John smiled at their bickering, and then took a step back. He raised his foot, using it to open his case, revealing five varied, terribly sharp professional hunting knives.

HURLEY
"Who is this guy?" he wondered aloud, summing up everyone else's curious looks.

Gwen turned to Severin with a confused expression. "Y'know, John told me about seeing boar on the island a few days ago. Never once mentioned that he knew how to hunt them," she remarked. "Or that he'd managed to pack a small arsenal."

James felt his eyes widen slightly at the varied selection of knives contained within Locke's case. He allowed his eyes to roam over each one, his mind turning subconsciously back to a murder case he and Lydia had solved two years back. The murderer had been smuggling illegal bladed weapons into the country and had not reacted well when one of his buyers backed out and threatened to expose him.
James looked slowly up at Locke, his face shadowed with incredulity. He had most likely been carrying the knives for no reason other than hunting, but there was still one niggling concern he just couldn't shake from the back of his mind. Anyone who hunted for sport with such dedication had the capacity to kill. And with that usually came a subconscious ability to shift into the realms of murder, particularly if exposed to the right conditions...

JACK
He couldn't help, but have his jaw dropped in shock. He put on a faded smile, he was impressed, Locke definitely seemed to know what he was doing. And in the end, Jack felt he'd be very grateful for it.
"Who is this guy?"
He looked back at Hurley, but only for a split second. Jack was thinking the same damn thing.

WILLO "Jesus," he said, looking to Grace, and then back at Locke. He had seen hunting kits before, but never like this.

Little Sarah
Sarah watched all the stuff taking place, she didn’t like the idea that Mr. Locke had smuggled knives in, and she didn’t like the idea that most people wanted to hurt and kill baby animals, but it was survival. Sarah understood about survival, after all she was surviving, on the run from her crazy Aunt who wanted to lock her away. She walked over to John and smiled.
“I trust you.”

HEIDI
I stood staring at the case with my mouth agape. "That's a lot of knives," I said to myself. Very sharp knives, the kind you see in movies and T.V. as murder weapons, not your standard kitchen knives. My view was obstructed as someone walked by me. "Sarah," I called out as I reached for her but she was already out of my reach. I watched in surprised as she just boldly walked up to John and the case of knives, then quickly went over to get her.
"I trust you."
"Sarah, sweetie, let's let him alone so he can plan the hunting expedition." I smiled sheepishly at Locke. "Um, thanks. For helping with the food shortage," I clarified. I took little Sarah's hand and headed away from the case of knives in the direction of the shelters, giving one last glance over my shoulder at the case.
***Little Sarah and Heidi leave for G3 - Area of Survivors Camp***

KATE
Kate stood in the same spot and watched the scene. She waited until things had calmed and people had started losing interest and moving away. Now that only a few people milled around, Kate approached Locke. "So," she said as she gave the case of knives a cursory glance as if there was nothing out of the ordinary, then back at Locke, "when do we leave?"

MASON
As the crowd broke up, Mason slowly made his way up to Locke, but stood waiting patiently as Kate spoke with him. Tact was one of Mason's lesser known abilities. Mainly because the only people who discussed encounters with him were people who had less power than he did. And he saw no reason to be tactful to people who couldn't harm you. It had gotten him into trouble a couple of times, but he saw his bluntness as a tool. He figured the less time people spent worrying about his motovations, the better. He--for some reason--was nervious. Mason cursed himself and hoped he didn't blurt out, in a faux-Austrailian accent 'THAT'S a knife.'
WILLO
Willo looked at the man, stared at him for a short while. He had never been much of a hunter....in fact, it was something he was sure he had no skill at. But part of him wanted to go, to go on an adventure. He glanced back at Grace, who could hear now. It was a blessing to her, for sure... but how did it happen? Something in Willo's gut told him that this Locke fellow knew why. He wasn't sure why...but he watched from a distance, trying to wrap his mind around the situation.

He stared blankly at the row of dangerous hunting knives, his mouth slightly agape.
"Y'know, John told me about seeing boar on the island a few days ago. Never once mentioned that he knew how to hunt them, Or that he'd managed to pack a small arsenal."
He whispered back to Gwen. "I'm suddenly very curious about Mr Locke."

“I trust you.”
He smiled warmly down at little Sarah.
"So, when do we leave?"
"As soon as we get more volunteers." he said, closing over the case of knives again. "We need two or three at most, but we can't bring more than that. Don't want a boar-hunting parade making noise around the jungle."

"I'm suddenly very curious about Mr Locke."
"Well, if he's able to bring back something more than kiwi fruit for these people, consider my curiosity satisfied," she replied, content that the weapons he'd checked weren't for any purpose more malicious than a hunting expedition.
“Hey what’s going on.” Jinx still had her shades on as she walked over to Gwen and smiled. “I miss something good?”
"Oh, welcome to the party, morning glory," Gwen said. "The food supply's run out, but apparently John is off to bag some boar with his case o' knives and some willing volunteers."

'You think we should go?' Nikki asked, sweeping her sandy-brown hair behind her shoulders as the crowd gradually filtered away.
'Are you being serious?' Paulo said with a confused expression 'there is no way in hell that I am letting you going wandering out there into the jungle with that...that...knive-weilding maniac! And besides! who knows whats out there!'
'I know whats out there' Nikki said flatly,'our diamonds and unless we get out there, we're not going to find them'

The heartbeat of Ruby started increasing, the whole hunting with kinves eemed pretty sadistic all of a sudden. She remembered just how much damage knives could do to people, she had seen from old patients at the Hospital...and her own.
Severin had gone all weird and Ruby started to see a different, bizarre character ro him and Gwen-being a glisty trolley dolley- had to have her say in the situation, she noticed James and thought of approaching him but after seeing the looks he was giving Locke, quickly withdrew that thought.
She glanced over again noticing Nikki & Paulo-who she had seen before arguing and isolating themselves-she knew very little about the two and thought of 'introducing' herself to them but could see the scornful look on Nikki's face and decided she would not intervene in the domestics
She sighed heavily andsat down on the sand. This was going to be a long day.

MICHAEL
After another few minutes of studying Locke, Michael started to step in his direction.
WALT
Walt grabbed Michael's arm. "What are you doing?"
MICHAEL
He turned around and looked down at Walt. "To see if I can help. Just stay here a minute, Walt."
Michael walked up to Locke. "Mr. Locke." As soon as he got Locke's attention he continued. "I'm volunteering."
WALT
He hadn't been obeying Michael's orders so far, so why start now? He was afraid Michael would tell Locke to stop talking to him. Locke was the only person who treated Walt like an adult. Locke listened to him and was always telling interesting facts and stories. Walt quietly followed Michael and stood back far enough not to draw attention to himself but close enough to hear the conversation. So far, Michael had no idea he was there.
KATE
With Michael volunteering, that gave them their minimum three needed. "I'll get my things and grab some water bottles. We'll meet back here?"

"I'm volunteering."
"Oh, excellent. And just call me John." he said with a good-natured smile.
"I'll get my things and grab some water bottles. We'll meet back here?"
"Absolutely, yes. Oh, before you go...." He leaned down, opening his case slightly. He fished out a knife, sleek and slender like its soon-to-be owner. He held it out for Kate. "Always helps to get a feel for it."

MASON "Do you need any more help, or do you think you've got enough?" Mason said, with a smirk. He didn't think he would be needed, but he needed a knife, and this was the best way to handle that. "If you need one more, I'll help."

"We're keeping the group small and tight." he explained. "I appreciate it, though. Thanks."

Grace tried to follow what was going on, but lost the general idea as soon as the people all started talking at once. She lowered her hands and turned to Willo with a questioning look. Perhaps he would explain what was going on. She hated being so dependent on another person, but she really hadn't a choice until she could sort out this whole hearing --and speaking, for if she could hear again there was a good chance she could speak-- thing.
