“MUAHAHAHAHAHA!” a deep voice cackled right behind Tosh, making her shriek and jump to her feet, backing into her desk and almost knocking her keyboard to the floor.
“Owen! Don’t do that!”
“What? I’m a zombie, the least you can do is let me practice my evil laugh. I’m getting it ready for Halloween.”
“Fine, practice away, just not on me. You almost made me delete the new security protocols I’m working on! That would’ve been two months’ work down the drain!”
“Okay, sorry! How was I to know you’d react like that?”
Tosh blushed, “I wasn’t expecting it. You know how focused I get when I’m working.”
“Yeah, my bad. I’ll go freak Ianto out instead.”
“You do that.” Tosh slid her keyboard back into place and sat down, trying to find her place in the code she was checking for errors.
Time passed, everyone left for the night, and the Hub powered down. Tosh knew she should head out too, but there wasn’t much left to check, might as well get it finished.
A sibilant whispering came from the darkness. Tosh didn’t look up. “Shut up, Owen! You don’t scare me!”
Drooping, the ghost slunk away in defeat.
The End
