Chapter three
London, twelve hours before the gun shot on the roof
The feeling doesn’t leave him alone. It’s a cold hand pressing heavily on his neck, like a storm building slowly inside him. He knows something really bad is just waiting to happen, but he doesn’t know how or even where. The meeting doesn’t seem to even have an end. He has to listen; he has to convince himself that it is imperative for him to be there. The Prime Minister talks about the world, the dangers, the security; of course all that is important. But, the feeling doesn’t want to leave him alone. He knows something really bad is going to happen and this certainty is driving Jack Harkness crazy.
Four hours after Gwen and Owen found Toshiko bleeding
He feels so light, the butterflies may have left him alone, but it doesn’t matter now, he’s a butterfly himself. He looks at his wings; they are so beautiful, every sensation and feeling amplified. All he can smell is this delicate fragrance that surrounds him, the lights of the street lamps are so brilliant that they almost hurt his eyes, the conversations and the laughing from the people around him sound like music to his ears, the soft wind on his skin is like Jack’s touch. Jack…. Thinking of Jack makes Ianto smile. Suddenly the desire to be with him is unbearable; like he has to speak to him at the very least. He searches for his phone, but he remembers that it is still at the Hub. He has the urge to fly straight to a public phone. Jack…
“Jack Harkness speaking.”
“Jack….. Sir… it’s so beautiful…”
“Ianto? What’s wrong? Where are you?”
“Jack…. It’s amazing how free I feel… your voice sounds fabulous… speak to me sir…”
“Ianto, what’s happening? Where are you? Where are the others?”
“The butterflies were everywhere… Tosh… Tosh was screaming, but I don’t know why… Jack, I’m gonna fly… I’m so proud of myself…”
“Ianto, please, listen to me! Stay where you are, I’m on my way. Don’t do anything stupid. Ianto?....”
But nobody answers him, Ianto is gone, he didn’t hear Jack’s last words. He saw the fountain and he definitively wanted to touch it.
Three hours before Jack returns
Owen wraps bandages around Tosh’s wounds. He doesn’t understand, what’s happened and why she’s alone. Where’s the tea boy? He doesn’t like the situation, something very bad has happened and he can’t understand what. He looks over to Gwen; who seems to be distracted by something. She always looks around her like she expects to see someone or something appear right in front of her. But just as he wants to ask her what’s wrong Tosh grabs his wrist.
“Owen… its Ianto’s fault… he poisoned us…”
“What? Tosh…what did you say?”
“He did this to me…. Owen, Ianto wants to kill us…”
“That fucking tea boy… I will make him pay for this…. I gonna kill him…”
Right then and there in the Hub, Owen talks to an unconscious Tosh whilst Gwen looks nervously around her, seeing shadows and hearing sounds that never existed.
Three hours before the gun shot on the roof
Jack found Toshiko in the medical bay two hours ago. She was pale, her heart beat was painfully slow, but she was alive. He gave her sedative and left her. She was safe for now. He hates himself for not being more aware of all of those bad feeling that he had. He knew something bad had happened. Ianto’s call had just confirmed it. Ianto, he had sounded so strange, he was not himself. He didn’t hesitate, leaving the meeting immediately. The safety of the world was right now in danger, he had no time anymore for anymore theories. The journey had seemed like the worst trip of his life. If I’m too late… He thought with fear squeezing round his throat. When he entered the Hub he knew that the worst had happened. He saw the glass sphere and his heart beat stopped for a brief moment. No, not again…. He knew what that thing was, what damage it could do. He had seen this before, on another planet, with other people’s lives. But, the results are the same: the madness that takes its victims to the edge and in the end causes their hearts to give out. The only chance he has now is to convince his team that none of it is real. But if it’s too late....He doesn’t want to think about that, he wants to believe that it all is going to be all right. He takes the sphere and he puts it into his pocket. It can have no influence on him, having had all that time agent’s training has some advantages at the very least. He hears a gun shot somewhere in the basement. He runs, his team is in trouble and somehow he will save them all. It’s not too late…. They have to hang on, I’m here now…
On the roof
The hands are covered in blood. Jack tries to take Ianto’s hand more firmly, but it’s slippery and the pain in his shoulder is starting to burn. Suddenly, it’s all like a movie in slow motion, he feels Ianto’s hand slip away and he can do nothing to stop it. He wants to scream but the horror of the situation paralyzes his voice. Through space he watches as his young team member falls further and further.
