***Pryce enters***
He grabbed Harkness by the shoulders roughly as she ran into him. "Woah! Goin' somewhere?"

"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."

"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.

"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."
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."

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

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

"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?"

"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."

"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?"

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

"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?"

"I'd say I have the measure of who you are from that, thank you very much. So you can take your hand away from me now."
He looked merely disappointed. "Now you're being impolite." He withdrew his hand, and then went to stand by the chair. "I do apologise, this enire sequence of events is simple bad luck on your part. Now, if you'd please answer a few questions, I'd be more than happy to transfer to somewhere a lot more comfortable."

"You're kidding, right?"
"I feel I have to apologise for Ryan's behaviour. He can be a little enthusiastic." he explained gently. "Also, I'm not sure I introduced myself correctly." He extended his hand to her with a polite smile. "Hi. I'm Benjamin Linus. Pleased to meet you."

RYAN PRYCE
"Does hitting a woman make you feel more like a man? I'm sure Freud would have something to say about that."
He chuckled, and sat back down. "You know, I read something about Freud. He had this theory that deep down, every man wanted to have sex with his mom." He paused for a moment. "Which is crazy, right? Disgusting. I mean...Freud's mom must be 100 years old!" He spread his arms theatrically, laughing at his own joke.
He was silent for a moment, and then stood and made his way over to her. "So I'm thinking to myself. Does it ring true for women? Do all women wanna...bang some mirror version of their dads? I mean...my mother can't stand me. I can't stand my mother. And my sister, off island, can't stand my father and likewise. So those relationships, are they reliving themselves over and over through different people? Maybe."
He crouched down, and seized her by the hair. He yanked her head up to look at him. "Guess it doesn't matter. Because here, in this room...I'm...your... daddy!"
***Ben enters from Othersville***
"Ryan." came the lone voice of the smaller man. Pryce sighed, and stood.
"Sir, I was just watchin' her-"
"We must both have wildly contrasting opinions of what 'watching' is, in that case, Ryan. Wait outside."
"Sir, she ain't even bound, I oughta-"
"Ryan, please don't make me ask again."
Pryce nodded, and then went to stand outside the door, shutting it behind him.
***Pryce leaves for the corridor***
BEN LINUS
He walked over to the woman. Pryce. Useful, but so brutish. He kneeled next to her. "Are you OK?"

"He's already knocked me out and left me here with the Neanderthal man. What could he possibly do that's worse than that?"
He looked at her briefly. Then he stood, strode over to her and struck her across the face, knocking her off the chair. "He coulda left you with me for a lot longer."

"Now would you mind telling me why we're sat in this dump?"
"We're waiting for Ben." he replied coldly. "And when he gets here, you'd best show him some respect."

"Have I landed in a village where there are no women or is someone putting something funny in the water that makes you all lascivious creeps?"
"Oh, we got woman. We just ain't got no pretty, English broads with good racks." he replied. He leaned forward. "And like Saint is a lasciv...lavis....a creep. That guy ain't human, I'd be surprised if he realized who were a woman."

"And clearly you dropped out of charm school too, but at least you have your looks."
He scoffed, getting a little angry.
"Nice place you have here..."
He folding his muscular arms, smirking a little. "I wouldn't worry 'bout it. We'll probably move ya to the cages soon enough. It's where we keep all the animals who ain't house trained." He looked her up and down a little, licking his lips carefully. "So you fell outta the sky like a nice, hot , cleavage-y angel and landed in someone's back yard. The doc's, yeah? Saint's?"

"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Ryan Pryce, and I don't play nice." he spat. Hey, that rhymed. "There's a chair over there. You can either sit in it and be a good little girl, or you can try and run...and I can beat you to death with it." His face split into a crooked grin. "What can I say? I'm a wrestlin' fan."

He clicked his walkie. "Ben, she's awake. I'm in the Staff watching her."
"Good." came the reply. "I'm coming now. Keep an eye on her."
"Mornin', sweetheart. Sorry about the lack of pleasant wake-up call. I'll try and put a chocolate on your pillow next time." he smirked, his eyes wandering over her lustfully.
