HEIDI "My apologies," Tusti apologized at the realization that she asked for Heidi's name and didn't give any in return. "My name's Tusti." "No worries. Nice to meet ya, Tusti." I tucked Willo's newspaper back into my shelter and decided to head back toward the direction of the sand castle since I had promised to return there, stopping to ask people for electronics and hoping I'd find some that hadn't been asked yet. ***Heidi leaves for Beach & Shore***

As Gwen headed back in the direction of the abandoned luggage, she noticed Tusti talking with Heidi. She was more than happy to let the young Indian woman handle questioning the rest of the survivors. She didn't exactly feel like Miss Congeniality at the moment anyway. The less face time she had with the passengers, the better. At least for now.
She unzipped the nearest bag and started to rifle through it, distracted by the thought of just how she was going to handle her imminent confession to Sayid. Be honest. Give him nothing short of full disclosure of the facts. Employ self-deprecating humor, if appropriate, but mainly stick with abject apology.
Hey, how are you? I'm fine. Here's the sit rep--we're a thousand miles off course, they're looking in the wrong place, there's a man-eating monster out there, and hidden traps that might ensnare you in a net for several hours. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier. By the way, how do you feel about long walks on the beach? Candlelit Italian dinners? Neurotic British women who might suffer from martyr complexes and have a definite inability to check their emotional baggage?
"Oh, yeah, this is gonna' go great," she muttered to herself, zipping up the useless bag again and tossing it over her shoulder carelessly.

***Sarah enters from F3 - Camp - Jack's Shelter - Day 3-4***
As she walked right into the Camp with a face as long as a fiddle her view recognized someone tiny under a huge bag. It was like an ant carrying a Prada purse. It actually made her smile a little. Instantly Sarah closed up to the woman walking alongside her not hiding the fact that she could walk like a feather beneath the sand instead of that donkey with the cargo. "How are you? Finally found a place in the shadow?" she joked at Gwen. Not intending to be mean but the teasing was a pleasure knowing the history of them both.

"How are you? Finally found a place in the shadow?"
She looked up to see Sarah smirking at her. "Oh, I'm pretty sure damage from UV rays is the least of my worries," she replied, tossing the suitcase aside. "What about you? Did you find what you were looking for?" she inquired. "You said you needed something from the fuselage...?"

Sarah looked back at jack's tent although she didn't want to give that right away. So she shortly after dropped her eyes then looked back at Gwen. "I don't know ... kinda. And you? Why don't you go get a hunky guy carry those for you?" she nodded over to the suitcase quickly changing subject.

"Oh, no thanks. Running a bit low on people skills at the moment," she answered, giving a short laugh, taking a mental inventory of just how many hunky guys she would have alienated by the end of the day. "I'm almost done anyway. Tusti's still going 'round the camp asking people for donations, and I'm getting ready to deliver these two bags to Sayid," she explained.
"You didn't happen to run into the good doctor this afternoon, did you?" she asked.

"Why?" just snapped out of Sarah as she looked at Gwen curiously folding her arms in front of her chest defensively.

Oh, great, Gwen sighed to herself. She really didn't want to face another potential confrontation as Sarah took up the same stance Ana had adopted earlier.
She held up her hands in apology. "Just asking," she said casually. "Jake mentioned he was taking care of a seriously wounded man. I hadn't heard anything about it since then. Granted, if I were stranded on an island with my ex-husband, I'd probably be keeping my distance as well..."

"No ..." Sarah laughed ironically. "I am sorry. Didn't mean to sound offended." She shook her head being surprised about herself ... maybe she actually was a little stuck up. "Yes ... I have seen him, Jack. And no, I was not trying to keep my distance. It was the other way 'round. And I don't know who Jake is but I remember hearing about a soldier with similar name than my ex-husband. If we are talking about the same person that wounded survivor is probably in good hands with him. So, why are you all collecting stuff for this Sarid guy ... is he in charge of the 'lost and found' now?"

"And I don't know who Jake is but I remember hearing about a soldier with similar name than my ex-husband. If we are talking about the same person that wounded survivor is probably in good hands with him."
"Jake's a lieutenant in the Navy. I'm sure you've seen him around--tall, tan, annoyingly optimistic," Gwen explained. "Your ex-husband was treating him for a shoulder wound. I sort of...got volunteered to help in his recovery. But he's fine now. I think."
"So, why are you all collecting stuff for this Sarid guy ... is he in charge of the 'lost and found' now?"
"Actually, it's Sayid," she corrected. "And no, he just needs this electronic equipment to keep working on the transceiver signal. Lost and found? Still my department. Lucky me."

"Sounds cute!" Sarah smirked. "And of course when I finally think a guy is cute Jack had his hands on him before!"
"Actually, it's Sayid," she corrected. "And no, he just needs this electronic equipment to keep working on the transceiver signal. Lost and found? Still my department. Lucky me."
"A transceiver signal? You didn't want to send a distress call did you? Because that would be hell of wasting time and energy!"

"A transceiver signal? You didn't want to send a distress call did you? Because that would be hell of wasting time and energy!"
"Um, well..." she stammered, furrowing her brow. "I do believe that was the point. To help the rescue crews pinpoint our location." Did Sarah know something she didn't know? Or did she already know the thing that she wasn't supposed to know? And was that because Jasmine had decided being trapped in a net was suddenly share-time?
"I'm not sure why you think it would be a waste of time," she prompted.

"Well ..." Sarah seemed confused because that thought seemed so clear to her. "I mean considering the unusual fact that you can get a signal out here. What do you wanna tell the person on the other end considering he or she speaks our language? That we are lost on an island? We don't even know where we are so how should we be help to anyone who wants to find us?"

"Well, it needn't be a question of language. The plane's blackbox should be able to send a signal to the nearest satellite and relay that information to the nearest Coast Guard or military or whatever..."
She waved a hand dismissively. "Look, I don't know the details. I've never been in this situation; I'm making this up as I go, Sarah. But it's the 21st century--people don't just get lost. Sayid seems to think this is the best way to get us off this island, and I'm going to help him in whatever way I can."

Sarah nodded ... she didn't want to take Gwen's hope away by telling her that no handmade transceiver junk could possibly reach a satellite. It takes over a minute to track a cell-phone down in a city like LA and this island was way of. "Well, he is surely very capable!" she added for that matter. "I just think maybe we should concentrate more on our staying then our rescue because I think out there ..." she pointed at the ocean. "... right now, are a lot of people trying to track us. But they cannot help us now, we have to stay alive 'till they come. So ... maybe that's my calling then as I was just stretching my legs in the sand letting my skin tan all day. But let me help you with that luggage first. I wanted to meet our savior Sayid anyway!" She walked over at Gwen offering her helping hand.

"If it's all the same to you, I'd rather concentrate on anything other than staying here," Gwen stated. She knew the hope of prompt rescue was dim, and fading more with every hour, but it was still a hope.
"But let me help you with that luggage first. I wanted to meet our savior Sayid anyway!"
She shrugged, unsure why Sarah was suddenly eager to hop on the teamwork bandwagon. "Suit yourself," she said, handing the backpack over to her and then picking up a duffel bag. "Last I saw him, he was working with Ethan over by the fuselage. But don't be surprised if he gives you orders within moments of meeting you. I think it's a soldier thing..." She started to walk back toward the wreckage, trusting that Sarah would follow.

Tusti nodded as Heidi walked off to gather more electronics and she sat on the beach. She'd been walking and bending over all day to find anything that would get them off this island.
She walked closer to the water and dipped her toes into the ocean, feeling the cool water and the foam of the waves. "This feels like heaven," she thought happily. Her pleasure was soon ceased as she got up on her feet and walked around the camp, hoping for more donations for the "Save Flight 815" Foundation.

After walking around the camp all day and talking with people, Tusti didn't manage to come up with another electronic device and sighed. Maybe she could have gotten more with Heidi, but she dismissed that from her mind. She decided to try and give all this stuff back to Gwen, her impromptu suprevisor, so she walked off to the fuselage.

"Sure you don't want me to carry you, Heidi-honey?" he asked, smirking a little. "Want to set down for now? Need me to get the doc?"
