Previous part of Ghost In The Water.

***

After pulling on a pair of jeans and his black hooded sweat shirt, Ianto followed the team along the hotel corridors, Jack standing next to him as the ghost had decided Ianto was there favourite play toy he was scared something would happen.

"Looking at this now I can see why this place is out of business." Owen said as they watched the scene in the reception; the young girl behind the desk was crying frantically, hiding behind the large wooden frame as objects were being thrown around in sync with the flashing lights.

"Any idea where they're coming from?" Gwen asked, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets as knives from the kitchen were being thrown at the wall.

"There, look." Ianto pointed to a faint red glow in the corner of the room. "What do we do?"

"We've never dealt with ghosts before." Toshiko said desperately. "Jack?"

"I'm better with aliens and weevils, ghosts are normally friendly."

"Well Casper seems to be staying at a different hotel." Owen mumbled.

"Salt." Ianto said.

"What?" Jack asked a little confused.

"I read some where in the archives that ghosts don't like it, its like their allergic to it."

"Salt?" Owen asked with wide eyes.

"Yes Owen, salt. The table variety."

"Its worth a shot." Jack said a little unconvinced. "Tosh, Gwen go to the kitchen and find some salt."

"Right." Gwen said and followed Toshiko into the direction of the kitchen.

"I'm going to get the girl." Jack said, "Stay here." He added to Owen and Ianto who just blinked back at him and watched helplessly as Jack acted the part of the hero and headed in the direction of the flying objects.

"You two had sex when you knew I was in the next room." Owen spat.

"Owen, I don't think now is the time." Ianto said as he watched Jack get hit on the head with what looked to be a rolling pin.

"Still, you couldn't have kept it in your trousers."

"I would if I was wearing trousers." Ianto smirked a small smile played on his lips as Jack reached the desk without a knife to the heart.

"Can you walk?" Jack asked the girl softly, who nodded quickly.

"Good, I want you to stay behind me okay, and be quick." The girl nodded again, to stunned to speak.

A few more bruises to the head and Jack was standing next to Ianto who was fussing over a particularly large bruise that was forming on Jack's temple where a shelf had hit him, it seemed that the ghost had realised small objects didn't do justice.

"I want you to go, run as fast as you can and just leave okay." Jack said and the girl nodded and started running again, the ghost's attention was focused on them.

"Jack, we've got the salt." Gwen screeched and stood next to Jack. Jack took the salt with a smile.

"So how does it work?" He asked Ianto who was staring in the corner of the room. "Yan!"

Ianto snapped back to attention, Jasmine was in the corner shouting at her dad but the others couldn't hear her, and by the sound of it neither could her dad. "I don't know, just throw it?" Ianto suggested.

"This is getting more stupid by the minute." Owen snapped just as a knife was thrown in their direction, Ianto quickly pushed Owen out of the way and landed on top of him with a loud groan the knife falling next to them.

"You okay?" Ianto asked getting up quickly.

"Yeah thanks." Owen smiled as a doctor he was used to doing the saving, and a tea boy had just saved him. "So this salt thing?" Owen asked as the red smoke became nearer. Thinking on his toes, Ianto grabbed the salt from Jack sprinkled some on his hand and then threw it at the smoke, each tiny particle hitting the smoke releasing a small cracking sound.

"Well done on the salt call." Toshiko smiled at Ianto who just stared in shock, it really worked.

"Yeah but now I think I might have pissed it off." Ianto mumbled.

"So now we?" Jack asked, taken the team by surprise, Jack always knew the answers.

"Look over there." Gwen said pointing to Jasmine who appeared out of no where, but Ianto had seen her all along.

"Ianto, you need to help me." The girl cried.

"How?" Ianto asked stepping forward unconsciously though he could feel Jack trying to pull him back.

"Help me Ianto." The girl cried. "You promised you'd help."

"But how?" Ianto asked aware that the red smoke was getting closer to him.

"Yan.." Jack said unsteadily.

"Make him stop please Ianto."

"How?" Ianto asked once more, then ducked as a knife was aimed at his head.

"He's going to kill you, he's going to kill you all, stop him before its too late."

"How do we stop him Jasmine?" Jack asked grabbing hold of Ianto's hand tightly.

"He's stuck here, we can't leave. But you have to stop him... more will die Captain Jack Harkness more will die.." The girl was cut off by her own scream as the smoke turned on her, and then the room was empty again.

"Well that helped." Owen muttered.

"They're stuck here, what can we do?" Gwen asked shivering slightly as an unearthly cold filled the room.

"We destroy the hotel." Ianto said simply, only to be looked at as though he was frothing at the mouth, rolling his eyes he began to talk again, "Don't you see, they're stuck here, if we destroy the hotel then they wouldn't be stuck here. There tied to the hotel, the murders, his wife, everything happened here, if we burned down the place then they can move on."

"I swear I saw that in a movie." Owen said.

"But we can't just burn down a hotel." Gwen said.

"We're the only people here." Jack said. "No one comes down here any more, like Owen said its in the middle of no where."

"So we're just going to burn it down because Ianto said it will work?" Gwen said a little bitterly.

"I didn't say it would work." Ianto said.

"It will work. And its all we got." Jack smiled.

"So how do we go about burning down a five floor building?" Toshiko asked.

"Petrol and a match-stick." Ianto said simply.

"Were you like an arsonist in another life?" Owen laughed.

"No, but I watch a lot of movies too."

***

Ianto felt as though every one was looking at him, he hated when the attention was him he always did, he was pleased when his phone started to ring, he picked it from his pocket ready to turn it off but Jack smiled and nodded at him.

"Hey Jamie.." Ianto said as he walked away from the group who had moved out into the garden. Ianto walked around aimlessly as he spoke to his brother, he realised he was walking further and further away from the group and deeper into the garden. "Sorry what did you say?" Ianto asked he had lost track of the conversation already, "I'm sorry I didn't phone back I was busy." Almost getting my heart ripped out Ianto added silently, "Yeah I know I work too hard."

"Ianto!" Jack called, it was only then that Ianto realised how far he had walked, he was standing next to the swimming pool.

"I'll phone you later, got to go back to work." Ianto ended the call and stared at the swimming pool, he could see Jasmine, her body was at the bottom of the pool, the plastic sheet that covered the pool was now wrapped around her.

"Ianto!" Jack called again, and Ianto snapped his head up, he looked back at the pool and saw that the body was gone, he started walking over to Jack. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Ianto sighed. "I know how Jasmine died."

"How?" Jack asked a little stunned.

"Drowned in the pool." Ianto replied. "I just saw her body. Then it was gone." Jack nodded grimly and they walked towards the others.

"I was thinking." Owen said.

"This is going to be good." Gwen laughed.

"The ghosts are attached to their bodies right? If we burn the hotel down the bodies will still be in piece, we should burn the bodies as well."

"One problem, we don't know where the bodies are." Gwen pointed out smugly.

"Actually, they're over there." Ianto said pointing to behind the swimming pool. "I saw the graves."

"Oh." Gwen sighed.

"So, we burn the bodies and the hotel?" Toshiko asked.

"Yeah." Jack smiled.

"Sounds like a plan." Toshiko said.

"I'll be glad once this is all over," Gwen said, acting as though it was her that the ghosts were constantly using.

"We all will." Jack said with a pointed gaze at Ianto who was staring at the floor awkwardly. "So, any one got a spade?" Owen looked up at Jack a confused expression on his face that was almost cute. "To dig the graves, we'll need to get rid of the soil before we can burn the bones."

"Wait you mean we have to actually dig the graves up?" Gwen asked.

"How else do you expect to burn their bones?" Ianto asked not caring that he came of slightly patronising, Gwen was hard to handle when he was in a bad mood.

"I don't..." Gwen was cut off by Owen who started to talk.

"I saw one near the swings." He said rolling his eyes at Gwen.

"I'll go get it." Gwen said, and Toshiko followed.

Ianto's phone started to ring, and he stared at it mimicking the confuses expression that was just on Owen's face. "Aren't you going to answer it?" Owen asked, he really hated the particular song that Ianto had chosen as his ring tone.

"I would if some one was ringing it." Ianto replied holding up the flashing phone, that wasn't ringing. "It did this right before.."

Jack pushed Ianto on the floor pulling Owen down too as the red smoke pushed past their heads, "You two okay?" Jack asked.

"Fine." Both men chorused, and stood up quickly, the smoke had changed into the angry man.

"You're a good one." The man said, his voice low and husky. He was staring directly at Ianto, his yellowing teeth opened in a smile. Jack and Owen both moved protectively in front of Ianto.

"Too bad you can't have him." Jack said, the man laughed a screechy laugh that made them all want to cover their ears, the girls appeared behind the man, using her instincts Gwen raised the spade over his head ready to hit it before it turned to smoke and was now behind Ianto.

"You can't stop me." The man growled as he pushed Ianto away from Owen and Jack and then started screaming as Ianto touched his skin, a crackling sound was also heard.

"Yan.." Jack called and Ianto fell to the floor just as the ghost appeared. "What happened?"

"Salt." Ianto said, reaching into his pocket showing several salt packets. "Always prepared." Jack couldn't help but laugh, he placed a rough kiss on his lips and heard Gwen cough from behind them.

"So what now?" She asked.

"We burn some bones." Owen grinned, grabbing the spade from Gwen and following Jack and Ianto who were walking hand in hand in front.

"You know, when we get home, I'm taking you out for a very expensive meal."

"Last time you said that we didn't leave the hub." Ianto smirked.

"Well I mean it this time." Jack smiled.

"What I don't get is why the ghost is latching onto Ianto." Gwen said it almost sounded as though she was jealous, which made both Owen and Toshiko roll their eyes in synch. Jack looked over at Ianto who shrugged.

"If it helps Gwen, I don't particularly like it." Ianto said in his classic dead pan voice which always made Jack smile.

When conversation behind them started again, Jack looked at Ianto, "Its because the girl feels as though she can connect with you, ghosts are extremely good with feelings, that's probably why." Jack smiled weakly.

"That's what I was thinking." Ianto sighed. "Lucky me right." Ianto mumbled, Jack didn't know what to say so just squeezed his hand tighter.

They reached the grave stones a few moment later, and Jack grabbed Ianto close to him. Red smoke was all over the graves.

"And we thought this was going to be easy.." Owen sighed.

***

"So, what happens now?" Gwen asked as she stared from the graves to Jack who was staring at the graves with wide eyes.

"I don't think salt will work this time." Jack said. "And like I've said ghosts aren't really my thing.."

"How about a decoy?" Ianto suggested. "Get him away from the graves so you can burn them?"

"Its too dangerous." Jack pointed out.

"What else do we have?" Ianto asked with a raised eye brow.

"I wont let you be bait, not after what happened." Jack mumbled. Ianto smiled slightly.

"Its the only way." Ianto sighed.

"Me and Ianto will go that way." Owen said, "That way if anything does happen, I'll be able to patch him up."

"And if something happens to you?" Ianto smirked.

"You can patch me up tea boy." Owen smiled.

"Fine, spade." Jack held his hand out and Owen passed him the spade and a lighter. "Didn't know you smoked."

"I don't.." Owen mumbled, and Ianto gestured for them to go knowing that the lighter belonged to Diane.

"Be careful." Jack said, and Ianto and Owen just nodded.

"Hey Casper!" Owen shouted.

"Yeah, some how that's going to work." Ianto mumbled, he kept his eyes on the smoke it was still around the graves. Ianto gestured for Owen to walk towards the smoke with him.

"What?" Owen said a little unsure, walking towards the smoke wasn't much of a decoy more like walking into the fire, a very angry fire.

"Trust me." Ianto sighed, Owen nodded and they walked towards the smoke, it stopped moving around the graves and turned into the man.

"You!" The man snarled his yellow teeth on show, Owen looked at the man and wanted to be sick.

"Hey." Ianto said simply, keeping eye contact with the balding ghost, he slowly started to move backwards, pleased that the man seemed to be following.

"You're going to die," The man laughed and started walking a little faster, which Owen and Ianto copied.

"Sure," Ianto shrugged. "But it wont change anything." This seemed to confuse the ghost, he was used to scaring people away, making them run so he could enjoy the chase but this one, the good one, he wasn't scared. "You might kill me, might kill all of us, rip out our hearts and then what? Your wife she's dead, your little girl is scared of you. What's the point, why don't you just go?"

"No!" The man screamed and lunged for Ianto who was expecting it and moved out of the way.

"Well done, pissed him right off." Owen smirked, and watched as the man watched Ianto.

"It worked didn't it." Ianto shivered.

"But now its going to kill you, and as good as I am, I can't save the dead." Owen replied.

"Thanks for your faith in me Owen." Ianto said and continued to back away from the ghost who was now in physical form. "Got your gun?"

"He's a ghost!" Owen said but handed it over.

"If he can touch me, we should be able to touch him."

"Now isn't the time to tell me about your fetishes." Owen smirked.

"Owen, you know fighting a ghost thing here." Ianto laughed. He loaded the gun and moved towards the ghost. "So, you were saying about killing me?"

"Do you have a death wish?" The ghost laughed and Ianto just shrugged moving forward gun still in hand.

"I would say do you but that would be slightly ironic as you know you're dead." They were really close now and Jack was watching everything his eyes wide with fear all he could think was: 'what the fuck is Ianto doing?'

The ghost pushed himself onto Ianto a gun shot rang through the garden, echoing in the silence. There were two loud screams, one was Ianto the other the ghost. Owen ran over and watched with his eyes wide, the ghost had a bullet hole right where his heart would be and Ianto's hands were on top if it covered in what looked like salt. With a little help from Owen, they pushed the man onto the floor and watched his skin burn.

"You okay?" Owen asked noticing how the young welsh man was holding his arm.

"I landed on my arm." Ianto sighed, "He's not you know dead, he'll be okay in a minute. Just slowed him down."

"We should go help Jack." Ianto nodded and they both rushed over to Jack who was now digging the dirt from the grave.

"You two okay?" Gwen asked standing next to Owen.

"Ianto hurt his arm, he did all the work." Owen smiled hitting Ianto on the back who flinched slightly, "Right sorry,"

"You okay?" Jack asked looking up at Ianto who was watching the grave.

"Fine," Ianto smiled, and turned back to see the ghost turning to smoke once more. "Hurry up."

"I'm there." Jack said moving his face away from the decaying bones, he lit the lighter and set the bones a light, watching as red smoke hovered around them. He grabbed Ianto's hand, as Gwen, Toshiko and Owen all moved away.

The bones were burning behind them brightly, as the red smoke moved around the. "Yan.." Jack said softly, "I love you."

"Jack.." Before Ianto could say anything the smoke had pushed its way into him again and he was on the floor, his body rigid. It lasted a minute as the last bones burned and then the smoke vanished.

"Ianto!" Jack cried as he rushed over to where his body was.

"Mm.." Ianto whispered. "Love you too."

"Can you move?" Owen asked as he rushed next to him, Gwen and Toshiko watching everything.

"I think so." Ianto said and went to sit up, holding onto Jack for help who was too pleased to oblige.

"Look!" Gwen called pointing over to the little girl who was now bathed in a white light.

"Thank you Ianto." The girl smiled. "You saved me."

"We saved you." Ianto corrected her, making them all smile.

"So is everything over?" Owen asked.

"Yes. You saved me. I can move on now." The girl waved and they smiled back and watched as she walked further into the light.

"Can we go home now?" Ianto whispered.

"Yeah, let Owen have a look at you and then we can go home." Jack smiled.

***

"You know, I'm really proud of you." Jack whispered as he held Ianto close to him that night, every one was relived to be back home, away from the trenches that were the Welsh Countryside. The first thing they decided to do was take a long bath, there was nothing erotic about what they did, cuddled close together as warm water swam through their bodies, healing the wounds of the past weekend.

"Why?" Ianto asked, his voice covered with sleep as he held onto Jack sheepishly. His fingers playing with the loose cotton hanging off Jack's boxers.

"Because you saved us, you knew what to do throughout this whole thing. And I've underestimated you and I'm sorry."

"Well you know now for the future." Ianto smiled. "Jack.."

"Mm.."

"My family is coming over tomorrow." Ianto sighed, his mum had left him a voice male saying she had a spare key and she was going to come and see him, and If he was at work at least she would have a chance to tidy up and stock his fridge with healthy food.

"I'd like to meet them." Jack smiled, but remembered what Ianto told him about his dad and wondered maybe meeting his potential father in law would be such a good idea.

"Good, because you've no choice in the matter, I'd like you to be there when they kick me out of the family for good." Ianto mumbled.

"You really think they'll take it that bad?" Jack asked, but from understanding what his young lover had said recently about his parents, he knew that was how his parents and family were going to take it.

"Yeah." Ianto said sadly, "But I've got you, and that's all that matters." With that Ianto squeezed Jack lightly into an effortless hug and closed his eyes, letting sleep devour him.

"Love you Yan." Jack whispered before falling into a peaceful sleep as well.

-x-

Jack had given every one two days off, field missions always made the group tired and bitter but he had said if anything happens he would call them and expect them to jump up to work but only in an emergency. They worked for Torchwood after all, regular days off weren't in their contracts. Ianto woke up at half eight and even though Jack deemed this early he knew this was a record for Ianto who was normally at work at this time.

"I'm going to have a shower." Ianto whispered, knowing Jack was awake. Jack nodded, he was too tired to even think about showering with Ianto, it was weird, sleep always made him feel more tired, but lying in the bed with Ianto who was sound asleep it was hard not to get pulled into a beautiful slumber, he had stopped fighting it three months ago.

An hour they were both up, ready and washed when they heard the familiar sound of a key in the lock, "You know she could have rang the bell you know to see if I was in." Ianto mumbled as he made his way to the hall way. He had a large bump on his head and a few small scratched on his arms from the mission, and other weevil hunting activities and Jack silently wondered what his lover would tell his family.

"Oh Ianto you're in!" His mother smiled brightly, and Ianto smiled back moving over to hug his mum tightly, realising the smallest touch showed how much he had missed having family around, behind his mum were his brother, sister and father.

"Ianto what the hell happened to your head?" Jack guessed that was Carys who was now shouting.

"I got mugged." Ianto said simply, but the lie was completely believable and it scared Jack how good of a liar his partner was.

"Hello son." His father said.

"Dad." Ianto nodded. "Alright Jamie?"

"Good, so no work?"

"No work." Ianto replied shortly. "So I want you to meet some one." Ianto said and gestured for Jack to make his grand entrance.

"Oh you've gone at got yourself a girl friend." His mother grinned.

"Actually.." Ianto said and took hold of Jack's hand. "Boyfriend." There was silence in the hallway and Ianto wondered for a second if telling his family was the right thing to do, but then remembered how hurt he was at his father, how much he disliked his family and then how much he loved Jack and he knew he has done the right thing.

"Well..." His mother said numbly. "Pleased to meet you..."

"Jack." Jack grinned and shook Ianto's mums hand. "Nice to meet you all."

"Jack, that's Carys, Jamie, and my dad." Ianto said, wondering whether his mum had maybe knocked her head. Carys stared at them in shock, Jamie was frowning and his father couldn't look him in the eye. "So, any one for coffee?"

"I'll make it." His mum said and headed straight to the kitchen, Jack wondered of to help. Ianto followed his family into the living room.

"You're gay." Carys stated.

"I guess." Ianto replied, he had never really thought about categorising himself, he was in love with Jack and that's all that mattered to him.

"My son gay." His dad said shaking his head. Ianto went to say something but Jack walked in.

"Please tell me you didn't touch the coffee machine." Ianto said and Jack just smiled.

"Your mum did." Jack grinned and then sat down next to Ianto, who instantly reached for his hand.

"So what did the police say?" His mum asked as she walked in.

"About.." Ianto asked completely confused.

"The mugging." She smiled curtly.

"Oh, yeah they caught the guy." Ianto smiled, and then the room was filled with silence again, but then his mum started talking again.

"I must say this is a bit of a shock," She said with a dramatic sigh at the end.

"I'm sorry?" Ianto asked raising an eye brow.

"You were quite happy in London with that Lisa girl."

"That Lisa girl is dead mum." Ianto said and smiled as Jack squeezed his hand.

"Oh. Well you don't tell us anything." His mum said sadly and Ianto just rolled his eyes, his eyes wondered to Jack's wrist strap and for a second was wishing it would start beeping.

"So Jack." Jamie began. "How old are you?" Ianto rolled his eyes, Jack was over a hundred years old.

"34." Jack said and Ianto coughed slightly trying to hold back his laughter.

"Bit old." His father stated and this time Ianto couldn't stop laughing.

"Are you having some sort of fit?" His sister asked with a humoured smile.

"Sorry." Ianto said with a smirk. "And he's not that old."

"There's a ten year age gap."

"Technically its nine." Ianto replied shortly.

"Yes well he's still far too old." His mum said and Jack just looked down.

"You know what mum, he could be the exact same age as me and he'd still be too old. Just face it I'm gay, in love with a man, and fucking get over it, and if you can't then get out of my house." Jack stared in shock at how angry Ianto sounded, yet he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Don't you talk to your mother like that." His father snapped.

"You know, not so long ago you were talking to her like she was shit on the floor, and when we all told you to stopped you didn't did you." Ianto said back quickly.

"Ianto be quiet." Carys said strongly.

"Why should I?" Ianto asked, he had hoped his sister would be okay with it, but he was obviously wrong.

"Because you're not acting like yourself, this whole gay thing, you're grieving that's all." His mother smiled sympathetically.

"Mum, you didn't know that Lisa died until what two minutes ago, you're using everything as an excuse and I'm sick of it. So you know what just leave."

"But its your birthday."

"I don't celebrate my birthday, haven't done since I was sixteen and you all know why. So save the small talk and just go, I've had a long past couple of days and right now all I want to do is cuddle up to my boyfriend and sleep." Ianto walked to the front door and held it open as his family walked out, his dad shooting him a heated look before slamming the door.

"Yan.." Jack said gently, he saw the tears in his eyes and moved over to him wrapping his arms around him.

"You know on your record it says you're 38." Ianto whispered as he buried his face in Jack's neck, tears reluctantly falling from his eyes.

"I know, but I thought it would be too old." Jack smiled as he heard a small chuckle from Ianto's lips.

"I'm sorry you had to sit through that." Ianto said as he moved his face, and looked up at Jack.

"I'm glad I did, reminds me to never get on your bad side." Jack smiled and kissed Ianto softly. "So, what do you say about going up to bed then?"

"Love too." Ianto grinned.

Ianto closed the bedroom door behind him and pulled Jack into what could only be described as the most passionate kiss he could remember, tongues weren't fighting for dominance, they were sending messages of love over each other, as hands slowly and gently rubbed against the others body.

Slowly Jack pushed Ianto closer to the bed who understood where this was going on and obliged to Jack's slight pushes. Ianto lay on his back and watched hungrily as Jack started to take of clothes that he had only put on an hour or two before. Ianto couldn't remember a time when Jack's body looked so beautiful. A topless Jack started to tug Ianto's top off, and threw it hazily onto floor, before sending butterfly kisses along Ianto's stomach making Ianto moan the most beautiful sound Jack had ever heard.

Trousers went next, it wasn't rushed like normal, they were taking it slow. Rubbing themselves against each other with such intimacy that Jack thought he was going to come already. They kissed each other lazily before Ianto rolled on top of Jack.

In all their times of having sex, Jack always topped, except once where they both needed release but Jack had injured his back and all he could do was lye there.

But this time there was no need, it was pure love and Ianto wanted to give himself completely to Jack, and who was Jack to refuse. They continued to kiss softly as Ianto's hand fumbled in the draw, a smile of victory on his lips when he retrieved the lube and condoms. He rolled the condom on slowly, there was no need to rush as they both had forever.

Ianto fingered Jacks entrance slowly and with as much delicacy as possible, he smiled as he felt Jack slowly fuck himself on his fingers and once he scraped a finger over Jacks prostate and saw a slight look of urgency on Jack's face, he slowly entered him.

The slowness, the light touches, made them last hours. Jack would never admit just how much he loved Ianto on top, because he was always the one that had to be in control. But right now, in that moment, Jack felt himself loose all ability to think about anything other then Ianto, and not just about what they were doing. He looked up to see Ianto looking him straight in the eye and he wondered whether Ianto was thinking the same thing.

Hours passed, and they soon found themselves loosing the battle to stay one, they came together not breaking eye contact as Ianto pulled out they wrapped their arms around each other.

"Being here, with you now, I've never felt so alive." Jack whispered as he placed a light kiss on Ianto's forehead.

"I love you Jack." Ianto whispered.

"I love you too, so much Ianto." Jack said and noticed the small smile and blush on Ianto's face.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Making me want to celebrate my birthday next year, I'm never going to forget this birthday."

"Good." Jack smiled. "Though maybe next year, you can remind me a month before hand and so I can do something special."

"No ghosts." Ianto smiled sleepily.

"No, no ghosts." Jack said mimicking the same smile.

"Promise?" Ianto chuckled.

"I promise." Jack grinned. "Now go to sleep."

"Yes sir."
