It was late and quiet. Finally quiet after a day of chaos. Though she would have swore to it earlier she wasn’t thankful for the silence tonight. Tonight more than any other she longed for the constant hum of the city, tonight because this was the night she finally realized she wasn’t going home.

Curled up in the corner of the room Aiden was still wearing the scrub pants, though she had changed her top to the worn out FBI t-shirt she’d swiped from her best friend shortly after he’d moved back home. Her best friend she’d never see again. He’d do anything for her, go to the ends of the earth to find her, but it didn’t matter. This place was some kind of Bermuda triangle like trap. You came in but didn’t go out.

And she cried. Cried for all the people she’d never see again, cried for the memories she couldn’t keep from running through her head. Each of her five senses seemed to betray her, bombarding her with memories. She rememberd the sound of the rats that used to run along the beams in the ceiling where she grew up,remembered the sound of her and her partner’s skates slicing through the ice in perfect unison. She could see Danny’s brilliant smile, her mother’s artwork. She could smell the gunpowder from when her and Stella would go to the range and the fish from down the dock were one of her brothers worked. She could taste her father’s spaghetti sauce, and blood in her mouth when her face hit concrete. And she could feel the baby that once grew inside her, and feel the bite in the air the day they buried her.

The memories themselves came disjointed and random. But she knew everyone intimately, and they forced on her a wave of emotions she couldn’t keep back. She felt like she was drowning. Her sobs echoed eerily in the room and her face was wet with tears.

"I think most of the acid's washed off." AIden replied still sitting on the shower floor holding up Boone. In her mind she was wonder how the hell all this had happened. Why hadn't they cleared the building? And how did this guy get a gun, let alone a semi-automatic pistol. Heavy ammo, despite the fact that you could pick one up at your local Wal-Mart these days. And what now? Aiden didn't want to calculate the risk of infection for her small wound let alone Boone's. She really hoped the medical supplies were well stocked. And if they were stocked once they would need to be so again. Where were they getting supplies from? Perhaps there was hopes to get off this island yet.

"Somebody turn off the water please." she said quietly, lost in thought for a second. "And we're going to need clean scrubs, bandages, antibiotic ointment..." she noticed a little blood trickling down her own arm then looked to see if Boone was bleeding. "Get one of the doctors if the're free, if not I can triage him, but he'll still need to be looked at." She laid a hand on Boone's chest to feel his breathing, looked over his neck, checking to see if Ripley had done any significent damage.
