I get up with the morning light and help Kiera prepare some food for breakfast. We work together carefully cutting up some fresh fruits to go with some cereal that was in the storeroom. I tell Kiera that it is not fair that I sleep in the only bed when it is hers and that she should take the bed back. I can sleep where she has been sleeping.

Kiera looks at me with a caring gaze and says "After the stories of your time incarcerated I would never do that to you, as I have been sleeping on the floor by the fireplace."

"Then how about I move into one of the other houses. It can be temporary if the others are found."

Kiera looks away for a moment, and then exclaims "Maybe we can just share my bed for now, it is large enough for us both."

I think about her offer for a moment , "I think that would be okay for now. At least the bed will be comfortable for both of us." After we finish with our breakfast and clean up the dishes, I look out the window at the lake "I wouldn't mind trying to go on a jog with you, but I don't know if I will keep up with you"

"We don't need to go fast. I can jog at your pace."

I change into clothes to do some running. Kiera is already dressed. We walk out to lake. As we near the trail I can see a clear path that must round the whole of the lake. It must have been made by the years of jogging by her and likely the other inhabitants that were here.

We start down the path, it is quite obvious that Kiera uses the path daily. I tell Kiera to go first and I will follow her. My injuries from my arrival here have subsided; however, my incarceration in such a small space has left me weak and physically weak. I am not as prepared for this as I believe I was. Kiera is clearly does this daily. After a about a hundred meters Kiera is quite far out and it looks like she has stopped and is jogging in place. Eventually, I catch up to her.

"I afraid I am probably just going to slow you down today. Maybe you can you do your normal routine and I will just walk and jog at a pace I can do for now."

"The path is very worn and easy to see so I will see you later. It is about a kilometer and a half around the lake, so I will probably see you sooner than you think." as Kiera smirks at me and starts off jogging ahead of me again.

I didn't want to admit it to her but that short run wore me out far more than I wanted to admit. I keep on the path but I am just walking it now. This is my first time around the lake since I arrived here and landed in the middle of it. As is make my way around the edge of the lake I am looking at the features of which there are few. Much like the rest of this place, there are very few unique features. The land has a slight slope downwards to the lake, and near the water's edge there are some rocks jutting out.

After short period of time, I hear some small thuds behind and when I look back I see Kiera catching up to me from behind. I step off to the right and let Kiera pass by. She gives me a glancing smile and keeps on going.

I keep on moving. I try a light jog and I go a several meters and then I am winded and slow back down. I will definitely have to pace myself and get back into shape. As I move around what seems to be a point which may be the far end of the lake, my eye catches some flat rocks. I notice that they do not seem to be stationary like all the other ones. They are less than a meter out in the water, so I decide to investigate. I take off my running shoes and socks. I wade out into the water, it is just a cold as it was the first time I was in it. When I am close enough, I bend down and touch one of the rocks and it easily plunges under the water. When is rises back up I grab it and pull it up.

It is one of my boots that I pulled off that first day to avoid drowning in this lake. I grab the other one and make my way back out of the lake. I go and sit down next to the trail and look at my boots. The rubber soles caused them to rise to the surface and they made their way eventually to the shore line. A little later Kiera comes circling back around again. She stops and sits down next to me.

"What do you have there?"

"These are my boots that I wore as police officer. There is a suit that I wore with this. I haven't told you about the night that I arrived here. But it was struggle to make it to your doorstep."

"I always wondered why you just had a bra and panties. " as she looks at me with amazement.

"I was unconscious for a moment, and when I came around I was sinking down into the lake. I tried to swim up but I could not move upwards. I quickly struggled to get out of my uniform and these boots just to swim to the surface of the water."

"I did not know you were in that much trouble that night. That is horrible. No wonder you were so cold, that lake is never warm enough to swim in."

"I'm just glad I found you that night, I don't think I would have survived without you."

"You surprised me that night, I had not seen or heard another person in quite a while."

Kiera picks up one of the boots and puts her hand out to give me a boost up and we walk the rest of the way back with my dripping wet boots in our hands. On the way back I tell her about my "super" suit.

"My suit may be able to help us find a way out of here."

"How can a uniform help us?"

"It's sort of complicated to explain, but the suit is actually embedded with advanced technology that helped me in apprehending criminals."

"I have never heard or seen such technology."

I decide I will tell Kiera some other time about the computer in my brain that interfaces with the suit. I think she has enough to process with our latest discovery of the boots.

We make it back to Kiera's house and take showers. We sit down and talk over some fresh drinks about that first night I arrived here.
