torchwood100Summary: Owen has a way in through every door in Cardiff. A double drabble.
Owen rifled through the spare card holder he kept in his glove box, surveying his options.
He had a fake ID for every occasion: Detective Inspector? Nah, that would spook the guy way too much. This guy had probably been waiting for the cops to turn up at his door for forty years. That and the guy was a complete agoraphobe. Made for a deadly combination. He could flip out and do Owen with a kitchen knife if he wasn't careful. Wouldn't be the first time he'd knifed someone.
He continued flipping. Social worker, just as bad. Local pastor, ha! This guy was beyond salvation. Postal worker, computer fix-it guy, member of the Senedd… Gas board employee. Okay, that could work. Poke around the house for a bit, searching for a gas leak. See what the old codger was prepared to confess to. Owen would get a confession. He would get justice for Lizzy if it killed him, though hopefully it wouldn't come to that.
Owen slid the card into the top pocket of his wallet, dumped the rest back in the glove box and got out of the car. Owen Harper, local Welsh Gas Board rep was going in.
