A/N: Written for the Concise Science-Fiction and Fantasy Month on Live Journal, for the prompt Torchwood; Owen; Janet adopts a pet
Owen dragged his feet going down to the cells. It was his turn to feed the inmates, as Ianto had gone off somewhere, and Gwen and Tosh had begged out.
Slopping food into the occupied cells, he came to Janet's, where she was cuddling something.
Owen stepped forward to take a look, and Janet immediately held out her pet to him. It was a ferret. It leapt out of Janet's hands, ran up to the glass and hissed ferociously at Owen. Owen backed away quickly.
Why couldn't she have found something less vicious, like a black widow spider or something?
A/N: Thanks to Twitter peep Laffers18 for looking it over, although I went back and changed things afterward. :P Comments and critiques much appreciated.
