This takes place straight after the Categories Of Life. I want this to happen. I liked Vera, so I was kinda pissed at the ending of the episode. This isn't a full episode, just a small one-shot, basically my hopes for the next episode.

Doctor Vera Juarez let out a scream that could have shattered glass. She had never felt pain like this before and in a few minutes, she would never feel anything again. Her face was soaking with sweat and her hair a tangled mess. She tried to get up, pulling herself up by the shelves that held the people in category 3 but the bullet wounds were excruciating and she just couldn't handle it. She fell back onto the floor and started crying even more. The container in which she now lay was getting warmer and warmer with every passing second, soon the brain-dead people surrounding her would burst into flames and then she too, would ignite.

Rex nearly dropped the video camera when Vera screamed. He hit the door of the container with the palm of his hand, BANG BANG BANG, in a useless attempt to rescue his lover. A whimpering sound came from behind the module. Angry, sad and confuzed, Rex walked around to the back and saw a bald man pushing buttons and turning dials. Sensing that he was up to no good, Rex Shouted, "HEY, YOU!" The creepy man turned to face Rex and gave him a guilty look. Rex ran up to the manager of the overflow camp and punched him in the jaw, he was unconscious instantly.

Another faint scream came from the yellow container. Taking this as a sign that she was on the verge of death, Rex looked at the control box and sighed in despair. There was so many buttons and dials, she would be dead by the time he worked out how to unlock the door. He could hear her cries of pain. Rex punched the control box as hard as he could. His hand broke through the cover which exposed its insides, he grabbed as may wires he could fit in his hand and pulled with all his might. Sparks flew in all directions and he could hear the sound of metal against metal. He ran back to the door and saw that it was unlocked.

The people surrounding Vera were alight but she was still untouched by the flame. The heat was almost unbearable in the room. Rex went over to Vera who was currently crying. Mascara ran down her face and she was covered in blood. He swung his arms under hers and pulled her out of the container. They were a few feet from the door when everything in the container burst into flames. He slammed the door shut and ran to get Vera some help.

When Vera regained consciousness, she looked around and saw that she was in a Hospital room. By her side, holding her hand Was Rex. He had saved her. She squeezed his hand and he woke up slowly. He grunted as he stretched.

"Hey, you're awake," Said Rex, "What happened?"

"He...he was hiding people, he kept them hidden away and didn't feed or clean them."

"And that explains why he shot you, twice?"

"I said I was going to report him for how he was treating the patients and then he grabbed me with his creepy hands. I pushed him away, he snapped, and grabbed a soldiers gun."

"Christ."

"Yeah," She moaned in pain.

"Not bad for your first day of Torchwood," laughed Rex.

"When can I get outta here?

"Couple of days, you need to rest. And you need to walk with crutches for a week or so. So no field work."

"Oh! rats! what will I do?" She said in a sarcastic tone. They both laughed.
