Challenge: 490 - Signal at tw100
Notes: The team communicate best when nothing is said.

Jack came to a standstill behind the pillar, holding up a fist. Silently and in unison the rest of them halted.

He cast a look across at Gwen. She held up four fingers. Four hostiles. Good. He'd spotted only the three.

He made a hand signal at Owen and Tosh. Go around, it said. He watched them slip silently away to the right, behind a large row of crates.

Behind him Ianto placed a hand on his shoulder and pointed. Up on the gantry was a fifth. He poised, ready to take it.

Without a word spoken, they were ready.

That "conversation" was possible due to the dynamics of the team. Good for them!

Oooh, really great use of the prompt! I love tht they can tell each other everything they need to know without a word spoken.

They're not as exacting as the military, but sometimes you have to be able to get your message across without giving yourself away.
