Title: Civic duty
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 413 - Twelve
Notes: Being a civil servant sucks sometimes

Jack stared at the letter, utterly incredulous.

'But, they can't!'

'They can,' Ianto confirmed. 'You're a British citizen.'

'But, jury duty? They seriously need twelve people to decide if someone should get a parking ticket?'

'I'm sure it's much more serious than that,' he assured him.

'But it could drag on for months!'

'Don't exaggerate. It'll be a few days at most in all likelihood. It's your civic duty.'

'Don't we do enough civic duty around here stopping aliens from taking over the earth?'

'Apparently not.'

'I need to have a serious chat with Liz next time we're in London.'

Poor Jack! I don't think he'll be a very good juror, he'll probably flirt with the others, ask awkward questions, come up with wild theories, then get bored and start sexting Ianto, or fall asleep.
