The bright, golden flash of a Rift event… What did the ordinary people of Cardiff, the office and shop workers, the teachers and janitors, the doctors and police officers, the children and the elderly, think such flashes were when they caught sight of one from the corner of their eye? Did they dismiss it as a reflection or refraction from a window, the headlights of a car, the beam of a torch, turned on then off again? Did they think about it at all, or just ignore it?
 

Torchwood couldn’t ignore it, of course. A flash like that meant something had just come through the Rift, and it was up to the team to find it, keep it out of the hands of people who wouldn’t know what it was, who might misuse it, or come to harm because of it.

 

Ianto and Jack looked at each other with resigned smiles. They were supposed to be going to see a movie, but now it looked like their plans had just changed. Their phones went off at the same time, Tosh contacting then with the information from her Rift monitor programme.

 

Ianto sighed. “Good thing we hadn’t bought the tickets yet.”

 
 

The End

That's true, but I think I'd have trouble remaining so sanguine.
