A/N: Well, here's the next chapter. Basically, this is what Jack did during the events of the last chapter. And speaking of last chapter, thanks to Lizzle09, Sunfall E, rara saryn, and FantasticlyBrilliant for the reviews, they're much appreciated! Also, I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. There was really no way I could make it longer.
Pranks for the Memories
Chapter 12 Shticks and stones
Jack walked into the posh lobby and took a seat in one of the chairs that were provided.
He waited a few minutes, and then walked to the receptionist desk.
He set the package that he had come in with on the desk, and then said," I have a package here for Yvonne Hartman." The receptionist glanced at him through her dark-rimmed glasses, eyeing him suspiciously.
He just grinned." I'm a friend."
"Then you should have sent it through the post, 'cause we don't take packages hand-delivered by friends."
Jack decided to use his charm to get the package to go through." But can't you make an exception just this once-" He paused and glanced down at the nameplate on the desk"-Linda?"
She was clearly not impressed. "I'm sorry Sir, but company policy clearly states that this package should not be allowed through."
Jack sighed and picked up the package."OK, thank you for your time."
He walked through the lobby and out to the car park, trying to think of a way to sneak the package in. He then had an idea. Jack turned his blue trench coat inside out so that it was now a brown trench coat and buttoned it all the way up. He pulled out his sunglasses and put them on.
Jack walked back through the car park and into the lobby, making sure that the package was on the side that the receptionist wouldn't see. He walked into the lift and grinned as the doors closed.
It had been a slow day at the Torchwood Institute. Yvonne Hartman had just got back from her lunch break, and was actually in a good mood when she walked into her office. Her good mood didn't last long, however, when she saw the odd package sitting on her desk.
She walked over to her desk, weary of what the package held. She sat down at her desk and took the brown wrapping off. Underneath the brown wrapping was a layer of yellow wrapping with a pink bow on top. She carefully untied the bow and unwrapped the box.
When she opened the box, she didn't expect a cream pie to come flying out at her. With a splat, the pie hit her in the face, killing the last shred of happiness that she had left.
The tin slid off her face and into her lap, a glare forming on her face when she realized it landed pie-side down.
"Harkness!" she shouted, thinking up things she could do to him the next time he showed up for work.
