					BASHIR
			You tell me.  You haven't said a 
			word since you came back.

	Sisko nods, lets out a breath...

					SISKO
			I had the chance to save one of the 
			hostages... Webb was willing to let 

			one go, but I stopped him.

					BASHIR
			You had no choice... according to 
			history none of the hostages were 
			freed until the police stormed the 
			Sanctuary...

					SISKO
			I know... but that doesn't make it 
			any easier...

	Bashir nods, then leaves Sisko alone with his thoughts...

18   INT. PROCESSING CENTER - NIGHT #3

	as Bashir crosses past the hostages, he sees that Lee is 
	sitting slightly apart from the others, rocking slowly back 
	and forth.  He approaches her... She looks up when she sees 
	him... scared...

					BASHIR
			Are you all right?

	She hears the lack of menace in his voice... relaxes a bit... 
	But Bashir can see that she looks ashen, has broken into a 
	sweat.  He reaches to touch her forehead and she recoils 
	instinctively.  Vin reacts --

					VIN
			Hey, leave her alone.

					BASHIR
				(to Vin)
			I'm a doctor.
