Author: m_findlow

Rating: PG
Challenge: 493 - Valuable at tw100
Notes: Owen knows crime doesn't pay. Apparently neither does Torchwood.

Owen frowned as he watched the small spacecraft lift off and disappear put into the blackness of space.

'Another happy customer,' Jack beamed, still staring up at the stars.

'Why do we always get shafted?' Owen asked.

'What do you mean?'

'They offered to pay us to get their ship going again.'

'And they did,' Jack replied. 'What's the problem?'

'They paid us in potatoes! What good is that?'

'Where they come from, potatoes are valuable and make good currency. If anything, we got overpaid.'

Owen groaned in defeat. 'The universe is weird.'

'I know,' Jack grinned. 'Isn't it great?'
