Summary: In their current state, the boys are left to find alternate means of transport. A double drabble.
'I think we just lost our ride,' Jack said, watching as the SUV disappeared off into the distance, now no more than a tiny black spec in the suburban landscape.
Owen trudged over to stand beside Jack, flicking his arm violently to dispel some of the mud that clung to him. 'I never did like Ianto,' he muttered.
'We were warned,' Jack replied, not sounding nearly as miffed as Owen would expect. 'The longer we dallied the more time Ianto had to think about just how filthy the SUV would get with us sitting in it. I'm surprised he didn't flat out refuse from the off.'
'Doesn't mean it's okay for him to just leave us here,' Owen grumbled.
Jack ran a hand through his hair, feeling the mud slick it back against his skull. The pair of them were head to toe in muck, forced to hog-tie the alien down in a patch of backyard that had seen four inches of rain and was now nothing more than mud pit. In other circumstances, Jack might have enjoyed a bit of mud wrestling.
'Good luck finding a taxi that'll take us,' Owen griped.
'There's always the bus,' Jack replied.
'Great.'
