Summary: Gwen wants answers, but rushing her teammates isn't helping. A double drabble.

Gwen's foot tapped in an annoying fashion as she waited for answers. It was slowly driving Tosh mad, that incessant tap, tap, tapping.

'Anything yet?' Gwen asked.

Tosh gave Ianto a sideways look as he sat at the computer console next to her, before replying. 'Nothing.'

'What do you mean nothing?'

Tosh bit the inside of her lip. She could understand and even appreciate Gwen's impatient need for information, but it wasn't helping. She slapped her hands down on the edge of the desk. 'Nothing. I can't tell you where Jack is or why he's suddenly gone.'

'But there must be something!'

'We've got a whole archive full of information,' Ianto said, but it's all over the place. There's no telling what's in here. We know Jack's files are encrypted. It's slow going to try and dig up anything.'

'Even then we don't know whether it'll tell us anything,' Tosh added. 'I wish I could tell you where Jack's gone and why but I can't, and standing there demanding answers isn't helping!'

Gwen puffed out a breath. 'Let me know as soon as you have something.'

Tosh sighed and stared hopelessly at Ianto. 'It's going to be a long night.'
