"Ianto don't!" Toshiko stepped in front of the Welsh man and tried to stop him.

"I wanna know!" Ianto barged past the scared but determined Toshiko and grabbed the handle. Yanking the fridge door wide open.

He's heart stopped and his blue eyes grey wide in horror as his jaw dropped and he saw.

"That's why there was nothing left on the body, they need to eat!" Toshiko's soft voice seemed to Ianto suddenly harsh and cold. How could she be so calm?

Ianto was frozen in place unable to move, in the few seconds the fridge door was open and it's gory continence exposed, the young Welsh man hated Torchwood, hated his job, hated that facial expression the rest on the team shared, he hated: Gwen, Owen Jack and even Toshiko. How did they live like this? How would he? He hated every part of his life in that moment, but he wouldn't give it up for the world.

"Were food." Tosh continued as Ianto realised his breath and the door swung shut.
