Summary: Jack doesn't quite grasp the urgency of the situation. A double drabble.

Gwen came to a screaming halt as she gripped the edge of Jack's door. 'Jack! We've got to go.'

He frowned at her. He hadn't seen any major rift activity crop up for days let alone in the past hour. 'Where's the fire, Gwen Cooper?'

'It's the Iceland in Radyr. They're being inundated with leaks.'

Jack chuckled. 'Have you seen the weather out there? It's been raining cats and dogs for days. I'm getting tired of hearing about Ianto's complaints that we don't have enough sandbags to keep the tourist office from flooding. To be honest, I'm amazed it hasn't literally started raining cats and dogs. Haven't had that happen for at least a decade now. The great pet food shortage of 1991 was one for the scrapbook. Needing a few extra buckets at the local supermarket is not a case for Torchwood.'

'Oh, would you stop with your stories for five whole seconds?' Gwen begged, sounding exasperated. 'Not leaks, you idiot. Leeks! As in the vegetable. Look,' she said thrusting printouts from Facebook at him.

'Wow, that's a lot of leeks. Is that really sticking out of that guy's head? Lucky it was his head and not his-'

'Stop!'

You'd think the Welsh would know how to handle a bunch of leeks...
