A commotion near the Beach
and Shore and someone shouting
for Jack has the camp stirring. Charlie ran up the shore scanning the beach. "Jack! Jack!" He spotted him laying on the beach and veered his direction.
He stopped shouting as he approached but still spoke loudly in his panic and the people that were gathering easily overheard. "Jack. Hey, Jack. There's someone out there. You gotta—the current's—there's someone out there, look."
Charlie pointed out to the splashing of someone in the distance in distress and a shout for help could faintly be heard on the beach.
"I woke up and she's—I don't swim."
Jack was on his feet and running toward the ocean, throwing his shirt aside as he dove in and swam out.
"I don't swim," Charlie repeated more to himself.
In the distance, Jack is seen diving under and resurfacing with someone and began swimming back to shore.
Kate and Charlie run toward the shore to get Boone and Jack starts rushing back out.
"Jack?" Kate shouted after him.
"There's someone else still out there!" he shouted over his shoulder as he pointed to the splashing and flailing arms way out in the distance before swimming back out.
The woman was so far out now that if Jack and Boone hadn't heard her calls for help while they'd been out there, she may not have been noticed.

KATE
Kate had been lost in thought when she'd heard Charlie shouting and had quickly made her way over to see what was going on. She and Charlie had helped Boone to shore and after quickly assessing that he would be alright, she stayed by Boone's side and anxiously watched Jack as he swam back out.
The person in distress was farther away by the second and Kate filled with sorrow at the realization that the person was trapped in a current. She was being carried away faster than Jack or anybody could reach her and now she worried about him ending up in the same situation.

***Heidi enters from F3 - Camp - Sarah's Shelter - Day 6***
HEIDI
My initial hope that rescue had arrived was dashed as I scanned the ocean for a rescue boat, any boat for that matter, and saw nothing. Apparently, I'd missed a lot though. Boone was soaking wet and laid out on the sand with Kate and Charlie flanking him. I looked out to where everyone was watching and gesturing and could see someone swimming out.
"What's going on?" I asked nobody in particular.

Joanna walked out of her shelter when she had heard the faint sound of someone shouting down by the beach. She hoped and prayed that it was the sign of rescue, but quickly frowned when she saw Jack carrying someone out of the water.
As she saw Kate and the guy she thinked was named Charlie took the guy from Jack. Joanna noticed that guy was Shannon's brother, Boone.
"What's going on?" She heard a woman ask.
"I think someone is drowning" Joanna told her as she watched Jack swim back out into the water hoping that he could save whoever was out there.

"I think someone is drowning."
I put a hand over my eyes to block the glare of the morning sun as I squinted out to sea. I gasped when I saw the flailing arms. "Oh my God. She's so far out there."
The tide was taking her away faster than Jack, or anybody, could swim. The length of time between her resurfaces was growing. My stomach dropped as I realized that she was going to die alone out there and we were all helpless to do anything about it. Death by drowning. What a horrible way to go.
I looked away sadly. "I can't watch," I said quietly.
Who was it that was out there? I scanned the faces of the people on the beach, looking for all the people I'd formed a kind of bond with these past five days and hoping it wasn't one of them. It was a horrible knee-jerk reaction when learning of a tragedy--selfishly hoping it wasn't someone you knew.

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
Stu stood behind the crowd that had gathered for fear he was missing a good show and tried to hear or see what was going on when he caught the words 'drowning' and 'oh' mixed with a little bit of 'my' and god'. Stu noticed the arms flailing out in the water and noticed someone swimming out to her causing a sigh of relief through his body, not because she was being saved but because he wouldn't have to do it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Stu saw Heidi, he hadn't spoken to her since the 'incident' where she had shot him down and rejected his hard work of an apology. He noticed that she turned away, while Stu didn't know much about her (which is possibly why the whole 'Challenge accept thing, which he still thought was a compliment, may have pissed her off) he knew that she cared about this person whoever they may be out there. Without thinking Stu took his shirt off and threw it on the sand before heading into the water and powering through it as fast as he could.

There was another commotion and I turned back toward the water in time to see Stu jumping in. "What the hell?" Just great. We already had one person out there who would be lost to us in a matter of seconds. Boone had almost drowned attempting to save her and now I wasn't even sure if Jack, who was stubbornly determined to save even the most lost of causes, would be making it back or if he'd spend his last breath attempting to save the woman out there. And now Stu. How many people were going to die before morning even ended?
I ran toward the shore and shouted after him, unsure if he'd even hear me. "STU! ARE YOU CRAZY? STOP!"

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
"STU! ARE YOU CRAZY? STOP!"
Stu could only just make out Heidi's voice as he swam through the water, a grin spread across his face as he thought to himself 'Oh yeah, she digs me!' A wave came toppling over Stu during his lapse in concentration sending him under the water. Stu continued to press forward under water finding it easier than fighting the waves eventually breaking the surface for air. While Vegas maybe incredibly landlocked it did have easy access to many pools and Stu never thought learning to swim would actually pay off for anything other than girls around the strip. Stu picked up his speed as sense of determination ran through him to get to the person before they were gone.

The woman's flailing has become
weaker and weaker. The woman
is pulled under once again and
does not resurface and the
current carries her body away.

Roose had woken up to screaming. Within a few moments, he was on his feet with his shirt on backwards, and within a few more moments he was standing in the sand next to a curly-haired woman. "What the hell is going on?" he asked, looking out at the distant figures thrashing in the ocean.

KATE
Kate watched the horizon, waiting for the woman to appear again. After the longest few minutes, she sighed sadly, realizing the woman was gone. If she had been here with someone, they should let them know. "Do you know who that was?" she asked Boone.
HEIDI
A wave crashed over Stu and he disappeared for a little. I let out the breath I'd been holding when he resurfaced. "What the hell is he thinking?" I mumbled as I looked back out to where the woman was.
"What the hell is going on?"
"There's a woman way out there. She got caught in a current." I pointed out to the flailing arms way in the distance. "Boone almost drowned trying to save her and Jack had to drag him back. Now Jack's back out there again and Stu decided to join the suicide mission. There's no way they're gonna--"
I stopped as I saw the woman disappear under the water again and stared hard, waiting to see the waving arms again. A minute went by. A couple more. Nothing. One down and two more out there on a suicide mission. How long would it be before they realized there was no longer someone to rescue?
I turned away sadly. "I don't know about you, but watching one person drown is more than I can handle. I can't stand here and wait to see if those two make it," I said, gesturing to the ocean behind me. What I needed was to keep myself busy and my mind distracted.
"I think I'll get started on building myself a shelter." I started heading back toward the camp, wondering if I'd even be able to scrounge up any more tarps or anything useful as a roof.

Joanna frowned and looked down at her feet when she couldn't stand to watch the woman in the ocean anymore. She hoped that Jack would be able to get to her in time. As she stared at her feet, Joanna thought that she saw someone running from the corner of her eye toward the ocean. The shout that came from the woman that stood next to the her made her look up at the ocean.
Joanna watched as the man, Stu start swimming out into the ocean towards the woman. She wondered if he knew the poor woman who was out their in the ocean or if he was doing it to save her. If she was brave enough and a strong swimmer she would try her best to go out there, but she wasn't brave enough and couldn't swim out there without getting caught in the current.
After a few moments Joanna closed her eyes and turned away when she noticed the woman had disappeared under the water and didn't re-appear.
"I think I'll get started on building myself a shelter." She heard the woman next to her say, she looked at the woman who was starting to head towards the camp.
"Do you, um need help?" Joanna asked her wanting to do something that would get her mind off of what had just happened.

I paused and looked at the woman, managing to summon up a small smile. "Yah, sure."
I started walking again, matching the woman's pace. "I don't even know if there's anything left to use as a roof. I hope it doesn't come down to trying to make a trade with Sawyer 'cause I don't think I have anything he'd want. Oh, I'm Heidi," I said, holding out my hand.

James stood leaning against a tree, arms folded, staring out to sea, eyes were fixed on the point where the woman had drowned.
"Well, that was unfortunate" he muttered to himself.
Sighing heavily, he pushed himself off the tree and wandered over to the makeshift water collectors he and Gwen had made a few days before. One of them had been knocked over recently, presumably when everyone jumped up to see what the commotion was. The tell-tale signs of water still dripping from the nearly-empty plastic bottle was evidence enough.
"Wasting the few resources we have. That makes me..." James took his pen out and drew two eyes and an upside down smile on the bottle's label. "Sad."
He placed it back upright and frowned at his handywork. "Well at least you're not going to die on me any time soon."

Joanna shook Heidi's hand and gave her a small smile, "I'm Joanna" She told her, "I think we could find something useful for a roof somewhere, instead of Sawyer. Just between you and me, the guy is a bit of a creep"

"Between you and me and the entire camp, more like," I said with a roll of my eyes. I'd heard lots of complaints and noticed how pissed off or frustrated people seemed to be after walking away from a run in with Sawyer. "I've made it a point to avoid meeting him as long as possible."
I veered toward the supplies pile back at the camp. "The supplies are really picked over but let's try my luck there just in case."

Joanna nodded her head as she listened to Heidi tell her about the supplies. She hoped that luck was on their side and they would be able to find the stuff that they needed. She didn't feel like dealing with the southerner that day.
"We always have to have hope" Joanna said as she followed Heidi.

"Well at least you're not going to die on me any time soon."
"Little early in the castaway process to be talking to inanimate objects, isn't it?" Mia replied as she approached. Her semblance of spirit faltered as she spied the remains of the once-functioning rain catcher. "And I guess this water fountain is out of order. That...is not good."
She scanned the horizon as others waited for the two men to return from their rescue attempt. The sky was clear and the air was dry, which meant no storm clouds, which meant no rain. "I don't suppose you and the stewardess had any luck on your trip to the interior?" she inquired. "If we don't find a source of fresh water soon, we'll have bigger problems than a random drowning."

James jumped and almost upended the bottle. He'd been so engrossed in his own thoughts he hadn't noticed anyone coming up behind him. He turned and realized it was the woman he'd been speaking to a few days ago.
"Mia, right? Sadly not. The only water we found was a puddle with a corpse in it. By the time we'd lugged the body back here and given her a send off it was too late to go looking again."
James frowned to himself and sat down in the sand facing Mia. He'd been so pre-occupied with Jess' death that he'd forgotten all about the water.
"We were running low already and that was before THIS happened" he said, waving his hand at the broken water collector. "I think it's time to stick on my fedora and head back into the jungle."

Callum Cleary
Callum ran to the beach after hearing the commotion going on. He stopped running when he saw two people swimming out into the water towards a woman who was drowning. He frowned and looked at the people who were watching them swim out.
Callum felt bad for not trying to go out there and help rescue the woman, but he knew that by the time he would reach her, she'd be dead or the others would had gotten to her first. It would just cause more trouble for him to be out there. What if he got caught in the tide and began to drown like the woman?
"Please God let them save her" He whispered as he watched the two men swimming toward the woman who was dragged under the water.

Time passes and it's now mid day.
The woman who drowned had
been identified as Joanna.
Some may notice that Jack
is looking very worn down.
Some people are becoming
aware of a water supply shortage.

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
Stu continued to stand on the beach as he had done after dragging Jack out of the water, Stu stared out at the water as the waves strolled in as if to gloat in the life they claimed. Stu didn't know why but it bugged him that even at the very least they couldn't even get her body to bury. Stu's arm hung at his side ending with balled up fist. "Is this how Jack feels all time?" Stu grunted to himself "I could use a drink!"

James knelt beside the few remaining containers of water, stuffing his rucksack with empty plastic bottles. They were running too low for him to simply go out looking for water - if he found any, he'd have to bring some back. He toyed with the idea of taking a full bottle with him, decided against it, and stood to face Mia.
"I'm heading out before it gets too late. And before Jack passes out on his feet."

Roose had spent much of the day with the boar John Locke had brought back. He'd been making sure it was sanitary (or close enough), skinned, cooked, divided. He disliked the responsbility of preparing the camp's food, so he ended up foisting off any weighty decisions on Sayid Jarrah. For now, he was taking a break.

"I'm heading out before it gets too late. And before Jack passes out on his feet."
"Well, Indy, let's just hope there aren't any snakes in there," she remarked. "I'll get my things and meet you at the treeline, and let Jack know where we're going."

Stu had paced back and forth along the beach, "Why do I even care? Was it because of the way my last fight ended? Can't be it was him or me." Stu stopped dead in his tracks and looked out at the water again his fist clenched at his side again. "I need to hit something!"

SHANNON (temp-play by Kristi Lynne)
Waking up to find Boone gone and then hearing about how he almost got himself killed had almost brought on another asthma attack. But she'd managed to focus and slow her breathing and avoid having to use the inhaler. She didn't know how much medicine was left in it, or how much longer it would need to last. She didn't feel like confronting Boone right now; he likely already knew how stupid his little stunt was. So she headed in the other direction, stumbling upon Roose and a roasted boar.
"Hey," she greeted, arms folded across her chest to silence her stomach grumbling. "Is the cafeteria still open?"

Roose looked over at Shannon. "Sure. We're out of trays, though," he said, yawning halfway through his sentence. "Must suck to be a vegan right now, huh?" Roose lifted one of Locke's knives from it's place deep in the remaining meat.
"It isn't too hot anymore, but I guess that hardly matters," he said, beginning to slice through the meat. "How've you been, Shannon?"

"Oh, hunky dory," she sighed in reply, lowering herself to a seat on the sand. "Boone nearly got himself killed, and we're all still stuck on Craphole Island. I think cold barbecue is the least of my problems, so thank you."

"You're welcome," said Roose, finishing the cut. "And hey, at least you're meeting handsome, rogue types like me." He looked around for a moment, and placed the slab of meat on a thick magazine.
"So your brother was the guy who swam out this morning, huh? He didn't exactly pass hero class..." He handed her the meat-on-magazine, and began cutting himself a slice.
