Summary: Ianto's first rift retrieval goes better than expected. A double drabble.

‘And we’re tracking...’ Ianto muttered to himself, following the signal on his rift activity locator. 'It must be... there,' he stopped, looking up at the abandoned warehouse. Perfect. At least no one else would take it whilst he went and lured Jack here.

The locator beeped and he frowned at it. It’s moving. It’s alive? Right. Best take a peek and see what we’re dealing with. Probably just another weevil.

He hefted open the rusted door with a squeal and was met with a second, coming face to face with the thing.

‘Bloody hell, is that a...’ He didn’t get to finish the sentence before it came swooping towards him. He slammed the door shut and leant against it with all his weight, waiting for the inevitable impact. There wasn’t one.

He blew out a relieved breath before slowly and quietly opening the door again, just a fraction, to look inside.

‘Yep, that’s definitely a pterodactyl. Not going crazy.’ He closed the door and let out a little laugh of madness. A dinosaur in Cardiff! Well, you were after something that would get the Captain’s attention, Jones. I’d say this will definitely tick the box.

Now, where to find Jack?

Love this! A perfect explanation for how Ianto happened across a pterodactyl.

It definitely wasn't quite what he planned, but it worked out okay in the end.
