Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 360 - Blink
Notes: Jack has to face up to his mistakes

Jack stared intently at the device, blinking occasionally.

The tiny light blinked innocently back at him. He blinked back again.

Sometimes it felt as if they were in synch, then it changed. Was it blinking faster now or was that just his imagination?

He realised that this was all his fault.

‘Jack, what are you doing?’ Gwen asked, looking at him curiously as he stared at his phone sitting on the desk.

‘Ianto and I arranged a phone sex date while he’s in London at that UNIT conference. Only I forgot to charge my phone earlier and now it's dead!’

Landline? Tin cans on strings? Borrow Gwen's mobile?

Come on Jack, you're not trying very hard.

He's just so fixated on the end result that common sense has flown out the window. Plus he's waiting for Ianto to to call him. Now he probably just thinks he's busy off saving the world!

Silly Jack! You need two mobiles with the same number so you can one on charge and carry the other with you. I'm sure Tosh could fix that. Meanwhile, try a different phone and call Ianto!
