Gwen was in a really good mood, just as she’d been leaving Jack had winked at her and told her he’d see her later. Something he hadn’t done to either Tosh or Owen. After months of continual flirting her efforts were finally paying dividends and she was so close to dumping that tub of lard known as Rhys and get herself a real man.

Entering her flat she heard Rhys pottering around doing whatever inane thing he did to keep himself occupied when she was busy saving the world.

Walking into the bedroom she was graced with a whistling Rhys just doing up his date night shirt.

“Are you going out?”

“No my love, we’re going out on a double date. I met your boss we had a chat and he wants to meet us at the ‘Golden Dragon’ reservations for 8pm. Gwen why didn’t you tell me he was gay and has a steady boyfriend. If I’d known I’d have been a lot less worried about you working with him.”

Gwen who’d been in the process of fluffing up her hair and trying to figure out whether Jack would prefer it up or down, stopped in mid pat.

“Excuse me! What steady boyfriend?”

“Didn’t you know? I ran into him at lunch time with that Ianto guy. He was the one who suggested it.”

“Ianto! He’s just the hired help! Owen calls him the teaboy and though I’d never give him the chance to gloat, he’s right. Ianto Jones is nothing more than a teaboy who warms Jack’s bed from time to time.”

“Oh no Gwen, not from what I saw and heard. Those two are a couple and are serious.”

“In Ianto’s dreams perhaps.”

“Nope. It was Jack who told me not Ianto, he was too busy blushing.”

Gwen’s eyes narrowed at that and seeing red she lashed out and in a fit of anger knocked Rhys out.

A short time later, Rhys came to but not in either position he expected, nor to a deeply apologetic Gwen. Instead he found himself tied to a chair and a clearly agitated Gwen pacing and muttering to herself.

On seeing her former boyfriend, awake she stopped pacing and stared at him with more than a slight mad gleam in her eye.

“Jack feels you’ve become an obstacle to our love. I did suggest using rec-ton, but he felt there was too much chance something could trigger your memory, then we’d e back to square one. So because of that we’ve decided it has to be permanent.” On hearing this his stomach dropped and he tasted bile in his mouth.

“Gwen love, please don’t do this.”

Her head snapped round and she almost snarled. “Don’t call me love, I’m not your love I’m Jack’s.”

Rhys realising that Gwen was more than a little bit crazy, tried the most placating tone he could manage under the circumstances.

“Gwen. You don’t want to do this.” Struggling against his bonds, but finding no give whatsoever, Rhys became a little desperate, “Gwen think of what you’re doing? We were going to be married. Why would you want to throw that away?”

Somewhat impatiently, Gwen replied.

“I only said yes because Jack wasn’t here, then he came back and acted all noble, in not wanting to stand in my way. But he came back for ME he told me so!”

Hearing the plaintive tone. And seeing the near desperation tinged with not a small amount of dementia in her eyes, Rhys struggled for what to say.

“I’m sure Jack loves you and if he’s really who you want I won’t stand in the way.”

Muttering darkly, almost to herself, Rhys caught the words ‘teaboy’ and ‘what it takes’ and sparing a few seconds sympathy for Ianto, Rhys tried a different tract.

“You can’t kill me Gwen! You’ll never get away with it!” As soon as the words were out of his mouth he realised what a huge mistake he’d made.

A hard glint came into her eye as she raised herself up to her full height.

“Of course I will! I’m Torchwood! All I have to do is make it look like an accident, no-one would dare question a member of Torchwood.”

And in one swift move, she picked up the god awful statue of Medusa that Rhys’ mother had given them as an engagement present and bought it down with a sickening thud.

Dropping the statue to the floor, she untied Rhys’ unconscious form and dragged it towards their balcony, all the while muttering to herself. Heaving his not inconsiderable form, she struggled to lift the dead weight up and pushed him over the edge.

Watching in a detached way at the panicking people 7 floors below and the screams from the passer-by’s. walking back into the room she sat in the chair that her late fiancé had occupied, rocking and planning her next step.

Ianto was going to pay for stealing the Captain away from her.

Thank you

Heh, why am I not surprized that Rhys is more observant than Gwen when it comes to Jack/Ianto!

You know that you really do have to continue with this, don't you?

[haces222.livejournal.com]

Gwen was never very observant

Um possibly *gulps*

[caz251.livejournal.com]

Oh you have got to continue this, I can just imagine the ways in which she'd try to get out of it.

"But Jack." Bats eyelashes, "I don't know what happened, Oh I'm so alone, don't leave me." *Pukes*

Loved this though.

God I love Rhys...Of course he would pick up on Jack and Ianto the minute he met the two of them!

And I can so see Ianto visiting Gwen in her little padded room...Bringing her flowers and saying "These are from Jack and I." And Gwen throwing a fit of rage!

Is there gonna be more to this...I wanna see what freaky plan Gwen comes up with to get rid of Ianto...That of course would be thwarted!

Loved this...Thanx!

[haces222.livejournal.com]

Padded rooms may or may not be in her future, one thing for sure things will get worse before getting better

Thanks for reading

[bk_forever]

Need More! Pleeeease! Need more! *Hopeful smile* This is great!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Since I'm a newbie to both comm and fandom, I'm reading the stories backwards in time. This is great fun, I hope there will be more. Please?

(I'd do the puppy eyes routine, but it might wake bad reminiscences, so I'd rather not...)

Do you think you will ever write a sequel? I would love to see Jack's reaction to her killing Rhys and trying to kill Ianto (because you know she'll try but Jack will save him).
