Owen and Ianto were busy carrying the large metal drum between them. It only looked like a drum, but was actually a very dangerous piece of alien tech, which had been tampered with by some unsuspecting souls, who now lay dead inside the computer repair shop.

'Oi, where do you think you're going with that?' Detective Swanson demanded, marching up to the scene.  

'It's ours now,' Owen replied.

'How did you get in? This has been barricaded off. Police access only.'

'We're better than the police,' Owen said. 'Not our fault if your blues and twos can't tell their own.'

'That's evidence,' she insisted.

'Anyone starts tampering with this and you'll have even more dead bodies on your hands,' Ianto added.

'Stupid coppers. Come on, DS Jones,' Owen said, continuing to march them toward the SUV.

Kathy was incensed. How dare Torchwood walk all over her crime scene.

'Impersonating a police office is an offense, you know,' she said.

'Yeah, and what are you gonna do about it? Arrest us?' Owen yelled.

As they were cramped in the back of the car, handcuffed, Ianto couldn't help himself.

'What are you gonna do, arrest us?' he mocked.

'Shut up,' Owen growled.
