Summary: Some Weevils are more troublesome than others.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
Ianto ran his scanner over the Weevil he and Jack had just captured and read the number that had just popped up on the screen.
“Looks like this one’s a repeat offender. We’ve caught him four times in the last eight months.”
“Including this time?” Jack glanced up at his lover from where he was crouched down, fastening the Weevil hand clamps on the sedated alien.
“Yes, this is the fourth time.”
“Huh.” Rolling the creature over, Jack shone his torch on its face. “Oh. It’s Brian.”
“Have you named ALL the Weevils?”
“Of course not, just the ones that are easily identifiable. Be honest, doesn’t this one remind you of Brian Blessed? It’s in the jawline.”
Ianto studied the Weevil. “Well… now that you mention it, there does seem to be a vague resemblance.” It was a bit creepy, in Ianto’s opinion, but it was one of those things that, once seen, couldn’t be unseen. He was probably going to have nightmares now…
“Give me a hand getting him into the SUV. You take his legs. When we get him back to the Hub, I’ll have Owen run blood tests. See if there’s a reason Brian keeps leaving home.”
The End
