Nikki and Paulo didnt stay with the crowd for long, once Jack had made his speech they drifted back to sifting through the stacks and piles of unclaimed luggage.
'I was thinking...that thing out there...maybe it was a dinosaur' Paulo said aloud, heaving several checked suitcases to one side.
'Its not Jurassic Park, Paulo, its the South Pacific.' Nikki laughed off the comment and threw him a smile.
'Then what was it? You saw the trees move' Paulo replied, a more serious edge to his voice this time.
'Would you start focusing? We've been here for six days, OK, the coastguard is gonna get here any second, and I really don't think that they're gonna take “hey, you know what, I'm looking for my script-bag” as an excuse for not getting on the rescue boat.' Nikki said, feeling exasperated at Paulos need to ask her things she clearly didn't have the answers to'
'OK, OK, OK' Paulo grumbled, hauling up three more suitcases onto a nearby piece of fuselage.

Nikki had been searching through several piles of unclaimed luggage when Jack began to speak, and joined the group that had formed around him as his words flowed pefectly as if he had been rehearsing them for weeks.
Paulo stood patiently beside her, hands on hips and listening to each and every word.
"But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone"
The words sent an alarming shiver through him, though his face remained unphased.

Paulo gave a small smile as he watched some of the group split off and wander away as the remaining few set up their bet.
After the events of the crash and trecking through the jungle, it was good to see some shards of reality poking through their obscure situation.

WHy don't you joIn us
'Dont go over, dont go over!' Paulo muttered as quietly and subtley as he could.
'What you want me to say 'no thanks' and walk off? What's that going to make us look like? C'mon...' She replied and quickly walked over to them with a broad smile on her face.
'Hey Ruby...it took a while for us to get cleaned up...my shoes are a lovely shade of mud-brown now' she said with a smile, surveying the other members of the group, many of which she knew very little of if anything.
'So...um...whats happening?'She asked, attempting to break the ice.
"Well, come on now. Will no one eat from my mango teet?"
'WHAT?' Nikki questioned, rather louder than she had intended, giving the man a strange look as he held his mangos to his chest.

*Nikki and Paulo enter from their shelter*
'Well why not ask him now...he could help us' Paulo mumbled lowly, as to not alert the attention of the small cluster of people talking several metres away.
'BECAUSE' Nikki snapped, her face twisting into an angry expression, making Paulo stop in his tracks. He could feel his cheeks blossoming with embaressment as any attempt to not attract attention was lost.

"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.

"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.

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.

"A TV show? I'm sorry, I may have. I can't say I've noticed any logos."
Nikki gave a disgruntled sigh before saying 'Okay thanks anyway...If you find anything please tell me though' and then she got up and walked back over to where Paulo was looking up at the reddening sky.

"Well, there wasn't much to do."
'I suppose you're right...but still my contribution of almost throwing up all over everyone wasn't much input' Nikki replied with a smirk.
'By the way,' She said in hushed tone as to not spark Ruby's attention, 'Did you find any...luggage or anything? Y'know cases,bags...one with a TV show logo on it?'

"Sorry? Oh...oh, I'm all right, thank you."
Nikki smiled as she watched Ruby offer out the fruit.
'She means well' Nikki commented 'she just doesn't know when to stop talking...anyway I'm sorry about earlier...feeling sick and all...I wasn't much help really was I?'

"Sorry, I'm not usually this emotional"
Paulo could only look on at the downtrodden woman with sympathy. It was true the woman had an extremely loose mouth but overall she seemed to mean well despite her constant fears about Gwen. Paulo couldn't make out quite why Ruby seemed to have suspicions about Gwen unless she had feelings for Severin who she seemed quite fond of.
Ruby's crying caught the attention of Nikki who turned for a few seconds and motioned for Paulo to comfort her.

"Sorry that you've to hear all this"
'It's okay' Paulo said with a comforting smile, 'when a plane load of people from all different walks of life crash together you've got to expect a little conflict'
Nikki was regaining colour in her face now and left Paulo and Ruby and walked over to Severin.
'How are you doing?'She said in a whisper as not to startle him too badly.

'I'm taking the medical supply with me so that's no clean dressing for you, maybe you should learn the art of gratitude now and then!'
'Stop, all four of you this is ridiculous you are acting like children!'Paulo said angrily, he had just about had enough of their petty bickering.
'Ruby sit down you are not wandering off into the jungle alone, despite what you say Severin we still need Ruby around. What if something happens to your leg on the way back to camp or if one of us gets ourselves injured in a trap like the one you fell into? Or if Ruby gets herself hurt, her medical skills are going to be seriously put to the test if she has an arrow sticking out of her. Just start contributing as a team, make a fire and get ready to set the camp up'

"Tell everybody it was nice knowing them"
'No!' Nikki croaked, regaining enough strength to stand up, 'Ruby if you leave you're going to leave Severin in the hands of five people with little to no medical experience'

Nikk took Ruby's advice and shuffled backwards to lean against a nearby tree.
'Are you sure it's a wise decision to stay out here?' Paulo said, not letting on to what they heard earlier in fear of scaring the rest of the group.

'THREE..'
'Not that good around blood's a bit of an understatement' Nikki mumbled, feeling her stomach turn as Ruby wrenched the arrow out of Severins leg.
"Paulo, Is she Okay?"
'Ah...It's difficult to tell...but she's going a bit pale though' Paulo added in reply, looking up at Nikki's colour-drained complexion.
"Take a seat Nikki, we're going to be here for a while, have some water just don't go collapsing on us."
'She's right Nikki this could take a while... you had better sit down you don't look too good' Paulo said, helping her to the ground.

"Nikki, Paulo, nice of you to join us"
'Thats...that's okay' Nikki replied as calmly as she could, a look of dismay on her face at Severins situation.
'Sorry..she's not that good around blood' Paulo interupted, outstretching his hand towards the woman talking to them.

'Someone's over there...' Nikki murmered, still on edge as the distant voices continued to come closer.
'Someones in trouble' Paulo added, picking up fragments of speech in the distance
Breaking away from Paulo, Nikki began to tear through the undergrowth.'We're over here!' She cried 'Are you hurt...?' Nikki began to speak but broke off as she nearly collided into a woman appearing from a thicket of bamboo.
There was a momentary pause between but then Nikki noticed the blood on the womans hands.
'Oh God...RUBY!' Nikki cried.
