"Hm, I don't recall seeing anybody carrying an armful of wet clothes around but maybe she'd taken care of it by the time I wandered out here. Only people I've seen that are no longer visible are Gwen and Bella and I believe you know Gwen so unless it's Bella..." I shrugged yet again.

"Fine. I guess Saint Boone will go and get you a bottle of water"
"Well, then I'll just have to do my best to ensure he gets canonized" James replied, turning and following Boone, his attempts to reign in his sarcasm penetrated somewhat by Shannon's self-interested attitude.

BOONE "Well, then I'll just have to do my best to ensure he gets canonized"Boone smiled, he was pleased with the fact that a complete stranger was willing to stick for him, even if the situation was just him and his sister bickering. "I think you'll find he's short a few miracles,"Boone frowned but hid it by turning his head, he hated what his sister said, but she wasn't exactly wrong. Sure he tried his hardest to help out, but he never really succeeded in what he was trying to do, and normally he just made a problem a lot worse. Boone remained silent for a few more seconds, before he broke the silence with, "So how about that water huh?" he said smiling. He turned around and walked to where he had the water. A stopped a few yards down the beach and reached for a piece of tarp hidden behind bush. He opened up the tarp and grabbed a bottle. There had to at least be 8 or 9 bottled in that one stash alone. Boone covered it up, and placed the tarp back where he found it. Boone walked back towards his sister and James, carrying the bottle in his hand...

Ruby stayed silent during the course of the water bottle arguement she didn't want to show herself up infront of anyone, plus she didn't want to feel the wrath of Boone or Shannon if she dared to take sides because (oddly) she did actually like the squabbling siblings, There was a bit of an awkward silence after
"I was trying to do you a favour then Shannon, what a way to go and blow it!" she smiled in a non offensive way, she didn't really want to have another row with her

"I was trying to do you a favour then Shannon, what a way to go and blow it!"
She turned back from watching Boone walk away to give the British brunette a disbelieving look. "I don't need your favors, Nurse Betty," she said. "And as you can see, I've already got someone second-guessing me and telling me how to run my life, thanks."

RUBY
Ruby breathed a deep sigh, and rolled her eyes at Shannon
"He's just trying to look out for you Shannon, it's nice, you know having someone there to go through this with, I never had any brothers or sisters so I never really had anyone to grow up with so you should be thankful...." Ruby started to remember how lonely she was back in the past, but shortly snapped out.
"Anyway you can't just let a guy like James Woodhouse float by, I mean this a big island but it's very short of hotties!" she laughed
She looked round the island giggling and paused for thought.
"Oh and by the way no offanse, Nurse Betty sounds like a lovely name but it is actually Trainee Nurse Ruby Carling, just thought I'd inform you!" she smiled

"Anyway you can't just let a guy like James Woodhouse float by, I mean this a big island but it's very short of hotties!"
"Yeah, a guy who looks at me like I have the plague--he seems like a great catch," Shannon replied. Apart from Charlie and Billy, she hadn't really been seeking male attention as she normally would. Maybe she was still smarting from Bryan's double-cross back in Sydney, or maybe she was still processing what that night together in the hotel meant for her and Boone. They'd agreed that things would go back to the way they were. Or rather she'd stated that they would; whether he agreed or not was still a point of discussion. And no doubt her continued silence would only provoke more questions from Nurse Ruby.
"Boone and I didn't grow up together," she explained. "His mom married my dad, so he's my stepbrother. Usually I only see him when he feels the need to fix a part of my life. Otherwise he's busy running some wedding company."

RUBY
"Oh sorry, I just thought..." Ruby faded her conversation out before she was verging on the edge of digging a hole for herself
"And he's probably a bit nervous about you that's all, British men always get a bit shy now and then, we can't all be loud a wild like you Americans, maybe he just needs some time" she reassured Shannon
"Either that or something's happened to his brain during the crash, but he probably wouldn't of because I would of picked up some symptoms by..." once again Ruby thought that Shannon probably wasn't interested in this topic of conversation and faded it off once more.
"So do you think anyone's coming, like to save us?" Ruby wondered

"So do you think anyone's coming, like to save us?"
Uh, no, some crazy French woman's been here for like 16 years and never got rescued and probably met a horrible death, just like we all will, is what Shannon was tempted to say. Instead she just shrugged and said, "Yeah, sure. It's probably just taking a while to find the black box or whatever."

RUBY
"You know I'm suprised none of the crew have told us anything, I mean they know most about the plane don't they?" Ruby was curious but she'd save that topic for another time
"Boone's taking a while" she commented "Mind you that's probably a good thing in your prospective, we don't really get told much here do we? That US Marshal, we don't even know who he arrested or if he arrested someone or if he's dead yet, it sucks being stranded on an island, well I suppose we've not ended up like Lord Of The Flies, you have read that haven't you?" she asked "If not...don't, not that we'll be going anywhere at the moment!" she sighed

"I don't really read much apart from Cosmo," she said. "And that's not exactly helpful when you're stuck on an island. Well, maybe the stuff about foundations with built-in sunblock..."
"You know I'm suprised none of the crew have told us anything, I mean they know most about the plane don't they?"
She gave a short laugh. "Yeah, good luck getting anything out of the ice princess stewardess. I haven't seen her do anything more than dig through dead people's luggage and hit on every guy in the near vicinity," Shannon told her.

HEIDI WILLO "I didn't catch her name, I'm afraid," he said. "It's alright, I'll figure it out tomorrow." "Yah, chances are, she's over it by now anyway. If we can survive what we've been through so far, I'm sure being subjected to short tempers won't have much of a lasting affect. But anyway," I said waving a hand, "stay here for a sec and I'll get your paper. Make sure she doesn't wander off," I added pointing to the tent as I walked toward mine. After quietly going in and out so as not to wake Bella, I walked back to Willo and held the paper out to him. "Here ya go. Thanks aga---" I was stopped short by a loud sound that I'd never heard before and yet found familiar. ***THE SOUND OF A GUN SHOT FROM THE F3 AREA RINGS THROUGHOUT THE CAMP***

Willo just lowered his head. He had a feeling it was coming, but, well, you never expect to hear a gunshot. He looked back at Heidi and shook his head.
He didn't speak, he turned his head back to the ground, then looked around, knowing that everyone on this island knew exactly what had just happened--save Grace.

He opened his eyes at the sound of the gunshot, and then rested back, closing them again. "Finally." he mumbled under his breath. Might get some sleep now.
He stood, and headed for his shelter.

"Thanks, I really appreciate it" James said, taking the water from Boone. "Sorry you had to get such an earfull because of it" he added quietly. And then he heard it, a single gunshot piercing through the night...
"What the hell's going on?" he exclaimed loudly, staring straight toward the tent currently housing the marshall.

"Was that--" but I didn't need to finish asking. I knew by what I'd seen on TV and films and by the expression on Willo's face that it had been a gun shot. By the lack of panic in the camp, I figured someone had put that man, the one who had been suffering since day one and had no chance of living, out of his mysery. Last I'd heard, Jack had said it was out of the question to kill him and had been determined to keep trying to save him. Did he change his mind or did someone take it upon themselves to do it?
Even though I knew there was no danger, I still couldn't help the shakiness from the adrenaline and I could feel myself pale a bit. I'd never in my life been near a killing as I'd lived my life in safe places. The carnage from a plane crash I had unfortunately experienced but one person killing another; that was a new one.
I snapped out of my trance and picked up the newspaper that I didn't realize I'd let go of. "Um, thank you again. Here," I said in a quiet, flat tone as I held the paper out once again.

"What the hell's going on?"
"I don't know, but maybe we can finally get some sleep around here," she remarked, jumping to the same conclusion as probably everyone else, that someone had put shrapnel wound guy out of their misery. "And that's one less bottle of our water that you can give away," she said to Boone, walking past him toward their shelter.

James scowled at Shannon's back and moved slowly toward the makeshift medical shelter. So his journalistic instincts hadn't quite crashed and burned with the plane after all, the desire to know what was going on, to confirm the unknown even if that meant discovering the worst...it was all still there on some level. He hoped that his assumptions were wrong, but the closer he got, the more he realised this to be sheer optimistic folly.
