The Conference Call

Challenge#35: UNIT

It was two hours into the conference call with UNIT before Ianto noticed something was wrong. Every time the Admiral mentioned The Valiant Jack would rub his wrists.  It was such a subtle and unconscious action, so unlike Jack, that Ianto couldn’t help but be concerned.  He’d thought it odd that Jack was letting Tosh run the meeting from this end and was barely participating, but dismissed it until now.  Since when did Jack delegate?  Why was he so still?  What caused the haunted look in his eyes?   How could the mere mention of a ship elicit so much pain?
