"You checking me out?"
"What?" Jack exclaimed as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing, and from his perspective he had. It wasn't until he actually thought about it that he realized that what she was asking sort of made sense, especially since she didn't know what was actually on his mind. Jack couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he was certainly caught off guard with the question.

***Jack enters from F3 - Caves***
He continued thinking about his new idea. He took a quick glance as Kate bent down to tie her shoe, but Jack was so lost in thought that he was motionless.

"How'd you find this place?"
"Luck," Jack answered right out of the gate. It was the only explanation he had. He didn't really find the caves, he just sort of stumbled upon them.

"Water's this way," Jack said confidently to the others. He knew exactly where to go and how to get there, and so he didn't want people getting worried thinking otherwise.

He smiled at Kate and then turned back to look at the entire caves, "These caves make too good a shelter just to be used for burial. Adam and Eve, they must have lived here," Jack looked back at Kate to check if she was following and that she could see it through Jack's eyes. Of course Jack was too busy talking to realize any emotion that Kate might have been showing.. "Their plane crashed, or maybe they were ship-wrecked. They probably found this place and knew they could survive here. Unlimited supply of fresh water, tree canopy keeps the temperature down, shields out the sun, the openings are narrow, easier for protection against predators." Jack paused for a moment and then looked to Kate with an intrigued smile. "We don't need to bring the water to the people. We need to bring the people to the water. I think we could live here." Jack paused for a few seconds as he locked eyes with Kate and then stood up and began to walk out of the caves.

"Give me a chance to get to know him a little better."
Jack sighed with a smile, "Alright." He turned away to leave, but found himself once again deep in thought.

"I'm all set,"
"Alright," Jack replied throwing his backpack over his shoulder. He turned to Locke, "I was thinking, maybe someone should stay behind and help Charlie," Jack said implying that Locke be that someone, but trying not to make it sound like an order.

He jumped down from the elevated platfrom from where the bodies laid. He walked back towards the spring and grabbed a couple bottles of water and tossed them into his backpack.

"But, who were these men?"
"Actually one of them's female," Jack pointed out still wishing Charlie hadn't said anything.

"I'd have thought C's, actually,"
Jack let out a short and quiet chuckle. It seemed the most unexpected phrases were the most humorous.
"What are you talking about?"
Jack had a look of disappointment on his, disappointed that he couldn't think of something to do about the body situation before Charlie said something.

"Everyone all right?"
Jack looked too Kate now remembering about everyone else that was on the trek. "A few stings aside," Jack replied stepping down to eye level with Locke. Jack was deep in thought trying to figure out what he should do with the bodies, whether or not he should say anything.

He dumped the contents of the bag into his hand and showed Kate. It was two stones that were both rather smooth and clean. Jack gently ran his thumb over them. There was something off putting about the stones, one was white and the other was black. He looked up at Kate as he felt the confusion between the two of them.

"Long," Jack replied quickly, barely giving Kate a chance to finish her sentence. "It takes 40 or 50 years for clothing to degrade like this." Jack continued to examine the bodies closely. As he tried to feel the texture of the decaying clothing he felt something, hard and jagged. He reached into what was left of a pocket and removed a small pouch. He opened it up and took a peek.

"Yeah."
"Where'd that come from?"

"Where would they come from?"
Jack turned to Kate, it was difficult for Jack to make the others understand the fact that he did not have all the answers, but Jack understand that fear and confusion often lead to panic and irrational thinking. Jack thought it would be best to help calm Kate down then exploit the problems over her question. "Didn't you guys shoot a polar bear last week?" Jack asked in a very calm manner.

"Who?"
Jack couldn't really tell Kate anything other then what he could see, "I don't know."

He squatted next to the body to get a better look. "I can't exactly perform an autopsy..." Jack replied as he tried to examine the body. "but there doesn't seem to be any major trauma to the bones," he stood up and walked to a small space a few feet away from the body, "There's another one over here," Jack looked at the way the two bodies seemed to just lie perfectly straight. "Someone laid them to rest here."

Hoping that the bees would have gone as he ran the distance between their hive and the caves, but the bees remained. Every few seconds Jack would feel a pinch. Panicking he quickly took off hsi shirt. He paused for a moment before feeling another sting. There wasn't anywhere else he could go, so Jack stepped up on a ledge in the caves, towards the water. To help get rid of the bees, he snapped his shirt at them like a wet towel. The stinging seemed to have ceased and Jack tried to catch his breath. It was only until there was a bit of clarity, and easement, that Jack could here a gasp. He knew it was Kate as he had seen her as he tried to swipe away the bees. He quickly rushed over to her, "You okay?" he asked looking around the area.

It seemed Jack was in the worst position for the bee hive to break, considering his face was only a few inches from the hive. The second Charlie stepped on it, Jack instantly shot back and practically threw the suitcase at the hive. He then jumped up, and bolted towards the caves, unaware of where anyone was or where then went off to.

"Perfect."
Jack took a deep breath as he nodded to Locke. He began to kneel extremely slowly trying not to make any false moves with the bees. "Alright. Just keep still man. I'm going to try to cover the hive," Jack uttered a little louder then a whisper to keep Charlie calm and still.
