((OOC: Not meaning to cut in on Kate and Sayid's convo. Just assume this happens sometime shortly afterward.))
***Gwen enters from F3 Camp***
She finally caught sight of Sawyer near the fuselage and approached him hesitantly with a polite smile. "Good day, Mr. Sawyer," she began.
He looked up at her with a curious grin. "Well, well, the intrepid huntress returns. I thought you and your merry band was out scoutin' the jungle."
"We were. But something came up and we had to turn back," she replied.
"Something?" Like another polar bear? he wondered.
"A member of our search party was injured. We thought it best to return here and give him time to recover."
"Well, that is a very vague, noncommittal answer, Poppins," he remarked. "Still doin' the company proud, I see."
"Not that you care, but Severin's leg was hurt in a fall. Vivian took a look at it, and she thinks he'll be fine as long as he stays off his feet for a few days."
He shot her a smirk. "Wow. I take a pummeling from your...sorry, one of your boyfriends, Cap'n Jake goes missing, and your new pal Sev limps home with a bum leg. Seems a fella' could get hurt if he sticks too close to you," he said, standing and gathering his things.
She furrowed her brow at him. "How did you know about Jake?"
"Ain't that big an island, Posh Spice. People talk, and I'm a good listener," he answered.
"Well, don't worry, I won't linger. I just need a favor--"
"Shop is closed."
"Why? You have something better to do?"
"Nah, just...concentratin' on a different class o' clientele. Gonna' take a lot more than the promise of a flight attendant uniform to turn my head these days," he explained, giving her a leering look as he walked past.
"You're a smoker, right?"
He turned back with a sigh. "What, you wanna' give me a lecture? 'Cause there's a hundred other things on this island that'll kill me before the cigs do."
She held up the pack of cigarettes for him to see. "Your current supply will run out eventually. I can help you ward off the withdrawal a bit longer."
He looked away, shaking his head. "So...Little Miss Morality has a vice? Any other bad habits I should know about?"
"Yes. I tend to start kicking people who are wasting my time," she commented, stepping closer to him. "Will you accept these as a trade or not?"
"Depends on what you want."
"Painkillers," she said. "Anything you have that Jack hasn't already claimed."
He tilted his head, considering her offer. She was right about his nicotine supply running out, and having her on the hook for a favor could be to his advantage down the road. "One bottle for one pack. Sound fair?"
She nodded, handing over the cigarettes. He dug into his bag and handed her a bottle of over-the-counter pain pills. "And if you need refills, well...we can always talk about my new layaway plan," he grinned.
"That's very kind, but no thank you," she said, snatching the pills away from him.
"Pleasure doin' business with you, Poppins," he called after her as she walked away.

SAYID
"And?"
He watched as Gwen approached Sawyer and began to speak with him about something. Whatever they were discussing didn't seem to have to do with the water so he turned to face Kate fully to explain. "You go after him now, he'll give you nothing. But if you wait, a rat will always lead you to it's hole."

KATE
She gave another brief look over her shoulder at Sawyer and then looked back at Sayid. What he said was very logical and much better than her idea a second ago, which was to stomp on over and demand he give back the water. Taking a moment to think about it now that the anger had cleared from her mind, she realized what a waste that would have been. Sawyer would have laughed in her face and been extra cautious with keeping the water and other supplies hidden.
"We'll wait then," she agreed. "I'll keep an eye on him. As soon as he makes a move into the jungle, we'll follow."

KATE
As if on cue, Sawyer started heading for the jungle. "Hey," she said quietly to Sayid as she gave his arm a squeeze to get his attention and then nodded toward Sawyer's disappearing form. Without waiting, Kate took off after him.

SAYID
He couldn't help but find something inherently wrong with The Island. There was a multitude of reasons as to what it could be and why he would feel such a way. But it nagged at him. Distracted him from the task at hand.
"Hey."
He was brought back into the moment. There were more pressing concerns than wondering what the source of that strange radio signal had been. He followed Kate without a word.

SUN & JIN
Sun was kneeling in the sand farther up on the beach in the shade of the trees. She picked up a plant with a red and yellow flower and smelled it, her eyes closed. Out in the shallow tide pools, Jin was trying to catch some fish. He reached into the water and grabbed a fish. Sun opened her eyes and looked over at Jin who was deep in mortal combat with their meal.
To her right, she heard voices and turned to watch the group gathering for the trek to the fresh water caves.
KATE
Kate was up early as usual and had collected some backpacks and other items they'd need for the trek to the caves. She was now in the middle of teasing Jack about the tattoos on his upper arm, visible for the first time since he wore a sleeveless shirt. "It's not like I'm asking you a personal question."
HEIDI
I was up and ready early and headed straight over in the direction of Jack and Kate. They were currently in a discussion so I just nodded to Jack with a smile of 'hello' as I picked up one of the backpacks, letting him know I was going along without interrupting them. I saw Charlie nearby looking as if he was also getting ready to head out. "Hey," I said as I walked over to him. "You going too?"

It should be illegal to be up this early in the morning, but who could sleep late these days? So maybe I can actually be put to good use? Looks like there gathering for the water trek, I heard something about it. So I made my way over to the small group and said practically nothing. I was never good with groups at first.

*Nikki enters from Nikki and Paulo's shelter*
Nikki stumbled across the sand from her shelter, the floral print on her dress emphasised by the warm sun beating down on the camp.
A small group was gathering a short distance away, she contemplated finding out what was going on but halted as her mind returned to the events of the previous evening. Jacks speech came flooding back to her as did the brief conversation with Ethan.
He had been a nice guy, offered to help them out with finding their luggage. But Nikki had declined, the guy seemed nice but something inside of her said no. He had however, suggested looking inland, a suggestion which she was considering.
She ruffled her hair momentarily and stared out at the blue of the ocean, thinking about the time they had spent on the island.

RUBY
Enters from Ruby's Camp/Shelter.
She stretched and yawned before reaching the Fuselage Area and it's surroundings, she spotted the small group and assumed something was going on, however as interested to help as she was there was enough events the ppast few days and Joanna's death mde Ruby realise that she should start getting to knwo people better. This afterall was her new home, in a way. She spotted Nikki-Ruby really didn't know what to think her initial thoughts were that she was mysterious and anti-scoial however she seemed nice when she got to know her, it wasjust her attitude to Paulo. Ruby seemed confused about. She burshed her thoughts aside and approached her.
"Morning Nikki are you alright?" she asked "Nice dress by the way " She continued secretly wishing she had it for herself. her suspicions stil lrising and Paulo missing she curiously questioned "Is Paulo OK? Where is he?" checking to see if Nikki hadn't slaughtered him in the night and left him for the Jungle Monster and Polar Bears. Like before, she put it down to her overeactive imagination. Nikki wasn't that bad!

"Morning Nikki are you alright?"
Nikki's ocean-gazing was cut into by the cheery voice of Ruby. Of the many people she had seen or spoken too since arriving, Ruby had perhaps been the nicest towards her. She was always polite and well-mannered (except when it came to Ana Lucia) and always made conversation with her.
'Morning Ruby' Nikki replied with a smile, 'Im good thanks. You?'
"Nice dress by the way "
'This old thing?' Nikki laughed and gave a twirl, 'Thanks, it's one of the few things from my luggage I really like to wear so I might as well put it to use!'
"Is Paulo OK? Where is he?"
'Oh he's just sleeping. He's always a bit angry in the mornings, its best not to wake him. Beleive me I found out the hard way' Nikki replied with a grin.
'So you okay? You joining the water search?'

'Morning Ruby' Nikki replied with a smile, 'Im good thanks. You?'
"Wel lyou know how it is, a life on a stranded Iland and all that isn't exactly the best of things. But I can't complain the weather's' not too bad today."
'This old thing?' Nikki laughed and gave a twirl, 'Thanks, it's one of the few things from my luggage I really like to wear so I might as well put it to use!'
"It looks really nice on you" she said thinking 'But better on me' she looked at her little number, not quite as glam and probably no where near as expensive. It looked like Nikki had quite a good job back home, but she didn't think to ask.
'Oh he's just sleeping. He's always a bit angry in the mornings, its best not to wake him. Beleive me I found out the hard way' Nikki replied with a grin.
"Oh right, well let's just hope there's no monsters crawling about out there" she laughed shrugging it off after a short period, feeling remorseful she shouldn't joke..considering the circumstances. "Well good to know he's Ok" she looked abck around to the group gathering up and looked abck at Nikki.
'So you okay? You joining the water search?'
"Oh is that what it is? Well I think I had my fair share of adventures for ie day best let them find it for themselves. Is Dr. Shepard going? If so I better check in on him...in the medical profession of course" she smiled

"Oh right, well let's just hope there's no monsters crawling about out there"
'The only monster we've got to worry about is him!' She laughed 'you'll probably see him coming out our shelter in a minuite grunting and groaning so dont run in fear'
Is Dr. Shepard going? If so I better check in on him...in the medical profession of course"
Nikki smirked, 'You got eyes for Jack? I think he's single if you're interested. Classic Desert Island scenario right? Yeah...he's probably going what with that speech last night and all. He said he found a water source right?'

"No...No not at all, it's just that well if he's gallavanting off, I need to know afterall apart from that Vivian Waters woman-who is like a psychologist or whatever- I am the only one with any actual medical and surgical knowledge. Of course I haven't got eyes, for Jack" she said, hoping she was not blushing. Although, it was contradictory of herself to like him after all she went through in the past.
'Yeah...he's probably going what with that speech last night and all. He said he found a water source right?'
"Yeah well, let's hope they find some dehydration can lead to all sorts of things. Oh umm did you find Dr. Arzt by the way? you did say you were looking for him?" she asked politely

"Of course I haven't got eyes, for Jack"
*Paulo enters from Nikki and Paulo's shelter*
Ruby might have said this, however her cheeks told a different story, however she didn't press the matter and before she reply, she saw Paulo staggering over to them with his usually neat hair sticking up at odd angles.
'Nikki, where are my clean socks?' He grunted, squinting at the sudden daylight and looking at her.
Nikki rolled her eyes and smiled before saying 'Sorry Ruby, better go sort this one out'
With that she left Ruby and walked back towards their shelter hand in hand with Paulo.
*Nikki and Paulo leave for Nikki and Paulo's shelter*

RUBY
She saw Paulo come out, he look almost as dazed and confused as Ruby was in the mornings she smiled at him kindly, before he took Nikki away to look for some clean socks.
"Oh OK then I'll catch up with you later!" she called out to them.
She then turned round to look at the sea.
"Now where could Dr. Shepard be?" she said to herself

Don't I feel like a stupid dummy . Anyway I'm just gunna role with it, play along see where it goes. And again I'm sorry for missing the post)) "It's not like I'm asking you a personal question."Jack smiled as he had little friendly bickering with Kate. "It is a personal question," Jack replied with the smile still pasted across his face.

KATE
"You don't have to get all quiet on me. I just want to know," she said with a perpetual grin as she got up on a piece of the fuselage in order to more easily load Jack's backpack with some empty water bottles.
