Characters: Tosh, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 550 - Run at tw100
Notes: Tosh has bad news for the team, but someone else knows already. A double drabble.

Tosh was rendered speechless by the time she'd finished watching the video Jack had left for her on their computer systems. She could hardly believe it but she knew Jack wouldn't lie about something this serious.

She spun at the sound of the quiet footsteps behind her. 'He's gone. Jack's gone,' she blurted out, knowing she couldn't keep it to herself.

'I know,' Ianto replied, his expression grave. 'The Committee are trying to frame him for murder. He's on the run - from them, from the police... There was no other choice.'

'But...' Tosh stammered. 'How did you? I only just received Jack's message. He left it for us to find.'

Ianto let out a heavy sigh. 'He was at mine. Before he left, that is. Couldn't have been more than five minutes. Just long enough to leave a shirt in my laundry hamper, covered in blood.'

'What?' Her eyes went wide as saucers.

'He's fine,' Ianto assured her. He slumped into the seat next to her. 'Took my laptop, my car...' He gave a little chuckle, '...even my favourite blue shirt. Then he was gone.'

'What do we do now?' Tosh asked.

'Find out everything we can about The Committee.'

I hope Jack will be okay. If I were Ianto I'd get rid of the bloody shirt though.
