Characters: Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 379 - Cardiff Constabulary
Notes: Jack has never liked authority

Dealing with the local constabulary had never been one of Jack's favourite parts of the job.  It was why he always tried to palm off the task of speaking to them to someone else.

Gwen or Tosh if he was feeling generous, Owen if he'd been having a bad day.

They always asked such stupid questions, and then couldn't understand why he told them to leave it to them to sort out. What did they think they could do about a serial killing alien with twelve legs and poisonous skin?

The "secret" part of secret organisation definitely had its downside.

Yeah, the police just aren't equipped for the kind of threats Torchwood deal with, and not being free to explain WHY they can't handle certain things makes it all more difficult. It's easy to understand why the police resent Torchwood.

You'd think that after all those years, they would have an inkling of what Torchwood deals with.

I think the Cardiff Constabulary would say "annoying" rather than secret... "arrogant" rather than secret ... "prima-donnas" rather than secret ...

You get the picture ... :)

Was "dead sexy" on that list? LOL. ;)
