“Why do you need a day pass? You've not even been here two weeks and you want a day out?” Toshiko asked Jack, pushing her glasses backwards with a finger from where they had slipped to the tip of her nose.
“I just need a day out,” Jack replied, giving her his hundred watt grin.
“There has to be more to it than that,” Toshiko pushed. “how much pain are you experiencing at the moment?”
“Pain? What has that got to do with anything?” Jack asked her, his smile turning into a frown.
“You tell me?” Toshiko countered. “You're the one wanting a day pass after less than two weeks in here.”
“Oh I get it,” Jack said with a loud chuckle. “you think I want to score some painkillers from somewhere?”
“Well, do you?” Toshiko asked him bluntly.
“No. My leg hurts no more today than it did when I first came here,” Jack replied. “what I need is a day out, lunch out in the real world, drinkable coffee.”
“On your own?” Toshiko asked him, chewing on the end of her pen, determined to get the Captain to admit the real reason.
“Sure,” Jack shrugged, his face a picture of innocence. Almost.
“It's time to tell the truth Jack, or I can't help you,” Toshiko said, giving him a sweet smile.
“Okay, okay, I want to have lunch with a … friend,” Jack sighed. “someone I want to get to know better.”
“And would that friend be the brother of a certain person here?” Toshiko asked. “Ianto Jones?”
“If you must know, yes!” Jack exclaimed. “Do you have any objections to us having lunch?”
“I've seen the way you look at him, and don't deny it Jack,” Toshiko answered. “do you really think it's wise, to get involved with him?”
“Who said anything about getting involved?” Jack asked her with a smile. “All we want to do is have a nice lunch somewhere and talk, where's the harm in that? And, I am here voluntarily, I could just leave if I wanted to now.”
“Okay Jack, you win,” Toshiko sighed resignedly. “you can have a pass for Friday and before you say anything, yes, it's the earliest I can arrange it for. I'm sure you can wait another two days?”
“If I must,” Jack moaned, using his cane to help him get back onto his feet from the chair he was sat on. “Thanks Tosh.”
“That's Doctor Sato to you,” she told him what a smile as he left her office.
Jack made his way back to his room and lay on his bed knowing that he had almost an hour until the daily group therapy session, closing his eyes he used the heel of his hand to try and massage away the pain in his leg.
Ianto Jones arrived half way through their therapy session and Jack found himself wishing away the minutes until it finished so he could tell the other man the good news and the second Toshiko announced it so he made his way across the room to his side.
“Friday, lunch just you and I,” Jack told the younger man with a smile.
“After I've seen Rhiannon, I know it doesn't look like she knows whether I'm here or not but I can't miss a whole day,” Ianto replied.
“That's fine by me,” Jack agreed readily, just half an hour alone with Ianto Jones would be enough for now, but he hoped it would be for longer. “I'll leave you alone with her, we can make the arrangements when she goes down to the yard.”
“Thanks Jack,” Ianto smiled and turned his attention back to his sister to talk to her about anything and everything in the hope that something would bring her out of her state.
