen’s complaints during the ride.

He looks toward the entrance, hearing boot falls coming closer.

“Owen and Gwen are driving me crazy, bickering like an old married couple. There’s nothing extraterrestrial about this that I can see. After spending a few hours with them, I am actually looking forward to paperwork.”

“Well, most of that is not particularly surprising.”

“So… I want you to go with them to the kid’s house. I figure it’s a fair trade, I gave you some solitude this morning, now I need a break from them.”

Shocked, Ianto gasps, drawing Jack’s attention back to his mouth. Staring at Ianto’s swollen lips, licking his own, Jack activates his comm,

“Ianto’s kindly reminded me of an urgent conference call, so I won’t be coming along I’m afraid. But he’ll be up in a minute to take my place.”

Ianto silently mouths ‘Bastard’, trying to glare at Jack, knowing that he is too lusty to pull it off.

“Fine! But tell tea-boy to hurry, and that I’m driving!”

“Fuck.”

“I promise that you’ll survive. He’s not that bad a driver, just a little fast.”

Sighing heavily, Ianto resigns himself to his fate.
