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.

102. A Mystifying Phone Call

Title: A Mystifying Phone Call

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 288, Week 2 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100

Summary: Ianto can't help listening in on Jack's phone call.

This is my sixth drabble for Week 2 of the current challenge. And I still have two more to post o.O

I have written and posted 70 drabbles this year to my journal - this account is currently behind by two drabbles, but will hopefully catch up once this month-long challenge is over.

I love Janto: Sorry I made you sad - hopefully this one will cheer you up again!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Ianto hadn't meant to eavesdrop on Jack's phone call; it was unavoidable.

"That's right." A pause. "No, just the bottom. Extra reinforcement, heavy-duty if possible. It needs to hold up under rigorous use." Another pause while Jack listened.

"What's the largest size?" A brief silence, then, "Seriously? I think that might be a bit too big. What's the next size down?"

Ianto was completely baffled by now.

"Sounds perfect. Can you have it ready by Friday? Splendid. See you then."

As Jack hung up, Ianto asked, "What was that about?"

Jack smirked.

"Can't tell you, it would spoil the surprise."

The End
