Rescuer

He was the most beautiful man Toshiko had ever seen.

Outlined in bright light in the doorway, he made her think of gods and heroes. A saviour in a greatcoat.

When they talked in the interrogation hall, she was distracted by his friendly smile. How long was it since she had seen anyone smile?

She had trouble breathing, or even concentrating. He was not a lawyer, not military, so how could he offer her freedom? Was this a trick to get more information? Was he one of her captors?

No, he was something else.

He was something called "Torchwood".
