ianto jones, jack harkness

Who: Ianto Jones and OPEN
Where: The streets of Colligo
When: After this and any subsequent events.
What: Walking and looking for clues

It was difficult, working without leads, contacts, allies. He was good, he was one of the best, but he wasn't a magician. He couldn't conjure the man out of thin air. Still, all his intelligence pointed to Harkness being here. They wouldn't have sent a top agent if they weren't completely sure; at least, he hoped they wouldn't.

He'd settled into his assigned flat, although that hadn't taken long. He didn't expect to spend much time there, it wasn't like wanted assassins just came up and knocked on the door. Once that was done, he headed out into the streets, not sure what he was looking for. Yet.

OOC: Meet Jones. Ianto Jones. Ianto was fired from Torchwood One and had his memory erased for voicing doubts about the use of the Ghost Machine. The government was still interested in him, though, so he was transferred and became a secret agent. He never returned to Cardiff and never worked for Torchwood Three. As far as he knows, Jack Harkness is a suspected assassin he has been assigned to track.

	"Well, I kept seeing her around their building... but I guess maybe she just liked the spot for lunch or something after all. I thought if she wasn't with them but showed up that often that they would've run her off." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You chose her because she was always in the same place? It's a big city, lots of people follow the same routes to work or school or shopping all the time." He frowned a bit. "What building was it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No, not just that. She was with them one time, heard them say the name and everything, on one of their retrievals. But now it's like she'd never heard it. Maybe they did something to her memory, I don't know. I thought she was actually with them, not just happened to be in the same place." He had to think for a moment what it was called. "It's a big tower at One Canada Square. Canary Wharf. Y'know, London."
