Smiling to herself, Cindy entered her office. She’d spoken with Doctor Alpert about Nadia’s suggestion Sayid have a session with Kelvin Inman and he’d given the go ahead. It was no guarantee Kelvin would open up any more, but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.

Cindy walked over to her desk, sat down and pulled out the file on the patient who she’d just met with. When she was done, she planned on taking her lunch break and wondered if she might be able to catch Mikhail, hoping he would be available to join her.

Leaning over the file, she busied herself writing her report.

Ethan Rohm hurried into the recreation hall. Glancing around the room he saw that only a few people had arrived so far. But that was not of much concern to him. His eyes settling on the big screen TV he was thankful to see that no one had claimed it as of yet. Making his way over to the recliners in front of the set, he sat down and picked up the remote. However, he did not turn on the television. First he had to make sure his chair was in just the right position. He spent several moments adjusting his seat and when he was finally satisfied, he pointed the remote at the TV and switched it on. 

Flipping through several channels, Ethan finally settled on the one showing Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. At least it appeared that's what he had chosen. A moment later, he changd the channel over and started to watch Law and Oder: Criminal Intent. But only a few minutes past that, he was switching again and had located an episode of the original version of Law and Order. There were simply too many choices and he found himself constantly going back an forth between all three shows.

Current Mood: confused

It had been a long day and Cindy Chandler was glad to finally be off work for the evening. She had recently been promoted to work directly under Richard Alpert and had spent many hours reading over the patients' files, with whom she'd be starting therapy the next day. One particular patient came to mind. John Locke. For the most part,  the older man was no trouble. However, he was well known for not being terribly cooperative when it came to his therapy sessions. They were lucky if he'd even show, much less getting him to talk. Apparently Doctor Alpert had made some headway with him that very day. She was not certain it was wise to switch in mid stream, but Richard had insisted.

Cindy ran a hand through her hair. "Worry about it tomorrow," she said to herself with a sigh. She was now making her way down the hallway away from her apartment. In her hand she held a copy of the Tchaikovsky CD Mikhail Bukanin and loaned her a few weeks ago. It had been her intention to return it earlier, but she had kept forgetting. She wanted to do so before another day passed. Or perhaps she had been avoiding him. She sighed again. She really liked MIkhail and he had asked her out on several ocassions. But it had been hard on Cindy. Ever since she had lost her fiance Gary Troup she had not wanted to get involved with another man. The thought was just too painful. She knew it was foolish. It had been 4 years since Gary's plan was lost in the Alps, after all. 

Before she realized it, Cindy was standing in front of Mikhail's door. She hesitated. "You're only returning his CD," she chided herself, before knocking on the door. When there was no immediate answer, she assumed the orderly was probably not home. She decided she'd have to try again later and turned to leave.
