Title: Off balance
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Owen, Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 553 - Wobble at tw100
Notes: Owen's table is sporting a rather suspicious lean. A double drabble.

Owen groaned as his scalpel rolled off the table and onto the floor. He bent down and picked it up, setting it back on the table whilst he finished weighing the alien's stomach contents. As he jotted down the figures, there was a metallic clink. He looked down. That was the third time he'd had to retrieve his scalpel. He gripped the edge of the table and gave it a little jiggle.

'Oi, my table has a wobble it didn't have yesterday,' he yelled out.

'Problem?' Ianto asked, clipboard in hand as he peered over the railing.

'Have you two been using my autopsy table?' Owen halted his sentence there, not wanting to verbalize what he thought they might have used it for.

'As if we would,' Jack replied, coming to lean on the rail himself. 'It's hard, cold and damn awkward.'

'As we discovered last night,' Ianto added.

'Hey, I was covering for us,' Jack said, looking annoyed. 'You weren't supposed to go and tell him.'

'And you were supposed to fix that cracked castor wheel,' Ianto replied. 'Perhaps if you hadn't been so rough...'

'I didn't hear you complaining about my being rough last night.'

'Out!' Owen yelled.

And once again Owen is on the wrong side of Too Much Information, lol! You'd think he'd learn to just NOT ask about things he'd rather not know.

He can't help himself. He doesn't think before he opens his mouth to complain.

Can you get a copy of the CCTV of Owen's face, it would be priceless :)

Oh, so you don't want the footage from the night before? It makes much better viewing! ;)
