torchwood100Summary: Gwen needs Ianto to do some digging on Jack. A double drabble.
Gwen: Hey, Ianto.
Ianto: Hey.
Gwen: You’re the master of the archives, right?
Ianto: That’s not quite the title I give myself, but yes. Why?
Gwen: So, if I said that when we were at Estelle’s house and there was a photograph back in the forties of Estelle and a man Jack claims was his father, you could find out if that was true?
Ianto: I don’t think we have dating records from the forties.
Gwen: I meant the photo. He looked exactly like Jack.
Ianto: Well, family resemblance is not uncommon…
Gwen: EXACTLY like Jack. Anything about him in Jack’s Torchwood file? Any way we could track down other photos? Jack said he served in the war. Someone must have a photo. Military records? US or UK?
Ianto: You do know that no one has ever found Jack’s personnel file, don’t you? Trust me, we looked.
Gwen: His birth certificate, then. It must have his dad’s name listed on there.
Ianto: I’ll see what I can do. No promises, though. Jack is the biggest damn mystery Torchwood has.
Gwen: Thanks, Ianto. You’re a gem.
Ianto: P.S. It’s “Overlord of the Archives”, just in case you were wondering.
