A beach and shore a little ways away from the survivor's camps. Location found in box G4 below: Each box is 3 miles by 3 miles. It takes an hour to walk 3 miles. But also keep in mind that hiking (like that really steep hill to get to higher ground) will take a heck of a lot longer and that if you're running (like from some jungle thing), that you'll get somewhere faster.

JACK
He found himself once again staring out at the blank ocean, wishing something would come, something would get them out of there. He closed his eyes at felt the fiery burn under his eye lids. Inhaled threw his nose and stared at the ocean, speechless, and motionless.

***Gwen enters from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
She walked round the curved shoreline, taking in the scenery and listening to the waves, and stopped in her tracks when she saw someone sitting on the beach by themselves. As she got closer, she could tell it was Jack. Probably exhausted from several days of being the in-demand doctor.
For a moment, she was tempted to simply sneak behind him and keep following the shoreline. He'd obviously come out this far to get away from everything, and he seemed more in the mood for meditating than chatting.
She continued to walk along the treeline, glancing at him every now and then. If he wanted to speak to her, it was his choice, but she wouldn't willingly disturb him.

~Jinx~
Sporting just her towel, she made it to the beach. She of course ran out of sunscreen, so she wouldn't stay out to long. The afternoon would get Seriously hot and the sun would Burn her skin to a crisp, Jinx didn't like that very much. With a smile she saw jack, and down the beach a ways she could see someone, Looked like Gwen. Jinx figured she was trying to find somewhere to wash up herself, but more Private.
Jinx didn't have a problem with Public Nudity, and this time she didn't have to worry about Camera's or an angry boyfriend Yelling at her. One other thing about being a celebrity, she got out of paying certain things...Indecent exposure fine of Three hundred Dollars. The label paid off, because The previous year jinx's Album sold over 23 million copies.
She did moved Further down the beach, so as not to walk by Other people without her Towel on. But when she got to a safe distance she smiled and slipped off her Towel, The sun was a welcomed Change on her skin. Walking into the water, she was doubtful. she knew it would be cold, and she didn't like cold. "God its freezing, you think it would be warm with all the sun?" Jinx smiled and ran right into the water with a smile driving under the crystal blue water.

He sat still staring at the ocean, he had every thought and problem flashing over and over again in his mind. He closed his eyes and smiled, but still he didn't move, "You spying on me?" he asked.

Gwen closed her eyes as she cringed and froze at Jack's words. Busted. "Ah, well, y'know..." she stammered sheepishly, "it seemed like a fun way to pass the time."
She approached him, the most apologetic look she could muster on her face. "Sorry to disturb you. I know you probably haven't had a moment's peace since the crash. So hey, I'll just keep walking, shall I?" she offered, jerking a thumb over her shoulder toward the east.

She winced and come out of the water, she though the Bandage would cover her wound but... not so much. "I'm a fucking Speical ass." she sighed and picked up her Towel, Patting the water on her stitched wound. she was clean but now, but hurting.

He turned to look at her, he was now smiling, which was odd cause that was the first time he had smiled in the past 8 hours.
"Sorry to disturb you. I know you probably haven't had a moment's peace since the crash. So hey, I'll just keep walking, shall I?"
He pointed to a patch of sand beside him, "You can stick around if you want," he offered.

She was a little surprised by the invitation. Thinking it was probably rare, she decided to take advantage of it. Briefly. After all, he looked like he had a lot on his mind and her nervous rambling wouldn't help.
She kneeled beside him in the sand. "The exhausted look agrees with you, by the way," she said with a smile. "Must be a med school prerequisite. Have you gotten any sleep at all?"

He laughed and nodded, "No... not yet, guess I haven't really tried, being tired doen't bother me," he admited. He rubbed his eyes, "So what have you been up to? I've noticed you got yours hands full too."

She laughed slightly as she fidgeted with the stranger's clothing bundled in her arms. "Oh, this? Change of clothes," she explained. "I thought I might find somewhere to give myself a seawater shower. Otherwise, I'll never be awake."
She looked away back toward the trees and then back at him. "Were you at the memorial last night?" she inquired. "It's just...I didn't see you there. But then a lot of people chose not to go. I sort of felt like I had to be there, for my co-workers, y'know?"

He nodded trying to show he understood, he didn't want to push anyone over the edge, "No, yeah I get it, and no... I wasn't there, I've never been that great with... death," he looking away and then back at her.

"I suppose that's a good thing," she remarked. "Drives you to save all your patients."
She furrowed her brow in concern. "But Jack, there's gonna' be a lot of loose ends around here. And you should know that you don't have to be responsible for saving everyone. You can let some things go," she said, gently laying a hand on his arm. "Trust the rest of us to be able to pick up the slack, okay?"

He laughed, "You have no idea how many times people have told me that... old habbits you know."
You can let some things go,"
He paused in thought for a second, something seemed so firmiliar about that, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

She nodded in agreement. "No, I completely understand. But I also think we deserve a fresh start here. Having survived a plane crash and all. This..." she said, her hand sweeping across the island. "This is our clean slate, Jack. A second chance, to maybe learn from our mistakes. Believe me, I know it's not easy, but... it's worth a shot, don't you think?"
She smiled at him once again while getting to her feet. "Well, I've pestered you enough. I'll leave you to your introspective staring. Oh, and could you make sure that Jinxy doesn't drown herself out there?" she asked, gesturing down the beach where the blonde woman was splashing.
"See you later, doc." She clapped him on the shoulder and started walking off toward the east, following the shoreline.

Now out of the water, she slipped her Swim suit on and used her Towel to lay down in the rays. She would only of course lay for a while, no sun screen equals pain and honestly she didn't want to deal.
"Next time I choose running away from the beast, didn't hurt so damn much." she mumbled to herself.

KATE
***Kate enters from Fuselage and Surrounding Area***
Kate spotted Jack sitting on the shore and staring out to sea. She walked over and sat down next to him, giving him a smile when he looked at her. "Hey. Just wanted to let you know, Sayid got the transceiver to work but there is no reception on the beach. So we're going on a hike to higher ground." She looked behind her at the mountain to signify where they'd be going then looked back at Jack.

*enters with Jemima*
Krystal and Jemima walked down the shore, in silence.
Finally, Krystal felt the need to speak.
"Lovey," Krystal said to Jemima, "what are we here for again?"

"You were going to tell me today's plan," she laughed. She overheard the Kate woman talking to the doctor, "Are they going on a hike?" she asked.

Krystal was only partially listening... something about the doctor going on a hike to higher ground.
"Is he?" She asked, surprised. Why would they want to do that, and risk being ignored by the rescue planes?
