Office Seduction Slide One…
Disclaimer: Not mine, if they were, well....
Jack shifted a little from one foot to the other. He felt edgy and truth be told a little sick, although that could be last nights pizza. He was nearly ready, there was only one slight hitch. He turned the laptop over in his hands again and for want of a better word, jiggled, the cable. The damn thing would not register on the boardrooms main screen, he had turned it on and off, pressed f12, held shift, then shift control f12 and finally banged it twice on the desk to no avail.
"Damn it" he thought to himself "I can rewire a TARDIS for gods sake, okay, okay, Jack concentrate"
He followed the cable with his finger and poked it a little but nothing. Sighing in frustration he considered his options. One, he could load the presentation onto the torchwood mainframe where it would be automatically routed to the boardroom. Shaking his head he dismissed that idea. Too easy for one of the others to find it and he knew there would be outrageous mocking. Two, he could ask Tosh for help, no definitely not, he shuddered at the image. Three…..well he was yet to be inspired by a three. He hummed to himself and drummed his fingers on the table.
"Okay gorgeous, think logically" He stared at the laptop, then the boardroom screen, sighed, closed his eyes, tapped his foot a little and then had his eureka moment. Sitting bolt upright he scooted, for there was no better word for it, to the back panel of the monitor.
"Aha" he yelled in triumph and then sheepishly looked around as he plugged in the large screen in the boardroom.
It was time. This was it. He was ready. He stood to his full height. Ianto was his. All his. He even went so far as to chuckle manically. He strode across the room with the demeanor of a man who had a mission, then paused, nodded his head.
"Best pee first, oh and maybe a coffee" he said to himself. Resolute he left the boardroom.
Ianto looked up to see Jack striding purposely past him, jaw set and looking determined.
"Toilet break" he thought to himself. Jack was a good leader in the field but if truth be told when in the hub without a mystery to solve he generally was distracted and fidgety unless it revolved around thoughts or actions involving coffee, sex, bodily functions or food. He was indeed a primal creature.
……Next the presentation…..
