Jack had snapped at Ianto and stood from his desk to pace. "It's nothing." He tried to ignore it, and the whisper of a voice that mocked him. The voice that seemed so much more real now than it was when he was wide awake. He couldn't force it away, and that was some how scarier. He shouldn't have to face this now, he shouldn't have to be afraid in his own skin. Captain Jack Harkness didn't do afraid.
He spent the next two days in the same manner, forcing himself to stay awake, but the waking nightmare just getting worse. The sound, that little feeling that even when completely alone, there was someone there.
It was day four when he fell asleep again, and it was much against his own will. Sitting on the couch in the Hub with some much needed to attend to paperwork on his lap, he drifted off.
