Jack was surprised to see Ianto standing at his doorway, knocking politely.

'What can I do for you Ianto, or did you have some sixth sense that I could go another cup of that amazing coffee?'

'I just wanted to let you know I've finished sorting that paperwork, sir.'

'Already? That was supposed to take you hours. A chance to get used to our systems here in Cardiff.'

'Systems?' he replied coyly.

'Okay, lack of a system. But it works. We can't be as fancy as those shmucks in London.' He regretted it before he'd finished saying it.

'The dead shmucks?'

'Sorry.'
