The next three days had been a blur to Jack. Cara and Simon had fled the hospital and couldn't be found. Her flat and bank accounts had been cleared out days before the attack at the hospital; leaving no clues to their whereabouts. Even a search at B. Edwards Funeral Parlour (the last known location of the vampire's nest) had turned up nothing. And because of their natural vampire ability the CCTV was completely useless. Tosh was searching all incoming police reports on unusual deaths or disappearances but so far nothing was had come up.

The vampire's murders had led to lots of messy problems. Tosh had settled on a possible Ebola outbreak as the cover story for the victims at the hospital. The bodies had to be cremated as well to ensure no spreading of the disease (and to cover-up the condition of the victims). Even with all of the official documentation there were several victim families who refused to accept the official cover story and had threatened possible future litigation.

With Mitchell's help, Jack had decided Ianto's fate. Jack couldn't stand the thought of cremating Ianto with the other victims nor would he have him placed in a cryogenic chamber. Mitchell explained to him the possible complications with him allowing Ianto to finish his transformation. Young vampires were extremely child-like in their demands for attention. Their hunger was almost insatiable during the first few years which often resulted in their early demise.

Mitchell was unsure if Ianto would also be burdened with the madness that accompanied empaths that had been turned. He explained that before she was a vampire Cara had appeared to be an average person. She had been a kind and friendly girl before Herrick's embrace; showing sympathy to the families that came to the cafeteria. But, she had also never shown any true level of empathic ability.

He also clarified that even though he –Jack - was immortal, Ianto should not be encouraged to feed off of him. That the more he fed on blood the less human he would become. The only time he should ever be given blood was for a life threatening injury only.

Mitchell said that Ianto would be able to eat and drink normal foods but, he would have to eat more frequently and consume more proteins to compensate for the blood. Jack dreaded trying to force the young man to give up his vegetarian diet; between the cannibals and the space whale case the young man's diet had become quite restricted. But he hoped that Ianto would listen to reason.

During the conversation Mitchell had confessed to him what they were trying to do might not work. It often took a vampire months to get clean from blood-drinking. And to his knowledge no one had ever tried to prevent a newborn vampire from feeding before. Although he wished them well, he stressed for Jack not to be surprised if it didn't work-out exactly like he hoped it would. A lot of their ultimate success would be based on Ianto's attitude and cooperation.

Before the team returned to Cardiff, Jack had assured Mitchell that he and his roommates were safe from anyone outside of Torchwood 3 ever learning about their unique life-styles. And as long as they tried to stay out of the public eye he would try to ensure their safety.
