Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 877: Rattle at
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto and Owen are running an inventory on the armoury.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
“What’s that?” Owen pointed at an object in the armoury that had been puzzling him for as long as he’d been at Torchwood. “It looks like a baby’s rattle, just in a less than cheerful colour scheme.” It was deep mauve patterned with a muddy yellowish-brown.
Ianto sighed. This was why he hated having to work with Owen on any sort of inventory; the medic was constantly interrupting him by poking into everything and asking questions instead of just noting down what Ianto told him to.
“It’s a Murfvan antipersonnel grenade. There should be six in that box. You grip the handle, twist the top ninety degrees clockwise, then throw it as hard as you can, duck and cover. One of those would take out most of the Plas.”
“And they’re stored in here with the other weapons? Are you nuts?”
“Where else would you suggest they be stored for safety?” Ianto raised an enquiring eyebrow.
“The secure vault or something, somewhere no one can get their hands on them!”
“You don’t think the armoury is secure enough? It’s the most secure part of the entire Hub.”
“But what if one of those things goes off?”
“We’ve removed the detonators.”
The End
