Title: It’s Escaped!

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Owen

Rating: PG

Written For: Challenge 288, Week 4 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: One of Owen’s specimens has gone missing.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: Title used was Has Anyone Seen a Peruvian Wart?

Owen stared in horror. The lid had somehow come off the specimen jar and, predictably, its erstwhile contents were nowhere in sight.

“Crap! That’s all I need! I’ll be looking for the little bugger for the rest of the day,” he groaned.

A thorough search of the autopsy bay proved fruitless. Honestly, how could something that small move so fast?

Owen sighed heavily. He would have to extend his search, and that meant telling the others. Not an appealing thought. There was no choice though; they couldn’t let it escape.

“Guys? We have a problem. I’ve lost the Peruvian Wart.”

Owen was definitely a bit careless, he didn't think it could get out of the jar. He must not have put the lid on tightly enough and warts are sneaky. The Hub can be put into lockdown to prevent it getting away, but it's very small and the Hub is a very big place.

Thank you
