Rating: PG
Challenge: 575 - Hold at tw100
Notes: The team have gathered to drown their sorrows. A double drabble.

'Should've seen this coming, I suppose,' Owen said, taking a pull on his beer. He studied his two co-workers sitting across from him in the booth. Tosh kept her face down, hands in her lap, and Ianto was fixated on peeling the label from his own bottle.

'That glove had a hold on her, no mistake,' Owen continued. 'She was obsessed with it. Just didn't think she'd resort to killing people to study it.'

Jack slid into the booth next to him, with a tumbler of scotch. No one expected him to be here, having escorted the young policewoman home. How he'd even found them all here, drowning their sorrows at a stupidly early hour of the morning was anyone's guess. Owen thanked God that a good pub didn't care what hour it was.

Jack swirled the contents of the glass and then held it up. 'To Suzie Costello,' he said. If he carried a grudge or any residual anger at what she'd done he didn't show it.

Owen supposed it could have happened to any of them, but it had happened to Suzie and now she was dead.

Owen raised his mostly empty bottle. 'To Suze.'

'Suzie.'

'To Suzie.'

Death by Torchwood, even though it was by her own hand. Poor Suzie.
