Challenge: 564 - Slip at tw100
Notes: Ianto is beginning to wish Jack would deal with his own parking fines. A double drabble.
'Cardiff Department of Law Enforcement. Vehicles division. You're speaking with Sian,' came the bored voice on the other end of the line. After twenty minutes on hold, Ianto had almost fallen asleep waiting.
'Yes, I'm calling in regards to a couple of outstanding parking infringements. Oh, and a few speeding fines as well.'
'License number, please.'
Ianto quoted Jack's license as well as the registration details for the SUV, all of which he knew by heart.
'What's the reason for non-payment?' Sian asked, though she sounded like she could care less.
'Both driver and vehicle are exempted under Official Secrets Act Provision 115. Can you double check your records?'
Sian sighed and he heard the tapping of keys. 'Not much of a reason, is it?' she replied.
'Yes, well my boyfriend doesn't put much store in road laws. Boss!' Ianto quickly said, realising his own Freudian slip. 'My boss doesn't. I mean, my boyfriend doesn't either, but weren't not talking about him, are we? Totally separate issue.' He felt his cheeks grow hot.
'Those have been cancelled. Not my job to question it. Your boyfriend exempt as well? Want me to check his registration details?'
'Nope,' Ianto replied. 'Thank you.'
