Challenge: 582 - Dial at tw100
Notes: Ianto couldn't make it any easier to call for help. A double drabble.

'We're going to need backup,' Ianto said, struggling to keep the thing he was sitting on top of from getting away. Who needed those coin slot bucking bronco machines when you could have the real thing in Bute Park for free?

'Grab my phone,' he said to the complete stranger who had so far been mildly useless at helping him. 'It's in my right hand pocket.'

The man hesitated for what felt like an eternity before daring to get close enough to fish around in Ianto's jacket, finally extracting the phone. 'The keypad is locked!'

'The code is Cymru,' Ianto panted, shifting his weight to prevent the creature from using its claws to tear off his arm.

'Cymru?'

'29678!' Ianto yelled back.

'Oh,' the man replied, studying the keypad. 'Right, now when I call 999 do I ask for police or ambulance?'

'Never mind the police!' Ianto wailed, his frustration and desperation reaching breaking point. If they didn't get help soon, all they were going to need would be a few body bags. 'Just dial 8.'

'Eight? What's that then?'

'Torchwood!'

The man looked at the phone again. 'Oh, I see. T for Torchwood. That's very clever.'

'Isn't it just?'
