A/N: Double drabble.
“You SHOT him?” Ianto stared at Tosh in disbelief. “You shot JACK?”
“I didn’t mean to! I thought he was the alien! I heard a noise, I turned around, and there was something big coming at me, so I shot it! I don’t know it was Jack until he fell down and said ‘OW’. It’s not like I shot him on purpose! And I did apologise.”
“For all the good that does him right now.” Ianto looked down at their fallen leader, not dead, but not in the best shape either. At least he was currently unconscious, so he wasn’t actively suffering for the moment.
“I wouldn’t have shot him if he’d said something instead of just running at me like that,” Tosh said reasonably. “He could have said ‘Don’t shoot, it’s me’ or something like that. I mean, what was I supposed to think?”
“Well, at least it’s Jack, so no permanent harm has been done, but we still have to bag the alien, and we can’t just leave Jack by himself. If the alien shows up and eats him, then we’ll really have a problem.”
Tosh sighed. “I suppose we’ll just have to wait here until he heals.”
The End
