The three were seated together having dinner on the evening of the fourth day. The stress was beginning to empty from the brothers as they were happy Jack would be awake soon, and so he would begin his recovery. He would be able to help them, which was very important giving their situation. Relief was a feeling that clearly getting stronger and stronger throughout the evening, they were a lot more confident of his condition now they had Gregory.
After they had finished eating Claudia began to do the dishes while Hector and Ramon dried and put them away. At once all three radios sparked up on them, noises from Jacks end came filtering through. They herd a yell and quiet moans, and Jack's voice too, drowsy but pained and.... scared, which was unusual for Jack, even in his state. The three listened before Claudia volunteered to go see to him. Ramon advised her to give him some more of the sedative, as he thought that he must be coming round and feeling the pain.
Claudia rushed through to his room, almost running. She had it in her head that if he needed more sedative then their was a chance that he would wake up. She needed to speak to him. She knew it wasn't one hundred percent that this would happen, but she couldn't risk the chance, and if not, she thought, she at least wanted to help him, to comfort him. She didn't want him to be scared, and she needed to help him. She felt that she owed him so much, after everything that he had done for her. He had not only defended her against Hector, but he gave her hope. That in itself had already began to change her life.
She quickly entered through the white door and made sure to shut it behind her so it clicked, before moving over to Jack. The first thing she did was announce that she was about to see to him out loud - so that Hector and Ramon would hopefully not give their radios any notice seen as she was sorting out the problem at hand. She then picked the black radio up from Jack's pine bedside table and gently turned the plastic dial around until she herd the faint click of it, turning it off in the process. She then carefully did the same to hers too - this was going to be a private conversation.
