"Here"
"Thank you" Seb said, nodding at Bennett and clicking the torch into life.
"A few bitty scrapes but nothing major!"
"That's good!" Seb shouted back, shining the torch down into the hole. "Hold on, we're going to get you out of there!"

We heard The rescue group calling out and called back in return. They’d found us quickly after and Linda confirmed we were alright.
I squinted as the bright light of the flashlight stung my eyes for a second before I could adjust to it. I could only make out dark sillouettes above, the waning light of the sun shining above them and making their features dark. I didn’t care who was there, only that someone was there at all.
"Hold on, we're going to get you out of there!”
“Hey, wait!” I called in a dry, raspy voice before they could pull away to work on getting us out. “Be careful, there’s something big out there,” I warned. “We haven’t heard it since it chased us into this hole hours ago but it could still be out there.”

Stu heard Linda's voice call back to the group causing him to quicken his pace and catch up to Forehead who had already made his way over to their location.
“Be careful, there’s something big out there,”“We haven’t heard it since it chased us into this hole hours ago but it could still be out there.”
"Well then we better get you two out of there quick smart." Stu said approaching the hole.
He got down on the ground his front laying on the jungle floor. Slowly he inched his chest over the hole, leaving enough of himself behind so he didn't fall in too, and he reached an arm down as far as he could.
"Can you make it to my hand so I can pull you up?"

Gwen paused along with the others at the edge of the dropoff. The hole seemed too deep, with no visible footholds, and it turned out to contain not just Heidi but also Linda, Charlie's sister. Her relief at finding them safe was soon overtaken by the challenge of how to get them out and how to do it quickly before their massive friend returned. She looked around for a thick vine to unravel from a nearby tree, one that could be tied and anchored to the tree trunk and then used to pull them up.

"Can you make it to my hand so I can pull you up?"
Stu was there, too. Another familiar voice to add to Gwen's and it gave me more comfort. At least three people were up there to help us. I hadn't recognized the person belonging to the first voice so either I hadn't talked to him before or hadn't talked to him much. I definitely wouldn't be forgetting anyone assisting us out of this hell hole.
I looked up at Stu's hands reaching down and there was no way we'd be able to reach him, even by jumping. I looked to Linda who was smaller than me, two inches shorter at least, then back up to Stu. Maybe we could easily get one of us out of here on the quicker side.
"Here," I said, hunching and lacing my fingers as a foothold. "Let me give you a boost and see if we can get you high enough to reach Stu's hands."

With Sebastian and now Stu crowding around the hole trying to find a solution to getting the girls out of the hole, Bennett took a step back to think. There had to be someway, somehow to get them to safety....but how? Bennett peered over to Gwen who was rapidly looking about some vines, one that would be long and strong enough to reach Heidi and Linda and pull them to safety. He walked over to Gwen, scanning high for the perfect match. Noticing a vine that grew out of a nearby tree that seemed to fit the description for what they might need, Bennett did not waste any time. Although it was higher up the tree, Bennett was slightly taller than the others and as he jumped upwards, he latched onto the vine with both hands as he yanked it down to the ground. "Help me carry this to the others?" Bennett asked for Gwen's assistance as there was no time to lose.

Linda peered up as a light seeped into the darkness that currently enclosed them, trying to make out the faces and figures of the ones who had rushed to their aide. Still difficult to make out who was up there, the voices were still unknown to Linda which made her slightly nervous. What if these people were bad? Linda wasn't sure if it was intuition or just her anxiety but for some reason she seemed to grow slightly hesitant. That was, until she heard the voice of someone familiar. Extending a hand down into the hole was none other than Stu, and Linda was ready more than ever to get back up to the earth's surface. Heidi tried to reach for Stu's hand but the hole was still too deep and they were still quite a ways away.
"Here," "Let me give you a boost and see if we can get you high enough to reach Stu's hands."
Linda nodded as she walked over to Heidi and in no time, was hoisted high into the air. Her legs a little bit wobbly, Linda managed to stabilize herself by resting one hand on the wall of the hole while reaching up with the other. Stretching her arm upwards as high as humanly possible, Linda did not give in easily as she reached with everything that she had within her to even so much as to graze Stu's hand. "Come on...a-almost..." Linda grunted as she remained persistent. They were gonna get out of this, one way or another.

Seb crouched down behind Stu and held onto his legs to anchor him and stop him slipping into the hole. He looked back over his shoulder at Gwen and Bennett before turning his attention back to Stu and the people in the hole. Using a vine to get them out was as good a plan as any.

"Help me carry this to the others?"
"Will do," Gwen agreed, grateful that Bennett seemed to have the same plan but also the height advantage. She wrestled with the tangled vine as best she could and pulled it closer to the hole. Standing aside for the moment as Stu tried to reach out for Linda and Seb tried to keep Stu from falling in as well.

Grasping onto the fairly large vine, Bennett lead Gwen over to the hole as they steadily carried the vine to Sebastian and Stu who were working hard to rescue the girls. Peering into the hole, he noticed Linda being hoisted upwards by Heidi, but even then it was still a but of a stretch. "Would this help?" Bennett asked Sebastian and Stu as him and Gwen motioned the vine to them.

They were close, so close but the hole still proved too deep. He inched forward, he over extended his arm but they were just too far down.
"Would this help?"
Stu looked up as Sulley and English brought over a vine.
"Sulley I could kiss you, ya know if you weren't seriously creepy looking. English... open offer..." Stu turned his attention back down to the girls "We are going to throw a vine down so you can use it as a rope, you will be out of there in a flash."

Linda noticed Stu withdrawing his hand upwards as some sort of commotion was going on up top. At that, Linda pressed both of her hands against the walls of the hole as she looked down at Heidi, "This isn't working," Linda said to Heidi in dissapointment as Heidi began to lower Linda down enough for Linda to step off of Heidi's hands that had hoisted her up. "We need to come up with a better plan..."
Before they could say anything further, Stu's voice entered the hole once more
"We are going to throw a vine down so you can use it as a rope, you will be out of there in a flash"
Linda and Heidi looked upwards as he spoke, relieved that they had one last trick up their sleeves. "Ready whenever you lot are," Linda shouted back up as she prepared herself for some serious climbing.

"Sulley I could kiss you, ya know if you weren't seriously creepy looking. English... open offer..."
Bennett winced slightly at the grotesque comment of the island playboy, "I'll pass on that, here," Bennett commented as he hastily handed the vine over to Stu and Sebastian. At this point, Bennett wanted to get Linda and Heidi to safer grounds and part ways with this lot. He was already annoyed enough of the mid jungle encounter, but the fact that he had to tolerate Sebastian and Stu long enough to work closely with them was aggravating.

"I'll pass on that, here."
"Yeah, I'm gonna' pass on that as well," Gwen declared, quickly considering and dismissing Stu's offer. She kept hold of the vine, though, as Bennett handed it off to him.
"Ready whenever you lot are,"
"Would it be easier if they took hold and we pulled them up?" she suggested, looking between Stu and Seb. "I mean, strong chaps like you, it shouldn't be a problem. Bennett and I will help."

"Good idea" Seb nodded enthusiastically. "It's got to be easier than what we're doing now. Let's give it a try!" he said, reaching out a hand for the vine.

"Would it be easier if they took hold and we pulled them up?""I mean, strong chaps like you, it shouldn't be a problem. Bennett and I will help."
"I bet you say that to all the boys English!" Stu said as he followed Seb in getting up. While taking the vine Stu firmly planted his feet near the edge and made sure he had a firm grasp on the vine. "Ready when the rest of you guys are."

"Ready when the rest of you guys are."
"Alright, let's get them out of there. This has gone on long enough" Seb said, gripping the vine and making sure he had a firm foothold.
"Grab hold of the vine and we'll pull you up!" he shouted into the hole. After a few moments he felt the telltale tug of the vine being gripped from the other end and nodded to Stu. "Alright, on three...one, two, three!"

"I bet you say that to all the boys, English!"
"Only the ones I'm shipwrecked with," Gwen replied. Granted, it was a statement of fact, given the physique on both Stu and Seb. She took a place behind them both and wrapped the vine around her wrists in order to get a better grip on it. As Seb gave the instruction and began a countdown, she planted her feet and prepared to pull one or perhaps both of the women upward out of the hole. Trusting that Bennett would do the same even if he didn't look happy about it.

The boosting hadn't worked. The hole was just too deep. Luckily, Team Rescue had found a sturdy vine and within the next few minutes, Linda, then I were back on the jungle surface.
I immediately looked around the jungle nervously for any signs of whatever had chased us before looking back to the rescue team, attempting a smile. "Thanks. We weren't sure if anyone would ever find us way out here."
I'd never felt so worn out in my life. My muscles felt like jelly and the lack of food and water for nearly 24 hours had the ghost of a migraine threatening. I glanced over at Linda to see how she was fairing. She looked disheveled, covered in dust and dirt smudges and I figured I must look the same. We looked like a couple of overly made over street urchins in an old timey movie which lent me a small bit of amusement in this horrible situation.
"Does anybody have any water?" I asked, looking around the group.

Linda wanted no time as she was the first to hop onto the new plan and climbed the vine with all of her might. Success triumphed as Linda clawed the vine all the way to the green surface of the jungle floor, as hands met her at the top. Without taking a moment to catch her breath, she immediately turned around without a word and helped the others retrieve Heidi next.
"Does anybody have any water?"
"That sounds great right about now," Linda commented as she began to brush herself off, settling back into their world before making small talk with any of the others.

Bennett remained silent as his "no comment" attitude persisted. Down the vine disappeared into the hole before the first tug and pull came into effect. Within minutes, they pulled the blonde girl out who looked exhausted and worn out but selflessly helped the rescue team continue their mission. In no time did Heidi pop put of the hole, seemingly safe and sound. While the others were celebrating and checking in on the well being of their friends, Bennett contemplated on his secret exit.

Gwen was relieved that their improvised plan had worked and now both Heidi and Linda were above ground. Looking a little worse for wear but they didn't seem to be badly injured. Tossing the vine aside, she began to rummage through her backpack for the water bottles. She handed one to Linda first, adding "Here you go. When you feel up to it, we'll get you back to the caves and let Jack have a look at you. I'm sure Charlie will be happy to see you."
With Linda taken care of, Gwen then rushed over to Heidi and threw her arms around her. "I'm so glad you're okay," she exhaled with relief. "You gave us all a scare." Stepping out of the embrace, she offered a water bottle to Heidi as well. "I'm under strict orders from Sarah to bring you back to the beach ASAP. After you get the all-clear from Jack."

In my exhaustion, I didn't see the hug coming and chuckled at my own surprise as I returned the hug. The warmth of the gesture and knowing I was missed helped to improve my spirits.
"I'm so glad you're okay," "You gave us all a scare."
"I'm so glad you guys found us way out here." I looked at each person, acknowledging them with my appreciation for each being a part of rescuing us. "At least I think we're in a 'way out here' place?" I looked around, frowning. "I'm horrible with directions." Realizing Bennett had been involved two days in a row now in a situation where I'd lost my way, I added, "Obviously," with a quick, knowing look in his direction.
Gwen held out a bottle of water and I quickly uncapped it, taking several quick gulps before the line from every movie and TV show involving a dehydrated person sunk in to 'take it easy, drink slowly.'
"I'm under strict orders from Sarah to bring you back to the beach ASAP. After you get the all-clear from Jack."
Half the bottle already downed, I paused to answer. "If you guys don't mind, I'd like to go straight back to the beach." I recalled last seeing Jack at the caves and the thought of a detour had me suppressing a shudder. Ready to start moving away from this spot, I picked up the sack with the two far ends of the opening tied in a makeshift handle and pulled it onto my shoulder while looking around the jungle again for any signs of what chased us. Rather than confessing I was scared as hell, which was probably obvious by my demeanor, I voiced my other concern. "I took off in a hurry late last night and didn't get a chance to tell anybody where I was going."

"I took off in a hurry late last night and didn't get a chance to tell anybody where I was going."
"Well, when Sarah started missing you this morning, Kate said she had seen you at the caves," Gwen explained. "But once we got to the caves, Sayid said you'd already left for the beach. We figured you had to be somewhere between here and there."

Linda nodded at the woman in thanks as she received the water bottle and took a few swigs. She didn't realize how parched she has been until the cooling water entered her system. As Heidi and the other survivor were chatting, Linda as able to peer around at the faces around her. Two she didn't really know but seemed to kind of dig each other, Bennett whom when she last talked to was unhelpful and rude, and Stu. Although she had come to really like Heidi's company, it was nice to see another familiar face whose presance didn't actually bother her.
"Well, shall we head'er back to the beach?" Linda commented as she was itching to get back to get some rest before catching up with Charlie.

Seb breathed a sigh of relief when he realised the two women who'd been stuck in the hole were alright. They seemed shaken by their experience and a bit dehydrated but other than that they'd been lucky not to seriously injure themselves. Gwen seemed to know them well and he didn't, so he gathered up the vine and threw it away to the side so no-one would trip over it, not wanting to interrupt and feeling unsure what he should do with himself.

"Well, shall we head'er back to the beach?"
"Actually, we need to get back to the caves first," Gwen said, with a glance at Seb to see if he was still on the original mission. "We came inland to retrieve water for the people on the beach. All the bags and bottles are still there. Seb marked our way out here, so it shouldn't take that long to find our way back. But I can totally understand your wanting to get out of this jungle as soon as possible. Stu, if you want to escort Linda back to the beach, it's fine," she offered, much as she hated to lose her own guide.

Since pulling the two girls up Stu hung around the outside of the group, he didn't want to crowd them he figured that would be the last thing they would want.
"Stu, if you want to escort Linda back to the beach, it's fine,"
Wait, English actually just volunteered him for something. I not that he minded too much given the company but if English thought this would get her off the hook and not have to pay him the other half of the agreed price she was sorely mistaken. Stu took a couple of big paces so he was standing next to Linda and heroically placed his fists on the side of his waist and looked down at her.
"Sure thing; get my cape sister!"

Seb nodded and looked toward the makeshift trail he'd left. He felt like he'd walked around half the island today but he didn't really mind. The busier he was, the less time he had to think about things. The problem would be when he ran out of things to do. That was when his mind would start fixating on things he couldn't change again.
"Sure thing, I've had worse jobs than being a waterboy anyway. Maybe we can turn it into wine and end the day the right way."

"Sure thing; get my cape sister!"
Gwen smiled and shook her head as she turned back to Heidi and Seb. As if anyone would mistake Stu for Captain America. "She'll be fine," she declared. "I think...."
"Sure thing, I've had worse jobs than being a waterboy anyway. Maybe we can turn it into wine and end the day the right way."
Gwen sighed at the thought of enjoying a glass of red wine and watching the sunset. And the thought that it wouldn't be happening anytime soon. "Why do you taunt me? You're so cruel," she chided him. Despite the lack of wine, she was still happy about their successful rescue mission and moving onto the next task.
"Don't worry," she told Heidi, locking arms with her as they began the trek back to the caves. "Seb and I won't let anything else happen to you. Totally boring and uneventful rest of the day, I promise."
