"Fine,""I'll be in the infirmary if you need me."
As much as he'd actually liked to take that offer, Ben probably wouldn't need her until another day. Also, it might be better to grant minds to smooth. Lately, people had started to ask him a lot of questions - too many for his liking. They had to understand that he was the one to be trusted, for he had everyone's best interest at heart. Not trusting him would mean not trusting Jacob either, and they had no idea of the consequences of that, not even himself.
Wordlessly, Ben watched Juliet leave, and did not turn toward the cell until she was out of sight. Ben could only see silhouettes from this angle but that, by implication, meant he couldn't be seen as well. He would grant their guests another day to smooth their minds as well before sending someone to take care of them.
Eventually, he left the location, too.
*** Ben exits ***

The gentleman in the same cell as them did as he was ordered. He stood up, towering in height over the two frightened girls as he was escorted out of the cell to god knows where. Harley wondered what they were going to do with him - with them. Suddenly, everyone in the room had left and quietness blanketed their cell. Harley had felt an off-putting energy ever since they were dragged to this place, as if a mysterious cloud hovered around them. She wasn't sure what it was exactly, but she felt the overwhelming feeling rise within her chest as it began to tighten with panic. "This is all my fault," Harley stood to her feet which carried her to the bars of their confinement, "If I hadn't have dragged you into making a break for it, you wouldn't be in here with me," Harley's lower lip quivered in anger at herself as she shook the bars for a brief moment of frustration. There was no way these stable bars were going to budge, they were stuck. "I'm so sorry...," Harley's tone of anger broke into a slight whisper as tears began to form. She wasn't just sorry to Vivian for her sudden act of irrationality, she was sorry to Lillian. What they began to build between them was now lost to the wind, all because she couldn't defend herself. Harley felt that she officially had failed and was afraid to know what their fates entailed within this unknown place, full of unknown and mysterious individuals.

"This is all my fault," Vivian perked up as soon as Harley started to blame herself. "If I hadn't have dragged you into making a break for it, you wouldn't be in here with me, I'm so sorry...," Getting up she moved over to Harley and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, it is not your fault I'm here." Vivian gave her a sweet smile, "I made the choice to join you because I thought it was a good idea. So, whatever happens, we'll go through it together. Come on, it sounds like they walked off. Let's just sit down and take some calming breaths."

Vivian was getting a little restless, they had been locked in this place for some time. No one had come in to check on them and that guy never came back. Vivian knew she had to remain calm, mostly because Harley was on the brink of mental collapse. She already blamed herself for what had happened but Vivian would never place blame on her. She had chosen to join in and try to run and now they would both pay for it. "You feeling any better?"

"You feeling any better?"
Silence had fallen over their cell as Harley had stewed in her aches and frustrations for far too long. 'Address them and let them go' was what she had always learned to do with the negative clouds in her life. Yet, this was more than just a cloud but more of a smoke monster. Dwelling in the pit of despair was not going to help her or Vivian. So when Vivian finally spoke up, it was like a hand was reaching into the pit that Harley began to grab at in desperation of being pulled out and grounded back in reality once more.
"I'm okay. Tired of feeling sorry for myself. You?" Harley asked, she was drained of energy yet was able to offer her friend back a slice of comfort in conversation, "They haven't been back to check on us for hours. What do you think they're going to do with us?" Harley asked for Vivian's opinion as her gaze scanned the bars of the cell, slightly rusted with age. She wondered how long these people had been living in this island colony for.

"I'm okay. Tired of feeling sorry for myself. You?" Vivian nodded her head.
"Me too, I'm doing okay."
"They haven't been back to check on us for hours. What do you think they're going to do with us?" Vivian wasn't sure what they had planned but she feared the worst. They didn't seem friendly and Vivian had no idea what happened to the others.
"I don't know."

"I don't know."
Harley peered upward at the ceiling of the cell and took in every rusted detail of their confinement. She would compare the situation they have found themselves in to the Twilight Zone, a bizarre occurrence that seemed too far out of this world to be true. Harley had already tried pinching herself awake one too many times until realizing that this really wasn't a bad dream. She brought herself back to her feet to stand, as her back ached from sitting for far too long, realizing just how much stress had been collecting within her lower back and body.
"I'd suggest we find a way out of this place, but clearly that didn't work the last time," Harley sighed as the corner of her mouth formed a half frown, turning to Vivian, "When we were at our camp, I found something in the ocean. An old, withered object with a symbol on it. I showed it to Derek because, ya know, he's smart and knows stuff and he didn't think much of it. So neither did I. But," Harley began as her curious tone grew rather concerned, "When we were running away from these people trying to escape, I saw the same symbol on the walls of one of the buildings. Crazy, I know but...," Harley nervously chuckled before looking Vivian dead in the eyes with all seriousness, "...Do you think it's connected?" Harley looked away as she walked towards the bars, grabbing onto them with both hands as she stared out of the cell in deep thought, wondering what kind of operation they were running.

"I'd suggest we find a way out of this place, but clearly that didn't work the last time," Vivian just gave her a small smile, escaping might not be the best choice.
"Where would we go from here? I don't know where we are," Vivian moved a little closer and place a tender hand on Harley's arm. "I think we should stay put for now, if they wanted to kill us they would have by now." Vivian hoped that was the case.
"When we were at our camp, I found something in the ocean. An old, withered object with a symbol on it.

"Possible, I mean we don't know much about this island. I don't think we should mention it to anyone else, just in case."

"Possible, I mean we don't know much about this island. I don't think we should mention it to anyone else, just in case."
Harley nodded in silent agreement as her mind pondered the million wonders and questions she had about this mysterious island that they knew next to nothing about. It was best that they kept what they already knew to themselves for now, the less they posed as a flight risk for any other survivors that were captured the better. Pivoting her body around to face Vivian, Harley slid down to the floor. Leaning her back against the bars of their confinement, she wrapped her arms around her legs as she buried her knees into her chest, "When I had a sack on my head, I don't know where I was, but I could feel others around me. Whispering about some guy named 'Ben'. They make him sound like some sort of 'Wizard Of Oz' or something," Harley commented in a lower voice as her inquiring gaze tilted up at Vivan. She knew Vivian had no sort of answers for her, yet she needed to get as much off of her chest as possible in case the worst scenario would happen to her, "Did you hear anything strange when we were separated?"

"When I had a sack on my head, I don't know where I was, but I could feel others around me. Whispering about some guy named 'Ben'. They make him sound like some sort of 'Wizard Of Oz' or something," Vivian heard the name Ben as well and she guessed he was the guy in charge here. She wondered if they would be able to meet this guy and maybe find a way out of here? "Did you hear anything strange when we were separated?"
"Just the same thing you did, a guy named Ben and a lot of whispers I couldn't make out." Vivian's family was never far off from her mind, she thought about her wife and children every day. She wanted to make it off this island and back to them, she wasn't ready to accept she might never see them again. "I hope we get a chance to speak for ourselves, to explain that we mean no one here harm. They must know we crashed here," Vivian sighed.

"I hope we get a chance to speak for ourselves, to explain that we mean no one here harm. They must know we crashed here,"
"I hope so too," Harley's tone lowered to almost a whisper. Although her words pleaded for hope, her demeanor shed nothing but misery as she dropped her gaze towards the floor. Her arms still wrapped tightly around her knees, she couldn't help but to think if she would ever see her sister again. Harley felt as if things had been finally going in the right direction before life decided to sprinkle in a twist, and not the good kind either.
"Have you ever had someone land in your life only to lose them just as fast?" Harley piped up after a few moments of silence had filled the air between the two girls, "Sorry, totally random, I know," She winced apologetically before carrying on, "Its just...," Harley heaved in slight frustration. She was feeling a million things at once, but one thing was for sure what that she couldn't seem to get Lillian off of her mind, "...I didn't even know I had a sister until a couple of weeks ago. And now I don't even know if I'll...," Harley pursed her lips together, the corner of her mouth forming a side frown to try and contain her emotions before she exploded.

"Have you ever had someone land in your life only to lose them just as fast?" Vivian could think of a few people in her past, people she had, and then they were gone. "Sorry, totally random, I know, Its just...I didn't even know I had a sister until a couple of weeks ago. And now I don't even know if I'll...," Vivian moved closer and wrapped her arms around her.
"Don't lose hope, this is not the end of our stories. It only ends if we give up," Vivian had her doubts since they crashed here but she couldn't let Harley give up hope. "our story is still playing out and who knows, you might see her again."

"Don't lose hope, this is not the end of our stories. It only ends if we give up," "our story is still playing out and who knows, you might see her again."
"You're right," Harley brushed her nose lightly with her sleeve as she welcomed the comforting embrace that Vivian had to offer. There wasn't much they could do for one another in such a small confinement, but this was more than plenty. Harley was sorry that Vivian ended up here with her, but in a way she was also grateful that she wasn't going through this circumstance alone. And neither was Vivian, "At least we have that to hold onto." For now, they waited to see what the next chapter would hold for their stories, "And each other. I know it's not the best outcome, but for what it's worth I'm glad you're here with me." Harley shed an inkling of gratitude as she reached her free arm around to give Vivian a gentle squeeze.

*** Juliet enters from the Infirmary, with a detour to the Cafeteria ***
"At least we have that to hold onto. And each other. I know it's not the best outcome, but for what it's worth I'm glad you're here with me."
Juliet paused around the corner, holding a tray of food and drinks. Still unsure what her whole purpose here was supposed to be. Welcoming committee? Interrogator? Meal delivery? She chalked it up to just another one of Ben's mind games. Playing chess but moving people around the board at his whim. But she didn't like being a pawn.
"Good afternoon, ladies," she greeted as she approached the cell. "I brought you something to eat and drink. The sedatives you were given tend to be dehydrating, in addition to the time you had to spend on the beach without help. I have a turkey sandwich, a ham sandwich, or a couple of salads if either one of you is vegetarian. Oh, and some freshly baked peanut butter cookies, unless you're allergic."

Vivian was about to respond when they were interrupted, the woman who took the man away came in. "Good afternoon, ladies, I brought you something to eat and drink. The sedatives you were given tend to be dehydrating, in addition to the time you had to spend on the beach without help. I have a turkey sandwich, a ham sandwich, or a couple of salads if either one of you is vegetarian. Oh, and some freshly baked peanut butter cookies, unless you're allergic."
Vivian was hesitant to accept anything because she didn't know her intentions. Would they be drugged and moved, would the food be poisoned? Yet, she was hungry and she couldn't remember the last time she ate. "Thank you," hunger won out and she decided on the turkey sandwich. She sat back down and started to eat, after the first bite she looked up at the woman. "What is this place and why are we here?"

I have a turkey sandwich, a ham sandwich, or a couple of salads if either one of you is vegetarian. Oh, and some freshly baked peanut butter cookies, unless you're allergic."
Harley stewed in silent anger as she held her gaze on the collection of food on the tray. Her mind whizzed through the blur of the last twenty-four hours, remembering how they were torn away from their camp, locked away and treated like lowly prisoners. Harley doubted their well being was of an upmost concern of this woman's, let alone if they had any damn peanut allergies. Harley watched Vivian cave to her hunger and lunge for a sandwich, and the last thing she wanted to do was to admit to the pains that had been rolling in her stomach for the last few hours. The food very well could be drugged, or it could be as simple as an offering. Either way, Harley wasn't accepting anything from these people and stood firmly in one placed. Her arms were crossed tightly across her chest as she glared at the blonde woman before them.
"What is this place and why are we here?"
Vivian had spoken for both of them, as Harley was wondering the exact same. Harley continued to glare in silence as she analyzed the woman before them from top to bottom, trying to figure out what kind of role she was playing in all of this. Whatever this was.

"What is this place and why are we here?"
"Well..." Juliet said, with an intake of breath. She proceeded to take a step back from the bars and stuff her hands into her back pockets. It was a difficult question to answer, even if she were allowed to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but. And while the older redhead seemed more open to a discussion, trusting that the food was safe enough to consume, the other younger one regarded her with suspicion. Not that Juliet could blame her.
"Your plane crashed on this island 13 days ago," she began, assuming that the days had all run together while they awaited rescue on the beach. "We don't get many visitors, so I apologize for the lack of hospitality. We don't mean your people any harm. The other survivors that were taken from your group, and the two children, Zack and Emma -- they're being well looked after. We're willing to protect you as well, give you food and shelter, in exchange for one thing: information."

Something about this whole thing felt completely off to Harley. Almost as if this whole thing had been orchestrated for quite some time. They had been watching them, plotting and planning. An unsettled feeling rose within the pit of Harley's stomach. It would have to take more than sweet talk and morsels of food to get her to talk.
"Hospitality?" Harley scoffed as she shook her head. Before Vivian could say anything else, she stood up straight, her crossed arms unfolded as she placed a hand on each hip in confrontation, "You kidnapped us! And now you're offering protection?" Harley spoke angrily through her confusion, taking it out on the woman standing before her. None of this was normal, and at times Harley felt as if she had just entered one of the episodes from The Twilight Zone.

"Hospitality? You kidnapped us! And now you're offering protection?"
"One of your men killed two of our people on the first night you arrived," Juliet retorted. "Perhaps neither of us has a firm standing on the moral high ground." She fixed the young woman with a smile devoid of warmth. "I don't expect you to believe me, but we did you a favor. There are much worse things out there than in here."

Harley silently scoffed at the woman who was addressing her directly. Her arms crossed, Harley turned her gaze away from her as she found solace in burning a hole into the wall as the woman continued to talk. The 'worse things' the strange woman mentioned made Harley's mind flash back to the mysterious thing looming in the jungle, snapping trees and wreaking havoc. Perhaps it was a scare tactic, and that this was all apart of their plan to conspire to gain the trust of the survivors. Survivors like Harley and Vivian.
"Well, if you think it takes a couple of sandwiches and reason to persuade me that you people actually care about what's best for us, then you kidnapped the wrong girl." Harley snubbed the woman as she continued to hold her gaze away, almost as if she was afraid to break.

"Well, if you think it takes a couple of sandwiches and reason to persuade me that you people actually care about what's best for us, then you kidnapped the wrong girl."
"You weren't kidnapped, you were chosen. Both of you, for an opportunity," Juliet explained, aware of how plainly ridiculous that might sound to the women. "Do you know how nearly impossible it is for you, any of you, to have survived that plane crash relatively unscathed? Maybe that means that you have more to do in this life, maybe it means that you have a ... a greater purpose. It can take a while to find it, and it can be a long and difficult journey. Sometimes it even takes coming to a place like this."
She glanced upward and with a casual wave of her hand, indicated the island at large. Not that any of this was seen by the younger woman who was defiantly looking away. "That necklace that you wear," Juliet remarked, noting the girl's tiger-eye jewelry and remembering it from one of her sister's Hindu healing phases. "Those 108 beads that you hold while you meditate or chant your mantras, does it feel any different here?"

Harley's eye roll was so exaggerated that one could hear them practically roll around in her sockets. Her jaw unhinged slightly in disbelief as she stood there and stared straight through the woman. Rendered speechless, Harley wanted to call this lady out on how she was absolutely insane. That this sounded exactly like some movie about a cult that ended with their 'greater purpose' being some sort of freaky human sacrifice. This woman sounded crazy...and yet, part of what she spoke of began to sink in slowly. The fact that they had survived the plane crash was a miracle. Maybe there was a reason to all of this. Harley didn't want to believe it and fought against these new feelings and thoughts for as long as she possibly could.
"That necklace that you wear," "Those 108 beads that you hold while you meditate or chant your mantras, does it feel any different here?"
Without breaking eye contact with the woman, Harley's fingers gravitated towards her mala bead necklace. She held the beads firmly to her chest in defense, almost taking offense that this woman was talking about the very necklace that was supposed to be a gift for her sister. She felt safe enough to peer down at the beads as she slipped into momentary thought, her fingers toying with the vibrant and deep colours of the tiger's eye, "Now that you mention it," Harley spoke low, in almost a whisper-like tone, yet still loud enough for the woman to audibly make out her words, "I've never felt more balanced. More...connected. I thought my solar plexus was perhaps more open than usual, but...," Harley's eyes fluttered back up to the woman, as pieces began to slowly fit into the puzzle, "...You said we were chosen for an opportunity. You must have some sort of idea as to what that might be, don't you?" Harley questioned the woman as her hand was still placed on the tiger's eye.

"That's not up to me," Juliet replied, a pleasant smile meeting the girl's marked change in attitude. Neither was it up to either of the two women, if Juliet were being honest; it was up to Ben and however he chose to exploit their trust. "I can only say that you'll be given the time and space that you would not have been if you'd stayed on that beach. You were chosen because we believe that you're good people. And that this island somehow needs you."

"I can only say that you'll be given the time and space that you would not have been if you'd stayed on that beach. You were chosen because we believe that you're good people. And that this island somehow needs you.”
Harley stared at the woman who pleasantly smiled and buttered them with good words. She pondered reasons as to how these people believed that her and Vivian were special, more than the rest who resided back at the beach camp. These people clearly knew something, and they were hiding it from the girls. Harley wanted nothing more than to shed some optimism for these strange people, yet she still felt rather uneasy.
”And what about our friends? Ana Lucia, Libby, Derek...My sister? what happens to them? They’re good people too,” Harley questioned, thinking in some cases they might be better candidates than she was if they were looking for people who were “special”. Harley felt like a bit of a fraud being called special, as she saw herself as nothing more than just an ordinary girl.

"It is sweet that you think so highly of people you barely know," Juliet observed. The girl couldn't possibly know what was in the heart and soul of these strangers, huddled together around a campfire for survival. She probably still believed Goodwin was one of them.
"If they truly are good people, you'll see them again. And since you've both had a stressful couple of days, I'll leave you to enjoy your lunch in peace and get some rest." Juliet gave them both a congenial smile before turning and leaving the room.

Harley began to internally panic as the woman appeared to be making a rather quick exit. "Wait-," Harley's lips finally moved to make sound, yet it was too late. The blonde had already made her exit, leaving Harley and Vivian to be the only company in the office cell. Harley stood in place as she stared down the door, waiting for someone - anyone to come through. She wasn't sure how long it had been that she had been standing there until Vivian invited her back to sit with her, but no one came through those doors for the longest time. There were so many questions that ran through Harley's head, though she had a feeling that the blonde woman was not equipped to answer many of them. She wondered what kind of operation they were running in this place and what truths their people really knew. A seemingly big operation such as this one would be bound to have some skeletons hanging out in some deep dungeon. Harley would play their game and figure out their secrets. In the meantime, she would seek solace under Vivian's warm care as they regained their strength to face whatever came their way next.

Vivian didn't like being alone, it added to her anxiety about what this place truly was. So far, everyone had been very nice and they were being fed, but there was an unlining tone of something that was unsettling. They took her away from Harley and she was afraid something might have happened to her. What if they did hurt her and now she was truly alone?
