Summary: The Brigadier knows all of Jack's tricks.

Sergeant Benton knocked forcefully before entering.

"Yes, yes." The Brigadier returned Benton's salute. "What is it?"

"A situation has come up, sir."

"What sort of situation?" the Brigadier asked carefully.

"It's Captain Harkness."

"What's the man done this time?"

Benton stiffened, avoiding the Brigadier's eyes before blandly stating, "He's dead, sir."

"Oh, is that all?" The relief was evident in his eyes. "I was concerned he was flirting with an ambassador again."

"But..."

"Just prop him in a chair in the back, he knows better than to think he can avoid this meeting that easily."

Ha! Fantastic! That's given me a good chortle! :-)

Nice to hear from you, too!

Typo: blandly stating, "he's dead, sir." - need a capital H on he's. :-)

Ohh, thanks for the catch *grumbles about stupid English rules*

:) Playing dead seems like a brilliant idea sometimes

I love it - it's a brilliant idea, and so very, very Jack. :-)

He's a sneaky one, our Captain!
