Why this must be read:

While investigating some suspicious deaths, the Torchwood team come across yet another psycho ex-boyfriend, and for once it's not one of Jack's.

This is an engaging post-S2 casestory with good characterization, and one of the earliest stories to expand on and make good use of Ianto's backstory as revealed in 'Fragments'.

Excerpt: "We're just keeping an eye on things for Chandlers," Ianto said, randomly naming one of the companies with a unit close by. "Jack just got bored and went wandering. Long night shift."

"Webleys standard issue to private security grunts these days, are they?" Nick retorted with sarcasm. "You can tell your boss, who ever that is, that I'm sharing my supply with no one. And as for you, it's not in your interest to get me into trouble, see." Ianto's throat tightened and he flipped the switch to take the conversation off the speakers should Gwen be finished in the weapons locker before it was done.

"You've nothing left from that," he said, trying to keep his voice level. "Just leave it, Nick."

"Want to bet?" Nick's reply came back taunting and confident. "After you did a runner? I went back and picked up some insurance. You head back down what ever rabbit hole you've been hiding and leave well alone."
