torchwood100Summary: Gwen and Ianto have lost something important. A double drabble.
Gwen yawned as they completed another circuit of the docks, keeping their eyes and ears peeled for anything out of place. ‘This job is never easy, is it?’
‘Nope,’ Ianto agreed, just barely holding back a yawn of his own. ‘But then if I fell through a rift in time and space to an unknown world, I probably wouldn’t be making myself known to everyone either.’
Gwen bit the inside of her lip. ‘Yes, well that’s all well and good but we did manage to find the alien, remember? It’s bloody Jack that’s gone missing, isn’t it?’
Ianto frowned, pulling the vortex manipulator from his pocket. It had been on the ground and they’d only found it by accident, a little worse for wear. Jack wouldn't have abandoned it willingly, and without it they had no way of tracking him. The vicious alien may have been apprehended but without their captain they weren’t going home anytime soon.
‘Jack!’ Gwen called out again. Then something grabbed her from behind, clamping its hand over her mouth.
‘Shh!’ Jack hissed, appearing from nowhere.
‘Where the hell have you been?’ Ianto hissed back.
‘There’s two of them. I was hiding, hoping to ambush it.’
