“Well, I can’t be completely certain, but I have a feeling it’s got something to do with that bug being introduced to Gwen’s ear hole” James replied amusedly. It was only as he stopped stifling his laughter that he realised Ana was indeed heading in the direction of the stewardess’ shelter; a particularly ominous sign.
"You don't think she actually would, do you?" he added, turning to look at Mason apprehensively.

"I wouldn't put it past her," Mason said, scratching his chin. "But I don't want to try and talk her out of it, how about you?"

"Not if it means she puts that thing in my ear instead" James replied darkly. He had only known Ana a short while, but already he knew that she was not the type to be messed with. There was clearly some bad blood between her and Gwen, but past experience alone told him not to get involved unless he had to. He would intervene only if the situation became more serious.

MASON "My thoughts exactly," he said, watching her walk off. "She seems a tad bit unstable, if you ask me."

“Yeah…” James replied as the reality of Mason’s words began to dawn on him. “…Yeah, she certainly is…listen, I’ll speak to you again in a minute, yeah? Before things get completely out of hand!” James added with a smile. He turned and hurried after Ana; he had been convinced that she was bluffing but now realised that her intentions were indeed highly serious.
“Look, Ana…” he began, drawing level with her and standing far enough away to ensure that the offending insect could not be thrown near any of his orifices. “I really think Jack’s got enough on his hands with the half Marshall, half Banshee without having to extract bugs from people’s ears” he reasoned.

MASON Deciding it was best to attack the problem from multiple angles, he walked down the beach to where Ethan and Gwen were, shouting at Gwen before he got in ear shot, not to be rude, but actually quite the opposite. They looked like they were in a serious conversation.
"Gwen," he yelled, shaking his head, coming closer. As he got near, he switched to his inside voice. "You've done it now, Gwen."

“Look, Ana…”
Ana had paused between shelters to slip her boots back on when someone called her name. Knelt down on one knee fastening her laces, she glanced over her shoulder to see James striding upto her.
“I really think Jack’s got enough on his hands with the half Marshall, half Banshee without having to extract bugs from people’s ears”
She finished knotting her laces, retrieved the bug-filled bottle from the sand where she'd temporarily put it down, and stood back upto full height to face him.
"You eavesdropping?" She accused him, her temper re-ignited by his comment.

"Sorry, not tonight" James replied calmly. "I could hear bits of what you were saying from where I was stood. I didn't have to drop any eaves".

BOONE
He lay silent in the sand, he was practically motionless, except for his chest moving up and down.
Boone!!
He eyes shot open. He blinked a couple times and stood up. He looked around trying to get his barrings. He was still a bit hazy when he realized it was Shannon who was calling him, but he still couldn't see her. He shut his eyes tight, trying balance himself out. When he opened his eyes, he could see Shannon off in the distance. She hadn't noticed him yet. "Shannon!" he called out.
Boone was almost irritated by the constant whining from Shannon, and her list of demands. If Boone had it his way, he probably would have just cut her out of the picture, not just since the crash, but his entire life, but that wasn't the way Boone wanted things. He knew that, although it annoyed him deeply, that's the way he wanted it, and he wouldn't change her if he could.

"Gwen," Mason yelled, shaking his head, coming closer. As he got near, he switched to his inside voice. "You've done it now, Gwen."
As she lay on the sand with her eyes closed, just listening to the waves and the ambient sounds of the camp and seriously considering Ethan's suggestion of sleeping for the next 50 days, she heard her name being called. Reluctantly, she raised herself up on her elbows and looked to see who was approaching.
"And what exactly have I done, Mr. Mason?" she asked wearily.

MASON "Sounds like you had a rough day," he said, scratching his head. He sat down next to her, about an arm length away, and looked at her laying in the sand. He rubbed his five o'clock shadow covered face and let out a long sigh.
"Did you happen to teach that bumbling man some Spanish to attempt to impress our incredibly volatile castaway in an attempt to woo her?"

SHANNON
"Shannon!"
Finally hearing her half brother's voice amidst all the other survivors doing whatever they did at night around here, she made a beeline for him. "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere," she demanded. "Y'know, I'm so glad that you set aside some food rations for me while you were busy being a good little boy scout today. I really appreciate it. And here I was, worried that I might starve out here..." she rattled off, hoping that the sarcasm wasn't lost on him. She was his family, he should have been looking out for her, but all the other survivors suddenly seemed to have surpassed her on Boone's priority list.
She crossed her arms and tilted her head in appraisal of him. "You look like hell, by the way."

"Did you happen to teach that bumbling man some Spanish to attempt to impress our incredibly volatile castaway in an attempt to woo her?"
"Well, yes, I..." Her voice trailed off and she sat upright quickly as she realized what he'd said. "Oh, bollocks...He didn't actually try to talk to Ana, did he?"
She nervously ran her hands through her hair. "I'm dead. I'm so very dead," she chanted with concern.

MASON "He's got a pair, though, judging on recent events, it would be a miracle if he actually put them to use..." he said, looking at her. "Well, you've got two choices, you can deal with whatever punishment Ana decides to give out, or you can try and make things right."
He looked down, then turned away from her, grabbing a stone and throwing it down into the ocean.
"Listen, if you want, I'll go with you. I don't want you to get socked in the face or anything, and she seems like a sparkplug. Or, perhaps a toaster in a bathtub."

"Well, you've got two choices, you can deal with whatever punishment Ana decides to give out, or you can try and make things right."
"Make things right? Make things right?!" she repeated incredulously. "Look, she is the one who got up in my face this morning, completely unprovoked, and...and..." She bit down on her words, aware that saying anything else about their earlier argument would only make things worse. She glanced to Ethan for support, since he knew the full details of the situation between the two women.
"Sod it, I've got nothing to apologize for. And it isn't my fault that Arzt chose to make an ass of himself. I certainly never thought Ana would let that wanker get a word in edgewise."

MASON "Gwen, I wasn't suggesting that you were wrong, only that she is a powderkeg that you, unwittingly perhaps, ignited," he said, shrugging. "I've pretty much that I don't have the pull I'm used to here, and I'm not used to being on equal grounds with people, so that makes this really difficult for me, Gwen. But I happen to know the Ana is plotting revenge right now, and if someone doesn't man up and end this, it'll just keep going."
Mason glanced out at sea, and then looked back at Gwen. "Don't be John Antioco and let your ego get in your way."

Ethan had laid down on his back as Gwen and Mason talked. Then, he took his hands off his eyes and sat up with a yawn as Gwen looked at him.
"Sod it, I've got nothing to apologize for. And it isn't my fault that Arzt chose to make an ass of himself. I certainly never thought Ana would let that wanker get a word in edgewise."
"Exactly. This isn't your fault. Besides, at worse Ana will yell at you for five minutes, we'll both tell her to...'sod off', or something, and that'll be that." he replied. "Arzt will come off the worst. Besides, Ana has other things on her mind instead of revenge."

"Don't be John Antioco and let your ego get in your way."
She quirked an eyebrow at him. "I fail to see what the CEO of Blockbuster has to do with any of this," she retorted. "Unless you're thinking of starting your own video store here on the island..."
"Arzt will come off the worst. Besides, Ana has other things on her mind instead of revenge."
"Right," she nodded in agreement with Ethan, believing that any retribution from Ana would take the form of simple hair-pulling and name-calling, then turned back to Erik. "Ana's already having to enlist others to do her damage control. I hardly think she wants another count of unaggravated assault and battery on her rap sheet."
Though she also wanted to make it clear that he wasn't the only executive producer she'd ever dealt with and studio power plays wouldn't work around here. "But thank you for stepping down among the common people and offering us your wisdom, Mr. Mason. It's very much appreciated," she said, smiling sweetly.

He shot Gwen a sly, impressed little smile. He certainly hadn't expected that, and it was something he knew was there. That little spark of aggression and rebellion. One of the many things that continued to draw him in.

"Blockbuster lost three billion dollars over the last two years because of his ego," Mason retorted quickly. "He could have had exclusive rights to DVDs, instead they're in the front of Walmart."
"But thank you for stepping down among the common people and offering us your wisdom, Mr. Mason. It's very much appreciated," she said, smiling sweetly.
"Listen sister, I don't know who you think I am, but I am sure I'm not that person," He stood up, and brushed off his pants. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go see what Ana's doing in your shelter."
Mason flashed a sweet smile back at her, and slowly walked off, in the direction of camp.
