Summary: Jack and Ianto's small problem feels like a big headache for Owen. A double drabble.


Owen glowered at his two teammates. 'When do I ever get a day off, huh?' he complained.

'Hey, it was our day off, too,' Jack reminded him. 'We were quite happily enjoying our coffee and newspapers until this happened.'

Owen rolled his eyes, turning his attention to that small problem on the desk. 'And you say you found him like this?'

It was Ianto's turn to roll his eyes. 'Yes, Owen. Our postman isn't normally two inches tall, nor does he reside in our mailbox.'

Owen snorted. 'Trust him to end up in your mailbox.'

'The miniature postman's bike is pretty cute, though,' Jack added, giving its tiny bell a tinkle with his little finger.

'And you had to drag me in here on a Saturday to fix it? Couldn't this have waited until Monday?' He didn't know what he was supposed to do with a shrunken man and no technology to point the finger at.

Jack frowned at him. 'What, you're suggesting we should've just popped him in the post to arrive at the hub next week to deal with? That's insane.'

'Besides, that wouldn't work,' Ianto said. 'If we posted our postie, who'd be there to deliver him?'
