Torchwood drabble: Research | Jack, Gwen | G

Title: Research
Author: [livejournal.com profile] rustydog
Characters: Jack, Gwen
Rating/warnings: G, spoilers for 1x02 Day One
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] tw100 challenge #173 Notes.



Jack sent Gwen out for food, then commenced spying on her work.

The papers scattered about were marked all over with highlighter pen and messy, penciled notes that seemed to connect documents with progressive references. Photographs, an obituary, even a book report...

How could this possibly be related to the alien they needed to neutralize?

A starred paragraph in an amateur-looking newsletter caught his eye. School singing contest: Carys Fletcher, first prize. Jack pictured the girl in their cell, a bit younger, standing nervously on a dark stage with a poorly-tuned piano ringing behind her...

Oh. Now that was clever.

Making links is definitely what she was best at *g*

Awwwww. That may have been the moment when Jack knew he'd made the right choice.

Aww, yeah. It was certainly a change in direction from what he'd gotten used to, I'm sure!
