Challenge: 449 - Skills at tw100
Notes: One thing Gwen never does is give up. A double drabble.

Jack had always complimented Gwen on her investigative skills, saying that the team was better for having her here, but she didn't quite agree with him.

Sure, policing was all about obtaining information in sometimes difficult circumstances and making connections between it all, but she couldn't take credit for that. Torchwood's computers did most of the work, and she barely had to do more than a couple of clicks and keystrokes and a whole raft of data was right there at her fingertips. No more trawling through filing cabinets, ringing around, trying to find experts on this thing or that. The hub did all that and more, providing fresh insights into otherwise unrelated pieces of information.

No the real skill was in not giving up on any investigation until it was solved. All the data in the world couldn't help if you didn't care enough to follow it where it lead you. And when you finally did get to the end of it, it was all about what you chose to do. What actions did you take when you were faced with the horror? That was where she was different from them. She knew how to see past the horror.
