Summary: Jack explains 'Jack's Law' to Owen
Author's Note: Written for [community profile] tw100 's 

“Owen, what did you do?”

“Nothing!”

“Owen!”

“Honest Jack, all I did was flick the lever.”

“Then why did the coffee machine burst into flames?”

“Well, you know, Murphy’s Law and all that...”

“Murphy’s Law?”

“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible moment.”

“I’m more of a believer in Jack’s Law.”

“What’s Jack’s Law?”

“No one will ever be stupid enough to expect Jack to go without his morning coffee for fear of what he might do.”

“Ummm, Jack?”

“Yes, Owen?”

“How about I go pick you up some coffee?”

“That’s an excellent idea, Owen.”

Owen definitely could, and then would be so nervous about what Jack might do he'd go get coffee

especially considering he isn't exactly on Jack's good list to begin, what with the repeated disobeying and nearly destroying everything.

that 'shooting your boss and leading a mutiny' thing can leave quite the black mark on one's record....

not to mention the whole 'nearly destroying humanity' thing.
