The heat was stifling as Ianto and Tosh walked along the beach, shoes in hand, the sand almost burning their bare feet. Ianto squinted through his sunglasses, trying to make out anything through the shimmering heat haze, while Tosh kept her head down beneath her wide-brimmed sunhat, eyes fixed on the device in her hand. There wasn't the faintest breath of a breeze.
"Trust the Rift to dump something way out here on the hottest day of the year." Ianto took a swig from a lukewarm bottle of water that had been cold when he'd taken it from the cooler in the SUV barely ten minutes ago.
"The heat has to break soon," Tosh replied. "Whatever we're looking for should be about a hundred metres further, and close to the dunes."
"Good. With any luck it won't take long to find, then we can head back to the Hub where it's cooler."
They were so focused on what they were doing they didn't notice the sky darkening overhead until a loud crack of thunder made them jump. Then the heavens opened and in moments they were soaked to the skin.
Ianto grinned. "On second thoughts, there's no rush."
Tosh laughed.
