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.

	"Then I have no choice but to place you under arrest." This part was easier, at least. He hoped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmm." Well, there was one use of his very limited teleport. Unless they took his wriststrap from him, the short distance would be enough to get outside jail walls. "No chance of paying a fine or working it off?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The government... great. Just so you know, you put me in their hands and I'm going to get handed over to Torchwood. They'll interrogate me, probably with a spot of torture, and misuse the hell out of my vortex manipulator. Why were you sent after me, to bring me in? Regardless of what I did?"

	"Oh! No, no way! I didn't even want to hurt her!" He really should have considered how it would look. "And look, I didn't do the thing you thought, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, you were stalking her. That is still a crime. And you didn't kill her, but how am I to know that it's not just because I showed up in time? I can't just go back and tell my boss, "No, it's fine, he said he wasn't intending to kill her, so I let him go."" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
