Stu watched as Linda paced back to the shaded spot they had come from, he watched the way she move there was nothing sexual about though he wouldn't complain but there was a direct and stiffness he knew all too well. He had seen it all the time around Vegas ususally from people not wanting to give into one impulse or another like they expected not to be lead unto temptation in the city of sin. Hell he had seen it on himself at times, especially these last few days. Slowly and casually Stu sauntered over to Linda and opened his mouth to say something about needing a drink before thinking better of it, feeding that was probaly not what she needed at this moment in time instead he choose to try keep her mind off it.
"So what kind of music can I look forward to when I buy your best number one album on all the charts worldwide ever... of all time?"

"So what kind of music can I look forward to when I buy your best number one album on all the charts worldwide ever... of all time?"
Taking a few sips of water really helped. Linda managed to pull herself together and calm herself down, especially with the help of Stu being there for her. She needed distractions, and he knew that. Linda sincerely appreciated his help. Wiping the water droplet that managed to escape down her chin, she put the cap back onto the bottle turned to him, dropping her hand onto her hip as she took on a more relaxed form.
"I've got a few working progresses, my best number one album seems to be postponed at the moment due to an unforeseen plane crash onto a mystic island with polar bears and monsters. But perhaps I could play a couple for you sometime, ya know, while the album is on hiatus and all," Linda chuckled. Though she was serious about wanting to play again. She was sure that Charlie wouldn't mind her borrowing his guitar sometime if she asked. That was, if they were on good terms at all.

"I've got a few working progresses, my best number one album seems to be postponed at the moment due to an unforeseen plane crash onto a mystic island with polar bears and monsters. But perhaps I could play a couple for you sometime, ya know, while the album is on hiatus and all,"
"Yeeeeaaaahhhh... Wait... There were polar bears on this Island? This Island? Man I step off the island for two minutes and I miss everything." Stu scratched the back of his before waving off his polar bearish thoughts "I guess though that being trapped..." Stu shivered at that term, he realized he didn't like the idea of being trapped here and quickly changed it "...temporarily relocated here makes you the single best musician on this Island and atleast 2 other surrounding islands. First there was Elvis Presley the King of Rock, then Michael Jackson the King of Pop but now ladies, gentleman and natives of... whatever the hell this Island is called I give you Linda Pace Queen of..." Stu paused for a moment unaware of the genre of music she actually played before taking a stab in the dark "...Touching acoustic fusion hip hop jazz?" Stu merely shrugged as he looked at Linda giving his best guest.

"Yeeeeaaaahhhh... Wait... There were polar bears on this Island? This Island? Man I step off the island for two minutes and I miss everything."
"Yeah, that's what Charlie said at least. Sounds crazy, but with all this mysterious monster shenanigans going on, I wouldn't be surprised," Linda said as she sat back down in the shade. It was crazy. Polar bears on an island? She wasn't sure what to think. The fact that they were all there on the island in the first place was a bizarre occurrence within itself.
"I guess though that being trapped..." "...temporarily relocated here makes you the single best musician on this Island and atleast 2 other surrounding islands. First there was Elvis Presley the King of Rock, then Michael Jackson the King of Pop but now ladies, gentleman and natives of... whatever the hell this Island is called I give you Linda Pace Queen of..." "...Touching acoustic fusion hip hop jazz?"
Amused by the title, Linda grinned and nodded slightly as to approve. "Sure! Couldn't have said it better myself," she chuckled as she peered down at her hands that were folded together around one bended leg, the other resting on the jungle floor, "The single best musician on the Island. You make me sound any more awesome, I might combust," Linda said in a jokingly sarcastic tone.

"The single best musician on the Island. You make me sound any more awesome, I might combust,"
"If I dont then who will?"
Stu let one too many awkward seconds pass before he realized what he said very quickly adding "Make you sound awesome not combobathingy." Which he instantly regretted adding as it didn't improve the overall flow of the conversation. "I mean, like you have to be your biggest fan cause like if you dont then who will? I know I may take that to the extreme so I could be wrong and all." Stu parked himself down next to Linda "Besides and no offense to your brothers who I am sure are talented in their own right but come on You All, Everybody? Really, I am sure you can top that." Stu tried to recall the song, but could only remember that one as he was sure everyone else on the face of the planet could. "I actually seen them live once dont you know? Oh yeah when they were in Vegas, this girl relly wanted to see them so I had a friend... no... I didn't..." The thought had never bothered him before but now did he even have any? Did any one honestly care he was missing? It was a depressing thought. "...I knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy get me a couple of tickets. They were actually pretty fun live for the most part. I mean they were no AC/DC but then other than them who is ya know?"
Stu looked around sure he was rambling on.

"If I dont then who will?""Make you sound awesome not combobathingy." "I mean, like you have to be your biggest fan cause like if you dont then who will? I know I may take that to the extreme so I could be wrong and all."
"Not at all, I completely agree. Kind of reminds me of the phrase that you should love yourself before someone else can love you. At the end of the day, whether people like my stuff or not, it all reflects back on who I am and how I perceive the outcome. So I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to be a little more positive, "Linda said as she grinned in gratification at his efforts. She could tell that he meant very well and felt refreshed by his sense of genuine manner.
"Besides and no offense to your brothers who I am sure are talented in their own right but come on You All, Everybody? Really, I am sure you can top that."
Chuckling, she moved her shoulders in a slight shrug, "I guess they did something right. And you're right, I'm sure I can come up with something. I've got the inspiration of the haunted, mystic island on my side, after all."
"I actually seen them live once dont you know? Oh yeah when they were in Vegas, this girl relly wanted to see them so I had a friend... no... I didn't..." "...I knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy get me a couple of tickets. They were actually pretty fun live for the most part. I mean they were no AC/DC but then other than them who is ya know?"
Linda smiled, as his story reminded her of the late nights in the coffee shops and divey bars, sitting up front and center as she watched her brothers' band as it evolved from nothing into something. She was their biggest fan and had always hoped for nothing but success for them. It was the success part that ruined everything that once was, and could have been between the three of them. "Wow, it really is a small world," she chimed. The expression on the outside was collective and cool, but on the inside her heart was full of sentiment. Preventing the rush of tears that she was predicting to make their entrance, she changed the light of the conversation. "So did you live in Vegas?"

"So did you live in Vegas?"
"Did, do, will probably go back there after we leave here cause I really dont have anything anywhere else... Not that I really have much in Vegas anyway."
A twinkle came to Stu's eye as he thought about Las Vegas the one thing he had always genuinely loved.
"There really is no place like it, the bright lights, the people, the magic and wonder. I mean where else on earth can you go that has... or had a Wizard of Oz themed buffet? It never mattered who you were in Vegas you ran the city ya know, you can drown your sorrows, hide or die there and no one would have a clue, you can get anything from a new face to pair of breasts hell I hear they even have shoes you can buy; Sin City, turning lewd the American Dream." Stu said the last part as he begun to build an imaginary billboard for it to be displayed on with his hands.
Stu sighed longingly as he pictured the bright lights of Vegas in his head.
"There is something about a place that is suns out guns out during the day and so pretty at night with all the sham and drudgery that goes on there." Stu smiled Linda, this was the first conversation that had gone smoothly for him since he arrived... got stuck on this Island. "What about you? You all English countryside and men with fuzzy hats?" Stu said with a smirk.

"There is something about a place that is suns out guns out during the day and so pretty at night with all the sham and drudgery that goes on there."
"Definitely sounds magical, I'll have to visit it sometime. Whenever our dawdling rescue party comes that is," Linda chuckled. Whoever was coming to get them was taking forever. She honestly did not think it would take this long, especially with the way technology was advancing these days.
"What about you? You all English countryside and men with fuzzy hats?"
Linda grinned, "Well for starters, it's not nearly as flashy and exciting as the lewd American Dreamland," Linda said to poke some fun back at Stu, " Though, London is very pretty once you get past the weather of gloom and glum. And the West End - its quite a sight. Countless shops, and restaurants and only the best shows in the world. I remember when we were younger, our parents used to take us there often," She smiled at the long gone family memories. Linda wanted to remember every second of all of them, however as she attempted to recall the best of them, she couldn't help but to notice that they were slowly fading away. Her heart sank slightly in her chest.
"But anyways, I haven't been back to England in two years. I lived...live in Australia at the moment with Liam and his family. London unfortunately became a dead end for me, so I've been trying to make something of myself in Sydney ever since." Linda explained as she had been playing with a stray twig between her fingers. She flicked it back down to where she had picked it up in the first place and turned to Stu.
"Lately I've been thinking in past tense about our lives and who we were, where we lived, what we did.....before all this happened. I guess I'm just becoming less optimistic about our rescue with the coming of each day that we are still here. A bit of a downer thought, I know." Linda had thought it and wasn't sure if she should have said it out loud or not, but sound escaped her lips and there it was, out in the open.

Stu never intended to do it but his limb acted on its own accorded and placed itself on Linda's shoulder.
"I know you don't really know me and have no reason to but trust me, we are getting off this island. Even if I have to make a raft and go bring the rescue my god damn self!"
It was getting to the point where they were going to start needing to get themselves off the island if they didnt start soon depression would set in and the liklihood of them getting off would become even slimmer. If Tom Hanks can do it and win a truck tonne of awards why couldn't he?

"I know you don't really know me and have no reason to but trust me, we are getting off this island. Even if I have to make a raft and go bring the rescue my god damn self!"
Amidst her worries and ever growing doubts, Linda was relieved and refreshed to find someone who was still optimistic and hopeful for their rescue.
"Well if worst comes to it, let me know if you need help building that raft," Linda chuckled as she grabbed for a water bottle. She noticed that the water bottle supply was running rather low, as everyone who had been working hard in the heat had a dire need to keep hydrated. She knew that they were starting to run slightly out of supplies in general, and Linda feared that if no rescue came for them then everyone would have to fend for themselves - survivor style.

A surge of immense pain jolted Jack to consciousness. Trying to open his eyes fully to assess the situation, he gasped for air but soon felt that it was hard to breathe in such a confined space with little oxygen. He could feel the dust enter his lungs as he struggled to breathe. How long was I out for? Where's Charlie? Jack thought to himself as he fought through the pain and dust to somewhat collect himself. Peering around, there was nothing but darkness. His attempt to move was abruptly stopped by the pain from rubble that had him pinned in the mound of rock and dirt. His shoulder was also causing him some intense grief. He could hear muffled voices from above and the sound of rocks being moved around. The need to get out was strong, especially if he didn't want his body to start failing on him. Jack tried to call out for help amidst the fatigue from low oxygen and pain from his injuries.
"I hear him."
"He's alive,"
"Jack, bro, you okay?"
Jack was washed with relief that the others could hear him. "I'm pinned. I can't move. I can't move," He said as loud as he could so that they could hear him. He needed to find out if Charlie was okay, as the last thing Jack remembered was the two of them talking together before it all happened. He felt bad for making Charlie feel the way he felt, especially with what Jack assumed he was going through. "Charlie was with me." If something had happened to Charlie, Jack didn't know what he would do.
"He's okay," "He made it out."
Jack was glad to hear that Charlie was not in the same situation as he was. He smiled with relief before the pain surge started up again. He felt very faint. Jack wondered if Kate was up there with them. She must be terrified. They all must be.
"Hey listen, Jack, we're going to get you out of there, okay?"
Jack tried to call out back to them before the world became completely dark.
The next thing his body woke him up to was a loud roaring sound of rocks and debris coming crashing down. This is it, the space is finally giving away, Jack thought as he braced himself for the worst. Out of nowhere, he saw a spot of light coming towards him, and out of the rubble a familiar face appeared bearing a flashlight. It was Charlie.
"Hi. I'm... I'm here to rescue you,"
Jack grinned from ear to ear, as he was happily amused that Charlie was here to help. The amusement slowly faded as Jack was reminded of the pain the debris was causing him. "Charlie, I'm completely pinned by these huge rocks. You'll have to try and move them off me," Jack insisted as he was not sure how much time they had left.

"Well if worst comes to it, let me know if you need help building that raft,"
Stu watched as she inspected the water bottle, he wasn't sure if she knew it but he could read her, sure normal reading he sucked at but growing up the way he did you learn to read people pretty quicky and right now Linda's mind was trying not to say they were all fire trucked. Stu covered his mouth feigning over exagerated shock.
"We haven't even had one date yet and you are already talking about romantic cruises. What will all the other ladies say Mrs. Pace."
He hoped to get her mind off the troubles at hand, atleast for a little bit as there would be plenty of time for that later. Ya know whent they were out of food and water and were at each others throats... or monster food whatever came first.

"We haven't even had one date yet and you are already talking about romantic cruises. What will all the other ladies say Mrs. Pace."
Linda's grin displayed slight signs amusement amongst the darkened thoughts of survival as she placed the water bottle that she had been toying with by her feet. "Sorry other ladies, you had your chance. He had me at hello. Now," Linda turned to look at Stu with bright blue doe-eyes as she spoke in a dreamy tone, "You may only call me Mrs. Darcy when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy" For those moments, she forgot where they were and the struggling situations they were all in. For the first time in a little while, someone had managed to make her smile and feel like herself again.

"I would like to call you tomorrow but I'm not sure my carrier covers mysterious island to mysterious island calls." Stu said more out of habit then anything else. Stu squint against the sun as he watched the others slowly working to free Jack and Charlie, god he missed his aviators. He looked back at Linda trying to keep her attention focused on him hoping she wouldn't worry so much about Charlie.

"I would like to call you tomorrow but I'm not sure my carrier covers mysterious island to mysterious island calls."
"Like I haven't heard that one before," Linda chuckled before returning her thoughts to the beating heat. She wondered how long it had been that they had been sitting in the shade for now. How long it had been since Charlie went into the mound of rubble to do his duty. Whatever the outcome, Linda knew it was something that was out of her control. Having Stu with her made her feel more comfortable in this hard situation, safe even. She just hoped it was all over soon.

***Kate enters from F3 - Mid-Jungle Area***
Kate could see the caves up ahead through the trees.
Hurley, Boone, and Michael stood in a group discussing the situation. Michael was hesitant to move the rocks and was concentrating, tapping into his construction knowledge of the stability of structures. So many moving pieces made it tricky.
"I say we try again," said Hurley to Michael.
Boone agreed. "We can't just leave them."
"If we don't move, they're going to run out of air," Hurley added.
Michael kept his eyes on the rocks and gave them a sweeping gesture to be quiet. "Would you stop talking, I'm trying to think."
Kate came through the clearing and as soon as she spotted the group at what used to be a cave entrance, she made a beeline for them. She was damp with sweat from running the entire way. She leaned over, resting one hand on her knee and pressing her other to a stitch in her side. "Where is he? Where is he?" she asked, breath coming fast.
"Kate," Michael said, partly in surprise and partly trying to ease her panic.
Kate pushed on. "Where is he? Where's Jack?" she persisted. She looked between them, all standing there, doing nothing and looking helpless. She could tell the news wasn't great but none of them wanted to be the one to tell her. As long as there was still a thread of hope, she held on to it.
Hurley nodded toward the now rubble-filled tunnel entrance. "He's in there."
That wasn't very helpful. She gestured toward the entrance. "Does anyone know if he's alive? Is he alive?" she asked in frustration.
Michael looked at her, a grim expression on his face. "We don't know. Charlie went in there through a tunnel that we dug, but it collapsed."
Kate felt the sensation of her stomach dropping again. She was going to be sick if she was given any other reason for it to happen again. She looked at the three again, then at the camp, most of which were standing around, observing the scene she was making. "Why is nobody digging?" she asked in frustrated anger.
Without waiting for any further explanation, Kate rushed to the wall of rocks and started to attack it, pulling rocks big and small and dropping them into the arms of anyone standing near.

Sealed off in the caves from the rest of the people, Charlie worked on getting Jack unpinned. He looked around but there wasn't much to work with. Nothing handy he could use for leverage. He'd have to use his bare hands.
Charlie settled himself in a good position and held his hands on the rock at the ready. He looked at Jack. "Okay, one, two, three." With brute force, Charlie grunted and rolled the large rock off of Jack. "Sorry," Charlie cringed after Jack let out a shout of pain.

Linda silently watched the scene unfold before her, her heart sinking to the pit of her stomach. She saw herself in Kate's reactions and panic as she was late to the scene and was experiencing all the whirlwind emotions that they had all been going through all day long.
"Why is nobody digging?"
Before anyone could answer, Kate started vigorously removing rocks and debris from the cave in. And at that, Linda sprung up from where her and Stu sat and ran over to Kate's side and got back to work. There was nothing to say in a situation like this, but actions were everything. And even though everyone was tired and losing hope, she couldn't let Kate go through this moment alone.

You ready?
Amidst all the pain, Jack nodded as Charlie slipped into position to remove the boulder. Jack braced himself as Charlie pushed the large boulder off of his body, the pressure from the weighing rock caused him grief. He let out a cry of agony as a horrendous amount of pain shot through his shoulder and radiated through his body.
"Sorry,"
"My shoulder....it's dislocated...." Jack formed the words as he panted immensely through the pain, "Charlie, you're going to have to pop it back."

Kate was in her own world. She was so focused on removing rocks that the faces of people taking them from her were a blur and the little nicks and cuts and scrapes she earned in her haste did not register.
Why were there so many? Why did it feel like she'd been removing rocks for an eternity and yet, there looked to be hardly any progress?

"My shoulder....it's dislocated...."
Charlie looked horrified. "What?" Up until this point, he'd been pretty proud of himself, feeling helpful and brave, thinking they were pretty much out of the woods. Or cave in this instance.
"Charlie, you're going to have to pop it back."
Charlie shook his head, his body automatically attempting to step back to separate from the situation, but in the tight quarters, his heel only hit wall. "No, I can't," he said, his pallor tinting a slight grey coupled with an expression as if Jack had just asked him to cut off his arm.

"No, I can't,"
Jack watched Charlie's expression go from beaming to crumbling. Charlie was scared, and that was okay. Jack tried his very best to compose himself, someone needed to be the rock in this tough situation. Taking a deep inhale, he cleared his head and tried to speak as evenly as possible amongst all the trauma and turmoil his body was feeling.
"Yes, you can." He said as understanding and calm as possible. In this moment, Jack believed in Charlie. He really could do it. It was just up to Charlie to fulfill the deed.

Jack's faith in him to actually be able to do this gave him faith in himself. He squared his shoulders.
"Okay, what do I --" he stepped closer to Jack's shoulder area and hunched closer, "what do I do?"

"Okay, what do I --" "what do I do?"
With his head, Jack motioned to where he wanted Charlie to start "Grab my hand..." he took a couple of breaths through his pain before proceeding with instruction, "And pull as hard as you can when I tell you. You can do this, Charlie." Jack instilled his faith once more into Charlie, for he was not sure how much longer either of them had in the dark, dust filled hole.

"Grab my hand..."
"This hand?" Of course it was that hand. He was trying to distract himself from panic by keeping a dialogue going. He didn't bother waiting for an answer and grabbed Jack's hand. "Okay, okay, wait," he said, being sure he took a good hold.
"And pull as hard as you can when I tell you.
Charlie positioned himself. "Okay, okay." His panic started to take control again with his little procrastinations. "Jack, I don't know, I don't, I don't..."
"You can do this, Charlie."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay," he said in rapid succession.
When Jack gave the all clear, Charlie pulled Jack's arm as hard as he could. As Jack yelled out in pain, Charlie felt the sickening feeling of Jack's arm popping back into place.
He settled himself onto a large rock and took a few minutes to himself as Jack recovered. The adrenaline mixed with his withdrawal left him feeling particularly on edge. Charlie rubbed a hand over his face and as he lowered his arm to rest on his leg, he could see the evidence of it in the shaking of his hand.

As Charlie's grip tightened around Jack's arm, Jack quickly took a few deep breaths to clear his mind and to prepare himself for the agonizing moment to come. His pang filled gaze met Charlie's, he could see the fright in his eyes yet he was ready to conquer the difficult task at hand. They both braced themselves for a brief, quiet moment before Jack gave the order.
"Now," Jack said rapidly and at that, Charlie moved as fast as he could, pulling Jack's arm back into place as hard as he could. Jack cried out in pure agony, multitudes worse than the pain he experienced before. Feeling as if his arm just got ripped out of his body, it took Jack a few minutes before he could compose himself once again. Yet once those few minutes had passed, the pain started to slowly dwindle, bringing Jack back around to a somewhat collective state. Jack squinted as the dust had noticeably settled, with Charlie becoming more visible in his sight. He looked completely drained from head to toe, sweat beads sliding down the sides of his forehead. His eyes were reddened which could have easily been mistaken for a reaction to the massive dust and debris exposure, but picking up the fact that his pupils were majorly dilated Jack had seen these symptoms before within his practice and knew there was much more to the story.
"How long has it been, Charlie?" Jack asked, trying to seem as least interrogating as possible.

Charlie's hand quickly closed into a tight fist that hid the shaking. He looked up in surprise, not realizing that Jack had recovered and had been watching him.
"I don't know what you're going on about," he said but not with as much conviction as usual when faced with the accusation of his addiction.
The truth was, he was tired of dealing with this on his own and there was nothing easily within grasp to help ease the withdrawal.

"I don't know what you're going on about,"
Jack had his speculations before, earlier into the day seeing the way Charlie held what had been left of his composure, his physical appearance, his irritability and actions. It all made sense now, why Jack had not come to the realization before was beside him. Jack knew Charlie would be used to hiding it and denying it by now, he wasn't surprised when Charlie denied the facts once more even in the life and death situation they resided in currently. Surely Charlie was in bad shape, and Jack knew he needed to crack down to the bottom of things. "How long since your last fix?" Jack asked, naturally snapping into the talent of his profession.

The way Jack gently yet firmly pressed the topic once again rid Charlie of his resolve. Jack made it sound clinical with a hint of concern, not the accusatory or pitying or angry way people usually approached him when it came to his addiction. There was also something about just having been through a life or death situation, one that was actually still hanging in the balance, that made a person feel more open to discussing a topic that made them feel self conscious and vulnerable.
Charlie dropped his head in defeat. He unfisted his hand and watched it shake before rubbing his palms on his jeans. He looked back at Jack. "Almost a day and a half."

"Almost a day and a half."
A day and a half. Jack could see the result of the withdrawals in Charlie's complexion and composure. Jack was both amazed and afraid that Charlie had decided to go cold turkey on his own, especially for this long without anyone to help or support him. With only a little bit of painful difficulty, Jack propped himself up enough to try and sit up and faced Charlie.
"How's the withdrawals treating you? Any hallucinations?" Jack asked, he was concerned as he figured that the withdrawals had been impacting Charlie's quality of life greatly within these past 30 hours or so.
