At 8 a.m., Cobb gives a friendly wave to Dr. Charles Leach, who's drawing near.
Good morning, doctor.
You're right on time.
In the military, we call that five minutes late.
You can't expect us civilians to keep up.
Cobb stiffens.
The truth is, her heartbeat's been erratic these past few weeks.
She's put it down to stress and poor nutrition.
But a part of her is worried it might be something more serious.
Still, she doesn't want Leach to suspect that there's anything wrong with her.
Oh, it's nothing.
I didn't sleep well last night.
You and me both.
But I'm excited to see this infirmary.
It will be a nice change after that machine shop at Santa Tomas.
Yes, it feels luxurious.
Shall we?
Leach holds the door open and they head inside.
But Cobb's optimism plummets upon entering the clinic.
It's completely bare.
