Iris bit her lip nervously. 'I..if you want to stay in here.. you can.. i mean.. if they let you.. It can be scary out here after all.. and i might need someone to wake me up... if the nightmares start again.' She said in a soft, quiet voice. She wasn't lying. She did want her company, but she also wanted Lyla to have someone too.

Lockie had been willing to deal with the consequences, but when they drugged Tammy he snapped. 'LET HER GO! I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE HER ALONE!' He roared, fighting off their grip with some difficulty. His hand, foolishly, had been cuffed at the front, so he was able to use the full force of his arms to deliver a blow to the face of the orderly that grabbed him. 'I told you not to hurt her.' He growled, anger flashing in his eyes. As one of the attendants went to approach him, a huge spark of lightning crashed down, striking the attendant. Smoke grew thick and heavy. Something wasn't right. The plants shouldn't have caught fire so easily.. it had been raining. He'd been set up he just knew it. As more attendants rushed out to put out the fire and control the unruley patients, Lockie grabbed Tammy as best he could, somehow getting his arms over her head and around her thin shoulders. He dragged her to the door, spotting Aden. 'Aden.. Aden please! Help her! They knocked her out!'
