Things are progressing slowly. Every day takes its small toll on her in the way of emotional pain tearing at her, keeping her from John. She still has no gun and she still has no explanation for what kind of time skip must have happened to bring her here. Something must have happened during the surgery and she has no way of finding out what or what kind of mad scientist has decided to put this madhouse show together.

She's making small steps of progress. She's found herself a temporary home and is starting to fortify it. She's made sure that she has primitive weapons and checks in place for if someone arrives that she knows. She has her investigations underway.

That leaves several important things.

First: find enough people and befriend them on a casual level. Close enough to earn mild trust, but not too close to arouse suspicion.

Second: make sure the cancer isn't in her body. That's why she's at the Clinic after researching the roster of names. Ellie seems the best bet. A mother, a woman, and who seems normal as can be from her quiet investigation. She's timed her arrival to the clinic in the middle of Ellie's shift, knocking lightly on the door. "Hi," she greets with an even pull of her lips. "Dr. Woodcomb?"

"I'm sorry," she said, as if she could even help that the island had separated them. Letting out a slow breath, she tried not to think about what would happen if she was ever taken from here. It wasn't the time or place. "I promise I'll get these results to you as soon as I can. One less worry off your mind for now."

"One less worry," she echoes as if she's really going to believe it, taking the small cotton-batting off her arm and offering Ellie a muted smile. "When do you want me to come back for results?"

"Say in three days?" she suggested. By then, she was sure it'd be done. It'd give her time to look up if there were any other tests she might be able to give, too, just in case. "Sometime around noon, so I know to be there."

Sarah nods at that, making a mental note to come back in three days' time. She sets her feet on the ground, ready to get out of there and to stop thinking about what might be in her blood. "Thanks," she says, almost a forgotten-afterthought. "For this."

"Of course," she replied. She just hoped she'd have good news for her when she came back. "And if you need anything else, just let me know."
