Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 540 - Theft at tw100
Notes: Jack and Ianto's night off looks about to be scuppered. A double drabble.

'Who is it?' Jack asked as Ianto scrambled over the top of him to reach the phone on the table next to the sofa where they'd been lounged. So much for their night off he thought.

Ianto checked the caller ID. 'Detective Inspector Swanson,' he replied.

Jack groaned as Ianto passed him his phone. 'Detective. To what do we owe the pleasure?'

'Think you're having a laugh, do you?'

'Don't think so,' Jack replied, keeping one arm tightly around his lover who was close enough he could hear the detective's acerbic tone.

'I'm not getting paid to sort out your messes,' Swanson declared. 'You can come down and sort this yourself.'

'Sort what?' Jack asked.

'Reported theft.'

Jack frowned. 'Uh, isn't that your department? We don't do petty crime.'

'They reported a bloody spaceship stolen! God knows they don't look alien but this is not my job, d'you hear? If they want to report a stolen Vauxhall, then fine, but this is ridiculous.'

'Sorry, Detective,' Jack apologised. 'They know they're not supposed to call the police for that sort of thing. Won't happen again. We'll reiterate  that the Cardiff Met are incapable of helping.'

'Choose your next words carefully, Harkness.'

Oops, Jack just put his foot in it again...

I hope the spaceship is easy to locate.
