Author: m_findlow
Characters: Ianto, Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 607 - Calm at tw100
Notes: The perfect storm is brewing and it's got Jack worried. A double drabble.

Ianto slumped back against the enormous pile of sandbags blocking the entrance to the tourist office. Despite his best efforts water was still seeping underneath them, creeping slowly across the floor. Hardly surprising when the ocean outside was cresting into four foot swells, and crashing over the boardwalk.

'Time to abandon ship, Ianto,' Jack declared, poking his head out from behind the interior sliding door.

'I've seen bad weather before, sir, but this one's a doozy.'

Jack's expression grew dark. 'And this is just the beginning. It'll get a lot worse.'

Ianto's eyes grew wide in surprise at the statement. 'You mean this is only the calm before the storm?'

Jack nodded.

'Well, I guess at least we're mostly protected in here. Not a bad place to be stuck.'

'I'm heading out.'

'What? That's insane. The roads are already flooding.'

'And we've still got nuclear fuel packs missing from a military base, flesh-eating alien starfish in a bathtub, a string of dead bodies and one missing Sergeant Applegate. Don't ask to me to explain it, but they're all connected somehow, the weather included. I have to find her.'

Ianto accepted the determined look on Jack's face. 'Then drive carefully, sir.'

I hope Jack solves all of this before things get any worse!
