Caves
Located about an hour's walk from the south western survivors' camp beach area. Includes fresh running water, shade, and can be considered safer as there are few paths to access this area. Location found in box F3 below: Each box is 3 miles by 3 miles. It takes an hour to walk 3 miles. But also keep in mind that hiking (like that really steep hill to get to higher ground) will take a heck of a lot longer and that if you're running (like from some jungle thing), that you'll get somewhere faster.

Day 8
[Mod note: Scene post of NPC canon characters to help players keep track of where we are in story]Charlie sat lazily strumming and tuning his guitar when his attention it drawn to Hurley and Jack carrying luggage into the caves. Hurley huffs as he struggles to hold up the large dufflebag. "Dude, what's in these things, cinderblocks?" Jack ignored the sarcasm and answered matter of factly. "I packed everything I thought might be useful here without leaving the others shorthanded." "Hey, you guys need a hand?" Charlie asked as he set aside his guitar and headed toward them. Hurley and Jack dropped the duffel, taking a breather and Charlie heads right for it. "I used to load the band's equipment, before we had roadies, way back in the day. Here let me," he said, reaching for one of he duffle handles. "Charlie, the zipper's..." Jack tried to warn but it was too late. The contents spill out as Jack finishes with, "...broken." Charlie grimaced, slightly embarrassed. "Sorry, just trying to help." "I know, I know, it's okay," Jack reassured. He turned to Hurley. "Hey, want to help me grab the rest of those bags?" Hurley frowned. "Oh, could I?" he said, dripping with sarcasm. Charlie's eyes had been drawn to all the meds and as Jack and Hurley talked, he took the opportunity to rifle through them in the guise of returning the contents to the bag. The fact Charlie was looking at each bottle longer than normal and seemed to have stopped particularly long on the one he now held drew Jack's attention. "What are you doing?" Being caught red handed, Charlie stuttered at first before tossing out an excuse. "Oh, uh, I have a headache." Jack eyed Charlie as he grabbed the bottle Charlie was still holding. "Diazepam. That's for anxiety." "I was looking for aspirin," Charlie said, his excuse sounding lame even to his own ears. Jack raised his eyebrows. "Pretty strong stuff for a headache," he said, trying to lighten the situation as Charlie seemed uncomfortable and Jack had already been picking up on something Charlie might be hiding. "Yeah, right," Charlie mumbled. "Hey, you okay? You're looking a little..." Jack left it open. His medical side definitely was picking up on something but if he was right, he'd have to tread carefully. Charlie was quick with the denial as he continued putting the bottles back in the duffel. "No, it's nothing, it's just a headache." Jack was pretty sure what was going on and despite the fact it was because he had a billion other things going on, still kicked himself all the same for not seeing it sooner. "Charlie, leave it," he said gently. "Go get some water. Maybe you're dehydrated. Charlie, I got it. Go take care of yourself, man. We don't need you right now." Charlie frowned at that as he went back to his guitar looking grumpy and lonely. Jack had good intentions but unfortunately, Charlie had been fixating on feeling useless and unhelpful.

A younger Linda sat on the window sill of the dining room, gazing out into the street. The mid day natural lighting filled the dimly lit dining room. The ends of her sweater were stretched over her fair hands; she lifted both up to her face at the same time and gently patted away the tear streaks from her cheeks, her eyes sore and red. Her head turned as Charlie and Liam carried out the last of their things to Liam's old beater of a van. They were about to go out into the world and make somebodies of themselves, while she carries on with her life on her own. Her brothers were her best friends, they were everything she had. And they were leaving her.
Linda followed them outside, her arms tightly crossed.
"Well, that's the last of it!" Liam shut the trunk.
Charlie wrapped his arms around Linda forming a hug, as Linda stood still with her arms still crossed.
"Do you have to go? You can't take me with you? I hate it here," Pouted Linda.
Charlie broke the hug, looking down at her. "When me and Liam get a good start with the band, we'll come back for ya, I promise! You can travel the world with us! Until then, mum and dad will be good to you, no need to cry." Charlie said gently. He smiled at her, and then he picked up his guitar and headed for the front of the van.
"Yeah, sport! This isn't goodbye forever, " Liam said gleefully, he ruffled the top of her hair a bit as he climbed into the drivers seat.
Their mother and father stood on the front steps, mother smiling and waving goodbye as the father stood there with not a whole lot of expression except for slight disappointment as he was not very supportive of the boys musical careers.
Linda watched her brothers drive away. Even when they faded off into the distance and their parents went back inside, she planted her feet firmly to the ground, her eyes glistening with fresh tears fixed on the end of the street.
* From the flashback we return to a present day Linda Pace, making her way to the caves.*
Linda took a deep swig of her water bottle, wiping her dusty forehead. "Almost there," she quietly thought aloud to herself, her stripped dufflebag feeling rather heavy after carrying it for an hour straight on the same shoulder. She could have accepted the help of her brother the other day when he was moving his own things into the caves, however she was still pretty ticked off with the way he had been treating her. Ever since they crash landed, she felt as if he was treating her as a child and telling her what to do. All the situations that have past had been circling her head, making her more and more agitated. Linda thought about when she attempted to build them shelter. Charlie intervened with his ideas, her automatically taking that as criticism, making her feel like she was doing it all wrong. She clenched her teeth when she thought about the few jungle treks he had gone on with others, Linda always wanted to come along but he told her to stay, making her feel like a useless child that is in the way. Her gears really grinded when just the other day, Charlie packed his things and came up to her to tell her that they are moving to a different location, no consultation of her opinion on the matter. She remembered getting really angsty towards him,
"You think you know what's best for me? For me? You don't even know me or what i've been through. Your the one with the problem, not me. Don't give me that look, I'm not that mean to tell everyone of your little secret. It's not my business to tell. You have underminded and underestimated me this whole time, when you are the one that truly needs looking after. So I'm not going with you."
She rethought the situation for about a day, and because she kept making the decision to not get involved with any of the others, she was all alone. Linda hated being alone, it reminded her of her horrible past. She thought of the caves as not such a bad idea afterall and packed her things on day eight.
Arriving at the caves, she peered around through the sunglasses she found in the wreckage. The coolness of the atmosphere shaded her hot skin, the sound of the trickling water was like music to her ears. Looking around for a place to put her things, she tried to keep to herself the best she could. Linda found Charlie's guitar case, but no Charlie. She threw down her bag off of her shoulder. She was waiting for her brother to come up to her out of nowhere to say something similar to an "I told you so," but he was nowhere in sight. Linda wondered where he could be, but wasn't bothered too much of his whereabouts. Tired and dirty, she walked up to the running water and splashed her face a few times with the cool, refreshing water.

[temp-play by Hollywood Heidi]
Sun watched her husband gathering water in a bowl from the spring. A young girl stooped down opposite side and she the look of disapproval that flashed over his face. He didn't want anything to do with any of the others. She didn't understand it and couldn't place exactly what he had against them. Then again, it had been a long time since understood him. The once carefree, easy to smile man now rarely showed any signs of joy.
A ray of light shining through the trees reflected off the handcuff still on his wrist. Sun approached, kneeling next to him.
"You should have the doctor look at your wrist," she said in Korean, gingerly attempting to tend to his raw wrist.[/i]
Jin flinched and drew his hand away. "It's fine. I will heal." His scowl melted into disapproval as he took in the camisole she wore. "What are you wearing? It's indecent. Cover yourself," he chastised.
Sun spared a quick glance at the girl sharing the small pond before looking back at her husband. She felt ashamed, not for what she wore but for the way Jin spoke to her, as if she were an errant child. In gentle defiance, she said, "It's too hot."
Jin grunted in disapproval and stood up, walking away in angry strides.
She watched him walk away, a sadness touching her features. Sun did not agree with her husband's demand that they keep to themselves and fend only for themselves. She felt it was important to establish themselves as part of this small community. The language barrier placed enough of a wedge between them and the other survivors. Jin's constant grimacing and shows of anger, disgust, and even violence toward the others only distanced them further.
Once again, Sun glanced at the blonde girl. She offered a shy smile, holding out a clean piece of cloth that had once been a shirt, now cut down to face towel size. "To wash with," she said, making circular motions in front of her own face, trying to convey washing. "If you'd like." She nodded toward the proffered piece of cloth as she held it closer to the girl, encouraging her to accept the small gesture.

Linda relieved her sweaty, dusty face with a few splashes of cold water. She over heard the nearby man and woman taking amongst themselves in Korean, the man acting rather sharply towards the woman. With the way the conversed, Linda assumed they were husband and wife. Trying not to look over at them, she bent over the running water and forming a cup with her fair skinned hands, she collected some water and held it up to her mouth and sipped the ice cold delight. She couldn`t help but watch the husband storm away. Well, I guess everyone`s having a grand old time, now aren`t they, she thought in her head, with a slightly noticeable grunted chuckle. Linda snapped out of her thought at the instant that she heard a soft voice talking to her. She slowly turned her head to the wife, speaking just a few words of Korean to Linda, handing her a piece of cloth. She watched the woman notion towards her, offering it to her with a smile. Linda`s expression turned somewhat puzzled, as she steadily reached her hand out to accept the kind woman`s gesture.
"Umm, thank you, I think," Linda said in a hesitant voice, mopping her face lightly with the rag.

"A-nim-ni-da," Sun said with a slight bow of her head.
Sun saw the girl's brother approaching and with a friendly smile, got up and left them to their privacy.
She rejoined Jin, ignoring his glare of disapproval over her attempts at getting along with the others and prepared for yet another lecture on looking out for themselves.

Linda flashed a brisk, nervous grin at the Korean woman at an attempt to show her gratitude for her kindness. As Linda mopped her face with the rag, she noticed the woman looking beyond her at someone nearby. Turning her head, Linda noticed that it was her brother Charlie that was approaching. As the woman excused herself and left, a nervous pang radiated in the pit of her stomach as he approached, Linda had not forgotten the event from the previous day but made an effort not to directly address it.
"Where were you at?" Linda asked, as she proceeded to dip the rag into the running water to clean off her forearm, avoiding eye contact with her brother.

"Just trying to make myself useful," he said, coming off as slightly accusatory of her not doing the same. However, in his case, 'trying' had been the operative word. His attempts to help kept getting shot down and now he was taking his frustration due to that and his withdrawals out on his sister.
He'd almost gotten his hands on some pills that might have taken the edge off, but Jack had caught him. He was starting to exude some nervous ticks and habits, currently scratching a spot on his arm as he took in her dufflebag.
"Finally came to your senses, I see," he said with an all-knowing smirking as if he were addressing a child who finally realized the adult had been right.

"That's great, Mr. Productive. Looks like you're really making a dent in the situation at hand," She replied, slight sarcasm accented her tone as she continued to finish washing her dust caked arms from the hike to the caves.
Rolling her eyes, Linda snickered at his comment, pushing the rag to the side. Here we go again, she thought to herself. In an attempt to avoid the conflicting eye contact that was bound to happen, she proceeded to make herself productive by opening her bag to see if there was anything she could unpack.
"It wasn't a matter of coming to my senses at your doing, dear brother, but a matter of deciding what was best for myself on my own time. I'm clearly capable of making my own decisions," she implied as she rummaged through her bag, picking out a water bottle and taking a swig.

Stu lay with his back against a rock wall of the caves his t-shirt had been scrunched up and put behind his head to act as a crude pillow. He held a cigarette out in front of him examining it, his last one, he twirled it it round and rolled it in his fingers praying for some mystical island juju to clone him some more as he fought the temptation not to light it up. Temptation something he always gladly gave into but ever since moving to the caves there was always something, he was never sure as to what, a constant dripping? A whisper maybe? The wind passing through the cave... either way he wasn't sure and for the first time in his life felt like a little fish in an extreme big pond, not having some level of control spooked him more than the Godzilla monster in the jungle.
"Maybe Heidi was right and this was a terrible idea..."
...Whessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssh...
Stu slowly put the cigarette back into it's holding place of his ear as he looked around the only sound he could hear was the beating of his heart. His gaze eventually fell in the direction of the cave exit.
"No... She will never let me live it down..."
The creeped out Stu made peace with his decision, purely not to prove Heidi even if it turned out to be his last decision.

"That's great, Mr. Productive. Looks like you're really making a dent in the situation at hand,"
His sister had poked right at his current sore spot and Charlie felt his hackles rising. It wasn't his fault. He was proactively looking to help. She'd actually rolled her eyes and snickered at him. Since when did she get so cynical and disrespectful, after all he and Liam had done to protect and guide their little sister.
"It wasn't a matter of coming to my senses at your doing, dear brother, but a matter of deciding what was best for myself on my own time. I'm clearly capable of making my own decisions,"
Dear brother? Now she was talking down at him? "Really?" he said dryly as he crossed his arms and addressed the other thing that had been bothering him. "And who's decision was it for you to come traipsing after me to America? I don't need a nanny. I'm an adult. I've made something of myself," he pointed out, sounding rather unadult.

"Really?"
Linda lifted the bottle up to her lips and took in a swig. "Yes really. In case you haven't noticed, I've kind of grown up since you last got to know me," Linda replied slightly angry, but mostly hurt which she attempted to cover up with her sarcastic wit.
"And who's decision was it for you to come traipsing after me to America? I don't need a nanny. I'm an adult. I've made something of myself,"
She screwed the cap back onto the bottle, throwing it onto the bag, facing her brother. "It was my idea. Liam was dreadfully worried about your well being, so I thought it would be nice for you to have some support back in L.A. That, and I was getting tired of the same old scenery." She said in the moment, scanning his sickly features. "Oh dear, you're looking a little pale, not feeling too good?" Linda mentioned, cutting right into his addiction issue without outright mentioning it, "Maybe I should have stuck with the same old scenery, clearly you seem have everything under control."

Charlie was getting annoyed. Liam was worried about him? He had no right to be worried about him, not when he was the reason Charlie was in the state he was now.
"Oh dear, you're looking a little pale, not feeling too good?" "Maybe I should have stuck with the same old scenery, clearly you seem have everything under control."
Charlie frowned at her tone. "I do have everything under control. People still know who I am. I was on my way to a gig that was going to put me back on top."
He sounded like he believed it but deep down, he knew it would have been a disaster. They hadn't wanted only him. They'd wanted Liam as well or there was no deal. He'd convinced himself it would all work out because it was the only option he had. He wasn't ready to admit to himself that in reality, it was only Liam they'd been interested in. 'Nobody even knows who the sodding bass player is!' Those words from Liam haunted him and still hurt.
Charlie was about to harp on about his fame but was interrupted by the big guy holding his guitar.
"Hey, dude. This yours?"
Charlie looked at Hurley and back at Linda with a 'watch, I'll show you' look. "Oh yeah. You're probably wondering because I play bass in Drive Shaft. I wrote a bunch of tunes on that -- You, All, Everybody."
Hurley looked at him with a mix of embarrassment and a twinge of... what was that, pity? "Listen, uh, man. Jack just wants you to find another place for it. He's moving supplies and says it's in the way."
Charlie was officially pissed off. Jack had already shot him down for his offers to help, caught him looking through the meds, and now, he'd just made him look bad in front of his sister. He didn't dare look at his sister again because he didn't want to have the image of her expression, pity, he guessed, burned into his memory.
Ignoring the guitar Hurley held out, Charlie stomped into the cave where his guitar had been and confronted Jack. "You know? A lot of people look up to me. They respect me." His sister used to be one of those people, or so he thought. "And you, you just treat me like I'm some bloody child! Like I'm some useless joke!" He felt his sister was doing the same which fueled his anger further and Jack was getting the full force of it.
Jack shook his head, baffled. "What are you talking about?"
"Charlie's not good enough to do this," he said in a mocking tone. "Charlie's just in the way. Put Charlie onto that."
Jack could clearly see now what he'd missed before. Charlie was in withdrawal. Jack spoke calmly, carefully stepping toward Charlie. "Sit down. Let me take a look at you man."
Jack's words only served to fuel Charlie's anger. The last person who had promised to look out for him was Liam and this was the bloody mess it had led him to. "Oh, you're going to look out for me, yeah?!" His tone dripped with sarcasm and he spared a glance at his sister through the cave opening. "We'll look out for each other, that's how it is?! I'm not interested!"
Jack remained calm and tried to reach out put a hand on Charlie's shoulder. "Charlie, just calm down, alright. You're not yourself."
Charlie jerked away and shouted, "You don't know me! I'm a bloody rock god!"
His voice echoed back at him followed by the rumbling of rocks and dirt shifting. They began to fall loose and Charlie made a run for the cave opening as the cave collapsed at his heels.
Hurley had placed Charlie's guitar where Charlie had stood before taking off and was moving on to other things when he heard the rumbling. "Oh, no."
The camp went quiet, all eyes on the cave as Charlie came running out of the rubble. He rested his hands on his knees as he coughed up dust and dirt.
"Charlie, where's Jack?" Hurley said in panic. "Where's Jack?"
Still coughing and unable to talk, Charlie pointed toward the new rubble wall of the cave.

"I do have everything under control. People still know who I am. I was on my way to a gig that was going to put me back on top."
Linda sighed, frustrated she peered down at her feet with sad eyes. It wasn't to her surprise that he was in denial, she just didn't think about how hard it was all going to be until now. Reconnecting with her long lost brother, giving him the support he needs to overcome his problems and get back onto his feet. Linda knew that he wouldn't willingly accept until he realized that he had hit rock bottom. She felt as if she could probably be going about Charlie's attitude a more empathetic way knowing that he was battling his withdrawals, but remembering how much she looked up to him in the past, how close they used to be and how all of that just slipped away between their fingers over the past years up until now, she couldn't help but to take everything he was saying and doing personally.
"Hey, dude. This yours?"
They were interrupted by a big guy carrying a guitar case. Linda looked up at him and then at Charlie who gave her a quick cheeky look before he started conversing. She rolled her eyes and then continued to listen to see how the conversation would play out.
"Oh yeah. You're probably wondering because I play bass in Drive Shaft. I wrote a bunch of tunes on that -- You, All, Everybody."
Here we go, Linda thought. Charlie didn't have to prove anything to her, she didn't care if anyone knew who he was. She just wanted to know who he was, behind the act and the band.
"Listen, uh, man. Jack just wants you to find another place for it. He's moving supplies and says it's in the way."
Uh oh, Linda thought to herself. Her eyes were glued to her brother, wondering what he would do after a comment like that. She knew that he was already frustrated, and by watching the expression on his face he was clearly pissed off. Without saying anything to her, Charlie stormed off to the caves. Linda's gut started to turn, she started to feel bad about the entire situation. She wanted to call out to him, but she couldn't bring herself to it, as if a force was stopping her from doing so. Linda looked at Hurley, the two awkwardly standing in the same spot rather stunned by the situation at hand.
"He's just having an off day," Linda attempted to make up on the spot, knowing she is a terrible liar. "You can just leave that with me if you like," Linda offered, Hurley then placed the guitar case on the ground near her. All of a sudden, shouting was heard coming from the cave and then within seconds it collapsed. Thick dust filled the air as rocks rolled from the caves and onto the ground in front of them. Linda's jaw dropped wide open, as did everyone else's. "Charlie," Linda said to herself in shock as she ran over to the collapsed entrance. Relieved to see him amidst the dust and fallen rubble, she ran over to him. She kneelt near him in concern.
"Where's Jack?"
Seeing Charlie point towards the collapsed entrance, she felt like she was going to be sick. Jack, their doctor, their born leader was trapped amongst cave rubble. She stared at the entrance, completely stunned.

Stu felt the ground rumble as a few small pebbles fell from the cave wall and dropped to the ground next to him. Acting on adrenaline Stu was on his feet and rushing out of the cave leaving his shirt and belongings behind only taking what he had in his jean pockets. Upon exiting the cave Stu noticed a couple of other Island inhabitants standing near a cave dust slowly clearing and instantly Stu knew what had happened, not how not that he really cared for all he knew there were some real bad luck gremlins on this island causing the mishaps and messing with his mind, but the cave in was all too real.
"Well shit, there will be no one living with Heidi after this..."
Ba-ba.
Ba-ba.
On the next heartbeat Stu took off running towards the cave, he pushed past the stunned people and begun removing rocks without thinking. As far as he could tell his fight or flight instincts had kicked in and Stu was never one to back down, though this whole selflessness thing was new to him. His muscles bulged as he lifted the heavier rocks out of the way and it wasn't long until he had built up enough sweet for the dirt from the rocks to stick to his body showing signs of hard work. It had never occurred to him to ask for help or even direct the people who were around to help or to go and get help, that was Jack's job or Kate's if he was otherwise unable to fulfill his duties. Thrilling heroics was not in Stu's nature, hero's tend to end up dead though he would leave one good looking corpse.

" Jack, Jack can you hear me?"
Linda heard Hurley shout as he ran past her towards the collapsed rubble.
"I don't know what happened. We were just talking and it -- and it came down on us -- all happened so fast."
Linda turned her head to Charlie as he stood up from his knees, harshly coughing the dust up from within his lungs in between his panicking. She could feel her heart beating fast against her ribcage. Charlie was right, it all happened so quickly, maybe too quickly for them to fully process what just happened. Jack could be dead for all they knew, and they had to act fast.
"We have to do something, there isn't enough of us to clear all of this rubble off of the doctor," Linda said nervously as she put her hand up to her sweaty forehead in distress.
"Dude, we gotta get help. Charlie , go down to the beach and get help," Hurley stressed as he started to help the others clear the rolling debris.
"Okay, I'm on it," Charlie said in a fast reply. There was no time to loose.
"I'll come with you. That way we can cover ground on the beach faster, get as much help as we can," Linda suggested rather proactively. Charlie gave her a rapid nod as they made their way into the jungle. Bickering aside, it was time for them to work together for a cause greater than what they had been fighting about. A life was on the line, a life that no flight 815 survivor could afford to loose at this point in the game.
"And don't forget to tell Kate!" Hurley yelled after them. Linda took a mental note as they ran off into the Jungle.

***Charlie, Linda, Heidi, Michael, and several others enter from F3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
Charlie had been trying to ignore the feeling of guilt and shame he felt over his outburst. It kept replaying in his head over and over. Jack could very well be dead because he'd thrown a sodding tantrum. He stood back with the group that had arrived from the beach as Michael took charge.
Michael spoke with urgency as he stepped in front of the people removing rocks and eased them to a stop. "Wait. Hey wait."
Hurley obligingly took a step back but looked confused. "Jack's in there," he said.
Michael stood his ground. "Let me check it out before you start moving things around. If it's unstable..."
"Well, how do you know-" Hurley interjected.
Michael quickly explained. "8 years of construction work. Hey Walt, get back, man, I don't want you near the rocks, okay, and take the dog with you."
Walt was annoyed at his dad treating him like a kid and responded with something he knew would annoy his dad in return. "You guys need Mr. Locke."
"Locke's out in the jungle killing stuff, Hurley said. "Who knows where he is."
Since he'd returned, Charlie caught several accusatory glances wandering his direction. Perhaps it was his guilt playing with his imagination. Perhaps they'd talked while he'd gone to the beach and had come to the conclusion this was his fault. Whatever it was, he felt an overwhelming amount of shame and remorse on his own without the help of others. He grabbed at the opportunity to help in a way that would remove him from these glances and quietly headed out into the jungle in search of Locke.
***Charlie heads out into the jungle***

When we'd walked into the cave camp, several people had already been working hard at removing rocks. I was surprised to see that Stu had been one of them.
My attention was on Michael now as he gave instructions. I didn't notice Charlie slip away.
I watched as Michael looked around at different parts of where the cave entrance had been, gingerly pushing here and there in his study of the integrity of each section. The fact that he'd had 8 years of construction experience along with the way he confidently assessed the situation earned my trust in the fact that he knew what he was doing and I was ready to follow whatever instructions he gave us.
"Alright, this area here is load-bearing. We've got to dig where there's no danger of the wall buckling in on itself." Michael pointed to an area and continued. "Here, we dig in here so the wall doesn't collapse. Four at a time, by hand, until we can find some kind of shovel. We take shifts, and go slow. Whoever isn't digging should be clearing the rocks that we clear out and bring the water to whoever is working, okay. Let's move."
I hopped to it, grabbing a couple bottles of water on my way to the cave entrance. As I passed by Stu, I gave him a timid smile and handed him one of the bottles. It was a peace offering of sorts as our last interaction had not gone so well and on top of that, he'd earned it. It was nice to see that he'd been helping. The other bottle, I handed to a woman that had been moving rocks when we'd arrived.
"Here, I'll take over your spot." She gave me a tired smile of gratitude and took a long drink as she stepped away. I quickly tied my hair back and got to work.

Everyone from the survivor's camp stumbled onto the still debris filled cave. Survivors that were already there were working as fast as they could, their faces and bodies dirty and dripping with sweat from the heat and labour, but no major dents were being made. The new arrivals were about to jump on in without thinking, then Michael chimed in to take charge of the situation. Linda could hear the conversations between Hurley and Michael, trying to find the best way about the situation at hand, but with her nerves and the heat getting to her she felt as if everything was but a blur.
"You guys need Mr. Locke." Linda cued back into the present situation, hearing little Walt put his two cents in.
"Locke's out in the jungle killing stuff, who knows where he is." Hurley announced.
Linda grabbed the nearest water bottle and took a few quick gulps, still keeping herself in the conversation. As Michael was inspecting the cave in and giving his thought on how the group should go about clearing the cave, Linda noticed Charlie sneaking out. The thought of trailing behind him popped into her head, but with everything that had just happened she thought that he could use a moment to himself, a breath of fresh air. Linda thought she could probably use one too, but didn't want to loose focus on what was going on and what needed to be done.
"Alright, this area here is load-bearing. We've got to dig where there's no danger of the wall buckling in on itself. Here, we dig in here so the wall doesn't collapse. Four at a time, by hand, until we can find some kind of shovel. We take shifts, and go slow. Whoever isn't digging should be clearing the rocks that we clear out and bring the water to whoever is working, okay. Let's move."
Linda noticed that there was already enough people digging right at the cave entrance, so she helped herself to help clearing away the rocks that were already out of the way. Anything helped right now, she just hoped that Jack was still breathing.

I looked distractedly behind me as I heard my name. One of the other survivors was ready to take my spot and I stepped aside to let him through. I had no idea how long I'd been removing rocks from the cave wall but the task had became more wearing as we had worked our way inward, having to kneel forward onto the rocky ground and pull rocks from further in.
"Oh man," I grimaced under my breath as I arched my back and leaned from side to side. I felt as if I'd been hunched forward for an eternity. This was definitely going to hurt even worse tomorrow. I felt so sweaty and dirty and gross. Strands of my hair were escaping from my hairband but I needed to wash my hands before messing with my hair. I used my forearm to move the loose strands out of my face. That would have to suffice for now.
I didn't much care about what others thought of my appearance. Everyone was looking disheveled and dirty and sweaty anyway but even still, I never really cared about impressing other people. I glanced at the tiny, mostly superficial cuts on my hands. It wasn't bad. Just some annoying stinging which I'm sure would stop once I scrubbed the dirt out of them.
Sun handed me a bottle of water and I summoned up a smile as I thanked her. 'Thank you' seemed to be one of those universally understood things despite language barriers. I even managed to understand when she handed me aloe leaves and gestured rubbing her hands as if putting on lotion. They would help ease the stinging of the cuts. Whatever she was trying to tell me next wasn't as clear though. She repeated her words and gestured more prominently, pointing to me and then her back as she mimicked the stretching I'd done and my exhausted brain finally picked up that she was asking if my back was okay.
"Oh, yah, I'll be okay," I said, giving a dismissive wave with a smile to emphasize. She nodded in understanding and handed a bottle of water to Linda before continuing on her rounds.
"She is such a sweet lady," I said before taking a couple gulps of water. I caught a glimpse of Sun's scowling husband, barely stopping myself from vocalizing what an a-hole her husband seemed to be.

Stu continued to work on making clearing into the collapsed cave his hands were covered in hands of varying size and depths, dirt clung to the sweat that rolled down his body, his fingers ached and his muscles burned but he kept on going. Stu stopped for a brief moment to wipe the sweat from his brow smearing the dirt across his forehead in the act. His eyes darted out to see who was there, to see if she was there though he knew he didn't need to look of course she would be, sure enough his eyes found their way to lay upon Heidi as she drunk some water from a bottle. Stu threw rocks to the side over exerting himself to clear away the bigger ones that probably should have needed a couple of people to remove, he wasn't sure if it was in a bid to impress or if he genuinely wanted to get into that cave a.s.a.p. While he wasn't sure what or why he was doing what he was doing he did know one thing; after a hard day's work like this Stu was gonna need drink or three.

"Jack, please be alright," Linda muttered under her breath to herself as she continued to help clear away the rocks and debris from the site. Grabbing at the next large rock, she peered down at the cracked, dirty skin on her hands in despair. The whole situation seemed never ending, they had been trying to clear the fallen rubble away to get to Jack for what felt like ages. Even so, everyone was focused and working together non-stop. Some were still strangers to others, as it had only been a week and a day since the crash had happened. Yet, everyone was able to come together as a team and get the job done, especially when it involved the life of another. With the thought of rescue still standing still in their hearts, they couldn't possibly lose another, let alone their only doctor.
Linda was entirely in the zone, that she became slightly startled as she felt a tap on her shoulder. She peered up to find the Korean woman in front of her once more, offering nothing but her kindness. Linda noticed a bottle of water that was being offered to her, and gratefully accepted it into her hands. "Thanks," Linda gave the Korean woman a tired but grateful grin as she stepped out of the way to take a small break, allowing someone else to take over for now. Being physically and emotionally drained, Linda definitely needed it.
"She is such a sweet lady,"
Taking a swig of the water, Linda peered over to Heidi in full agreement. "Yeah, she definitely is. Though her husband ain't no slice of cake," Linda commented as she noticed him glowering over her in disapproval once more. She didn't know how such a sweet lady could be with someone like that. Must be love, Linda thought to herself sarcastically.

"Yeah, she definitely is. Though her husband ain't no slice of cake,"
I snorted in amusement at her understatement. "He's a slice of something, alright," I said dryly. "But not cake. Cake is sweet and people light up when it's around." I took another drink of water and crinkled my nose at the unfiltered, slightly hazy water in the beat-up water bottle. With each day, I was realizing how much I'd taken simple things like food and drink for granted. "Let's not talk about cake anymore," I said with mock depression. Well, maybe only partially mocked.
I was suddenly feeling worn down and the aches of overexertion were becoming more prominent. Being in constant motion had a way of making you not realize just how much you were pushing yourself. It was the stopping that got you. Bringing things back to the subject at hand and trying to remain in a positive mindset, I said as an aside, "Jack's gonna be okay."
I looked over at the caves, monitoring the progress and caught sight of Stu. All this bickering seemed so trivial in light of the cave-in. I'd heard some whispered gossiping about some argument occurring before the cave-in and perhaps being the cause of it. I wasn't sure exactly what had gone down. I had also noticed tension between Linda and her brother on the rise recently, not to mention the bickering between the Korean couple, Michael and Walt seeming more and more at odds, snide comments on the rise between Boone and Shannon, and then a whole bunch of stuff involving Jack, Kate, and Sawyer... well, Sawyer was doing his best to piss off anyone who crossed his path.
I sighed sadly and gave Linda a brief tired look before looking back at the caves and Stu. "Only eight days and we seem to all be at each other's throats."
I waited for Stu to look our direction and held out my water bottle in invitation for him to stop for a drink and to join us.

"He's a slice of something, alright,"..."But not cake. Cake is sweet and people light up when it's around."
"Yeah, that's for sure," Linda slightly chuckled as she took another gracious swig of her water. The mention from Heidi of how pleasant cake can be sent Linda's mind into a dreamy daze for a split second. I could really indulge in a slice myself right about now she thought to herself, wondering when she would every get to enjoy the delicious delicacy again. If she ever got to enjoy it again. Her expression fell slightly at the disappointing thought.
"Let's not talk about cake anymore,"
Linda looked back up at Heidi, "Good idea," she said as the corner of her mouth turned into a slight grin. Her grin slowly disappeared once more as she peered around at everyone working hard to try to save Jack. Linda noted the progress made, however Jack was still trapped. Echoes of slight bickering and talk filled the air as everyone continued to work together in this highly stressful situation. With no sign of the doctor yet, people were becoming tired and worn down.
"Jack's gonna be okay."
Her hope dwindling piece by piece, she took another sip of water and wiped her forehead. "I hope so," Linda replied. She tried to keep her spirits high, though it did become tiring after a while. Especially when you've had the chance to sit back and think a little too much.
"Only eight days and we seem to all be at each other's throats."
"Definitely seems that way, doesn't it?" Linda said as she reflected back on her own struggle and strife with her brother. Things seemed to be slightly turning around as they had pulled together to work as a team, but who knows how long that would last for. She hoped it would last. The last thing she wanted to do was fight, when the first thing she wanted to do was rekindle their long lost sibling relationship. With the thoughts back to her brother, she remembered she had seen him sneak off somewhere. Wonder where he's at Linda thought to herself as she peered around at everyone.

Stu walked over to Heidi accepting her invitation of a bottle of water. Wiping his hands on his chest adding even more dirt to his already blackened shirtless torso before taking the bottle of water from her. She was with other people he didn't really recognize and they were talking about something or someone he didn't care enough to eavesdrop on the details of whichever it was.
"Thanks..." was all Stu could muster while he took the cap off the bottle and took a swig from it. There was an awkward metaphorical elephant trotting around between causing a lump in his throat to grow or maybe he was just choking on the water, that would have been easier to deal with. Stu looked down at her as a hand moved up to scratch the back of his head as he let out a long sigh.
"Look Heidi... I... You... You were right. The caves were a bad idea and I should have listened to you and stayed away instead of throwing a tantrum and running off there in spite of you. I'm sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me, all you are is nice to me and I keep throwing it back in your face like the asshole I am."

The fact we had an audience, even if it was of mostly one with curious glances of a couple others close by, had me shifting uncomfortably. "You're not..." I stopped, not wanting to air out this kind of stuff in front of other people. "Water under the bridge," I said sincerely before bringing our unsuspecting audience member into the fold. "Linda, have you met Stu?"

"Linda, have you met Stu?"
Linda had been busy peering around to see if Charlie had come back to help, that she had been disconnected from the present conversation between Heidi and Stu until she heard her name,. Naturally she snapped back to the present chit-chat that was unfolding during their break.
"I haven't, I mean, I've seen you around but I don't think we've ever had a chance to share any sort of exchange yet. Nice to meet you, even though our reason of being brought together here in this... situation isn't," Linda said, though she did tend to avoid people unless the time was convenient, situation pending. There were still many others she had not yet officially met, all of her energy and focus had been on surviving and on attempts to get along with her brother.
"You'll both have to excuse me, my brother's gone missing and hasn't returned back in a while. We need all the hands we can get," Linda said slightly annoyed at the thought that he had been gone for so long. With a rushed, awkward smile and nod to the both of them, she left the two standing to the side as she weaved in and around the others, asking a few of them if they had seen Charlie or if they knew where he was. In the process of doing so, she bumped into someone who was headed for the mounds of rubble and not looking where he was going. Looking up at him, she expected an immediate apology. Instead, she received silence and took his staring rather offensively.
"Excuse you," she replied in a slight sarcastic tone, rather annoyed that he did not take it upon himself to apologize. Just as she was about to swiftly move on, she stopped in her tracks and turned around to face the man that bumped into her who was further proceeding to the cave in mess.
"Hey!" She started rather loudly to get his attention, " I saw you down at the beach, I asked you to come up and help. We've all been up here doing are part. Where the hell have you been up until now?" Confronting him about his long absence from the scene, she crossed her arms waiting for an answer.

** Bennett enters from the thick of the jungle quietly **
Bennett's heart raced as he entered the border of the cave, hoping that not many people would notice his absence from the wrenching cave in scene. He was thankful that everyone was too busy to notice his entrance. Sweaty and dirty from the trek to Othersville and back, he fit right into the scene with everyone else who was covered in dirt and rubble from trying to dig Jack out from underneath the fallen debris. Bennett immediately found Ethan off to the side, drinking a bottle of water and joined him.
"How are things looking?" Bennett asked Ethan, who handed him a bottle of water. He cracked it open and began to take a few swigs.
"So far? Nothing. No sign of Jack," Ethan replied in a slightly agitated tone towards the situation. "How did everything go over there?" He lowered his tone a bit.
Avoiding eye contact, Bennett glued his focus to the survivors working away on clearing out the cave in. "It went fine."
"Just fine?" Ethan questioned him, keeping his reaction nonchalant to not direct attention onto them.
"Yes just fine. I'll tell you later. Now's not the time," Bennett replied, "We've got work to do." He drank the last few drops of the water bottle before motioning Ethan to join him in clearing away the rubble like everyone else. Ethan scurried ahead as Bennett took his time to walk over, attempting to clear his mind of the events beforehand and drag his focus back to the center. You did good, Bennett. Now pull yourself together, he thought to himself. In the midst of pulling himself together, Linda Pace suddenly came out of nowhere, leading him to accidentally walk into her. He stood still in place as he looked at her. Taken by surprise, he plainly knew it was his fault and was trying to find the words to apologize. However, before he could, Linda and her attitude decided to chime in first.
'Excuse you,'
Bennett had heard from Ethan and the other survivors about her questionable behaviour, especially towards her brother Charlie, but had yet to experience it for himself up until this point. Bennett had no words to waste on her jabbing attempt to correct the situation, so he kept forward on the task at hand. That was, until she decided to take another swing.
"Hey!" " I saw you down at the beach, I asked you to come up and help. We've all been up here doing are part. Where the hell have you been up until now?"
Bennett turned around to the stern appearing blonde girl with her arms crossed. Bennett chuckled, he did not owe her any sort of explanation. She was no authority over him. However, this would be a perfect opportunity to get his alibi out in the open to avoid people finding out where he truly was.
"I headed up to the caves straight away, with good intentions to help of course. But this was my first time coming up to the caves. And I tried really hard to follow my cousin Ethan, but he is faster than me, so I lost him in the jungle and couldn't find my way for a while." Bennett said as he shrugged his shoulders in her direction. He hoped that was good enough for her so that he could get back to the cause in peace.

Linda continued to cross her arms over her chest as she gave him a suspicious look. She could see right through this man, and clearly he was up to something. However, now was not the best time to try and get to know this peculiar mystery guy and his whereabouts. Linda dropped her arms to her side in a less confrontational manner and let out a moderately exhausted sigh.
"Well, I don't suppose you've seen my brother Charlie out in the jungle on your little gallivant to the caves then." Linda remarked. Linda decided it was time to retire the idea of looking for Charlie. If it was his priority to come back to help, he would. And if his priorities lay with...other things, then Linda would decided it's high time she reevaluated their ever growing attempt at rekindling their long lost relationship.
"Well come on then, don't just bloody stand there. Pass me whatever you can grab," Linda said, holding out her hands to jump back into the helping game.

"Well, I don't suppose you've seen my brother Charlie out in the jungle on your little gallivant to the caves then."
Bennett was relieved that she finally dropped the interrogation act and let her guard down slightly. She seemed worn down. They all did. He shook his head at her comment, however even if he had seen Charlie out there he probably would have said no otherwise. Not many people knew what Charlie Pace was all about, but from seeing Charlie sneaking about, spying on him and judging from the comments that made their arguments everyday, Bennett could definitely take a guess. The survivors mainly focused on themselves and their well beings, Bennett didn't have to worry about all that. All he had to worry about was getting to know them and their secrets.
"Well come on then, don't just bloody stand there. Pass me whatever you can grab,"
"Yes, siree!" Bennett replied in a chipper yet agitated tone as he turned around to hide his massive eye roll before proceeding to pick up the rocks from the rubble and pass them along to Linda.
