The sound of his nurse's insistent knocking finally pulled the treasure hunter from sleep and he groggily sat up as she busted in, going on about how he was late...or something like that; to be fair, he wasn't paying attention. His mind was on his now throbbing shoulder and the events of the night before.

A quick inspection of the barely tended wound revealed his shoulder was bandaged and cared for as if he'd gone to a healer. The strangest thing about it was the fact that, while it hurt, it wasn't the same level of pain as it had been the night before. If there'd been any doubts left in his mind that what happened at night actually happened, they would have disappeared. This was all the proof he needed.

Locke halfheartedly got out of bed and went with the nurse, not really listening to anything she went on about-There will be a movie today, Alex, isn't that exciting? You have therapy today, Alex, we'll just grab you some food first!- none of it mattered to him. He just wanted to get to the Cafeteria and make sure he laid eyes on Edgar and Tolten.
