torchwood100Summary: Jack isn't doing a great job of convincing Ianto that he should come back to work at Torchwood. A double drabble.
‘Jack, we’re losing it!’ Gwen yelled, trying to keep one eye on the bright red sports car whilst the other kept an eye on Jack’s driving.
He hooted, enjoying the chase. ‘We’re about to hit the Severn Bridge and they are not gonna be stopping to pay the toll! What do you reckon, Gwen? Let them cross and make it England’s problem?’
‘Jack, we can't,’ Gwen said, her voice serious.
Jack sighed. ‘Oh, all right,’ he said, flooring the accelerator and forcing the SUV to go lurching after the speeding Maserati, trying to close the gap on it whilst dodging traffic. ‘I was only kidding, you know.’
Ianto wrapped a hand around the grab handle by the passenger window. ‘UNIT would have dealt with it.’
‘Ha!’ Jack barked a laugh. ‘Now who's kidding? We definitely can't leave it to be England's problem!’
‘I take offence at that,’ Ianto replied.
‘Oh, come one, admit it, Ianto, you’re enjoying being seconded back to Torchwood after all this time.’
‘Not sure you’re selling it, Jack,’ Gwen warned.
‘You know the nice thing about living and working in London is that when Jack visits, he can’t drive. I haven’t missed that part one bit!’
