Drabble: Help Wanted

Title: Help Wanted

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 389: Rats at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Ianto and Jack have to be very careful in selecting Ianto’s new assistant.

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

With him doing so much fieldwork, Jack had decided Ianto needed an assistant, someone to handle the general day-to-day running of the Hub, cleaning, and routine clerical work.

With that in mind, half a dozen suitable candidates had been selected and approached, and interviews were underway.

Jack and Ianto had made a list of requirements for the job, such as excellent spelling, familiarity with filing systems, and basic handyman skills as there were always repairs that needed doing, but as their latest interviewee fled screaming from the room, Ianto picked up the clipboard and added one more.

Must like rats.

The End

Yeah, rats are a part of Torchwood life!

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

Thank you! Torchwood personnel have to be able to deal with a lot of things!

You'd think the potential alien threats would be a bit more off-putting than the occasional rat, though. But, then, I like rats, so maybe that's just me. ^.^

[bk_forever]

Well, the new person will be Hub-based so they'll see rats more often than aliens.

I like rats too =)

Hee hee, and how! Plus, if rats are an issue, then they're in for a lot more than that working for Torchwood, admin role or not!

[bk_forever]

Yeah, and you can't get away from rats anyway. There's Owen's lab rats for starters!

Thank you!

If they can handle the rats, they have a chance of working up to the bigger stuff ;)

Thank you!

rats are only the tip and visible part of TW ...

[bk_forever]

Very true. If they can't handle a rat, they've got no chance with a Weevil.

Thank you.
