"I didn't intend to take this out on Gwen!" She said rather too defensively. "I was just asking her some questions and I happened to mention the pilot who I didn't know was dead!"

*Grace enters from somewhere that isn't here*
Well, the beach was certainly the happening place to be, wasn't it? Grace must not have been a happening person, then, because she'd spent all day in her shelter figuring out how to use the palm-pilot type thing Sarah had given her. Now, with the little device tucked securely in her pocket, Grace set out on a leisurely sojurn down the beach. She hooked her thumbs through the belt loops of her jeans and wondered idly about the freakish, fatal twist of fate that had landed such a diverse group of people on what could otherwise have been a tropical paradise.

Having watched the commotion from afar, Beau neared the girls as the bald guy pulled them closer to shore, stepping over to them and handed the woman a towel for her to dry herself off with.
"Is she alive?" Beau asked the older gentleman, leaving the question open for anyone, not knowing much about CPR or resusitation methods.

"Okay, then obviously it was just a misunderstanding. You weren't to know. It's not your fault." Jake said assertively back, feeling Ana was lashing out at him. Maybe it was helping, maybe it wasn't, but they needed to focus on the situation at hand. If he started talking about it, maybe Ana would then give him some indication about how she was feeling, instead of him having to ask directly, or take her mind off the stressful subject altogether.
"So..." he said, looking around to make sure no-one had snuck up to hear them, and said in a quieter tone, "We're a thousand miles off course, and they're not looking for us here. The distress signal we're trying to send is being blocked by another distress signal." He thought for a moment. "Maybe you ought to go speak to Sayid. I would for you, but he's got me on food-foraging duty this afternoon."

It seemed like an eternity before I reached the shore with Sarah. It was a feat I wouldn't have been able to accomplish but something had pushed me on. I was so thankful when John was there to help. "I'm fine. Sarah," I said between weazy breaths. I had a very slight case of asthma; nothing too major, nothing in need of medicine, and usually I could calm it fast.
"Sarah," I said again as she was laid down. My muscles felt like jelly so I let myself fall onto my hands and knees and crawl over to her.
I took the towel from Beau and gave a small quick thankful smile as I held it close, needing it more for the comfort of hugging it to me rather than drying off. "She's not breathing," I answered. "Need to do CPR. I need someone to do the breathing part." I was still needing to take a breath between nearly every word. I didn't take my eyes away from Sarah. "Sarah, sweetie, can you hear me?" I said as I moved her hair out of her face. I positioned myself to her side and was ready to do my part of the CPR.

JINX
The woman was Brave, Jinx has tried to get In there and do her thing, but she failed miserably. As usual she messed it up and someone else Swooped in and saved the day. Jinx was glad someone heard her yell for help, if not she would have went back in and Probably drowned. "She's not breathing," I answered. "Need to do CPR. I need someone to do the breathing part."
“I’ll Help,” Jinx knelt down and looked at that small girl, that just days ago was full of life. No because of one mistake she was laying there not breathing. “I tilt her head back right?”
Sarah
It was as if she was there, but not there. She could feel people around her and sense that something was not right, but why couldn’t she wake up. Than she was looking down at herself laying on the beach, if she wasn’t a ghost she probably be panicking right now. “Holy banana’s!” Sarah exclaimed, “I wanna go back into my body, let me in!” Sarah cried.
Mr. Floppers
When he saw Sarah go into the water he smiled. She saw something and she was going to bring it back and share with him. How nice, but something went wrong. When Sarah didn’t come back Mr. Floppers started to Panic yelling. “HELP HELP!” of course him being a stuffed Rabbit, no one could really hear him, no one except Sarah.
But as if some kind of miracle a woman looked over and saw the commotion, she ran over and looked at him. “Not me, the water, Sarah is in the water!” Jinx was already turning and headed into the water, “Good human.” Mr. Floppers watched as Jinx dove in, than came back out and yelling.
Than Heidi came and everything was ok, well until they brought Sarah out of the water. “Sarah!”
Alone and discarded on the beach all Mr. Floppers could do was watch helplessly….

Beau looked on a little helplessly with the bald guy as the women started CPR on the little girl, watching curiously but also a little bit concerned. If it was an adult and they died, then whatever happened happened, but this was a child. She had her whole life ahead of her, and if something wasn't done, that life would soon be extinguished...

"Okay, then obviously it was just a misunderstanding. You weren't to know. It's not your fault."
For one brief second, Ana-Lucia recalled the many times 'it's not your fault' had been said to her. And every single voice that had spoken those words had been talking about the shooting and the loss of her unborn baby. In particular, the voice of the police shrink rang loudly in her ears.
"Yeah, whatever..." Was all she could think to say to him, her voice trailing away as she glanced at the floor.
"So...We're a thousand miles off course, and they're not looking for us here. The distress signal we're trying to send is being blocked by another distress signal."
"That about sums up how screwed we are, yeah." She said, a little relieved the conversation had turned away from herself.
"Maybe you ought to go speak to Sayid. I would for you, but he's got me on food-foraging duty this afternoon."
Ana couldn't help but smile at Jake. You could take the man out of the Navy, but you couldn't take the Navy out of the man.
"When your done with that is he gonna ask you to scrub the decks and perform close-order drills?" She asked with a smirk.

Sarah didn't answer, nor did she move. I began to panic and freeze up until Jinx spoke.
I snapped out of it and my brain began working, remembering back to the CPR class I'd taken. "Yes," I said as I went ahead and tilted little Sarah's head back to the correct position. "Now, I need you to hold her nose closed and breath into her mouth." I stopped to try to catch my breath a bit more. "Once, then wait a few seconds and then one more time."

Jinx
Jinx nodded and Did as she was told, Leaning Sarah's head back and did a few breath. she did it over and over and hoped it would bring her back to life. this was all her fault, if she had just gotten to Sarah on time, and didn't lose her she would still be breathing.

After Jinx did the two breaths, I had her wait as I placed the heel of my hands, one on top of the other, and counted out 30 chest compressions. I instructed Jinx to breath again, watching to see if little Sarah's head was tilted back enough so that her airways were open. Her chest rose as Jinx breathed, so I knew we were doing it right. After Jinx did the second breath, I told her to stop again as I counted out another 30 compressions. Again we did the cycle. Five times, I remembered them saying. It shouldn't take more than five times unless something was seriously wrong.
"Come on, honey, breath. Please breath."

Jinx
Jinx looked at Heidi, “If only I got to her…” Jinx shook her head, and felt as thou this was it for the little girl. She was the only child who was alive on the island, and now she was gone. Jinx knelt down and placed a hand on her cheek. Walking over to Mr. Floppers she sighed and moved back to Sarah and placed the rabbit down in her arms.
Mr. Floppers
“No you can’t be gone, who’s going to tuck me in at night? And who is going to tell me Stories and make fun of people? Who’s going to keep me company?” Mr. Floppers cuddled into Little Sarah’s arms, and if he had tears that were visible, he would be crying right about now.
Little Sarah
With a sudden Jolt she was shooting back into her body, and shot up in the sand. ::Where am I, what happened?:: The child was shaking, shaking beyond control and she wasn’t sure what was happening. She held that bunny in her hands and tried to stand and move away, only to fall back down dizzy. She could hardly moved and she was cold.
::Stay back, I don’t know you, stay back!::

"It's not your fault," I said as tears were falling. It's mine. I should never have left her. No, this couldn't be happening. One more time. We'll try one more time. But as I was making my move to try again, little Sarah nearly gave me a heart attack.
"Sarah!" I dropped down next to her and hugged her to me. "Thank you," I kept repeating as I looked skyward. I held her away from me to look her over, smoothing her hair back. "Are you okay sweetie?" She was speaking French again and I hoped she would at least understand my concern.

*Jinx*
Watching in amazement as Little Sarah became very animated, she was live and Jinx felt a little better, but not by much.
*French speaking Little Sarah* Still unable to register the people or place around her she pulled away from the woman and headed for the nearest thing she could see, the sandcastle. She would go in there and hopefully be safe. Than she realized there was still a wall missing, so she escaped through there and into the Jungle, no one saw her…

"SARAH!" I yelled after her as she took off like a shot right toward her sand castle and then right into Jurassic Jungle. I was still short of breath but that didn't stop me from taking off after her. I didn't help resuscitate her just to have her eaten by whatever lived in there.

He had stayed silent. He had nothing to contribute, so there was little reason to speak. He did, however, breath a sigh of relief when Sarah's eyes opened, and he patted Heidi's shoulder encouragingly.
"You did great." he nodded, and soon, Sarah was wondering towards the jungle. He stood, saying, "Where's she-"
"SARAH!"
And Heidi took off.

"When your done with that is he gonna ask you to scrub the decks and perform close-order drills?" She asked with a smirk.
Jake chuckled. "So Gwen told you I was a lieutenant, did she?" As far as he could recall, she was the only one on the island he had told yet about what he had done back in the civilised world. "I don't know what Sayid does, but I think I'd outrank him, so it would be the other way around. But in this condition.." he signed, gesturing the bandage on his shoulder, then chuckled, "...I'm currently on sick leave. And what a place to be for it, right?"
Hearing Ana's sense of humor returning, he figured she was alright, and turned to leave. "I'm going back to camp. Gonna come with, or are you gonna harvest some more coconuts for us?" he joked.

As the two women resusitated the little girl, Beau couldn't help but think if Sarah was 10 or 20 years older, the situation would be quite hot. Shame...
His perverted thoughts cleared away as the little girl was brought back to life, and Beau spread the towel he had over her shoulders to stop her from shivering. "You should swim between the flags, sweetheart...." he joked, but before anyone could register their humor, she took off into the jungle. One of the women went after her, and Beau watched, dumbstruck.
"You would think after being revived she would stay still to catch her breath, not waste what little she has running off into the middle of the god-damn jungle..." Beau said incredulously to whomever was listening, and clicked his dying cigarette out into the rolling ocean waves. "That kid... she's damn lucky. But it's all for nothing if she gets herself killed."

"So Gwen told you I was a lieutenant, did she?"
"I don't think she did. But I know a guy who was in the navy for twenty years. You sound just like him." Ana smirked.
"I don't know what Sayid does, but I think I'd outrank him, so it would be the other way around. But in this condition...I'm currently on sick leave. And what a place to be for it, right?"
"You're lucky to be alive." She reminded him. His injury had to be holding him back and she could see it in his eyes that it was frustrating for him. "You could do a lot worse."
"I'm going back to camp. Gonna come with, or are you gonna harvest some more coconuts for us?"
Ana looked up into the tree from where the coconut had fallen and nearly hit her in the head..
"I think I'll leave it for now." She looked back at Jake with a half smile. "Concussion's not high on my list of things to do today.
She came up level with him as they made their way back into camp. "You can keep that one." She pointed to the coconut she'd given him.

JINX
Watching as Little Sarah was off in a shot, well Jinx couldn't understand what was going on. That little girl was speaking French and just a day ago she was speaking perfect English with no signs of a French accent.
"That kid... she's damn lucky. But it's all for nothing if she gets herself killed."
"Don't even think that, she'll be ok." Jinx was still feeling pretty down, she couldn't even save the child. But at least she was safe, well as much as a girl could be lost in the jungle. Thou she gave a small sigh and walked closer to Beau. "She'll be ok right?" She was looking for someone to agree with her, she wasn't sure if Beau would, even if it was to just lighten the mood.
