Kate looked at him with such hurt and disappointment. She was at a loss for words and did not waste any time trying to come up with any. She didn't care about anything else right now. Not the stupid bottle rocket, not triangulating the stupid signal, not trying to figure out what was wrong with Sawyer.
She tossed the bottle rocket at Sawyer's feet and took off. To hell with everything else. She had to get to Jack. Maybe there was still hope.

Sawyer didn't make a move, when Kate suddenly tossed the bottle rocket at his feet. Also without any further word he let her walk off to do whatever she thought could save her Romeo. This really has been no progress as for their social connection. Not that he would care.
Sawyer let out one noise of annoyance. So it looked now it was only him killing the time, till Mohammed would give the signal. Why not, he anyway had nothing else to do. Leaning back on the tree behind, Sawyer continued the waiting.

When the first bottle rocket exploded high up in the distance, Sawyer sat up with a good yawn. Did he fall asleep? Must have been. It was only a minute later, when another bottle rocket could be seen in the distance.
"Yah yah, my turn, I know.", Sawyer said quietly, as there still would be someone waiting with him here, while he walked over to the prepared rocket next to him. He used his lighter to ignite the fuse and send it sky high.
While he watched the explosion above, Saywer took his time to produce the cigarette pack out of his jacket pocket. He let out a sigh of annoyance, when he realized there had only two cigarettes left. What the hell. He lit the second last, taking one deep breath, still watching the sky. They had a heart-breaking doctor and an iraqi torturer. Couldn't there have been any cigarette and beer smuggling person on board of their flight?

***Heidi enters from F3 - Caves***
I'd hoped to have been up and back at the beach before or just as people were stirring. The last thing I wanted was for anybody to worry on my behalf. As I rushed along, I combed my fingers through my sleep-tangled hair as best I could then braided it, all the while being careful to watch my footing on the jungle terrain.
Normally I didn't like to walk these jungles alone. I was a scardy cat by nature but there was a good reason to be scared of this jungle. Any fear or worry I had, though, was eclipsed by my concern over causing unnecessary fear and worry to my friends on the beach. Especially Sarah.
I started to mentally curse the island and our predicament. It wasn't like I could set an alarm. I was stuck on this stupid island because of a stupid plane crash. It was no surprise I'd overslept though. Yesterday had been rough. Rushed trip to the caves, hauling rocks, trek back to the beach whilst hauling bottles of water, then late night rush back to the caves heaped with worry over what had happened to Sayid and his attempt to get a signal out.
I stumbled as my foot caught on a vine but righted myself before I face planted into the jungle floor. "Stupid jungle," I mumbled under my breath. I was not a morning person and this place was not helping to improve my mood.

*** Linda enters from F3 - Jungle Outskirts of Survivor's Camp ***
It had been some time that Linda had been running through the thick of the jungle, yet the little blonde girl with the bear that she had seen take off was no where in sight. She pondered on how long she really had been on the hunt for as she slowed down to a curious stroll, peering around at the vast jungle that surrounded her. How on earth could a little girl mysteriously vanish into thin air? Linda had contemplated that she had perhaps been seeing things as she was still rather exhausted from the events of the previous day. However, the little girl seemed so real to Linda that she did not want to take any chances whatsoever.
Though, the chance Linda just took had just got her into a bit of a situation - she was now lost and had no idea where in the hell she was. Linda looked north, then south, east and then west. She didn't mean to travel so deep into the jungle, and wasn't so good with direction in places that she wasn't too familiar with. Linda wasn't worried in the slightest, as thinks usually tended to work out okay. That was, until her body became paralyzed at the sound of stumbling and a low murmur in the nearby brush.

Stumbling had made me pause and take in my surroundings. Something didn't feel right. I had that feeling I got when I suspected I was off course. I had getting lost down to an art form so I recognized that gnawing suspicion in the pit of my stomach when it started to creep up on me. I'd lost count of how many times I'd driven myself good and lost and had had to pull over and call someone who understood the craziness of the bazillion winding freeways and highways of SoCal.
I looked around me, high and low as I turned, trying to find something that might trigger familiarity. The trees, bushes, foliage, the occasional fallen log, it all melded together and looked the same. At least the roads had numbers and names to follow and I'd always had someone on the phone to walk me through getting back onto familiar ground.
The flash of a memory came to me as it usually did when I started feeling lost. I could see myself sitting at the nook table with a map book, my dad yelling at me in frustration over the fact that I just couldn't memorize the freeway systems.
Luckily, the sound of movement close by pulled me from that unpleasant memory. I started to relax but remembered exactly where I was and that 'luckily' might not be the right word.
Whatever sound I had heard seemed to have stopped almost as soon as I'd heard it. The question was, was the thing that made the noise frozen in fear as well or lying in wait to attack? Dammit, my imagination was taking off with all sorts of horrible scenarios and I remained still and quiet, thinking myself into loops. Call out. No, keep quiet. Run. No, keep as still as you can.
Silence stretched on for a couple of minutes but the speed at which the potential consequences for each action could be were looping in my head, making it feel like an eternity. I started to relax, morbidly thinking that if it was something dangerous, I'd probably be dead by now. With that last bit of negativity, I tried to think positively. It was probably only another of my fellow survivors just as freaked out as I was. Maybe it'd simply been a breeze that had gone through the jungle. Maybe it was just a little, harmless critter, more scared of me that I'd be of it.
No, it had to be another person. It just felt the most logical at this point.
"Is someone there?" I called out and though I had used a relatively low volume, my voice sounded so loud and out of place in the quiet of the jungle.

"Is someone there?"
Linda furrowed her brow questionably as she slowly but surely proceeded forward in the direction that the sounds had been coming from. She could hear the voice but couldn`t see the person anywhere. However, she proceeded to investigate as things did not seem life threatening. Yet.
Creeping forward a bit more, she reached her arm out to remove a fairly large branch out of her way. Linda had been looking in all the right places except for her two feet where she hadn`t seen the thick vines poking from out of the ground before tumbling down to the jungle floor. Ouch, Linda thought to herself as she moaned from the brief pain that jolted through her knees from coming down so fast. Sitting up to compose herself, Linda just realized she wasn`t alone. "Heidi?" Linda grinned as she was happy to see a familiar face, but out in the middle of the jungle? "What are you doing all the way out here?"

"Heidi?"
“Linda!” I said, seeing that Linda looked just as relieved as I felt. “I’m so glad you’re not a polar bear.” I offered her a hand up.
"What are you doing all the way out here?”
A look of surprise and alarm flashed across my face. All the way out here? Shit, I was more lost than I thought. “I was attempting to return to the beach. I’m so horrible with directions. Seriously, I could get lost on a one-way street,” I said sheepishly. “You okay? I almost ate jungle floor myself a little bit ago.” I pushed away my attempt at levity when a worrisome thought occurred. “Wait, what brings you all the way out here?” ’Please don’t say you’re lost, too or something bad happened at the beach.’

“You okay? I almost ate jungle floor myself a little bit ago.”
Linda nodded her head as she brushed the clinging dirt and twigs from her elbows and knees, "Just a bit of a spill, nothing major," Stupid, clumsy me should have been looking where I was going.
“Wait, what brings you all the way out here?”
Linda lightly chuckled as she thought of the little girl who she had seen run into the jungle. So strange, the presence of the little girl felt so familiar to her, yet Linda was clear on the fact that she had never seen this child on this island before. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you...or maybe you would with all the other crazy happenings around this place," Just as Linda was starting to get into the details of her reasoning of turning up unexpectedly in Heidi's presence, her voiced trailed off into silence as her ears picked up something strange. Linda looked up and around in the air around them, noticing Heidi doing the same. Sudden loud crackling sounds overcame the jungle as if something large was moving around, tearing down the trees before them. Linda wasn't looking to wait around to see what it was, so with a few frightened hops backward, Linda fled for her life, knowing that if Heidi knew what was best then she wouldn't be too far behind.

'You wouldn't believe me if I told you.' Who wouldn't be intrigued by that opening line? And she was right. This place was odd but also, I didn't see a reason why I wouldn't believe something Linda told me.
She started to talk about seeing something and chasing after it--a little girl, did she say?--but my attention was taken away just as Linda trailed off, both of us fixing our eyes on a spot far too close for comfort. I wanted to ask what it was but was too terrified to form words. I started to back up as it sounded like it was coming closer then full on turned to run right after Linda.
There was no question in my mind of whether keeping still or running was a good idea in this moment. The way the trees moved, the strange bellowing sound with a mix of something that almost sounded mechanical. It was that thing we'd heard on the first night that had sent whole trees bending and breaking in its path and the terror sent adrenaline coursing through me, allowing me to run faster than I thought I could.
I ran alongside Linda, the only shred of comfort being that I was not alone. It was chasing us deeper into the jungle, away from the two places the other survivors were gathered. The sound of the thing seemed to remain the same distance behind us. I didn't know if we were managing to keep just out of its reach or if it was messing with us. Just when I gathered the courage to look behind me, the ground beneath our feet gave way and Linda and I were swallowed up by the jungle floor.
My stomach dropped at the sudden freefall. Only a short scream managed to escape my winded lungs before we hit bottom. I scrambled over to Linda and laced my arm through hers, holding on to the only shred of comfort as I stared up in horror, waiting for the thing to come in after us. This was it. We were sitting ducks. Fish in a barrel.
Darkness enveloped us as it went over, blocking out all the light. I couldn't look. I tucked my head down, squeezing my eyes shut and curled up into a ball next to Linda's side.
After a few terrifying moments, the realization that all was silent hit me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked up. Sunlight shifting with the movement of the trees streamed into the hole. The sounds of the jungle were back to normal. Birds chirped. Wind rustled leaves. The change was so eerily sudden that for a moment, I wondered if I'd had some weird mental breakdown and imagined the whole thing.
But no, here I was, sitting in a hole in the ground in the middle of the jungle. I eased up my grip on Linda's arm and looked at her, wide eyed and short of breath, my heart just starting to return to a normal pace. "Did you see it?" I asked, keeping my voice low, afraid of the possibility of getting its attention again.

Linda dared not to look back, for the sounds she was hearing at that moment were the upmost terrifying. What kind of animal could make that kind of noise, and create that much destruction? Unless...unless it was something much more than that. Something bigger than their simple minds could comprehend. But the only thing Linda`s mind pondered about right now was safety. She felt Heidi running right near her as they dodged trees, bushes and boulders as their scare took them deeper and deeper into the jungle.
Then suddenly, Linda and Heidi tumbled forward, startled screams escaping from their mouths. Linda wasn`t sure how long they were falling for as it felt like forever, but eventually their bodies met dirt in what seemed like a dark abyss. A sharp pain pulsed through the side of Linda`s entire body, but alas she was still alive and breathing. Squinting through the darkness, Linda looked around and upward to see if she could figure out what it was that had been chasing them. She looked hard, but no cigar as the strange noises trailed off into the distant jungle. All was quiet and serene, the sun rays began to shine down on them and dance around the pit that they had seem to have fallen in. Linda wasn`t sure what to say, she remained speechless about the whole experience until Heidi decided to be the one to break the silence.
"Did you see it?"
"No," Linda shook her head as her facial expression still showed a little bit of fright, "But whatever it was, it definitely wasn't a polar bear, that's for sure."

There was no question about that. I'd take a polar bear over whatever that was any day. The adrenaline rush was finally starting to ease, making my muscles feel like jelly and giving me an uncomfortable shaky feeling throughout my whole body. I started to ease out of the huddled ball I'd squeezed myself into, flinching as a sharp pain went through a spot on my calf when it made contact with the ground.
I took an indrawn breath as I pulled my leg back up, squinting and willing my eyes to adjust to the shadowy bottom of wherever we were. I turned my leg at an angle and saw a little light glint off something on the outside of my leg. "The hell?" I said more to myself as I pulled it free, flinching again. I held it up higher for better light. "Glass?" I said in quiet confusion. There was only a small corner of an edge that was stained with my blood. Thankfully, my jeans had kept it from causing any major damage. I shuffled my feet around on the ground to see if my shoes came in contact with anything else but our current spot seemed to be clear. I must have picked it up when I'd hit the ground or while I'd scrambled over to Linda's side and the sheer terror had distracted me from feeling anything.
I looked to Linda, still speaking softly for fear of catching the attention of the thing that had chased us. "Are you okay?" I asked, trying to study her expression in the dim light for any signs of pain.

"Are you okay?"
Placing a hand on the side of her hip that was slightly pulsing with pain, Linda let out a slight groan as she sat upright.
"A tad sore, but other than that I`m just dandy."
Linda squinted through the dust that collected within the sunshine that danced around within the little hole they got themselves stuck in. Some mild debris but nothing too interesting. So strange, that there would be this deep hole in the middle of the jungle. Would be big enough to make a pretty decant trap. But holes like these just don't pop up out of nowhere.
"Wonder where this hole came from," Linda was thinking out loud as she peered around. The scattered debris to Linda was proof that they weren`t the first ones to land themselves in this place.
Then suddenly, Linda was overwhelmed with panic. They were stuck and there was no way out. What if the angry creature came back to finish them off? "We need to get out of here," Linda said frantically as she felt along the walls, and looking around to seek out desperately anything that would help aide them to safety.

***ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER***
We need to get out of here.
The same sentiment spoken by Linda--what, two hours ago? Three? Five?--were the same that echoed in my head. Our own attempts to get out had failed. The earth walls of our underground prison were fairly smooth. No footholds and the dirt of the earth was so tightly compacted that attempts at creating footholds with the meager items we'd found stashed here had failed. Even the pieces of glass from an old broken bottle, a piece of which I'd pulled from my leg earlier, had failed at making much of an impact to the compacted dirt.
We'd spoken quietly at first as we tried to work together, wondering exactly what we'd fallen into. An old well? A trap? A prison? A smuggler's hold of sorts dug to hide things? Some sort of place to stash things seemed more likely as there'd been the remains of what appeared to have once been a ladder made of vines. When I'd taken hold of the vine with the idea to test the strength of it, it had disintegrated into a green, slimy, mushy mess, leaving me to wonder how the hell old it and this hole was.
Now here we were, sitting in companionable silence, hours after determining our only way out was to be found. The fear of the returned attention of what had chased us prevented us from calling out for help. Who would hear us all the way out here anyway? We hadn't talked much in the passing hours, only a few quietly spoken words. Our minds were preoccupied with our situation and discussing it further would only worsen the anxiety.
I sat near Linda, eyes closed my head rested back against the wall and the contents of the hole gathered between us. It wasn't much. A few very old looking glass bottles of dark liquid stopped with corks, we'd guessed a wine of sorts, that was probably so old that it'd turned to vinegar. Figuring it probably smelled awful and for all we knew, was toxic at this point, neither of us had bothered uncorking one. My arm rested on an old burlap sack, the contents of which also appeared to be ancient and completely useless in aiding our escape.
I was thirsty and hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. My stomach had stopped growling a couple hours ago. After we'd given up on getting out ourselves, I'd figured the best way to get through this was to remain calm and block any worries to the back of my mind. Relax, sit back, let myself drift off for short spouts. I couldn't get myself to relax enough to actually sleep. As soon as I started to slip passed drifting, my mental block would weaken, flooding my mind with worries and fear which shaped itself into the fuzzy start of nightmarish outcomes, jarring me awake.
Another fuzzy start of a nightmare, this one of hopelessly trying to outrun a large, unseen, scary sounding threat as it knocked me down and pinned me to the ground and I found myself startled awake again. My heart raced at the shot of fear driven adrenaline but realization of it having only been in my mind settled in and had it passing quickly. Calm again, I turned my head toward Linda to check on her.

It had only been three hours that had past since they had become victims of this hole they became trapped within, yet to Linda it felt like they had been down there for longer. Perhaps her spurts claustrophobic anxiety made the time frame seem a lot more elongated then it truly was, as she spent a lot of time pacing the hole, grabbing at the walls, floor and just about anything she could get her hands on to try and find a way to safety. Her yells for help left her throat scratchy and raw as she plopped down on the dirt floor next to Heidi. Exhaustion washed over her entire body as she faded in and out of dreamland, making sure she awoke every now and then to check to see if anyone had come to their rescues. Surely Charlie and the others would be looking for them soon, she hoped anyway.

We’d finally decided that enough time had passed to start calling out for help. We took turns, trying to be sure we wouldn’t both shout ourselves hoarse at the same time. We figured whatever chased us had lost interest by this time but I still had an underlying fear of it lurking and waiting, maybe for other people to show up or just playing around with us, waiting for us to feel at ease again. My imagination was so cruel. Surely what chased us didn’t have the intellect of a human psychopath. It was just some animal, right? Of course it was. What the hell else could it be?
We were taking a break from shouting out for help, both our throats especially dry and sore without the aide of water. To our credit, we’d both been able to keep a level head. No freaking out, no tears, no angry rants. Inside, I felt the bottled turmoil threatening to bubble over. Stranded on an island was enough to almost set me off. Now we were stranded in a hole on the damn island.
“We should probably rest a little. Maybe wait until we hear others?” I suggested with a scratchy voice that seemed to fade in random places.
Hours ago, we’d discussed where we’d started out from and were we’d been heading, who we’d talked to or who might have seen us. Much to our chagrin, neither of us had really talked to anyone. The chances of our absence being discovered quickly were extremely slim and the fact we’d been chased far off any path used by the survivors did not bode well. It was something we both knew but didn’t say out loud. It could very well end up being a long wait, possibly even an overnighter. It was important to conserve whatever energy we had left after running for our lives and a lack of food and water. We’d need to be sure at least one of us remained awake and alert at all times to listen for people calling out for us in the distance.

It was unknown to Bennett how long he had been angrily trucking through the jungle for, his grip held tensely onto the strap of his bag as he thought about the events that had unraveled on the beach. Did they really suspect that he did not belong? Or was it all in his head? Either way, Bennett felt the need to get as far away from the beach as possible. But where would he go? Surely he couldn't retreat back home, his father would be severely disappointed in him. Ethan would never want to work with him again. Ben would murder him for blowing his cover. Bennett felt damned either way in his lose-lose situation.
His furious fast walk lead him to hook one of his feet onto a root sticking out of the ground, slamming Bennett onto the jungle floor as his bag flew into the bushes. Bennett slowly sat up, his expression looking even more aggravated. All of the tension in his body escaped through Bennett's lungs as he let out a yell of anger. After he was done, Bennett sat on the ground for a few moments more to catch his breath as he somewhat started to feel a little bit better. Perhaps he overreacted on the beach. Maybe it truly was a fear that he created and fed until he couldn't take it any more. Coming to this realization, embarrassment crept up on him an tapped him on the shoulder. There was nothing he could do about it now except wait for things to pass.
Standing up, Bennett brushed himself off as he peered around for his bag. Something about his surroundings seemed somewhat unnatural as he scanned his surroundings, noticing the strewn mounds of dirt and broken branches on even some of the highest trees. No single person could have created this much damage, not even an animal. Bennett had seen messes like this before in the jungle, and deep down he had an inkling of what might have done all of this.

“We should probably rest a little. Maybe wait until we hear others?”
Exhausted physically from stress and yelling, Linda managed to send an agreeing nod in Heidi's direction as they decided to change the game from frantically find a way out and yell to wait with fingers crossed and hope for the best.
“I guess waiting will just have to do for now, no use wasting our energy any longer.“ She had hoped her brother was on the hunt for his little sister, however doubts crept into Linda as fear of being in the whole for the rest of the day and even night started to become a reality that they had to start to consider. People were safe at the caves and on the beach, and after hearing and seeing unnerving things in this mysterious jungle Linda wasn't so sure if anyone would even be out and about to discover them.
“So you were at the caves last night? How`s the Doc holding up, you reckon?“ Linda forced the doubts to the back of her mind as she attempted to find a distraction.

“Seemingly good,” I started, pausing to clear some of the hoarseness from my throat. It helped to alleviate a little of the gravelly sound to my voice. “He was up and checking on others then tending to Sayid when we arrived there late last night. ‘Course that’s just Jack being Jack.” It went without saying that it didn’t necessarily mean Jack wasn’t hurting or feeling strained. If he’d broken his leg or been bleeding out, the man would probably drag himself around on the ground until he passed out or parished in order to help everyone. That was a rare quality. Or flaw, depending on how you looked at it. Always trying to be funny, these were comments I would have said out loud if my voice had permitted.
“Sawyer still being an asshat?” I asked with a wry grin. Even if you avoided talking to the guy, he made his presence known and people weren’t shy about complaining about him to others.

*** Gwen enters from F3- Caves ***
She walked the trail more slowly and carefully this time, paying attention to anything that looked different. Any type of footprints or something that looked out of place. It was quiet except for the random sounds of wildlife and for that she was grateful. She doubted that whatever massive thing was felling trees would be able to sneak up on them.

"Right, well relieved to hear he is just about back to his normal self," Linda chuckled slightly as she shifted on the damp ground where she seeked a much more comfortable position. "And Sawyer? Well.. he's just been doing what Sawyers do best," Linda said amusingly as she shook her head at the thought of the bozo. Finally registering Heidi's mention of Sayid stopped Linda in her shuffling as she turned around to Heidi. "Sayid came back? Did you hear anything about how his mission went?" It had only been through the grapevine did Linda even hear about Sayid's rescue venture in the first place but knew that possible good news would lighten up their spirits a bit.

*** Seb enters from F3- Caves **
Seb followed behind Gwen, looking around the area they'd just entered. He placed a rock down behind them to mark their path, making sure he had enough left to mark the rest of their journey with. "Is this where she was last seen?" he asked.

"Is this where she was last seen?"
"Maybe," she replied uncertainly, trying to judge the distance from here back to the caves. "It's as good a place to start as any." She turned and walked backwards briefly so she could face him before she continued. "So you hadn't answered my question yet. Your desert island discs. Now that we are stranded on an island, what albums do you wish you had brought with you?" she asked, hoping casual conversation would keep her mind from jumping to the worst conclusions. "I mean, other than Jinx's greatest hits...."

"Right, well relieved to hear he is just about back to his normal self," "And Sawyer? Well.. he's just been doing what Sawyers do best,"
I shook my head. "The hell's wrong with that guy?" I mumbled more to myself.
"Sayid came back? Did you hear anything about how his mission went?"
I frowned, immediately signifying that that news was not good. "Something went wrong. I don't know what. He showed up really late at the beach, kinda panicky, saying he needed to talk to Jack." I let me head fall back to rest on the wall trying to swallow but my mouth and throat were too dry. I turned to look at Linda with worry on my face. "Seeing Sayid anything but level-headed and calm is extremely disconcerting," I interjected, then faced forward again and continued with my still raspy voice. "He's never been to the caves so I led him to them." I made a derisive sound over a sudden realization. "Getting to the caves, no problem. But both times I tried to get back to the beach," I gestured to our surroundings then gave a dismissive wave, getting back on topic. "Anyway, I didn't ask, he didn't tell."
I sighed with resignation, voicing one of the things a few of the survivors had complained about on a couple occasions. "I'd hoped he'd tell me after I'd finished filling him in on what had happened to Jack but he did not volunteer the information so I didn't bother asking, assuming I'd get some non-answer, as per usual with the A-Team members."
Honestly, I wasn't sure if I really wanted to know half the things the A-Team was keeping from us so my complaint about not being told something was half-hearted. Maybe it was being chased through the jungle. Maybe it was because I was teetering on my breaking point. Maybe I just needed to keep myself occupied with thoughts other than feeling like a trapped animal starving and dehydrated in a hole.

Stu made his way through the jungle to catch up to English and Forehead, when Gwen had approached him his immediate reaction was to believe it was an issyou and not an issme yet there was a nagging pit in his stomach that made him tag along with them after all. "All you have to do is take us to the caves and back." Stu mocked in a poor British accent. He was beginning to wonder if the inhumane sized vodka bottles was worth it. "Now that we are stranded on an island, what albums do you wish you had brought with you?"
"Oh that is easy, W.A.S.P's Live... In The Raw! Sleaze Rock at it's finest." He answered not that he cared if the question wasn't exactly asked of him.

" Oh, " Linda's gaze dropped to the floor of the hole as she slightly frowned. Dissapointed to learn that they were most likely not getting rescued anytime soon was rather discouraging to contemplate as it sounded like Sayid's mission did not go as planned.
" Fair enough,: Linda agreed with Heidi on the matter of the annoyance of the never ending secrecy of Jack and the few survivors who deemed themselves the leaders and spokesmen of the group, " Then again, perhaps it's best the rest of us don't know the details. Being stranded on an island is heaps of stress to handle. And getting stuck in a hole....well, that just tops the cake," Her chuckle didn't last very long before it trailed off into dismay.

"So you hadn't answered my question yet. Your desert island discs. Now that we are stranded on an island, what albums do you wish you had brought with you? I mean, other than Jinx's greatest hits...."
"There are other singers besides Jinx?" Seb frowned, crouching down to mark their path with one of the engraved stones he was carrying. He'd had problems with people taking his dry, deadpan humour too literally in the past but he could tell Gwen would be alright with it.
"For me it'd have to be some of Bon Jovi's early work. They were the first big band I ever saw live when I was a teenager and I've loved them ever since. There's something real and honest about their music and its themes, and I really respect that. Plus, Richie Sambora plays a mean guitar riff."
He turned to Gwen. "What about you? And if you tell me it's the soundtrack to that film Cast Away I'm officially done adventuring with you" he grinned.

"Oh that is easy, W.A.S.P's Live... In The Raw! Sleaze Rock at it's finest."
Gwen felt a sense of relief when Stu's voice cut through the jungle tranquility. A feeling which she feared would only be temporary once he got bored and started mocking his British companions again. She had anticipated being the mediator between the two of them on the journey to the caves, but Seb had proven he could hold on his own against the brash boxer. "Nice of you to join us," she said. "I've no idea what a W.A.S.P. is, but somehow that answer doesn't surprise me."
"What about you? And if you tell me it's the soundtrack to that film Cast Away I'm officially done adventuring with you."
"Aww, and we were off to such a good start," Gwen sighed, countering his grin with a sad pout that gave way to a laugh. "I'll just have to find another Lewis to my Clark. And I do love Bon Jovi," she agreed, as they began to walk again. "But I can't pick just one. I mean, there's Better Than Ezra, Elvis Costello, Fleetwood Mac, Billie Holiday. Oh, and Jeff Buckley's Grace. Each song more lovely and heartbreaking than the last."
Her brow furrowed in quick consideration. "On second thought, that one is rather depressing, so let's go with Jinx's Greatest Hits instead," she declared.
