Claire's eyes slowly fluttered open and she saw a weeping Charlie next to her, "C..Charlie?" she said weakly. She was still pretty dazed, "What's going on?" she looked around her in panic, "Where am I?"
Claire had no memory of what had happened. She was still drugged and kind of dizzy.

Charlie let out a half laugh half sob when he saw Claire's crystal blue eyes open. "Your okay" He said as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her to him tightly. Almost like he was scared she'd be ripped right from his arms. His voice continued to break as new tears began to form in his eyes. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...It's my fault. I should have taken better care of you. I should have been there for you" Sometime during his incoherent babbling, he had tightened his grip around Claire. Probably more for his own benefit than hers.

Claire let Charlie hug her. She was so relieved he was here. She had felt so scared that tears began to form in her eyes, "It's not your fault," she sniffed hugging him back, "But I was so scared! I was with Aaron and then all I remember was this pain in my head and I heard Aaron crying!" she cried harder, "I'm so glad you're here!"

Charlie took in a shaky breath before finally releasing his tight hold on Claire. He quickly wiped his cheeks on his sleeve, feeling slightly embarrassed that Claire had found him so distraught. He let out a small chuckle as he gently brushed away some of her own tears with his thumb. "Sorry it took so long. This place isn't the easiest to find"

She made a small laugh through her tears. She looked around her suddenly realising where she was. And what had happened, "Where's Aaron?" she said panicing, " 'They' have him don't they!" she tried to stand but became dizzy and fell back down.

Charlie looked at Claire sympathetically. No mother should ever have her child taken away from her, and it had happened to Claire so many times since they had crashed...Charlie didn't understand why the others seemed to be so fascinated with Aaron in the 1st place. "Jack and Kate are looking for him now" He said looking down so his eye contact wasn't on her.

She sniffed, "They're here?" She looked around again, "Charlie-The Others could come back again any minute!" She lifted his head up with her hand and looked in to his eyes, "I don't want them to hurt you again." She was worried. What if they returned and saw Charlie here? What if they already had Jack and Kate? They were all in danger.

Claire's touch warmed his heart. How could she be concerned about him when her own life was in danger? "Don't worry about me, love" He said smiling cheekily. "God's had so many opportunities to kill me, it would be a shame to do it while trying to save a lovely mother and her infant. Besides, why can't I take Jack's place as the hero for once?"

Claire managed a smile, "Well, you know what they say about heros," she said said standing up and pulling Charlie up with her, "They always get the girl," she hugged him again quickly, "Now we better get out of here," she said quietly, "We must find Jack and Kate and escape before they see us."

Charlie's smile brightened as Claire wrapped her arms around him again. Two weeks ago all he wanted was for Claire to talk to him. Now she was hugging him. Voluntarily. As he followed her to the door dazily, he suddenly realized the immediate danger they were in. "Hey, let me stick my head out the door real quick. Check if the coast is clear"

Claire nodded and continued looking around the room. She had had a bag over her head alot of the time and hadn't has the chance to take a proper look around, "Hey, maybe's there's medicine!" she beamed gesturing towards the many cabinets, "Remember when Aaron was ill? Maybe I can find some medicine for him and everybody else. It's a chance to stock up!"
Even though this was stalling their chance to get Aaron back Claire was determined to do this. She couldn't risk Aaron becoming ill again, "I'll be right back, keep an eye out." she said quietly as she wondered over to the cabinets and began searching for pills.

Charlie looked back at Claire suddenly. "Claire, I know you're the Holy Mary of our small group of survivors, but you really don't have time to go searching for vaccine for the whole bloody camp." He knew Claire was always thinking of others, but now wasn't really the time. "Besides you already have vaccine for Aaron"

"Shh," she put a finger to her lips, "Okay, okay! I'll be done in a sec." She grabbed a load of bottles not really bothering to read the labels and hurried back to Charlie, "Now, I'm ready. Coast clear? See Jack and Kate anywhere?"
She was getting conerned about them too. If they were here like Charlie had said they could be in a lot of danger.

"Yes and No" Charlie said as he grabbed Claire's hand and slowly entered the hallway. "Jack and Kate can find their way out" He whispered. "I say we find Aaron and get the hell out of here" Charlie knew that sounded abit harsh, but all he really cared about at the moment was Claire and Aaron's safety. Besides Jack and Kate were the hero's right? They could get out of anything.

Claire thought about this, "Okay." Afterall she would never forgive herself if anything happened to Aaron, "Let's go." she took a deep breath and began tiptoeing out the room looking around her cautiously. She felt her heart beat fast as if someone was going to jump out at her and grab her, "Do you see another room?" she asked Charlie has they wandered down the corridor.
