The second of my eight drabbles for Week 4 of Challenge 288 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100. This is my only canon-compliant drabble this week.
Summary: Jack waits as ten minutes to pass agonisingly slowly.
Spoilers for They Keep Killing Suzie.
Jack glanced at the clock. He’d been checking the time every few seconds since he’d left Ianto finishing up with Suzie in the morgue. Ten minutes had never seemed more like an eternity.
As soon as he’d reached the main Hub, he’d ordered everyone home. The events of the day had been so unsettling that even Tosh didn’t argue, gathering her things with one hand while turning off her computers with the other as if she couldn’t wait to escape.
Owen followed Gwen out, muttering that he needed a drink.
Jack checked the clock again. Still three minutes to go…
The End
