Far end of Greenway Road - Late Saturday Night/Early Sunday Morning.

Nov 10, 2007 20:47

Jack hit the front door at the same speed he'd left Blueberry Hill, though he was panting a little to catch his breath. Not finding Ianto waiting for him, Jack immediately headed for the study and the entrance to their base below the house.

"Report!" He snapped as he came cantering down the circular stair case.



"I've run diagnostic twice and had Tosh run diagnostic at her end, it's not a computer glitch. The computer is reporting two weevils here in Milieux."

"That's not possible," Jack insisted as he came up behind the younger man, huffing a bit with his hands on his hips. "Weevils are in Cardiff, they're unique to Cardiff, like that horrible blood pudding you all make up there."

"Blood pudding is not unique to Cardiff, Sir and I assure you, the computer signature is weevil."

Jack shook his head and made a shooing motion with his hand and Ianto smoothly gained his feet and stepped off to the side to give Jack access to the keyboard.

Taking the vacated seat, the older man quickly set his fingers across the keyboard, eyes scanning information that Ianto already knew by heart.

"It's just not possible," he said softly to himself, frowning with concern.

"Why not?"

"Its ... well I mean we'd pretty much confirmed that the weevils in Cardiff were in Cardiff due to the Rift."

"Ah, yes, Sir and having Geoffrey Chaucer here on a park bench points to this town having no ties to time," who said Ianto couldn't do sarcasm?

There was a moment of complete stillness and then Jack quickly whipped his head towards Ianto.

"I'm sorry, Ianto but I could have sworn you just said that Geoffrey Chaucer is here on a park bench?"

"That's because I did, Sir."

Jack glared.

"And you didn't think to mention this too me?"

Ianto quirked an eyebrow, pointing out, without actually saying anything, that he hadn't seen Jack since meeting up with Chaucer.

Jack had the grace to nod and drop the subject for the time being.

"Okay, so ... possible weevil activity here in Milieux, looks like it's towards the edge of town, down off Greenway. That'll help, means we don't have to drive down the main drag at least..."

"Jack," Ianto interrupted. "We're not set up yet to house guests."

"Good point," Jack said, running his fingers across his lips. "Come on, let's get started, we can probably knock out a couple before night falls."

"Night Falls and Weevils Crawl?"

Jack shot Ianto a look that plainly stated he wondered about the younger man's sanity. Ianto gave an unconcerned shrug.

"Kinda catchy?"

"Come on Risen Mitten man, let's get to work."

**Later in the Evening**

Jack sat behind the wheel of the Torchwood SUV restlessly tapping his fingers against the steering wheel. Seated in the passenger seat beside him, Ianto didn't look much happier.

"Are you sure thi..."

"Ianto," Jack said warningly.

"Just, we don't know how weevils here will respond, might be different than the one's in Cardiff. Are you sure you don't want to jus..." Ianto shut his mouth with a snap of his teeth when Jack turned the full force of unamused blue eyes on him.

"It'll be a good test," Jack said after a moment.

"Yes, Captain." Ianto answered properly. "You did remember to tell him where to find us?"

"Please, Ianto. Like a large black Ranger Rover with British plates is going to be hard to miss."

Ianto didn't say anything, merely stared pointedly out at the absolute pitch black bit of back street Jack had crammed said black Range Rover down.

Jack sighed and reached forward to flip on the LED lights that ran along the vehicle's frame work.
