Charlie smirked and attempted to interject some humor to lighten the situation. "Apart from the conversation I had with you about an hour ago in the jungle, no, not really."
Being able to stop denying what was happening and have someone to talk this through with served to ease his comfort. He felt himself relaxing into the conversation as he let his shield down.

"Apart from the conversation I had with you about an hour ago in the jungle, no, not really."
Jack felt bad. If he had clued into the signs, he could have helped Charlie given himself to him for moral and medical support. Everyone deserves at least that one person in dire situations such as recovering from addiction. "Why didn't you say something, man? I could have helped you through it. I could have been there for you," Jack said empathetically. He was so sorry that Charlie had been going through this completely alone the past day and a half.

Charlie let out a sound of self defeat. He felt his worth lower further. He'd gone from feeling worthless to feeling like a burden. "Yeah, you think I'm useless, and a junkie to boot." There was a dry, deflated tone to his voice and he'd been unable to look Jack in the eye.

"Yeah, you think I'm useless, and a junkie to boot."
Jack noted that Charlie really meant what he said and believed in it as well. Charlie believed that he was useless, and Jack felt that may have been his fault as he recalled from earlier on in the day where he unintentionally treated Charlie as if he was a little kid in the way of adult tasks. Jack shook his head, "No Charlie, you're not useless," he began to say, before he paused for a brief moment and looked around at their surroundings, "It took a lot of guts getting in here, trying to rescue me. Not just anyone could do that," Jack said with friendly approval in his voice. He meant every word that he said to Charlie. Looking at Charlie, Jack slightly grinned in grave appreciation , "I'll never forget that."

Charlie's eyes went back to Jack's face to gauge if Jack meant what he'd said or if he was just trying to make him feel better. The corners of his mouth twitched up as he saw the sincerity on Jack's face. Charlie attempted to inject a bit of humor into the awkwardly unmanly high-feels moment. "For the rest of our lives?" he said with comedic morbid irony.

Jack slightly chuckled, chiming in to add to the twisted humor of the situation. "At the rate we're using up the oxygen In here?" Jack asked rhetorically as he looked up and around their dirt filled enclosure, "Yeah...that won't be too long." Rationally, Jack's hope in them surviving the unfortunate situation declined just as the oxygen would soon enough in the tiny hole they were in. It was only a matter of time, might as well find humor out of the unfortunate situation they found themselves in. Everyone on the outside of the cave in had done all that they could do, Jack knew this as fact, and was proud of each and every one of them. Charlie especially. Not many people would risk their lives to save another, and Jack's heart held nothing but respect for him. Even if they died in the cave today, Jack couldn't be any more proud.

Charlie chuckled, glad for the distraction despite the morbid topic.
He looked around the dark, suffocating cave and memories of long ago, before the music and the fame and the drugs, flashed into his mind.
"This place, it reminds me of confession, those little claustrophobic booths." There was a wistful smile playing about his lips as if the thought of going to confession was a fond memory when most would probably have cringed.

"This place, it reminds me of confession, those little claustrophobic booths."
Jack inwardly chuckled at the thought. He would have never come to the same realization as religion was never really an importance in his life, growing up into adulthood. So Jack would have never known what it would have been like to step into a little box and pour out all of your deeply shameful sins to a man of God, but he could only imagine that it would be Hell within itself.
"Well I`m sure as hell no priest," Jack chuckled lightly, "But even that sounds more ideal right now than being in here." Jack joked, as he let out a couple of coughs that he quickly covered with his forearm. He could feel his head growing slightly lighter as they were coming close to running low on oxygen.

Charlie rested his chin in his palm. "Guess that means you don't want to hear my confession then, eh? Good thing. Might've take a while."
Something fluttered by his ear and he dropped his arm, sitting up and looking around for another sign of movement. It caught the corner of his eye and his eyes locked onto it, watching it. "It's a moth," he said in surprise. It fluttered Jack's way and Charlie pointed at it. "Right behind you, look. There's a bloody moth in here. Look!" He smiled gleefully as he stood up and started to follow it around the small area.
He looked a bit off his rocker, trapped in a cave-in and chasing a moth around. In his mind though, he saw it as a sign of hope. It wasn't because of Locke's moth speech, though he did make a mental note at the extreme coincidence. No, it was the fact that if this moth got in, there must be a way out.

Jack noticed Charlie's expression changed drastically as he looked in disbelief. Being in the life or death situation they were currently in, Jack could only assume the worst and felt a slow rise of panic within. "What Is it, Charlie?"
"It's a moth,"
"What?" Jack was rather skeptical, considering they were in a tight little hole in the dirt. There was no way that any sort of critter could get in. Unless there happened to be a way out.
"Right behind you, look. There's a bloody moth in here. Look!"
Jack pivoted his body around and looked up to see if he could find what Charlie was talking about. Low and behold, there it was. The moth was fluttering against the dirt walls, trying to find the way it came in. Jack did not dare to lose sight of that moth, for it could lead them to their miraculous way out.

The moth was small enough to have worked its way through a very small hole, Charlie figured. However it got in, its way could have closed up. Either way, the dirt around that area would no doubt be loose and easily give way. Charlie started to feel around the cave walls for any give. Something that didn't feel like rocks or solid packed dirt.
The darkness of the cave along with his attention up on the walls and cave ceiling caused him to stumble a couple times but he kept his footing. He stepped over a bigger pile of rocks and as he continued feeling along, a flash of white stung his eyes. He stepped back to about where he thought he'd seen it and moved his head around until the pinpoint of light once again pierced through the darkness.
"There's light." Charlie held his hand up toward it, a barely visible dot of light appearing on his palm. He turned toward Jack and grinned. "I can see light."
The hole was in the upper corner of the cave. The fact that it was on the ceiling cave made him confident that there wasn't risk of making their situation worse. The light meant open space. Charlie immediately began working, pulling at the loose dirt. There was no concern over additional dirt or small rocks falling from above as it only meant it was getting them closer to that open space.

Kate felt the tickle of sweat on her forehead and swiped at it with the back of her arm, annoyed at the millisecond of delay the inconvenience caused. Ignoring the aching protest of her muscles, she arduously continued to pull away rubble and hand it off to whoever was closest enough to take it from her.
Michael hesitantly attempted to pull her away again. "Hey Kate, you need to take a break."
"I'm fine," she said with annoyance in a quick winded breath without sparing him a look or stopping her momentum. Like the other times, she handed her armload to him so he'd have to move away to the discard pile.
This time, however, Michael stood his ground. "We've got enough people to dig. You keep going at this pace your going to kill yourself."
Kate took a quick moment to shoot him a look and simply piled another good sized rock on top of the one he still held then continued right on working.

Jack's sight had been set on the moth as it fluttered against the dirt walls of their enclosure. He watched as Charlie frantically followed it with his whole being until he came to a sudden halt.
"There's light." "I can see light."
Jack chuckled in both disbelief and relief, but before he could fully react Charlie went straight to work at the walls. Still in pain but recovering, Jack mustered the strength he had left to step up and help Charlie as much as he possibly could. If this was their chance at getting out of the situation at hand then there was no time to lose.

Linda side glanced at the bickering of Michael and Kate as she picked up a fairly large rock from the mound of rubble. Holding the rock in both hands, her gaze locked onto the rock as she listened to the emotionally heated conversation. No matter how hard they tried, this was all they could do and nothing more. Linda didn't want to quit, but she was sick and tired of false hopes, thinking that they could actually do something. At this rate, who knows if they were even alive. Seeing Kate, whom always appeared to be one of the strongest rocks of the group of survivors, this distressed emotionally and physically was hard to bear especially with the thought that this was it. That there was nothing more than this that they could achieve. Linda's shaky hands let the rock fall to the ground as she silently slipped away, dismissing herself for a brief walk in the jungle to clear her head.

They were making good progress. They'd dug enough to where the ceiling was no longer easily reached. Charlie looked at the steep hill of dirt and rocks piled up along the side of the cave wall and then to Jack. He was in no condition to be attempting to climb and dig at the same time. "I've got it from here," he said, for once being the dismisser of help rather than the dismissee.
Charlie carefully got a good footing on the step hill in order to reach higher and continued to dig, crawling a little higher and a little higher with progress until he hit a patch of harder packed dirt. He punched at it, turning his head away from falling dust and felt it slowly give way. Finally, his fist shot through the ground and he felt the warmth of the sun and the breeze hit his hand.

"I've got it from here,"
As assertive as Jack usually was, he allowed Charlie to take the reigns on the situation as his body was still in pain and did not have much strength left within him. He nodded as he grabbed his bothersome side, and slowly sank back downwards to rest. Through the pain, Jack grinned to himself in relief as they were about to get out of there.

Linda was finally alone as she slipped to the outskirts of the caves. She needed a breather, to clear her mind of everything that had happened. Hands still quivering from physical and emotional exhaustion, her composure remained numbingly collective and calm as she casually walked through the bush. She was aware of what the situation had become, and convinced herself to believe that the worst had happened and that there was nothing else any of them could do. It all happened so fast. Charlie had walked back into her life one moment, and then gone the next. Yet she knew she wasn't alone, and that she would get through this with everyone, together. She was ready to accept that fact, no matter how much the introvert within her disliked it. Linda deeply pondered these thoughts, before witnessing something she had never seen before.
Right before her, a hand ripped through the ground near her. No other natural reaction other than letting out a harshly pitched scream had come to Linda very quickly. She fell to the ground out of shock, and in a frightened state she crawled backwards. Her back hitting against the trunk of a nearby tree, she watched frozen in horror as the hand soon revealed an arm, and then the rest of the body. Linda was so frozen in fright that she did not notice Walt who had come to her aide, standing right beside her and witnessing the same sight. Her eyes widened in disbelief to whom it was that was before her. "Ch-Charlie?" Linda managed to hammer out amidst her shaking stutter.

Charlie kept his head down as the dirt above continued to fall, first in small particles then larger chunks as he moved his arm around, widening the hole as he pushed himself upward. He grew more proud of himself with each inch of freedom he gained. It was an especially heady feeling after feeling like a bloody useless junkie these past couple days.
Charlie had wiggled himself free up to his chest when he heard a voice to his right.
"Ch-Charlie?"
Charlie paused in his struggle and looked to his right. "'Eh sis!" he said cheerily with a broad smile. He used his arms to continue to push himself upward but the earth crumbled below his hands. It piled inward and creating a sort of quicksand effect. "Help your big brother out, yah?" he said, holding out an arm toward Linda.

Propping herself up from the trunk which her back slammed firmly against in fright, Linda cocked her head slightly to the left as if it would help her better comprehend the image in front of her.
"'Eh sis!"
She heard him all right, but was frozen in disbelief as if she had just seen a ghost. Was this real? Or was it this mystical island place playing tricks on her mind as she had heard it happen to others these past few days? Just moments ago she was set on the fact that her brother was dead and that she would have to say goodbye, and now here he was right in front of her.
"Help your big brother out, yah?"
Suddenly springing to her feet, Linda ran over and crouching over Charlie, Linda continued to help him out of the hole. Noticing Walt finally, Linda called him over rapidly to help her and the two of them successfully help Charlie back on top of the ground. "Jack's still in there?!" Linda asked immediately as she got on both hands to dig away the hole so that she could see in the earth below.

Jack sat back against the wall of the hole as Charlie disappeared upward and out of their tiny enclosure. Jack grinned uncontrollably as he saw Charlie escaping from the hole and heard more voices above. He had done it, Charlie had saved the day and they were going to get out of here. As Charlie fully ejected from the hole, bits of dust and dirt fell into the enclosure, falling onto Jack's face. Wiping away the dirt, Jack moved forward inch by inch and though his shoulder was back in place it was still bothersome. Moving through the pain, Jack tried his best to move towards the exit as the hole got bigger. "I'm down here," Jack attempted to shout out, but he noticed that he was becoming a lot more fatigued than he had felt.

Charlie gave a short-breathed "thanks" to his sister and Walt and lay still on the ground where they'd helped him out, trying to gather his breath and collect some strength. The next part would be more difficult.
Jack's still in there?!"
"Yah," he started to say when Jack's voice came up from under the ground to answer Linda's question.
"I'm down here."
"He's gonna need help getting out." Charlie quickly swiped the dirt from his face with the hem of his shirt before more dirt could get into his already scratchy eyes. "He dislocated his shoulder. I helped him set it," he said, trying to sound casual about it though a hint of pride could be heard, "but he's still hurting."
Charlie knelt back on the ground and helped Walt widen the hole enough so that three of them would be able to reach in and help Jack out. There was a problem though. With his bum shoulder, he'd only have one arm of his own to work with and the three of them would have an awkward time getting him out with only one arm to grab hold of to pull him out.
"Hang on," he said, motioning for them to stop digging. Charlie leaned back on his heels, and spoke as he thought out the plan. "The hole is big enough but it'll be too hard to pull him straight out without hurting his shoulder. We need to start pushing the dirt in around the edge right here," he said, gesturing to where the cave wall was below. "Make Jack a sort of dirt hill to climb as we heft him by his good arm."

"He's gonna need help getting out." "He dislocated his shoulder. I helped him set it," "but he's still hurting."
Linda gave her attention to Charlie the best she could while digging at the hole to try and get Jack out. Soon enough, Walt and then Charlie joined right in with her to make a team effort. All of their focus was on the doctor and getting him to safety.
"Hang on,"
Linda and Walt stopped their digging on Charlie's que, almost in sync. Linda's eyes fixated on Charlie, waiting for instruction.
"The hole is big enough but it'll be too hard to pull him straight out without hurting his shoulder. We need to start pushing the dirt in around the edge right here," "Make Jack a sort of dirt hill to climb as we heft him by his good arm."
Linda looked over at Walt, who was already looking at her for her approval first. Linda's expression was slight surprised but mostly impressed by the good plan Charlie had come up with under pressure. Not that his ideas were ever bad, but Linda was still getting to know him better every day that they were here. Linda's gaze snapped back to Charlie as she nodded her head in agreement. "Alright, let's get to it," Linda said as she jumped the gun and began to push mounds of dirt carefully over to the edge.

Jack peered up and noticed the commotion about the hole above that grew larger. He knew that they were on the ball with the rescue mission as quickly as they possibly could, however he knew that his shoulder would need medical attention a lot sooner than later. Mustering up some strength, Jack peered up and shouted as loud as his fatigued body would allow him to do so, "Anything I can do to help from down here?"

"We're pushing a bit of dirt back down against the cave wall," Charlie called down. "Give us a shout when you think it's gotten manageable for footing."
They were going to need Jack to manage a few steps up with only the help of one arm to pull him until the other two would be able to reach around his torso to help the rest of the way. Footing would be important the entire way. Big strapping man that he was, the three smaller built helpers would need the help. The last thing they wanted to happen was to have him tumbling back down causing further injury.

"We're pushing a bit of dirt back down against the cave wall," "Give us a shout when you think it's gotten manageable for footing."
Linda partially listened to Charlie as he shouted down to Jack to inform him of what the next step was to rescue, however in this moment, everything inside of her was dedicated to working as fast as she possibly could to get the doctor to safety. Linda did not notice the mud and dirt caking her knees, arms and practically every part of her body that touched the jungle floor, nor did she care at this point. Everything was but a blur as they frantically pushed the dirt mounds downward against the cave wall. Exhausted, Linda took a moment and stopped her work as she stood upwards to look at the work effort that they had achieved. The mound was starting to look good enough for Jack to climb over and get some footing on, now all they needed was to hear the ' good to go ' from the doctor himself.

"We're pushing a bit of dirt back down against the cave wall," "Give us a shout when you think it's gotten manageable for footing."
Jack conjured up a nod, even though the rest of the crew up on the ground couldn't see it. He was tired and sore, but he needed to save the rest of his strength for the grand finale. Jack watched the mound and waited, impressed at how fast Charlie and the rescuers were getting the job done. He would be ever grateful to these strangers that were quickly becoming family to him with every day they spent on this island, Charlie especially. Charlie remained courageous and strong throughout this entire situation, and Jack would never forget what Charlie did for him today. Jack surveyed the ever growing mound with his eyes, estimating that it was now the perfect size for him to climb over and get a decant footing.
"It's good!" Jack shouted upwards as he took initiative and started to make his way towards the mound, "I'm going to climb over It now, be ready," Jack said as loudly as possible as he began to struggle over the mound. Only having one fully functioning arm in this situation was mildly tough but Jack was still fairly strong enough to make this work. He just hoped the other side was prepared to lift him out the rest of the way when he had done all he could do on his end. Propping his feet up on the mound, he pushed into the heels of his feet and powered through the muscles in his legs to bring himself to almost a standing position as he leaned against the dirt wall.

After a few steps upward by Jack, Charlie was able to grab onto the forearm of Jack's good arm with a firm grip. "Grab on," he said, waiting for Jack to get a firm grip on his forearm in return. "I've got you," he reassured as he slowly and patiently pulled with all his strength and kept steady as Jack took each step toward freedom.
It was working. His plan was working. He felt more of his damaged confidence and self worth returning.
When Jack was high enough, Charlie shifted his kneeling position around to place himself under Jack's good arm, wrapping it over his shoulder. He then slowly got to his feet, using his full body strength to life Jack out. The help of the other two kept him from collapsing under the weight of Jack's solid frame.

"Grab on," "I've got you,"
Jack's panged but determined gaze broke from peering down at his fatigued legs to the hand that reached down towards him. With all of his might, he swung his good arm upwards and grasped at the wall before him as he attempted to push himself upwards. His injured arm felt as if it had a blazing ring of inferno burning around his shoulder, but he felt that he had to help in any way that he possibly could to ensure the success of the rescue. It was all a bit of a blur to Jack through the pain and fatigue, but at last he was pulled to safety. Back on top of the ground again, he peered around to notice that he was supported by Charlie, Linda and Walt who ensured that he remained upright while he came to. Squinting his eyes at the bright sunlight, it felt good to feel the warmth of the sun again. Jack took a couple of deep breaths of the fresh air only to cough out dirt and dust still polluting the inside of his lungs and nasal cavity.

"It's good!" "I'm going to climb over It now, be ready,"
Linda shifted her attention to down below in the hole where Jack was shouting. At that, Linda and Walt jumped to their feet and looked to Charlie who was ready to bounce back to action. As Charlie pulled Jack up through the entrance of the hole, Linda and Walt followed Charlie's lead as they helped to support both Charlie and Jack the best that they possibly could. Slowly but surely they succeeded as they gathered everything they had within themselves for one last powerful effort to retrieve Jack from the hole entrance and on to the ground. They did it. By some miracle, Jack and Charlie were both alive and well. Their bodies relaxed with relief as they supported Jack upright and allowed him to gain back his strength before the three of them continued to support Jack as they guided him back to the entrance of the caves where everyone else had been.
*** Linda, Charlie, Jack and Walt exit the outer rim of the caves and back to the main entrance with the other survivors ***
Back at the entrance of the caves, Linda, Charlie and Walt stagger in supporting Jack who is looking rather exhausted and in pain. Everyone is caked in dirt and mud and looks pretty rough around the edges. "We got the doctor! We got Jack!" Walt exclaims as they make their wavering entrance, trying to keep Jack upright as best as possible before they could obtain some more help.

Kate continued to haul out rocks, ignoring her exhaustion and Michael's more frequent attempts to get her to take a break. It took a few moments for what was being shouted to sink through to her distracted mind. She froze, forgetting the big rock she'd had halfway pulled clear and turned, watching in a tired haze as Jack, Charlie, Linda, and Walt neared the center of camp.
Excited relief finally struck her and a newfound burst of energy had her rushing forward and grasping him in a huge hug just as Charlie and the others released Jack from their hold.
