Author: m_findlow
Characters: Owen, Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 415 - Silence
Notes: There's something lurking in the dark...

'It's quiet,' Owen comments.

'Too quiet,' Jack teases, loving those cheesy lines from old films.

'I thought you said this thing squelches when it moves?'

'It does.'

They stood there in the darkened coolroom and listened. Nothing. Not even a breath.

'Do you hear that?' Jack asked.

'What?'

'Silence.'

They both squint and cover their eyes as the room becomes suddenly bright.

'I found the light switch,' Ianto declared. 'I also found our alien.'

'Where is it?' Owen asked, looking around.

'Hard to make squelching noises when you're frozen solid,' he said, pointing to the thing looming right behind Owen.

Poor thing, sounds like its squelching days are over.

Ianto Jones, always the practical one =)
