The rest of the team had gone out on a retrieval, leaving Ianto behind to man the Hub, which was fine by him. It was a cold, rainy December day, the kind of day much better spent indoors, and he had more than enough to keep him occupied without being expected to spend half the morning trekking through muddy fields. Let his colleagues experience the bracing fresh air of the Welsh countryside; he was staying where it was warm and dry.

 
He was just thinking of making himself a coffee when his phone rang.
 

“Jack! Is everything okay?”
 

“Everything’s fine,” Jack assured him. “Mostly.”
 

“Did you catch our visitor?”
 

“Yep! No problem with that at all; it seems pretty tame, came right up to us.”
 

“Right, good. I imagine you’ll be on your way back shortly then.”
 

“Ah, well, that was the plan.”
 

“I’m sensing a ‘but’. What aren’t you telling me?” Ianto didn’t like being suspicious, but sometimes it was warranted.
 

“Could you drive out to meet us and bring the spare set of keys with you?”
 

“What did you do?”
 

“It wasn’t me!” Jack protested. “It was the alien!”
 

“What happened?”
 

“It ate the keys. We’re locked out.”
