Nikki and Paulo emerged last from the bushes behind the rest of the search party, Nikki wearing a disgruntled expression at their failed search. To her the whole thing felt like a failure. No diamonds. No bag. Not even the missing man the rest of the group had been looking for.
Paulo folded his arms as the group began to talk to James about what had happened, listening in to hear about the poor womans death.
"Let's get going".
Paulo glanced over sympathetically at Nikki. The diamonds meant a lot to her-maybe even too much. He unfolded his arms and held Nikki's hand and give it a reassuring squeeze as they headed back to the beach.

RUBY
"No-one managed to recover a body"
Ruby gulped at the thought, this woman had managed to survive a plane crash, she had struggled to survive like everyone else, but she did. And there was not even a body to bury to prove that she had been there or a few words said about her. She didn't even speak to this woman.
She watched James as he ran off with what Ruby now referred to as the Gruesome Twosome. They seemed to of had Ruby's card marked, but now she was back on the island, she now had the luxury of escaping them both and not having to wind up talking to them. Bliss!
She got ready to return to camp, before seeing Nikki and paulo wrapped up in one another.
"Hey you two, you OK?" she asked, before noticingthat morale seemed to be lowas the two weren't as talkative as the others on journey back. Infact, she hadn't even spoke to them.

"Hey you two, you OK?"
Paulo could'nt blame the woman for being concerned about them, they hadn't said a word to one another or anyone else since morning.
'We're...we're okay' Nikki sighed, although there was an edge to her voice which suggested otherwise, 'Just feels like we wasted our time'
'What she means is...'Paulo quickly interjected, covering up Nikki's frustration, '...we didn't really accheive anything. We ended up worse than when we set out. We're keeping watch for our luggage as well and didn't find it either. I think Nikki's a bit dissapointed'
'I don't surpose you know anything about trajectories do you?' Nikki questioned, wondering whether the seemingly bright young woman would be able to help in some way.

RUBY
'Just feels like we wasted our time'
"Yeah I know how you feel" she sighed "I really hoped we'd be able to find something, well other than whatever that thing ws out in the buses before we met up with Ana and the others" she continued "but remember, not a word. We don't want anyone getting even more freaked out!"
"We ended up worse than when we set out. We're keeping watch for our luggage as well and didn't find it either. I think Nikki's a bit dissapointed'
"Oh dear, I didn't know you two were still searching for it, well I only managed to find bits of mine, well if you ever need anything" she smiled looking at Nikki "Who knows Paulo I may even have something for you" she laughed
"Oh and about the worse off thing...Well I know how you feel, I wanted to help and I ended up in a slanging match. I feel awful!" she said glumly
"But at least I wasn't completely to balme" she thought' It does indeed take two to tango"
'I don't suppose you know anything about trajectories do you?'
Ruby looked puzledly at Paulo and then back to Nikki.
"What the hell are Trajectories?" she thought
"Umm...well? I..don't really know much about them? It doesn't sound like a common miedical term so I don't think Ihave, and to think my mother and father payed all that money and they didn't teach me about trajectories!" she joked and tohught furhter....
"Mind you saying that there is a teacher on the island, yeah Leslie he's called Leslie Arzt. He's supposedly a doctor but I'd personally ask to see his PhD beforehand, anyway he might be able to tell you something. Oh and remeber it's Arzt! not Arst, he has a thing about that"

"but remember, not a word. We don't want anyone getting even more freaked out!"
'Yeh, by the sounds of it people are gonna be shook up about that woman drowning and now with Severin and everything it's best that we stay silent.' Nikki sighed, watching Severin hobbeling away.
I wanted to help and I ended up in a slanging match
'Well personally I would'nt let it get you down, apparently Ana-Lucia likes a good argument' Nikki smiled.
I..don't really know much about them
'Likewise. It's all to do with how far things fall and things like that'
Mind you saying that there is a teacher on the island, yeah Leslie he's called Leslie Arzt.
'Hmmm' Nikki thought, casting her mind over the survivours, 'Not ringing any bells here' She added, 'Paulo? You know him?'
'Uh...yeah I think so...he's just down the beach.Thanks' Paulo added before they set off after the rest of the group.

RUBY
"No worries, sorry I couldn't be more help!" she stated. "Anyway I'm heading off back to the others now, so I guess I might see you later, let me know how the tranjections thingy works ut with Arzt" Ruby grinned walking off
"Tranjections?" she thought "Why would they need to know how far things fall and what speed they fall at?"she wondered

WALTER
"Ana," Walter said flatly, looking over the camp from the distance. He was merely trying to get her attention so she could talk about her views on the events, but, while she freely spoke her mind, it seemed that when she was scared, she clammed up. He couldn't blame her. Most people didn't talk about fear. But he had a feeling she had already had a plan of action, and he wanted to know what it was.

Ana had decided that Severin would be fine on his own now they were back to camp. He had Gwen and James to help him get to Jack. Which meant that Ana could get on with what she had planned without interruption or questioning.
"Ana,"
She turned with raised eyebrows to see Walter making his way to her. She waited for him to catch up but made no move to engage him in conversation. She suspected that his topic of conversation would be Jake and the mysterious people that had taken him. She wasn't in the mood to talk. She wanted action.

WALTER
The old man looked at her with a half frown. He didn't enjoy being the elder any more than he liked being a father.
"Before you do whatever it is your gonna do," he said. "You should talk to someone. Just make sure you've got a friend in this place. There is not a worse feeling than being surrounded by people and feeling alone."

"You say that as though you're speaking from experience." Ana tossed back non-commital to the suggestion that she might have been about to go and do anything.

"At my age, I've seen pretty much everything there is to see," he said, giving her a bit of a look. "Good, and evil."

"Yeah, well I'm pretty much used to the being alone part so don't worry about me." Ana replied half heartedly. She turned away to scan the area for Locke. She still needed a knife to cut some bamboo into a shovel. As well as for other things....

WALTER
"Ana-Lucia," he said, in his best grizzled voice. "No one is alone. Not you, not me, not him."
He paused and looked around the camp, letting out a slight sigh.
"I think we forget that all too much. So, just, be good."

As Walter disappeared, Erik Mason, who had switched directions, appeared over the horizon directly in front of Ana. He blinked blankly for a couple seconds, before unwisely opening his mouth.
"I--let me talk before you de-ball me," he said. "I've got something for you."

"No one is alone. Not you, not me, not him."
Ana knew who Walter had meant when he emphasised the word him. Though she'd never admit it, the old man's advice was comforting. She hoped Jake really wasn't alone out there.
Ana's moment of hope was swiftly shattered by the sight of one of her least favourite people on the island as Mason strode over to her. She instantly returned her stoney composure and adopted her usual 'not in the mood' stance.
"I--let me talk before you de-ball me....I've got something for you."
I've got something for you too...it's called a right hook....
"You come over here to piss me off s'more?"

ERIK
"Hardly," he said, as he quickly walked over to a rock and took a few steps back. He brushed away some sand and dug a little bit, pulling out a stick with something attached to it. He held it out in front of her: it was a makeshift shovel. He had used one of the branches that had retrieved the other day and a piece of debris from the plane he had picked out, and shaped the wood to fit in.
"I didn't get people to trust me with millions of dollars by not keeping my end of the deal," he said with a smirk. "It's all yours. There's a note on it."
On the handle it read: Ana. Please do not hit me over the head with this. - Mason.

Ana watched Mason with a little confusion as he dug around in the dirt, but when he pulled out a home made shovel she simply raised an eyebrow.
"It's all yours. There's a note on it."
Ana snatched it off him and looked it over. He'd actually done quite a good job on it. If he wasn't so irritating to her, she might have complimented him on his handywork. But then the guy seemed to have a big enough ego already.
She read the note and glanced up at Mason.
"You made this?"

"Everyone has to start somewhere," he said, with a smirk. "I started in the scene shop. Yes, I made it."
