Chapter-9
After his call from Victor, Dr. Colin Hughes ran his hand through his hair. To say he was furious did not accurately describe the situation. "What the hell was Michael thinking we can't take anyone new in? Not now!" he yelled angrily. "That treatment of his just destroyed a human life. I will no longer be a part of this!"
Putting his head in his hand Colin Hughes remembered how his long time friend, Michael Steward, came to him with the idea of opening their own health clinic. It was five years after graduation from medical school. The conversation, still crystal clear in his mind.
Colin had been working at A&E and Michael worked for a secret government organization that was involved in medical research. He never knew the name, but,that was the point of secret organizations...them remaining secret.
Now, Hughes and Steward Health Facility was a renowned private medical facility run by long time friends and colleagues Dr. Colin Hughes and Dr. Michael Steward for over three years. Along with other medical treatment, the facility had a reputation of successfully eliminating abnormal sexual behavior pattern in men and women. The program promised to return patients to what society perceived as healthy normal sexual lifestyle.
The lavish and secure facility was fully staffed with nurses, lab techs and other employees that were hand-picked by Dr. Steward. They knew never to question or discuss what occurred within the walls of the small hospital.
Dr Hughes always believed in counseling and other more conventional treatments. If and when those failed he never took away his patients free will to choose and helped them deal with their families to accept their choices. This didn't always sit well with disappointed and angry families. Which then caused most families to seek out his partner, Dr. Steward.
Dr. Steward had became obsessed with curing what he seen as a disease and his secret method of treatment had a higher success rate than Dr. Hughes' who never questioned his friend's methods. He was too overwhelmed being part of new groundbreaking medical technology. That happiness was short lived when he discovered what his friend's secret treatment was.
Dr. Hughes knew he should have left years ago, but who was he fooling, he craved the fame, praise and acknowledgement he received being associated with Dr. Steward as a partner in their renowned facility.
Dr. Colin Hughes cringed inwardly at the thought that his friend was too quick to continue with his unorthodox treatments, without thoroughly investigating what had went wrong during his last failed treatment, That had left his patient in a comatose state and brain dead, which the clinic had to cover-up.

After his call to Dr. Hughes, Victor informed Carl tonight was a no go and that the faculty wouldn't be able to take Wilfred kid tonight. They needed to wait for Dr. Steward.
As Victor and Carl paid their tab, they watched Jack flirt with the gap-tooth lady at their booth, while Wilfred/Ianto sat laughing with his friends discussing the different between rugby and American football.
''It's a pity the poor kid really needs their help.'' Carl sighed as they left.
If Carl and Victor had looked closely they would have seen how Jack was very protective of Ianto, never being to far from his side. They would have noticed how he looked lovingly into his gorgeous Welshman eyes, the way his hand always affectingly touching him and when he thought no one was looking, a wink and smile mouthing, ''I love you.'' To which Ianto smiled in return.
As the night progressed, the team engaged in a friendly game of pool. Rhys and Ianto against Tosh and Owen, while Gwen and Jack cheered them on. Rhys and Ianto were the winners and Tosh and Owen had to buy the next round of drinks. Owen in his usually sarcastic manner insisted Ianto had cheated he had been around Jack too long.
Jack looked at Owen and smirked, "Jealous, Owen? We could always have a threesome.'' He finished the comment with a wink.
"You're a sick man, Harkness!" Owen scolded, causing a loud roar of laugher from the group.
Everyone was having such a great time that no one noticed the pub was closing until the barmaid made the announcement. Due to everyone's inebriated state and since the pub within walking distance of the hub, Jack insisted they would spend the night in their rooms set up for emergency.
As everyone settled into his or her room at the hub, Jack went to see if Myfanwy had returned from her nightly outing so he could close the special skylight used for her comings and goings.
As Jack slept with Ianto wrapped securely in his arms he thought tomorrow they would collect their son and spend the day together as a happy family.
While in Newport, two doctors are involved in a heated confrontation over the other's refusal to accept a new patient (Wilfred/Ianto) into the facility that was schedule to begin treatment.
