Summary: The council are creating headaches for Torchwood getting out of the hub.
Owen groaned as his phone began ringing. Seeing it was Jack only made him more annoyed as he answered it. 'What?'
'I think I need some help,' Jack replied.
Owen snorted. 'I've been telling you that for years. Besides, how can you need help? You only left here three seconds ago,' he said, having watched Jack ascend on the invisible lift to the Plass overhead.
'Yeah, well finding my way out has become a little bit of a problem. It would seem that there's now a maze made out of ice covering the Plass, and the water tower is the centre. I've already had to fight my way through five people trying to take selfies of their victory.'
Owen grunted. 'Teaboy might've mentioned something about that a few days ago. Didn't think it was going up this early. It's only 5th December.'
'Well, they have, and as much fun as it might look, I'm having a hard time finding my way back out.'
'So, just come back to the water tower and go back out of the hub another way.'
He heard Jack sigh audibly. 'Yeah, that might have been good advice before I'd started trying to find my way out. Now I can't find either.'
Owen rubbed his hand over his face. Why did Jack have to be so useless? 'What d'you want me to do? Leave you a trail of breadcrumbs?'
'I was thinking more a live satellite image. Just patch it through to my phone.'
Owen heaved a sigh. 'Like I have nothing else to do,' he said, already keying the request into his computer. At least Jack wasn't asking him to navigate.
'And one more thing,' Jack said.
'What?'
'Tell Ianto he needs to put up a sign to warn me about these kinds of things.'
