Challenge: 607 - Calm at tw100
Notes: Gwen needs Rhys now more than ever. A double drabble.

'Whatever you do, Rhys Williams, do not freak out,' Gwen warned him as the van trundled ever closer to the Ashton Down complex.

'Freak out? We only just ambushed an undertaker in his van, stripped him down to his johns and left him in tied up in his own coffin in the bushes! And this suit is murder, Gwen. He's two sizes smaller than me, easily.'

'Just shut up,' she scolded trying to get him to see the serious side of this. 'We have one chance to get Jack out of there. One chance,' she emphasised. 'When we pull up at the base, you hand them this paperwork and don't say anything.'  

God, she shouldn't have even let him come along, but who was going to believe a woman in her late twenties was the undertaker come to collect a dead body from a military facility? As much as she hated it, she needed Rhys. He had that kind of face; the kind you could trust because he was so bloody honest. Just not too honest, she hoped.

'How can you be so calm, Gwen?'

'The world could be ending and we need Jack. That has to be reason enough.'
