Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Ianto’s seriously delayed on his way back from London.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Ianto hated traffic jams. He didn’t know what was causing the hold-up, but he’d been stuck on the motorway returning from London for almost thirty minutes; all lanes were at a standstill. It was maddening; he’d already witnessed several incidences of road rage, but wasn’t about to succumb to the frustration himself. Instead, he pulled out his phone and called Jack.
“Sorry, cariad, I’m going to be late, I’m stuck in traffic.” He glanced at the stationary cars surrounding him and sighed.
“I know a way to pass the time,” Jack replied.
“No, Jack, we’re not having phone sex!”
“Spoilsport.”
The End

Date: 2014-09-06 10:44 am (UTC)Ianto only phoned to see if someone (Tosh) could find out what was causing the hold-up and if he could get around it by leaving the motorway at the next exit...
Thank you!

Date: 2014-09-06 08:45 pm (UTC)Me too, but I don't go out much and when I do, I don't go far, so I usually only get stuck in little traffic jams.

Date: 2014-09-07 10:46 am (UTC)With Ianto's luck, he'd have people he knew on one side and undercover police on the other of he gave in to Jack. Thankfully, Ianto is sensible and can resist temptation.
Thank you!

Thank you!
