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.

	The additional pressure alerted him to the fact that they were touching at all. He shifted away. "Well, I can't take you in. But I have to have something to tell them when I go back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did they specifically tell you to, y'know, arrest me and bring me in or whatever, or only if I did something? Because maybe, I don't know... maybe you could say that you fixed the situation or there was another explanation or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, I was supposed to bring you in, because you'd already done something, and, if it became necessary, stop you from doing something worse. And I could just say that I...lost you in the crowds, or we were given false information, or something, except that woman saw me here. So she knows I caught up with you. She'll probably be expected to be contacted soon, to give testimony, or something. So you'll have to....escape, or something."

	He thumped his head back against the wall. "They wiped your memory. They might well be keeping taps on you." He didn't realize he had that phrase wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why? From what I know, Torchwood doesn't care much about...regular people, unless we get in their way. Which I won't." The words sounded similar enough, and he had enough else to worry about, that he didn't really pick up on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well....Maybe you're right. I saw a lot, did a lot. But you really think they're...following me, or something?" He considered that maybe he should up his paranoia level. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't have any real reason to think it, evidence and whatever, just... seems like them, and their type. I've known other organizations that did that kind of thing. Maybe not an actual person tailing you, but monitoring calls and mail. Or they aren't doing anything like that and I'm just really paranoid at this point." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
