Title: The big one
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto, mentions team
Rating: PG
Challenge: 510 - Radar at tw100
Notes: Jack was certain this was "the big one". A double drabble.

'Hurry up,' Jack complained, keeping an eye on his PDA as Ianto drove them across town.

'I'm doing the speed limit,' Ianto said, his reply terse.

'Then go faster. Whatever this thing is, it's big.'

He relented, accelerating, knowing the others were on their way to meet them. He'd called them one by one as he'd tugged on whatever clothes he could find in the dark, the rift alert having woken them.

He pulled over at the location and stepped out, looking around. He spotted Owen and Tosh, armed with flashlights and guns. Gwen pulled up in her car moments later. Ianto waited for Jack to start issuing orders. In truth, he expected he'd be able to see what had triggered the rift alert by now.

'Jack?' he asked, seeing him still studying the PDA. He felt anxious at the lack of response from Jack. He wasn't ready for the world to end tonight. 'Jack?' he repeated.

'Just start looking,' Jack replied.

Ianto frowned. 'I thought you said it was big?'

'I did. But it turns out the large spec on my rift radar was actually pizza sauce.'

'And this is why we don't leave you in charge of technology.'

Ooops! Well, everybody makes mistakes. Guess they'd better start searching for something small.

It was the middle of the night so I suppose he can be forgiven for the error o_O
