“Doctor Sato, there's something I want to try,” Ianto told the woman, watching his sister sitting quietly over by the window with Jack at her side. “I want to show her that box that she had when she was admitted.”
“How many times do I have to ask you to call me Tosh?” Toshiko said with a smile.
“It doesn't seem right,” Ianto told her. “now, about that box?”
“I'm really not sure that's a good idea, you remember the effect it had on her when she arrived?” Toshiko answered.
“I want to try, Jack told me that when I was sick and he was speaking to Rhiannon she was fixated on something in the nurses station,” Ianto replied. “I couldn't think what it might be until last night and then it suddenly came to me, I think she needs to see the contents.”
“If she does … this could go very wrong Ianto, she could end up back in the secure unit,” Toshiko warned him.
“But it could also have the opposite effect, bringing her out of it, I want my sister back Tosh,” Ianto told her sadly. “and if there is even the remotest chance that this might work, then I need to try it.”
“Okay, I can see your reasoning but you only thought about this last night,” Toshiko replied. “why don't you think on it for the rest of the day and if you still want to go ahead then we can do it later, when everyone are back in their rooms for the night. Have you spoken to Jack about this?”
“Nope, not yet,” Ianto admitted, even though it had been Jack that had initially sparked it in his mind.
“It might help to get someone else's opinion,” she suggested. “I can give Jack a day pass, you could go somewhere and talk.”
Ianto nodded. “Can I ask you something, about Jack?”
“You know I have to protect patient confidentiality?” Toshiko responded.
“It's not about his treatment,” Ianto added. “I know it's coming up to the end of his time and I know that you don't like people to go back to their home if their alone so ...”
“Spit it out then!” Toshiko exclaimed with a knowing chuckle.
“I've asked Jack to come and stay with me, would that be okay?” Ianto finally blurted out.
“I have to admit that I haven't missed just how close you two have gotten,” Toshiko smiled. “you might want to take more care clearing up after yourselves next time you have a little fun in the cleaners room.”
Ianto felt himself blush bright red as it dawned on him what she meant, the image of the condom they had dropped on the floor so clearly in his mind. The condom that in their haste to leave they had left lying in the spot where it landed.
“Don't worry, I overheard one of the cleaners blaming one of the others for using it as his 'knocking shop' and wouldn't believe his denial,” Toshiko said, her grin widening. “and your reaction just proves that I was right in my assumption.”
“Oh shit!” Ianto muttered, wishing a hole would swallow him up right there and then.
“Sorry, no-one else has any idea, I promise,” Toshiko said, apologising for embarrassing the young man. “and in answer to your question, if you think you can handle having the Captain around 24/7 then that's fine by me. He needs someone to keep an eye on him, make sure he sticks to his current meds and doesn't fall back into his old ways.”
“I can do that,” Ianto told her sincerely. “feeling the blush still burning on his cheeks and doing his best to ignore it. “I want him clean too, if we're to make a go of things.”
“You're really that serious about each other?” Toshiko asked.
“I'd like us to be,” Ianto smiled.
“Then yes, I think being with you will be good for him,” Toshiko agreed. “I will go and sort out the day pass for Jack while you go and tell him what your planning.”
“Thank you Tosh, I really think this could get some kind of … a reaction or something from Rhiannon,” Ianto said.
“I just hope it's not a bad one,” Toshiko sighed. “I will make sure there is a nurse on hand, just in case we have to sedate her.”
Ianto nodded. “I understand.”
“Good, now go and see Jack and your sister and I'll bring the day pass over to him shortly,” Toshiko instructed and headed off to her office.
