SAMANTHA
"Comfortable like the cages that your muscle man mentioned?" She said, looking at him once more, but now just to see if her mentioning some of the little information she had gathered from Pryce or Preston would throw him off at all.

"Comfortable like the cages that your muscle man mentioned?"
"Well, I could give you a choice of where I'm going to keep you. You can stay here, in this empty, cold room, getting a single daily meal shovelled in. Or you could stay in a house, with Pryce as a guard. Or you could go back to Preston, who's expressed an interest in taking care of you for now." he said simply, taking a seat. "Or, like you suggested, the bear cages. So, will you answer my question?"

SAMANTHA
To be perfectly honest, given her options, Samantha would have probably chosen the bear cages, but a cage was a very specific kind of captivity. Cages tended to have only one way in or out which would likely be locked. A house, on the other hand, offered many ways to escape, as she had proved back at Preston's house. Plus it also housed many things that could be used as a weapon. Perhaps a little co-operation would be the logical solution.
"What questions?" She asked, shifting in her chair a little.

"What questions?"
"Are you, or have you ever been, pregnant?" he asked, staring at her intently.

SAMANTHA
"That's a very random question." She said, a little mystified. "Why do you want to know?"

"Why do you want to know?"
To tell her that her life may depend on the right answer would lead to yet more questions. So he ignored her. "It would really be in your best interests to answer correctly. Have you, or have you ever been, pregnant?"

SAMANTHA
"Answer correctly? How am I supposed to know what the correct answer to that is?" Samantha was starting to wonder if the drugs Preston had given her were having side-effects because this was making no sense to her at all.

"Answer correctly? How am I supposed to know what the correct answer to that is?"
He began to lose patience. "Are you pregnant, yes? Or no? If you can't give me an answer, I'll have entrust either Dr Burke or Dr Saint to find out themselves."

SAMANTHA
Not relishing the idea of anyone finding out for themselves, Samantha surrendered and gave him an answer.
"Yes."

"Yes."
He took a small notepad out of his breast pocket, and a pen. He scribbled the answer down below her name. "Currently, or before? If before, did you give birth or suffer a miscarriage?"

SAMANTHA
It was more curiosity that made Samantha answer now. Why was he so desperate to know if she was pregnant? He hadn't introduced himself as a doctor, so why was he taking down her medical information?
"Currently." She said, stoically.

"Currently."
"I see." He took the answer down. "Since coming to the island, has your body undergone any...noticeable changes, however minor?"

Her frown grew deeper.
"Yes."

"Yes."
He looked up at her, not writing for a moment. "What changes? Be specific."

SAMANTHA
She cocked her head to one side as if thinking.
"Details? Let's see....Well first of all, there's all the bruises and cuts I got when I fell out of my plane through the branches of a tree onto the ground. Then there was the nauseous feeling I got after being drugged by your Dr. Saint." She was really laying on the sarcasm now. "Oh, and I got that again at breakfast when he tried to be clever and speak French." A pause. " Don't ask. Then there was the concussion I got from headbutting said doctor, not to mention the stomach cramp and all over burning sensation thanks to you and your taser. And finally I'm fairly certain my jaw's going to swell up after it reacted badly to Pryce's hand. Other than that, i'm peachy." She said with an overly sugary smile.

He chuckled bitterly. "Well, maybe you'll be more eager to answer questions tomorrow." He stood. "In the meantime, you can think about your options."

SAMANTHA
As Ben stood up, so did Samantha.
"You're not just going to leave me here?"

"You're not just going to leave me here?"
"For now. You don't seem to want to answer any of my questions with any degree of compliance, so I see little point in continuing." he replied, turning for the door.

SAMANTHA
"You're questions aren't relevant to anything." She folded her arms across her chest. "Even if I answer them, I suspect you're not going to let me go, so why should I help you?"

"Samantha, your life will be a lot smoother if you comply. It certainly doesn't seem like it now, but we're good people doing good things for the benefit of others." he explained, as if he was talking to a particularly dim child. "Goodbye for now. I'm going to be very busy in the coming weeks, so it may be a while before I see you next. If you have a complaint or request, ask Pryce. Goodbye."
***Ben leaves for the corridor***
