"Finally!" Owen said, as Jack, Gwen and Tosh left the Hub to check on reports of Weevil activity in the Butetown area.

He crossed to his computer console and powered up, immediately accessing an on-line gaming site.
"Let the games begin." He said, putting his feet up on the desk and resting the keyboard in his lap.

Two hours later he was still engrossed in his game as the rest of the team arrived back at the Hub.
"Hey Owen, what are you up to?" Jack asked.
" Two million, four hundred and twenty." Owen replied, concentrating on the screen. "No make that fifty, got the bugger."
The screen went blank.
"No!!" Owen shouted, jabbing frantically at the keyboard "You can’t do this to me, that was my highest score!"

Jack appeared from behind Owen's CPU, holding up the power lead.
"Game over buddy." He said, with a grin. "Now back to work."
"Ever heard of the saying 'All work and no play makes Owen a dull boy'?" Owen grumbled.
"I kinda prefer 'All play and no work makes Jack one pissed off boss'," came the reply.
