Summary: Getting a job with Torchwood Three proves difficult.

A/N: I wrote this at practically the same time as my friend timelordshines wrote her drabble Last Chance – in fact when I wrote it, I gave it the same title, I think we must be sharing the same brain. Anyway, she posted hers first so I changed my title, although part of me wanted to call it Last Chance: The Prequel because they just fit together so well!

He’d stalked Harkness for weeks, waiting for the right opportunity to present itself. Rescued him from a weevil and got the brush off.

Stalked him some more, offered him coffee, which obviously met with his approval. Got the brush off again. What did it take to impress the guy? Something different, something new.

When he stumbled across the Pterodactyl, managed to lure it into an empty warehouse using chocolate, he knew it was his final chance because he’d never find something to top this!

Waiting by the road in the rain, he steeled himself. This was it. Sink or swim.

The End

Ianto was so conniving in his pursuit of Jack. How to con a Con....

Yes, he was, but he didn't really have much choice. He would have tried anything to save Lisa, she meant the world to him and Jack was a stranger so it was easy at first to use him. I think as Ianto got to know Jack and the others, that's when what he was doing started to prey on his conscience, but they helped him by ignoring him most of the time. If they'd really tried to get to know him and include him in things, if they'd treated him better, then I think he probably would have broken down and told them about Lisa.

Thank you.
