Everyone at the Hub was thoroughly bored. Something needed to happen or someone would end up bringing alien body parts out of storage, namely, Jack. Tosh was actually relieved when the Rift monitor sounded. There was finally something to keep Jack from wandering off to find alien body parts…again.


The crew found the person who had fell through the Rift and at first thought the person dead. When they came closer, they saw that the person's eyelids had moved just a tiny bit and her fingers involuntarily twitched. A dark haired girl simply laid there, covered in blood and bruises, barely conscious. She moaned when Owen went to check her vitals. The girl had clearly been being held captive before she fell through the Rift. There was even a strange collar around her neck. No one could see any possible way of getting the collar off, until Jack pulled something out of one of his pockets and carefully wiggled it in the collar's lock. The collar then fell away to reveal that it had cut into her neck so that she was bruised where the collar had been and that it had quite literally cut into her skin, blood trickling from cuts in her neck.

"She has to go to a hospital," Owen said.

"I don't want her to go to a hospital," Jack said suddenly.

"She's got to go if she's going to live. So, it's either she lives or she dies. She needs proper medical treatment, Jack."

"You don't understand, Owen. She can't go. She'll be so afraid of the doctors that they won't even be able to touch her in order to treat her."

"She's too weak to even try fighting anyone, Jack."

"She can't be treated at the Hub?"

"Even if she could, she probably wouldn't live."

Jack was silent.

"You want her to live, don't you? It's pretty damned obvious that you know her."

Ianto went to Jack. "Jack? She does need a hospital.

"Ok, but I don't want doctors other than Owen near her unless it's absolutely necessary," Jack said.

"It will be," Owen snapped.

"Owen," Tosh hissed. "You could be nicer."

"Excuse me, but he doesn't seem to get the point. That kid is going to die with out medical help."

"I think he realizes that!"


The girl woke up at the hospital. She looked at Owen. She stared at him for sometime. She had to be no younger than fifteen. Owen didn't say anything to her.

"Where's my daddy?" she finally asked. Her voice was so quiet that Owen barely heard her.

"I don't know who your daddy is," Owen said, not looking at her.

She stared at him. "I want my daddy."

"Like I said, I don't know him."

She frowned. "But you do know him."

"I don't."

Jack came in from talking to Ianto. He had been talking to her about the girl.

She saw him and her eyes lit up. "Daddy!"

Owen looked at Jack. "I'm not asking. Can you keep her quiet so I can treat her properly?"

Jack went over to her and quietly spoke with her. Her voice was very weak, but she talked to Jack.
