***Sarah and Gwen enter packed from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp - Day 4***
As they were dragging the luggage over at the fuselage Gwen was clearly setting the direction. "Orders huh?" Sarah recited. "You remember our talk earlier, do you? About me and taking orders." she smirked. Gwen slowly turned direction towards Jack's tent were a dark skinned guy with frizzy black hair was building another tent, water basin or something. Sarah stopped, watching over at the tent, knowing that Jack was probably still there. "Were are we heading? I thought we were going to see the technics geek!"

"You remember our talk earlier, do you? About me and taking orders." she smirked.
"You were the one who volunteered for luggage duty," she reminded Sarah, trying to avoid rolling her eyes. Honestly, the bags were not that heavy. "And also, if you're so concerned about making our stay here more pleasant, you might have to help out with things like building shelters, gathering food and water. Unless you think that would be a waste of time and energy..."
"Were are we heading? I thought we were going to see the technics geek!"
"We are. And that would be him," Gwen replied, following Sarah's line of sight, feeling a mix of happiness and nervousness at seeing him again. She approached him tentatively and with a pleasant smile.
"Hey," she began softly, not wanting to interrupt Sayid's work. "Special delivery. This is all the electronic equipment I've managed to gather. Tusti's still canvassing the rest of the camp. Where would you like us to put this stuff?" she asked, unaware if he had a shelter or something nearby.
Feeling Sarah staring at her, she quickly added an introduction. "Oh, and this is Sarah. Sarah, Sayid."

"Well, yeah. The electronics first, the humans second." Sarah smirked as her hand reached out to introduce herself to the arabian guy after setting down the suitcase. "And as you are looking for transistors and cables. I was carrying a laptop in the cargo-hold. Don't know where it is but ..." Her view caught something on a huge pile of electronic equipment. "Oh, seems like someone already found it. Just .... ignore the 'My Pictures' folder." she joked.

"Really?" Gwen asked, seemingly as surprised as Sarah by the computer's appearance. "Well...good. I was worried that Sawyer had claimed all the computers. And I've found he's not exactly the sharing type."

"God, Are you really that hungry?" She asked her wondering what that little outburst was about.
"What?" Krystal aked, confused, "I ain't gonna try and communicate with some Asian guy that doesn't speak English, especially," Krystal added dryly, "if he ain't gonna give away any food!"

"Sawyer?!" Sarah gave Gwen a questioning look.

Gwen looked away uncomfortably. "Yeah, I made the mistake of thinking he'd want to contribute," she said casually, regretting that she'd even brought it up. "Lesson learned. I won't make that mistake again," she stated, with an assuring nod to Sayid. If anyone knew about Sawyer's lack of compassion, it would be him.

"Were are we heading? I thought we were going to see the technics geek!"
"We are. And that would be him," Gwen replied, following Sarah's line of sight, feeling a mix of happiness and nervousness at seeing him again. She approached him tentatively and with a pleasant smile.
Sayid was busy tying the rope supports on the tarp to keep it fit smugly against the container it was held in. Overhearing the conversation between the women as he approached them, he raised an eyebrow at the label he had been given. He may have been given something simular by his friends, but usually they were the ones who were more into the geeky side of technics, playing Half-Life and other suchvideo games, while he had been trained with electronics in his country's military. "What can I help you with?" he asked the two ladies, dismissing the comment almost as soon as it came.
"Hey," she began softly, not wanting to interrupt Sayid's work. "Special delivery. This is all the electronic equipment I've managed to gather. Tusti's still canvassing the rest of the camp. Where would you like us to put this stuff?" she asked, unaware if he had a shelter or something nearby.
Feeling Sarah staring at her, she quickly added an introduction. "Oh, and this is Sarah. Sarah, Sayid."
"Hello, Sarah." Sayid greeted, shaking Sarah's hand an offered a brief and tired smile. "Thank you. If you would just put it all there next to the blue backpack by my tent, that would be fine."
Sarah smirked as her hand reached out to introduce herself to the arabian guy after setting down the suitcase. "And as you are looking for transistors and cables. I was carrying a laptop in the cargo-hold. Don't know where it is but ..." Her view caught something on a huge pile of electronic equipment. "Oh, seems like someone already found it. Just .... ignore the 'My Pictures' folder." she joked.
Sayid didn't really have a good sense of humour, and if that was ever evident in any case to prove as such, it would have been at that moment. He looked at Sarah. "I assure you, there will be no looking up your files, your privacy will not be breached. We simply need the wiring, the hardware and the batteries to operate what we need."
"Really?" Gwen asked, seemingly as surprised as Sarah by the computer's appearance. "Well...good. I was worried that Sawyer had claimed all the computers. And I've found he's not exactly the sharing type."
"Sawyer?!" Sarah gave Gwen a questioning look.
Gwen looked away uncomfortably. "Yeah, I made the mistake of thinking he'd want to contribute," she said casually, regretting that she'd even brought it up. "Lesson learned. I won't make that mistake again," she stated, with an assuring nod to Sayid. If anyone knew about Sawyer's lack of compassion, it would be him.
In reply to Gwen's nod, Sayid felt she expected a response from him. "It is true. Sawyer is not very co-operative." he agreed, not wanting to get into the topic too much. He didn't want to remember about the fight he had felt with him, and had felt a little ashamed at himself that it had to take Kate and the other survivors to calm him down. If she and the others had not been there with him on the hike, he felt he would have lost his temper at him - and then, he wasn't sure what he would do.
"When Tusti comes back, I will collect what electronic equipment she has gathered together with the rest." he informed them, winding up the conversation and sticking to business. "Thank you for your help. If you would like to continue to help, I'm finishing up the remainder of the tarps to collect water around the campsite, perhaps both of you would like to help me. Otherwise, take a break and reserve your strength for tomorrow." he nodded, hoping giving them something to do would still provide them hope until rescue arrived - once Sayid had figured out the problem of how to get around the signal he had heard on the hike...

Gwen suppressed a smile as she looked over at Sarah. It was just as she'd told her; not that Sayid was issuing orders, merely making a suggestion. But she could imagine Sarah's forthcoming indignant reply. And for what Gwen had to tell him, she needed Sayid in a...hospitable mood. Right now seemed about as good as it got. But she worried that she still didn't have the fortitude to tell him. Maybe if she just said everything quickly...
"Um, actually, I was wondering if I might speak with you," she requested, not intentionally trying to avoid the choice between water-collecting or resting, just wanting to get her confession over with. "I mean, y'know, when you have a moment. It's not terribly urgent," she added, downplaying the urgency in her voice.

Charlie nodded at the pregnant woman as they pulled the wheelchair along. "Good. So, your husband. Was he on the flight?" he wondered, a little curious about the girls' pregnancy and wanting to get to know her better.
CLAIRE As Claire helped push the wheelchair she glanced at the man. She wasn't really surprised at the question. Many people had asked similiar questions so she already knew what her reply would be.
"Oh, I'm not married." She said. She looked over at him knowing what his reaction would probably be. "I know- How modern of me." She said with a little sarcasm. Even though most people's reactions to this information were the same (usually an 'oh' or a nervous smile) she looked at him to see what his reply would be and whether he would be different.

"What?" Krystal asked, confused, "I ain't gonna try and communicate with some Asian guy that doesn't speak English, especially," Krystal added dryly, "if he ain't gonna give away any food!"
Natalie looked at Krystal wide eyed. Was she in a bad mood? Natalie better be careful what she said just in case. "Well, it's not really his fault..." She said cautiously. She hoped this wouldn't start an argument.

SAYID
"Um, actually, I was wondering if I might speak with you,"
Sayid finished tying off one corner of the tarp and looked up at Gwen a little curious, wondering what this could be about.
"Of course." he replied, looking between her and Sarah expectantly, waiting to hear what they might have to say to him.
CHARLIE
"Oh." Charlie said at first, a little surprised. It wasn't expected that pregnant women flew alone, or even at all, but Charlie accepted the new information.
"Well, who needs men, right? Bloody useless." he joke as they reached their destination, hauled the heavy suitcase off the wheelchair for her. Once he had done so, he turned to her and grinned, hoping she had a good enough sense of humor not to take offense to what he said.

The area around the fuselage was crowded with shelters and debri. Most people were setting up camp, and seemed to have calmed down since the day of the crash. Of course there was still a select few that were still in shock but for the most part everyone had come to terms with what happened. Still the fact was that all of these survivors were stuck on the island with no possibility of getting off, unless found by rescuers. Could it get any worse?
The forest seemed silent for the most part, but then the sound of twigs breaking could be heard, as if someone was coming. Was it a person? Could it be another survivor? Suddenly that question was answered when a loud moan rung out.
After about a minute another moan of pain enters the air and all goes silent.

"Of course." he replied, looking between her and Jasmine expectantly, waiting to hear what they might have to say to him.
She swallowed hard, glancing at Sarah again and trying to find an excuse to be out of earshot. "Well, it's actually concerns about the existing prepared food trays, or lack thereof," she began, nodding back toward the shore and stepping away, hoping that Sayid would follow.
Once they had passed by Charlie and Claire, and were sufficiently isolated, she started again. "Okay, it's not really about the food. Although that is a concern. I'm just not a very good liar, which sort of brings me to my point."
She finally paused and faced him, taking a deep breath. "Which is that I would like to take this horribly inopportune time to be perfectly honest with you," she declared. "I know you didn't ask for it, and it's very unfair to you, but..." she let her voice trail off. She needed to make him understand; she needed to let him know that all his efforts were appreciated and still valid, despite the hopelessness that might be implied by what she was about to say.
"Look, you've taken on the responsibility of protecting these people, providing for them, and for that I'm grateful. You must know that. But I think you deserve to know just what it is you're up against here."

"I assure you, there will be no looking up your files, your privacy will not be breached. We simply need the wiring, the hardware and the batteries to operate what we need."
Sarah was surely a little surprised about his lack of humor but considering the situation and the work he was up too it was not that unusual. "Fair enough ... use it." she just replied nodding at the computer.
And then he started on military mode talking to his Privates. Sarah was almost laughing inside. Gwen seems to knew him quite well so far. And finally her secretive behavior all made sense.
"Um, actually, I was wondering if I might speak with you," she requested, not intentionally trying to avoid the choice between water-collecting or resting, just wanting to get her confession over with. "I mean, y'know, when you have a moment. It's not terribly urgent," she added, downplaying the urgency in her voice.

Sarah watched them leave without any further information for her. Well, no order was better than a stupid one. She dismissed them and her thoughts about it with a smirk. Putting the suitcase she had been taking along toward the pile like Sayid had told her she looked over at him and Gwen again as they stood a few feet away now. Suddenly the flight attendant lady seemed to emit a glow of unsecurity. That was something ... she really seemed to have a thing for him. Because there is only one reason for self confident women to get shy around a guy ... that's something Sarah knew too well.

***Billy enters from his shelter***
There was the blonde, flowing hair. And to a less poetic degree, the perfect ass, as she was facing away from him.
He strode over to her. "Hey there. What's going on?"

Sarah turned around with a surprising look that turned amazed right when she saw him. Saw it: The sunny smile completed by the sparkling eyes of his. "Hey!" she sang. "I was just observing really funny first encounters of future lovers!" she nodded over at Gwen and Sayid. "Funny what feelings the island seems to unleash on some people."

"Oh, yes. I assume you're talking about Gwen and Sayid." He didn't really care either way. Gwen and Sayid's business was Gwen and Sayid's business, and none of his. "Would you like to go for a walk?"

"Sure!" she smirked. Although she had some things on her mind to do, a walk with Billy was a thing to come first rather naturally. "So what is it with your rather seducing attire? Have you been in a fight?" she joked, realizing his half unbuttoned shirt and the rolled up sleeves. "Or are you seeking one?" Sarah clenched her fists with faked anger as they started walking.

He chuckled lightly. "No, just warmer than I'm used to. I'm from a pretty cold country by your standards."

"Anyway it looks good on you!" she dismissed. "So where might that country be and what the hell are my standards?!" she laughed.
