Summary: Jack is making sure everyone hears him loud and clear.


'Where's that costings report?' Jack yelled out from his office.

'Under the pile of other pointless crap you asked for!' Owen yelled back from his desk.

'I can't find it!'

Owen groaned. 'Look harder! It's there!'

'Don't worry!' Jack shouted. 'I found it!'

Owen huffed and rolled his eyes as he swiveled his mouse to wake the computer screen back up. 'Course you did,' he muttered. 'Buried under a pile of stuff you should've done last week,' he added, earning a giggle from Gwen and Tosh.

'Not now!' Jack yelled. Owen's eyebrows knitted in confusion at the reply, trying to make sense of it until he saw Ianto step out of Jack's office, looking equally bamboozled.

'What did you do to put him in such a bad mood?' Ianto asked, assuming Owen was naturally to blame. 'I only asked if he wanted me to fetch us an early lunch.'

'I didn't do anything.'

'So why is he all grumpy and shouty, then?'

'Oh that? Sorry, should've told you. Burst an eardrum when that weevil slammed him into the sewer wall this morning. Can't hear a damn thing. He's been yelling ever since.'

'Didn't you tell him our hearing wasn't affected?'
