Characters: Torchwood team
Rating: PG
Challenge: 372 - Party
Notes: A double drabble becuase I couldn't cut it down no matter how hard I tried. How hard could it be to keep one little secret?

Trying to keep a surprise birthday party a secret from Jack was almost impossible. He was incredibly nosy and forever tapping into their CCTV systems, spying on them as they went about their day.

'Teaboy deserves a medal,' Owen declared.

'What for?' Ianto asked warily, as he paused on the step ladder from hanging streamers.

'How you ever managed to keep a cyberman hidden here is beyond me. Twice Jack's nearly found the balloons and helium tank. Said he was conducting a random audit of Torchwood supply cupboards and provisions. Since when does Jack do audits?'

'I had to get Rhys to go pick up the cake when I found a tracker on my car,' added Gwen.

'I had to fake a power surge yesterday to stop him reviewing the rift predictor program, which would have told him that today should be alien free. No good if he thinks the weevil sighting in Splott is a ruse.'

'Do you think he suspects anything though?' Gwen asked.

'Took the bait didn't he?' Owen stated.  

Ianto's phone beeped.  

'He knows.'

'What did he say?'

'He says if we didn't get the giant bouncy castle this year he's going to be really disappointed.'

Tormenting his employees is the best present as far as Jack is concerned :)
