Challenge: 340 - Spiders
Notes: Gwen's going to have to learn a whole new set of rules working for Torchwood

It was her first proper boardroom meeting since joining.

'So Owen,' Jack began, 'what are the results of the autopsy?'

'Nothing exciting. Guy died from a spider bite.'

'Seriously?'

'Yup. Toxicology report confirmed it. Australian funnel web. Not native to the UK. Just a plain old ordinary death.'

'Huh, well that's boring. And we don't do ordinary. Kick it back to the coroner.'

'No worries boss.'

Gwen was confused.

'Sorry,' she interrupted, 'but what part of that was ordinary? Man killed by exotic spider venom?'

Owen smirked.  

'Chill out newbie, this is Torchwood. Soon enough you'll be begging for ordinary.'
