Characters: Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 444 - Grind at tw100
Notes: Jack and Bridget will never be friends

Jack sat there, slowly grinding his teeth, the only thing he could do to work out his irritation and impatience without it showing.

Bridget Spears, officious, self-important gatekeeper of the Home Office. He hated being here and she knew it. Frobisher was a pushover, but Bridget made him sit there and wait like  a chastised schoolboy in the principal's office.

'She seems perfectly pleasant to me,' Ianto always said.

Rubbish, Jack thought. She might be all nicey, nicey for Ianto, but the woman had a vendetta against him, and would do whatever she could to put him off his game.

Mess with her mind, Jack; hand her a blank page.

These officious types need putting in their place - maybe jack should remind her he works for the crown, not the Home Office. Neither she nor Frobisher has any real power over him.
