Once breakfast was done and the dishes had been put away, Juliet grabbed her copy of Carrie and settled onto the couch. The book club meeting would be coming up soon and even though she was quite familiar with the subject matter, it didn't hurt to take another look with fresh eyes. She retrieved the notebook and pen that she'd left on the coffee table the night before and resumed taking notes at the chapter where she'd left off.

Toolbox gripped tightly in his hand, Bennett swung it lightly be his side, strolling up the pathway towards Juliet's house. He had brought the box just in case, but Ethan had asked Bennett to make a stop by Juliet's house to check in on the pipe situation as he was busy with other arrangements. Of course, Bennett would rather be off doing something else than to be an errand boy. But he knew being fully involved in their community made his dad happy and proud. His father was passionate about this place and these people, all following the orders of Jacob. Though, sometimes Bennett wondered what it would be like to leave this island. To be free.
His feet clunked onto the wooden porch as he landed himself in front of the door. Bennett gave a few quick raps on the door and waited for Juliet to answer.

Juliet's head snapped up at the sound of a knock on the door. She wasn't expecting anyone, though Ethan had said he might stop by to take another look at the plumbing. Setting aside her book and notes, she went to the door and opened it to see Tom's son. "Bennett, hey!" she greeted. When she noticed the toolbox clutched in his hand, Juliet gave him a sympathetic smile. "Oh, no, did you get drafted into home repair duties?"
She opened the door wider and stood aside so that he could enter. "I told Ethan it wasn't urgent," she informed him.

"Bennett, hey!" "Oh, no, did you get drafted into home repair duties?"
Juliet had always been so warm towards Bennett, looking out for him in multiple angles. Even with the things Ben had put her through since she arrived, she always managed to show up with a smile on her face. He returned Juliet's greeting with a warm half grin and a light shrug as she sympathized with them putting him to work that day.
"I told Ethan it wasn't urgent,"
Bennett nodded in thanks as he gently side stepped Juliet and made his way through the door, "You know Ethan, always wants to fix things and make people happy. Must be the doctor in him. Not that I'm not happy to be here helping you - it's the least I can do after all you've done for me," Bennett chimed as he stood in the middle of Juliet's kitchen, his gaze panning left and right. He noticed that she must have just wrapped up breakfast as a book with the title Carrie on the front cover appeared to be barely cracked open, "So, where's the damage been done?"

"You know Ethan, always wants to fix things and make people happy. Must be the doctor in him. Not that I'm not happy to be here helping you - it's the least I can do after all you've done for me. So, where's the damage been done?"
"Oh, it's the kitchen sink," Juliet replied. "It's been really slow to drain these last few days. Maybe it's blocked up somehow?" That was the extent of the information she could share; indoor plumbing was definitely not her strong suit. She found a spot in the kitchen that was out of his way but still accessible for conversation. She appreciated the remark about helping him, though felt it unnecessary. She had just assumed that it was hard for him to be here with no one else near his age and his father being one of the community leaders, so she tried to make sure her door was always open if he wanted to talk.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the job came with free room and board," she remarked. "But I'm sure you'll agree, these old houses have their quirks. They've gotta' be, what, 40, 50 years old?" True, Bennett wasn't old enough to have been part of the Dharma Initiative, but he and his father Tom had been on the island much longer than Juliet. Which meant he probably knew more of its history, the kind that Ben was never willing to share.

"Oh, it's the kitchen sink," "It's been really slow to drain these last few days. Maybe it's blocked up somehow?"
"Perhaps, let's take a look shall we?" Bennett nodded, heading towards the kitchen sink. Placing the tools on the ground by his feet, he knelt down really low to get to where the pipes were located under the sink. Being tall had it's advantages as much as it's disadvantages, such as getting under sinks or low places for instance. Though, he worked swiftly without complaint as he laid his back down on the floor and grabbed a wrench to try to open the pipes to see the issue.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the job came with free room and board," "But I'm sure you'll agree, these old houses have their quirks. They've gotta' be, what, 40, 50 years old?"
"Something like that," Bennett managed to make out in between grunts as he tried to loosen the rusty pipe, hoping to reach the problem spot, "This place was originally built back in the 70's for a group called the DHARMA Initiative. Whatever happened to them, well, everyone's got their own theories. Only a few from before us know the truth, including Ben. I've never been let in on it though. Not sure if I wanna know, to be honest," Bennett rambled on until the pipe finally came free in his hands, "Ah, there we go," He uttered, flipping over and brining himself to his knees in a crouched position as he opened up the pipe to find the issue, "Well, you've got a lot of erosion and a cracked pipe. There's some molding under your sink where the leak's been happening unfortunately as well," Bennett shook his head, fixing the pipe back into it's place. He stood upright to face Juliet, "I'll see if I can get you a new part - and I'll talk to my dad about him coming in to touch up under the sink too." Bennett nodded as he affirmed Juliet that he would make sure that she is taken care of.

"...Only a few from before us know the truth, including Ben. I've never been let in on it though. Not sure if I wanna know, to be honest. ... Ah, there we go. Well, you've got a lot of erosion and a cracked pipe. There's some molding under your sink where the leak's been happening unfortunately as well, I'll see if I can get you a new part - and I'll talk to my dad about him coming in to touch up under the sink too."
Juliet observed quietly as Bennett got to work, trying to diagnose the problem and offer a solution. "Thank you, Bennett, I appreciate it," she said. "But again, it's not urgent. I'm sure your dad has other, more important things to do. And so do you. You help out a lot around here; Tom is very proud of you."
Juliet knew that such compliments were regarded as empty and being polite, but she did mean them. "Do you want something to drink before you head back out?" she asked, jerking a thumb toward the refrigerator. "I promise this is not an attempt to make you join the book club."

"Do you want something to drink before you head back out?" "I promise this is not an attempt to make you join the book club."
Bennett smiled lightly, knowing he was on the job. But he could spare a care in this moment, as Juliet was a friend and what he came to her house to do was mostly complete, "Even if it was, I wouldn't oppose. Seems like the most normal thing anyone's suggested all week," Bennett remarked, as he didn't get out recreationally much or hang out with anyone in the community at all other than his father and the company he kept, "I'll have whatever you've got," Bennett nodded as he helped himself to sit on the couch. Nestling into the comfy cushions of Juliet's humble abode, he scooped up the book that rested in her living room as she gladly fetched him a beverage, "So is this what you've been reading in your group, er, I mean club?" Bennett asked aloud as he flipped the book to scan it from cover to back.

"I'll have whatever you've got. ... So is this what you've been reading in your group, er, I mean club?"
As Juliet approached the couch with two glasses of iced tea, she observed that Bennett was looking at her copy of Carrie. "Oh, yes," she confirmed, handing him a glass. "Stephen King's debut novel." She folded her legs beneath her as she took a seat on the neighboring couch, not wishing to crowd her guest. "Of course, Ben considered my selection for this month too...mainstream. I think he'd rather we all read Voltaire or Kerouac. Something dense and obscure. I've tried to tell him just because something is popular doesn't make it any less worthy of attention."
She took a couple sips from her glass, allowing Bennett to peruse the book in silence. "I mean, sure, people can dismiss it as some supernatural revenge fantasy," she eventually remarked. "But who can't identify with being an outsider, feeling like you don't belong?"

"I mean, sure, people can dismiss it as some supernatural revenge fantasy," "But who can't identify with being an outsider, feeling like you don't belong?"
Glass in hand, Bennett listened to Juliet speak while his gaze stared into the cover. A muffle chuckle echoed behind his lips as her words amused him. He resonated with feeling like one that didn't truly belong, though he never expressed his thoughts on the matter a whole lot. He figured they were simply just silly thoughts and that he was on the road of finding himself, figuring he wouldn't have any reasons to believe that he was an outsider. If anything about his life was truly out of place, he figured his father would have told him about it by now.
"Well, I guess at the end of the day I'm sure everyone's glad you're the one in charge of the book club and not Ben," Bennett remarked with a half grin as he lightly tossed the book onto the coffee table before him, "Like you said, his choices are obscure, just as he seems to be. I've known him my whole life, but I still don't really feel like I know him, ya know?" Bennett pondered while raising the glass to his lips to take a sip, "Though, he seems to really like you. Not sure if you've noticed, but he doesn't do a great job at hiding it." Bennett casually tossed his input into the conversation, though he had a feeling that Juliet had certainly noticed the boss's favor.

Juliet gave Bennett a small smile of acknowledgement. "I'm not sure anyone could every really know Ben," she observed. "He seems to think leadership means being above and apart from everyone else. And as for his favor...." She took a sip from her drink and pondered her next words. Not wanting to seem ungrateful or insubordinate, but close enough to honesty.
"Ben gave me a great opportunity to continue my research here," Juliet informed him. "He took a chance on me, and I appreciate his support. But that's as far as it goes. My ex-husband made a habit of controlling my thoughts and my actions. I won't make that same mistake again.
"Besides, he has his hands full with Alex. Especially now that she has a boyfriend. The worst nightmare of every father of a teenage girl. Maybe you should warn Karl, tell him what he's getting into...."

"Ben gave me a great opportunity to continue my research here," "He took a chance on me, and I appreciate his support. But that's as far as it goes. My ex-husband made a habit of controlling my thoughts and my actions. I won't make that same mistake again."
Bennett completely understood her point of view. She was completing her life's work and he could never blame her for taking Ben's opportunity and doing what makes her happy and fulfilled in life. He was also happy to know that she was self aware and looking out for herself. Bennett would pity anyone who would fall for Ben's choices of words and gestures.
"Besides, he has his hands full with Alex. Especially now that she has a boyfriend. The worst nightmare of every father of a teenage girl. Maybe you should warn Karl, tell him what he's getting into...."
"Karl's a stubborn guy," Bennett sighed as he leaned back to get comfy on the seat he sat in, folding his hands in his lap. He shook his head, knowing the boy was out of his mind for trying to get involved with the boss's daughter, "When he gets an idea in his head, it's kind of hard to sway him out of it. Alex is cool, but if Karl keeps thinking of himself as invincible then he'll be in for it for sure." Bennett felt sometimes as if he was the only young adult around with any sense of a brain. Perhaps it could also explain his spells of boredom and feeling out of sorts with the rest of them.

"Karl's a stubborn guy. When he gets an idea in his head, it's kind of hard to sway him out of it. Alex is cool, but if Karl keeps thinking of himself as invincible then he'll be in for it for sure."
"I'm pretty sure thinking you're invincible is part and parcel of the whole 'being a teenager' thing. Granted, that was a looong time ago for me, but I still vaguely remember those times," Juliet countered with a laugh. Perhaps to cover that tinge of sadness that such memories were so far away, in time and in miles. Despite Karl's stubborn nature, he was playing a very dangerous game. Not just because of Ben but because of the potential harm to Alex, none of which Juliet was free to speak of.
"I imagine it's not easy for you, either. Being Tom's son, probably feels a bit like your future has already been planned for you," Juliet observed, aware of the pressure that could come from one generation of leaders onto the next. "Does your father ever talk to you about it?"

"I imagine it's not easy for you, either. Being Tom's son, probably feels a bit like your future has already been planned for you," "Does your father ever talk to you about it?"
Bennett felt quite uneasy with the attention being pointed to him in such a personal manner. Even though it was just Juliet, the question triggered him slightly and he wasn't sure why exactly. As he sat, the palm of his hands began to sweat on the jeans of his knees which they laid upon as he looked Juliet straight in the eye with zero hesitation, "My father wants what's best for me. Always has, and I'm so grateful to have him. I look forward to what the island - er, I mean Ben, has planned for me in the future. I just...," the flat hands that laid on Bennett's thigh began to ball in and out of anxious fists as he fidgeted, darting his gaze away from Juliet for a moment as he thought about his next words, "...sometimes, I feel like I'm not cut out for this, you know? Like I'm not good enough." Bennett felt ashamed to admit such a claim out loud. His father had praised him and had been preparing him for the future, and he was more than happy to take on the jobs. Though, at times he felt as if there was someone in the community that could do better than he could.

"My father wants what's best for me. Always has, and I'm so grateful to have him. I look forward to what the island - er, I mean Ben, has planned for me in the future. I just...sometimes, I feel like I'm not cut out for this, you know? Like I'm not good enough."
Juliet noted the young man's anxious gestures, showing that she'd hit a nerve. "Yes, but that feeling, it's what will make you a good leader," she asserted in an effort to calm him. "No one wants to follow someone who thinks they're always right and who never wants to listen to anyone else. We all have weaknesses, but we learn and gain strength from others. That's especially important in a place like this."
She also noted that he'd mentioned what the island had planned for him, before correcting himself. Leaving his future up to a piece of land in the middle of the ocean, no matter how 'magical' Ben believed it to be, was both frustrating and sad. She knew about the world beyond these shores; Bennett might never know, because of people who weren't his real family making decisions for him.
"I can certainly understand the pressure, though. You're still young -- trying to figure out who you are, where you belong. Have you ever spoken to Tom about...seeing what else is out there?" she asked, venturing with hesitation as she didn't know how much Bennett's father shared with him about his off-island 'business trips.'

"I can certainly understand the pressure, though. You're still young -- trying to figure out who you are, where you belong. Have you ever spoken to Tom about...seeing what else is out there?"
Bennett shrugged his shoulders, though the silent features that fell upon his face told Juliet more about the story than he cared to let her in on. His father had groomed him to be the next up and coming generation to lead their home, just as his father contributed to their society along with Ben, Juliet and everyone else. Though...thoughts often came across Bennett's mind, thinking whether or not there was something more out there for him. He loved the community he grew up in, and yet he felt as if his destiny lay elsewhere, "All my life, I have been led up to this very moment. Where my duties would be fulfilled for the loyalty for the community. I am not so sure if there's anything else out there for me anymore." Bennett remarked nonchalantly, yet with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"All my life, I have been led up to this very moment. Where my duties would be fulfilled for the loyalty for the community. I am not so sure if there's anything else out there for me anymore."
"But it's not forbidden for you to wonder if there might be," Juliet countered. "At least, not that I'm aware of. I'll double-check the handbook." She gave him a sarcastic smile as she tilted her head in empathy. Bennett made his fate sound more like a prison sentence than a bright, shining future. When the world should be opening up to him, the doors were being locked and the curtains closed.
"Not to sound like the stereotypical scientist, but it's only by asking questions that we can get to the answers," Juliet advise. "Don't let the island or Ben or your father or even me tell you who you are. You have to figure that out yourself."

"Not to sound like the stereotypical scientist, but it's only by asking questions that we can get to the answers," "Don't let the island or Ben or your father or even me tell you who you are. You have to figure that out yourself."
"Sure, thanks," Bennett nodded, grateful for her thoughtful words and direction. He knew she was right, even though he wasn't sure himself what it was he wanted and was looking for in this life. When the time would come though, Bennett knew he would have a hefty choice to make. The road to a life of happiness and fulfillment seemed like a bit of a reach and sometimes the tempting thought of just settling for what others wanted from him seemed easier. And yet, the thought of there being more to this life than what surrounded him nagged louder and louder as time went on.
"On that note," Bennett brought himself to his feet, "I better head out. We should get you that new part for the sink sooner than later," Bennett went to retrieve his toolbox before turning around to face Juliet with a grin, "Thanks for the refreshment, and the talk. And if you have an extra spot in your book club, let me know." Bennett nodded in appreciation, for not only did the story itself intrigue him but a slight change up in his routine sounded rather refreshing.

"Of course, thank you for coming by," Juliet assured, getting to her feet as well and walking toward the door. "My door is always open, you know. Especially for handymen who take payment in food or drink. And remember, you don't have to have everything figured out right now. You've got plenty of time."

Bennett gratefully nodded in Juliet's direction, "Yeah, that's right," He confirmed as he understood where her words had come from. Out of all of the people in their village, he was glad that at least someone was a thinker and doer. Everyone else rode along with the waves, so he was relieved to know there are those few who aren't afraid to rise against the current. Perhaps someday he'll gather enough courage to do the same. Bennett bid Juliet farewell as he made his exit out of the front door.
