Ianto sighed. “Apparently the Rift likes playing hide and seek. How are we supposed to find something made of wood in a lumber yard?”
“Maybe it’ll be obvious,” said Gwen, ever the optimist. “I mean, all the wood here is raw so we’re looking for something that isn’t.”
“Which could be right at the top of one of the woodpiles, or even underneath it for all we know.” Owen was the biggest pessimist on the team, so everyone simply ignored his doom and gloom. He wouldn’t be happy unless his prediction turned out to be right, and then he’d complain the whole time.
“It came through the Rift, so it’s soaked with Rift energy. All we have to do is use our scanners; it might take a while, but we’ll find whatever it is.” Tosh was all logic and practicality.
As for Jack… “Isn’t this brilliant? It’s like a game of hunt the thimble! We should split up to search, and whoever finds it gets a prize.” Torchwood’s leader was practically bouncing with eagerness.
“Someone’s had too much coffee this morning,” Ianto muttered. “What does the winner get? Or shouldn’t I ask?”
“A weekend off.”
Everyone rushed off to search.
The End
