Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 453 - Last at tw100
Notes: Jack was sure his speed had won him first prize

Jack was completely out of breath as he ran up to the desk, doubled over from the effort and throwing down the flag on the desk.

'How'd I do?' he asked.

Ianto clicked the stopwatch, surveying the time. 'Two hours, forty-nine minutes, and ten seconds.'

'That's gotta be some kind of record,' Jack said, grinning. Ianto's team scavenger hunt had proved more challenging than expected.

'Actually, you came last. The others finished half an hour ago.'

'What? How's that possible?'

'Well, had you not tried to cheat and simply followed the clues, you'd have found the flags a lot quicker.'

Hah! That'll teach Jack not to cheat!

On second thoughts, it probably won't.
