Scarlett smiled, relaxing "Sorry, i'm just a bit...scared." She told him lamely, "I rarely find that i'm stranded on an island surrounded by death." Her australian accent wobbled slightly, she stopped and steadied herself. She would not break.

"Sorry, I'm just a bit...scared. I rarely find that I'm stranded on an island surrounded by death."
"I know what you mean." He replied, nodding slowly and broodingly. He glanced about, looking for an excuse to slip away and get closer to the children again. He needed to be observing their habits and watching for anything unusual, not consoling a girl. He wasn't a 'head doctor'.
But... he was supposed to be making a list of a very specific kind. So he looked back to Scarlett and smiled softly. "Perhaps we make a little hike, ja?"

"Perhaps we make a little hike, ja?"
This would be the perfect opportunity to find out more, his weaknesses, his strengths, what she could use to her advantage and what she could cleverly manipulate to her advantage. "Sure." She shrugged, "I haven't anything better to do."

"Sure. I haven't anything better to do."
He chuckled at this. "We need people to gather food, to gather water, to gather wood, to build shelters- there are many better things to do." He scowled at her for a moment, but then changed his tone.
"I'm sorry. It's the sun. Gets to me, maybe." He apologized, with a flourish of a mock bow. He offered his hand to her. "Just up the beach, away from the racket?"

This is interesting Scarlett thought to herself as she accepted his gesture by taking his hand. "I don't mind, i would help with that work...i just wouldn't know what to get or to do with it." Just up the beach, away from the racket?" "Far, far away!" She laughed.

"Far, far away!"
He smirked and gave her a quizzical look. Then he set off away from the camp, down the beach, with her alongside.
"So what do you do for a living when you're not stranded on desert islands?"

Scarlett thought about this question, to go with the truth or to lie. She settled on the truth, if he found out she'd lied it may cause some...difficulties in her plan. "I work for my dad, he runs a large business in Australia, i'm the heiress to it." Scarlett said smugly.

"I work for my dad- he runs a large business in Australia. I'm the heiress to it."
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows. "So this is where all the famous people come to hide from the cameras?" A bad joke. But whatever. If it offended, he would at least be able to tell if she would require adverse stimulus conditioning after being taken.

BROOKS
He looked down at the lifeless body that was, once Donald. He moved his hands to the man's face, and closed his eyelids.
"Alright, folks," he said, to the couple people who were just around. "Please, if you're feeling any problems at all, let someone know. We're in a tough situation, but.... lets not push ourselves... we've already been pushed enough. Lets just, everyone, get some air, okay?"
With that, he got onto his knees and began to pull out the sand by hand, starting to make a large hole. It would have to be deep.
"Hey, did anyone see where the German fellow went?" He asked, trying to convey a nonchalant attitude.

ETANA
"Hey, did anyone see where the German fellow went?"
"It seems he decided to go for a walk with Miss Scarlett," she replied, barely concealing her contempt for the heiress who'd done little to nothing to contribute to their efforts.
"And isn't there a better place for a grave?" she asked in a lower tone, assuming that's what he was doing. "Somewhere out of their view," she added, with a glance back at the children.

KYLE
Please, if you're feeling any problems at all, let someone know. We're in a tough situation, but.... lets not push ourselves... we've already been pushed enough. Lets just, everyone, get some air, okay?"
He stood behind Brooks as he spoke to the others. Kyle felt it was his place to say something, but after all that had happened in the past few hours, he didn't feel much like 'leading'. As Brooks began to dig, he turned around to a pile of items; wreckage, backpacks, wood. He bent down and grabbed the hand made shovel.
"Hey, did anyone see where the German fellow went?"
Kyle slowly rose, looking around the camp, almost panicking, or overacting. He remained calm, until he was sure that Paul was gone. Kyle was hoping that where ever he went, he left by himself.
"It seems he decided to go for a walk with Miss Scarlett,"
Kyle squinted his eyes and threw his head down in disappointment. "Damn-it," he said under his breath. He looked up and quickly walked towards the water, getting a better view down the beach.
"And isn't there a better place for a grave? "Somewhere out of their view,"
He looked back at the kids. He stared at them for a few seconds, trying to decide his next move. He sighed and walked back towards the group. "Aaron!" he called out, "Let's move father down the beach. Towards the tree line." Kyle grabbed a shovel and started to walk to their new destination. "Which way did he go?" he asked Etana, as he started to slow his pace.

ETANA
"Which way did he go?"
She nodded in the direction they'd departed. "That way, down the beach. I wouldn't worry, though; Scarlett never strays far from her mirror," she remarked.
"Kyle," she added in a slightly raised voice, hoping to stop his determined stride. "That man's death was not your fault. Don't be tempted to make it so."

BROOKS
"Right, I guess we all got our heads pointed in ten directions," he said, getting up, and dusting himself off. He paused and looked around at everyone briefly, then turned to Kyle. He made his way over to the dead body, looking down with pity. He glanced back up at Etana.
"Thanks," he said, shortly and waited for Kyle to join him to move the body.

KYLE
"That man's death was not your fault. Don't be tempted to make it so."
Kyle froze, looking back at Etana. He was suddenly thrown off balance. He knew she was right, but sometimes it takes people to point out your flaws for you to notice them your self. Kyle stared at the ground. He was completely disoriented now. He had to find his barrings. Choose the right path to walk down.
Etana was the kind of person that Kyle admired. A 'good' person. Pure, caring, thoughtful, someone who'd always choose to make things better for others, and not dwell on their own problems. Kyle was like this once as well, but that was years ago. Now there's nothing left. He's emotionless, he never laughs unless he's forced to. He's never angry, unless that'll help him in situations. The only feeling he has left is fear. And having to face fear 24/7 for over 8 years can really do a number on someone.
Kyle was like a lost soul. He was still on the earth, but who he really was, was killed a long time ago. Kyle closed his eyes and prayed that he could be taken back. Back before his mother had died, before he joined the police academy, before he killed those responsible for killing his father, before his parents had even divorced. He just wanted to go back and change everything.
He opened his eyes to see he was still staring and the sand. He almost vomited in discomfort, but his posture, or his expression never change. He looked up at Etana and gave her a serious, and stern look. He then began nodding slowly before he sauntered off to the body. Kyle looked at the man's face and all he could think was 'Lucky Bastard'. Kyle grabbed him by the arms, allowing Brooks to grab his feet. "Ready?" he asked.

BROOKS
"As ready as I'll ever be, I suppose," he said, shaking his head. He was interested in how people react to difficult situations. Brooks knew himself, and knew that he would eventually get to making jokes and glancing around, keeping his mind at ease, distancing himself from the real emotion, the emotion he felt that day...
"It never gets any easier," he said, looking at Kyle as he lifted the mans legs, and slowly began moving the now limp and slowly cooling man down the beach. "Burying people, I mean. I've done it a lot. I can't even begin to guess how many I've seen die..." how many I caused.
"You're the first cop I've trusted in a while, you should know that," he said. "The last one I talked to, well, he murdered the guy who killed my wife. Right in front of me. And all my anger, it washed away into pity. I've watched five--now six people die in person, right in front of me. I think that's a lot, you know, for a shrink."

Laughing, Scarlett rolled her eyes. "No, i'm not that kind of heiress. I rarely meet the paparazzi." She looked down at her path, "I'm not some dumb girl who only cares about how she looks, y'know, i do care how i look but it's not my main priority."

KYLE
"Burying people, I mean. I've done it a lot. I can't even begin to guess how many I've seen die..."
Kyle looked at the body and then back at Brooks. Kyle wasn't even gunna bother to mention all the people he had killed, or he had seen killed.
"You're the first cop I've trusted in a while, you should know that,"
Kyle chuckled, "I'm the only cop I trust. But I'm not what you think I am, I did undercover work," he explained, "To be honest I had more interaction with the criminals, then with the police themselves."
"The last one I talked to, well, he murdered the guy who killed my wife."
"Your wife?" Kyle asked, "Well how about that," he said reminiscing of Jane, and how she was killed. The thought haunted Kyle day in and day out. She was the one person who kept him form going insane and committing suicide...That and the medication. And now she was gone, and he was stuck on an island with a pistol. It seemed almost poetic.

"Maybe that's why I trust you," Brooks suggested. "You got a woman, Kyle?"

He held up his hands defensively. "Oh no. I don't mean anything like that at all. You seem like a... nice person." He smiled approvingly. "So have you gone to college? University?"

"Yeah. College and University. I have a degree in media, art and english." She shrugged as if it wasn't important, "I've not used any of them though."
