Here you go (at last). 180 words. If you don't like, feel free to ask for another. XD

Try To Keep Up

“So,” Jack said eventually. “Not dangerous, then.”

“Shut. Up.” Owen told him flatly.

For a few minutes, Jack was silent again, looking down at the others, working frantically to remotely disarm the device now embedded in the stationary lift. At last he sighed, asking, “Why did you have to drop it?”

He could feel Owen tense against his back, growling, “I didn’t do it on bloody purpose, alright?”

“We’re still stuck here,” Jack pointed out, back to back with Owen on the lift and both of them doing their best not to move in case they blew themselves up by accident. “That’s the last time I believe you when you say you know what you’re doing.”

“We found another one just the same while you were gone,” Owen protested. “It was easy to disarm.”

“Who did it?” Jack asked, and Owen paused, then admitted, “Tosh.”

“There you go,” Jack told him, spreading his arms in a gesture of revelation, and nearly knocking Owen off the lift as he did so, “Tosh makes everything look easy. That’s why I hired her.”
