Gwen studies her face, jaw tight, searching her eyes. If it hadn't been Sam that brought her here, if he hadn't been standing right here when Suzie told her what she wanted, Gwen would have suspected... God, she doesn't even know what at this point. But she's telling the truth, she really wants to do this and believes it will help and her reasoning is good and solid even if the entire thing is insane and possibly suicidal...

She tries to ignore the voice in the back of her mind reminding her that most Torchwood missions are in some way.

"Alright," she says finally, as if the word pains her to say. Oh God, they just got them out and here she is sending someone else in to be tortured, and how did this become one of their best options? "You can go. Talk to the Vesmier before you go, see if there's anything he can tell you about Thane's mental state... and if there's any way for him to keep in contact with you. If he can, if I tell you to get out, if I tell you anything, you are going to unless doing so is likely to get you killed. Understood?"

She can't be saying this. A part of her doesn't believe it even as the words are coming out of her mouth. She can't be letting someone walk right in there, alone, and allowing him to do absolutely anything he wants with her. This is not her life.
