Not that I’m being nosy… Ok, I’m being nosy. Did you get that job? They keep talking like you’re leaving. E-mail me back! You never answer you mobile and you know how Rhys is when I call the flat.

Ok Gwen, seriously. ANSWER MY EMAILS. They’ve assigned me a new partner, and you wouldn’t believe the rumours… are you really working for Torchwood now?

Although I have been transferred, the South Wales Police have agreed to keep my e-mail account active. So for everyone’s information, I can again be reached at my old e-mail. I’m sorry for any e-mails I haven’t received!

Did you not get any of my previous emails? A call would have been splendid, Gwen. What is going on? Where are you? What the hell is ‘special operations’? Just e-mail me already!

Andy

I’m sorry, I haven’t been avoiding you. I’ve been quite busy with the transfer process, and I didn’t get your previous e-mails. The tech team deleted my inbox, I think, before my new boss had a word with them about keeping my account active. How’s the new partner?

Way to dance around the issue. Where are you? Does this have to do with that serial killer? If you don’t want to talk about it over email then ring me.

Andy, DO NOT call the Torchwood emergency number to find me!

YES, I got a new job, and Special Operations is EXACTLY what you think it is.

I’ll call you when things settle down a bit.

I promise.

Sorry!

Don’t worry about calling me then.

If Special Ops is what I think it is, I’m sure I’ll see you around.

Have fun. Hope it’s worth it.

I enjoyed reading that! I am a sucker for epistolary things. And I think you did well showing Andy's feelings on the subject.

Thank you! I am too. I had so much fun writing it, because I've wanted to do email correspondence with characters for a while. I like the limitation of portraying a character only through their personal writing.

I felt a little strange about writing Andy, because I don't know his character very well. But I'm glad you feel some of him successfully came through!
