Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Owen, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 604 - Restriction at tw100
Notes: Jack doesn't believe in "slow down or you'll miss it". A double drabble.

'Have you sorted out the paperwork with Royal Gwent hospital yet?' Jack asked, putting Ianto on speaker as he and Owen careened down the motorway. 'I don't wanna be hanging around for a corpse all day.'

'Face it, Jack,' Owen said, 'you just don't want to hang around Newport all day.'

'That too,' he agreed.

'Should hopefully be processed by the time you get there,' Ianto promised.

'So, in the next ten, then?' Jack clarified.

Jack could almost hear Ianto frowning over the phone. 'You're ten minutes away?'

Jack cut out into the next lane, sped up and cut back inside, overtaking a lorry. 'Make it nine,' he said, hooting with delight.

'You didn't happen to see any roadworks on your way there? The A48 specifically?'

'Oh, yeah. But they were a good twenty miles back.'

'And the speed restrictions?'

'What speed restrictions?'

There was a pause and an audible sigh. 'That'd be the ones there to protect said roadworkers.'

'We didn't hit anyone on our way through if that's what your worried about,' Owen said.

'Very good. I'll make a note of that and be sure to mention it when I call to have the inevitable speeding fine retracted.'

Jack doesn't do slow, Ianto should know that by now.
