"Uh, we got a problem..."
He looked over to the fuselage area. There was nothing visible wrong, at least not from where Jack was standing. Jack nodded to Hurley as a motion to allow him to lead the way.

JACK
Jack was wondering around the camp, doing random tasks to take his mind off things...Not that it was working.
"Hey, Jack,"
He turned to see Hurley coming up from behind. Jack tossed some stuff to the sand, and then turned to face Hurley. Jack just hoped it wasn't another attempt to try and make him feel better.
"Whoa. You look tired, brother,"
"I fine," Jack said practically snapping at Hurley, trying to avoid anyone wasting their time on comforting Jack. Jack closed his eyes tight, almost like the extra push to keep going. As he did so he felt a soothing feeling, and yet a kind of pain like stepping into a hot shower on a cold winter day. Jack opened his eyes again, it felt like it had been several minutes he had his eyes close, but it was only a split second. Then the soothing feeling was gone, and he stood face to face with Hurley. "What's up?"

BOONE
He looked back to see a familiar face. A woman he had met the other day...Jamie. But Boone wasn't really in the mood for small talk. Had he realized he was mopping, he'd probably find something more productive with his time, but he had more on his mind to think about then analyzing his current actions.
"Hey...um...that was a really brave thing you did,"
"Thanks..." Boone replied with the same emotionless tone he used on Shannon. "But I didn't do anything." In Boone's mind, he wasn't being modest. It was the truth.

BOONE
"Nobody blames you, Boone,"
He stared off at the ocean. When he heard those words...it was the only thing he really took meaning to. He almost literally froze, with his mouth open a tad. He wasn't blinking and it barely looked like he was breathing. He just froze. Thinking about those four words. Within a split second, he blinked, closing his mouth and swallowing. Almost as though he hit the power switch in his brain. He looked over his shoulder, with his whole body almost completely twisted around. He watched Shannon leave, and then he focused his eyes own Jack. Boone frowned and turned back to looking at the ocean.

BOONE
He rolled his eyes as Shannon continued to rant on. He couldn't help but listen, even if he didn't want to. "You made your point Shan," he told her with his head turned slightly, and his eyes pulled all the way to the side that he felt some slight irritation, but he still didn't face her completely. He turned back to the ocean. He was silent. Completely ignoring Shannon, no longer acknowledging her presences.

"I'm not gonna' drop it. I know you have this hero complex and all, but there are dozens of people here. It doesn't always have to be you,"
Boone sighed, "Don't you have somehting better to do?" he asked in an emotionless tone. He asked this in attempt to get Shannon to leave so he could be alone.

"Jack, when's the last time you slept?"
Jack paused as his look of concern faded to a straight face. He looked out at the ocean again one more time before turning back to Kate. He looked at the sand as he began to regain a grip on reality and sanity. He preferred not to explain his reasonings about the mysterious vision to Kate because there simply wasn't any. Jack took a deep breath and transformed back to the grim, depressed man he was before he saw the vision. He grabbed a backpack sitting next to his feet and walked off down the beach, and only saying "I need to put this with the rest of the gear," to Kate. Sort of a quick excuse to get away.

"Standing there, in the water, there was a man," Jack said in desperation and extreme concern. All Jack wanted now was for Kate or anyone to say that they saw the man too. Jack would feel himself breaking down as he became very sure that he was insane. "You didn't see that?" his facial expression became more extreme now that he was certain she hadn't seen it by the look on her face.

He continued to stare out at the ocean until Kate broke his concentration. He looked at her and then quickly back at the ocean. Strangely the man had disappeared, just like every other time Jack had seen him, and it wasn't helping convince Jack he wasn't insane. "Did you see that?" he asked Kate, praying it wasn't just him who had seen the man.

"You tried."
"No I didn't." Jack snapped, completely cutting off Kate and shutting her down, the sad thing was Kate was only trying to help, but Jack didn't want any help. Not this soon anyway. "I thought maybe I'd..." Jack paused recreating the entire scene in his mind. He stared off at the ocean as if he could actually see it happening right in front of him. "I thought maybe I could bring him back and still have the time. I was there, in the water," Jack shook his head, throwing the image out of his mind as he turned to Kate. "I didn't try. I decided not to go after her," Jack sad, trying to make Kate understand the sad truth that Jack actually gave up. Jack looked down at the sand an then looked up to see the mysterious man standing in the water. He pushed past Kate trying to get a better look at the man. Jack had a look of complete shock and fear. Fear because he was afraid he was going insane.

"There were 47 of us and I never said a single word to her," Jack ranted on without taking any notice to Kate's comment. He just continued on about his failure.

"She was just swimming this morning, got caught in a riptide," Jack told Kate, barely able to interpret the words he was saying. He couldn't understand how something like this could happen, not to mention they had just experienced a plane crash. "We've been here 6 days and I never talked to her. Never said a word to her," Jack stated, now with his back to Kate. He was practically pinning her death on himself. He couldn't handle it. The leader role. He was killing himself to make sure that everyone was safe, he was losing sleep to make sure they were safe, and now something like this happened, if it wasn't his fault, who's was it.
BOONE
"What were you thinking? You could have died out there,"
Boone looked up at Shannon again, with a much more cynical look then he had before. The last thing he needed was Shannon hanging over his shoulder giving him a hard time about what had happened. "Just drop it Shannon," he replied with no emotion in his voice.

"Jack, maybe you should --"
"Who was she?" Jack asked sternly, cutting Kate off. Jack was far to focused on his failure to listen to reason. Jack needed to know who she was, Jack needed the small details, it was his way of getting through things, to help him move past. Of course Jack could never really let go of anything for good.

"You okay?"
He looked up at Shannon, he still had the grim look pasted on his face. He stared at her for a few seconds, then he looked back out at the ocean. There was a long pause before he said anything. He wasn't even sure he wanted to say anything. "I'm fine," he replied, still staring out at the ocean.

He did not give a responding salutation, he simply went right to the point. "What'd they say?" Jack asked with a very serious tone. He was definitely not in the mood for talking, which is why he only said what was needed. He just felt so beet up inside, he didn't want to share it with anyone.

He sat on the beach looking out with disgust, with a look of failure, of shame. He didn't speak a word to anyone. He just stared out at the ocean, wishing he was still out there instead of Joanna. He looked over his shoulder to see Jack walking down the beach.

***He returns from his camp***
He looked down the beach. Spotting Kate, he made his way towards her.

As he began to reach the beach, he started to slow down. All of a sudden the intensity and the need to act was gone. All Jack could do was swim back and inform the group the another has died. He walked slowly out of the water as he reached to shore. He was absolutely soaked. He didn't say anything to anyone. He just frowned and headed towards his tent to get changed.
***Jack leaves for his shelter***
