Jack sat in his office thinking about Mr Ianto Jones. He was definitely a local or from some part of Wales anyway. He smiled at the beautiful blue eyes he’d looked up into, and that voice, those gorgeous Welsh vowels. He could sit and listen to the man talk all day. He felt stirrings in his groin and found himself rubbing his hand over the start of an erection. Why did the man have this effect on him? He’d not felt like this for a long time. He needed to find out more about him. Calming his thoughts he turned to his computer and typed in IANTO JONES.
A few minutes later it flashed back that there were three matches to the name. Well that wouldn’t take much reading then would it?
He clicked on the first one, it read, Ianto Gareth Jones born 21st January 2001. Jack smiled, nope that was definitely not him. Ok two more to go. He clicked on the second, Ianto Jones born 6th September 1956. Nope not him either. Jack found he’d crossed his fingers. He never did that, he didn’t believe in it. He clicked on the third and final Ianto Jones. He closed his eyes, not knowing what to think if this wasn’t the right one. He opened them.
Ianto Jones
Born: August 19th 1983 (28years old)
Family: Mother living in Newport. Father passed away 2002. Sister Rhiannon, married with two children.
Criminal Record: Got caught stealing clothes from Top Shop in Newport when he was 15. Nothing since.
Career: Educated at Comprehensive School in Newport before going to study Directing at the Drama Centre in London where he graduated with First Class Honours in 2004. He’s since had major productions run in the West End. His latest - Romeo and Juliet - he is taking to Cardiff where he hopes it will run for several months at the Donald Gordon Theatre. It opens on 11th March.
Marital Status: Single for the last year after splitting with long time partner Lisa Hallett.
The only thing missing for him was an address. Well that didn’t matter Jack knew where to find him. He smiled at the last entry. The man was single but....straight. Just my luck. I can dream though can’t I? Stop it Jack, he’s not going to be interested in you.
Owen opened the door “What’s making you smile Jack?”
“Erm....oh, just been doing some research.”
“Yeah, what about?”
“Oh....nothing to worry your head about. It’s not work.”
“Right.”
“Was there something I can do for you or was it a social call?”
“What....oh sorry. No not social, Tosh has just been monitoring the Donald Gordon Theatre again and has found some interesting readings.”
“Ok, I’ll come down and have a look.”
The two men left the office but before Jack did so he saved the information on Ianto Jones to his personal files.
“Hey Tosh what’ve we got then?”
“Well when you, Owen and Gwen were at the theatre there was a faint reading coming from somewhere about the stage, then after Gwen and Owen left, well the readings got stronger, as if either your voice or that guy you were talking to was a trigger that kinda woke it up.”
“Mmmm interesting. Anything as to where it is now?”
“Not really, just the last reading was back stage somewhere. It seems to be watching and waiting for something to happen.”
“Great Tosh, thanks, I think I’ll have to pay another visit to the theatre. What time is it?”
“8.30 Jack, but won’t they have all gone home now?”
“Yeah, that’s the point, get in whilst there’s no one there, find out what it is and get rid before they get back tomorrow.”
“I see, you want me to come with you?”
“No, I’m a big boy now, don’t need you to hold my hand....well only if you want to Owen! But thanks anyway”
“Nope, don’t want to hold your hand, I’d rather it be Tosh’s.”
Jack smiled at them, bid them a goodnight as he told them to go home he’d see them in the morning. If he needed them he’d call.

The cast and crew had worked hard and Ianto was pleased with how the rehearsals had gone. He looked at his watch “Ok that’ll do for tonight. That was much better, now maybe we can get the technical rehearsal done tomorrow without too much hassle. I suggest you all go home, get a good night’s sleep and be back here for nine in the morning. Barring any disasters, we should be through by tea time.”
The cast thanked him and said goodnight. Mark gave his crew a couple of final notes, then told them to go home.
Ianto looked at his watch, “Mark you’d better get off too, it’s nearly nine o’clock, and if I know you, you’ll be in at seven in the morning just checking”
“Ok, thanks, see you tomorrow then. Oh and Ianto....”
“Yeah?”
“You get back to your hotel too. You need a good night’s sleep also.”
“Ok Mark, I’ve just got some notes to finish, then I’ll be off. If I don’t do them now I’ll forget and Dawn will have my hide.”
“You should be so lucky! You do know she’s got a soft spot for you, don’t you?”
“Yeah, I gathered that a couple of weeks ago. I just don’t like to mix business with pleasure.”
“Well you’d better tell her before she makes a fool of herself.”
Ianto thanked him and said he’d chat to her tomorrow. He bid Mark a goodnight and started to make headway on his notes. He was engrossed in writing when he thought he heard a noise on the stage. Mark had switched the lights off so only the auditorium ones were on. He looked up and thought he saw someone crossing the stage. He shivered, don’t be stupid Ianto, there’s no one here only you. Get your work done and go home, you’re tired.
He went back to his work. Another sound, this time from behind him. This is getting really stupid now. You’re losing it! He turned around and came face to face with Jack.
