"Wisecracks, from me? Whatever gave you that idea?"
"Oh, don't try the 'sweetness and light' act. That's my gig, and I've had a lot more practice," she signed to Grace. Then she realized what Grace had just said, that she'd been able to hear. That suddenly her deafness seemed to have been cured. But that was impossible. "Wait, did you say you could hear?"
Then she spoke to Willo in equal astonishment, "she said she could hear."

WILLO
"Yeah, I know," Willo said, with the same odd grin. "She was freaking out about it this morning. I suppose it overloaded her sences. She seems to be doing a lot better now, though. I'm no doctor, but it seems really odd. I'd keep signing though. She can hear, but that doesn't mean she can understand you yet."
The island can cure deafness, Willo thought. But it's not doing anything for my social awkwardness.
"I wouldn't go shouting this news around the camp, though," he said, and this he wrote down for Grace's benefit. "People... they might start freaking out."

"Plus we'll eventually run out of food."
"I think we already have." he replied. "Hence the sudden need to track down a large animal and kill it."

"Wait, did you say you could hear?"
"Yeah. Just woke up this morning, and it was like I'd never been deaf in the first place. Crazy, right? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone."
"I wouldn't go shouting this news around the camp, though. People... they might start freaking out."
Grace nodded. It made sense. Everyone had enough on their plates to deal with without having the added oddity of a miraculously "healed" deaf girl. "What he said. Not like I'm able to do much with it, anyway. I don't remember how to hear, funny as that sounds."

"I'm sure we can find something to do, ya'know to stall until Gwen joins us. maybe just set up the line or somethin" He winked, "Wouldn't want her to miss all the fun now would we?"
Ruby gave a false smile and nodded along
"Oh you know the excitement is all too Ray, Locke's carrying out the dangerous task of hunting and baor and we have the dangerous task of sorting the clothes into colours, whites and delicate, couldn't thikn of anything else I'd rather do" she said aggitatedly
Ruby looked round
"Sorry...sorry Ray! I just cant take it, it's not your fault, I hought I could get use to it round here, I just guess I need to realise that i'm not Nurse Ruby Carling anymore, and it's been a while since I've had someone to talk to, I haven't seen Shannon in days. Pity because I get along with her, not that I don't get along with you Ray I'm sure your a lovely person"

"What he said. Not like I'm able to do much with it, anyway. I don't remember how to hear, funny as that sounds."
She nodded. With her brother being born deaf, it hadn't been an issue. But regaining her hearing, even partially, must have been a shock to Grace's system. And she was glad that Willo was around to support the girl.
"Yes, I agree. There are plenty of strange and mysterious things to keep us occupied. Have you checked in with Jack?" she asked. "Maybe he can...help?"

WILLO He looked at Grace with a look of concern, then blinked back at Gwen.
"I made the same suggestion," he said, his face seeming unusually stiff. "She didn't want to bother the doc. I mean, it's not like anything bad happened, something good happened. No reason to concern the doc over something that improved her abilities, right?"

"True, but given everything that Jack's been through, I think he could use some good news," she said and signed, with an encouraging smile. She turned back to Grace, signing again. "I'm sure there's an explanation. Don't freak out, try to enjoy the good sounds like the waves and the birds singing, and I promise I'll be nearby if you need anything."
She started speaking again. "Well, I should get back to my charade of productiveness," she declared. Leaning into Willo as she passed, she asked, "You'll keep an eye on her, yeah?"

"Can't keep them offer," he said with a slight smile and without thinking in the slightest. "But, uhm, I think if anybody should tell the doc it should be her." When something amazing happens, he scribbled down "We're always afraid it will be taken away as suddenly as it is given to us.

She smiled back at him and raised a hand to pat him on the shoulder. "Thanks, I'll see you later." She waved goodbye to Grace and then headed off down the beach.

"I know it isn't easy, and i am sure it won't get any easier. But we have to survive, we'll just have to be us for now, I'll be Ray and you be Ruby. No Nurse, no airline person, just us. helping the others around us."
"No one is asking us to except it, but maybe we can help the others that are just to scared to help themselves." Ray knew That Ruby was trying to cope, everyone was trying to do that here. No one was use to this place and no one would be. "Come on lets get some of this work done." he smiled sweetly and motioned her over to one of the water pits.

"I guess your right, but i mean we still have some Fruit left. But i guess it is getting kind of low." Jinx gave him a small smile.

"No one is asking us to except it, but maybe we can help the others that are just to scared to help themselves."
Ruby moved over to the water pit Ray was pointing to and it wasn't long before she started smiling again
"Thanks Ray, it's just weird I guess, in some ways it's not all bad, you can move ob from the past, although here I guess I'm having a little trouble from doing so, especially with my mum and all that. Plus the fact there's no one I really trust here, everyone smiles back but I know what people think, I guess I see things others don't sometimes-you know like Nikki and Paulo"
Ruby then looked at Ray and backtracked
"Ok you probably don't know them but I've seen them once or twice" she looked at Ry again "Thanks for cheering me up, who knows we could get a club going, I can't promise anything with Shannon but I'm sure I could get Rose to join in."
Ruby's memory went back to the the day before when she had snapped at Rose who tried to help her, and then back to the airport when Rose had helped her.
Guilt spread over Ruby's face again.

***Michael enters from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
MICHAEL
He glanced once more behind him seeing Walt walk away but Sun follow closely. He mentally shook his head at the situation; at himself. He was trying. He slowed as he approached Locke and the case of knives. "Got one you can spare for me?" he asked dryly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
***Kate enters from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp
KATE
She clicked the waist strap around her waist as she approached Michael and Locke, pulling the strap so it fit snug. She rested her hand on the hilt of the knife holstered on her belt. "We ready? Anybody else going?"

"Got one you can spare for me?"
"Sure." he handed Michael a slightly heavier knife then the one he'd given Kate, and then closed his case, locking it tight. He slipped the key into his back pocket.
"We ready? Anybody else going?"
"No. This is all." he replied with that almost never fading, enthusiastic smile. "Just us. The three musketeers."

KATE
His bright smile was infectious and Kate felt a smile spread across her face. It was hard to think that this man had a mean bone in his body when his demeanor was always so cheerful. The slight hostility coming from Michael didn't deter Locke's demeanor. Impressive, especially since the hostility was aimed at him. Thankfully Michael seemed to have calmed since returning. It seemed he was trying to look past whatever problem he had with Locke and Kate found herself wondering what Locke could have possibly done to piss off Michael. She mentally shrugged it off. Whatever it was, it didn't matter. They were going to hunt a dangerous animal. Any animosity needed to be put aside as they couldn't afford distractions.
"Just us. The three musketeers."
"Well, holding up knives rather than swords just isn't the same, so we can skip the whole 'all for one, one for all' bit. Lead the way, Athos," she said with a smile and sweep of her hand toward the jungle.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MICHAEL
Michael concentrated on keeping an open mind about this Locke guy. He even cracked a smile at the mental image of the three of them trekking through the jungle all decked out in Musketeer regalia. He adjusted the knife and holster, checking to make sure everything was in order. Satisfied that it was, he said confidently, "Let's go get dinner."

Locke smiled again, and made his way towards the jungle.
***Locke, Kate and Michael leave for jungle outskirts***

SHANNON
Her serene sunbathing having been interrupted, Shannon grabbed a magazine from her bag and casually leaned against a piece of wreckage embedded in the sand, glancing up every now and then as the camp moved on around her. The bald guy with the bag o' knives had already headed off into the jungle with the girl scout and the deadbeat dad, and even though it seemed they were all in dire need of food now, she had no interest in going back into that jungle. Sure, there might be boar but there could also be another polar bear. Which knives would be kinda' useless against.
She brushed a stray hair out of her face and began to fill in the crossword on the magazine's page. It was fine to use ink, right? And to make up your own answers?

BOONE
He stared out at Rose who sat alone on the beach, holding a ring in her hand. She had been sitting there for a very long time. Boone knelled next to Shannon, "That woman's still sitting there," he said referring to Rose.

He turned to Grace, an odd smile on his face.
"So.... now what?" he said, and wrote.
