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.

Okay, that reaction was... very strange. It made Jack wonder if there was something in the scan that this Ianto Jones fellow didn't want him to know about. He could privately review the data on his display instead of with the hologram, but that went back to taking risks with the gun. And also strangely, he felt concerned for the guy over that reaction.

"Are you sure?"

	He broke into a bit more of a smile at that, but tried to hide it; that was really the wrong time to find someone amusing. "And just because what I'm telling you and showing you seems unbelievable doesn't mean it isn't true." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What else can I do to prove it, then?" He hoped not the teleport. Normally, such a short range teleport would be no big deal at all, but as damaged as those circuits were now, it'd be painful and possibly vomit-inducing, as if crossing galaxies and centuries instead of just several feet without delay.

	"Maybe not. Part of that's because of those Torchwood people. They cover up alien activity, and London sure has a lot of it. They abduct aliens when they do find them, run tests on them for as long as they're useful. Kill them. And they'd love to get ahold of my friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You realise how crazy that sounds, right? How crazy you sound?" His hand was trembling a bit, and he tried to stop it before his gun started shaking and Harkness noticed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Based on how you've reacted, yeah. It must sound like I'm some delusional conspiracy nut. And of course, that's what they want it to sound like when people talk about them. It's not a conspiracy theory if it's really a conspiracy, right?" Sort of echoing the paranoia thing that Jones had said before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, you're not much of a conspiracy theorist if you don't actually believe there's a conspiracy, are you? But you....this...it's not....That doesn't change that what you did was wrong!" He seized on this as the one thing he was definitely sure of at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
