The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

58. Returning Agatha

Title: Returning Agatha

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Agatha Christie

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 278 – Women's History at tw100

Spoilers: Nope.

Summary: Sometimes Time Agency work is very straightforward.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: This is the companion piece to the previous chapter, The Disappearance Of Agatha. 100 words just wasn't enough, so I decided to write the other half of the story from Jack's POV. Hope everyone enjoys my take on the mysterious disappearance of the famous author.

Jack caught the famous author as she fell through the vortex. Other Time Agents were already dealing with the man who'd abducted her, planning to make his fortune by having her write novels he'd then pass off as his own.

"Sorry about that. Let me buy you a drink."

Retcon had its uses. At least history was clear on when and where she would be found. All that was left was to put her in the Hydropathic Hotel and check her in – he knew the name to use and a bit more Retcon would deal with the staff.

Easy job.

The End

A/N2: I don't know if I'll write anything else for this prompt, but I have some other ideas (thanks, f-list), and this particular challenge is running for two weeks, so maybe I will...
