Jack could hear gasps and exclamations of both shock and joy at the sight of them all walking in. He peered around at every single one of them, as they were mid clearing the rubble. All sweaty, tired and caked in dirt. And yet, they all seemed to come together as a team for Jack when he needed them the most. Jack felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude towards every single one of them and could not wait to thank them and return the favor by being the best he could be for them. That is, once he was composed again and not in a dire need to rest his whole body, let alone his shoulder. All of a sudden, Jack was ambushed by a relieved Kate as she wrapped her arms around him. Right as she embraced Jack, he felt the pressure on his bad shoulder become immense.
"Oww," Jack expressed as he drew a single rapid breath in at the pain, "Easy, easy," Jack said as kind as he possibly could through the pressure. Although he was in pain and an embracing hug might not be the best idea for his condition at the moment, Jack truly was happy to see her and was glad that out of everyone there that he got to see her first. He had been worried about her while he was stuck in the hole, how she must have felt and hoped that she hadn't worried too much about him. But he knew that she did.
Everyone else came forward to greet Jack and the rest of the gang back to safety. "How did you get out?" Hurley asked curiously, ever so grateful to see the doctor again. At that, Jack grinned proudly and nodded towards Charlie, "Charlie found a way," Jack said as he gave recognition to his friend. Charlie deserved it, after all they just went through. In Jack's eyes, Charlie was a hero.

Linda was thankful that the doctor and Charlie especially were both alive and back to safety. She didn't really think it was a big deal that she had a helping hand in the end or felt that she needed any sort of recognition, she was just doing her duty as a team player. And now that her duty was done, she felt that she wasn't all for welcome back parties so Linda made an attempt to slip away unnoticed to grab a drink from the unopened water bottle nearby. She would speak to Charlie whenever things quieted down and whenever he would have a moment. For now, she would just let him bask in his well deserved glory.

Kate felt the jolt of pain go through Jack before he had the chance to warn her of his injury. She pulled back, a look of apology with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Luckily, she was saved from having to acknowledge her impulsive reaction as everyone was crowding around. Kate took advantage of the distraction to slip away and collect herself.
She finally sat down on the ledge of the small pool of water, holding a water bottle under the waterfall. As she let it fill, she looked around, getting her first good look at the caves. All her concentration had been on Jack stuck in the cave-in and she hadn't noticed anything around her as she'd made a beeline for the cave-in.
It was a beautiful spot. She could see why some would want to take up residence here. But that was the problem. Kate avoided anything resembling taking up residence. Settling was so far from what had become her nature.
As Kate gulped down half the bottle of water, she automatically pulled her mind from those thoughts by thinking up more things that needed to be done. First and foremost on her mind was Jack's return. She was already up and on her feet again, taking sips of her water on the go while she started on her search for a piece of clothing or material.

A little over an hour passes.
Afternoon has turned to evening and
the moon has taken the place of the sun.

As time passed, the commotion of the celebratory rescue had come to a calming standstill as night time blanketed the sky. Still in a bit of shock of all that had happened and that they had gone through today, Jack's gaze held onto the burning embers of the campfire before him. It had been one hell of a day as he looked back on the whirlwind blur, but alas they pulled through with the help of Charlie who stayed right by Jack's side the rest of the day. And as the day turned into evening, even after the trauma he had experienced earlier today, Jack's instinctive medical side kicked in as he noticed Charlie's withdrawal symptoms continued to plague him as expected. He was glad Charlie was right by him still as he would very much like to monitor the situation to make sure that Charlie was getting the proper medical attention as needed. For saving his life, this was the least that Jack could do for him.
With his shoulder still bearing a dull ache, Jack pulled the draped blanket to cover him more as Hurley made his water bottle rounds. Jack noticed the shakiness of Charlie's beaten up hands from the rubble as Charlie reached for the bottles of water, and apparently Hurley noticed as well.
"Dude. You feeling okay?" Hurley started. " You look a little..."
And before Charlie could say anything, Jack stepped in, "Flu. He's got the flu." Jack confirmed as him and Charlie shared a deep, thankful glance. Charlie did not owe any explanation to anyone, he just needed to focus on getting back on track with his health and Jack was more than happy to help him. Not only was it his duty as a medical professional, but also he owed this to Charlie after everything.
Jack peered around through the thick darkness that was lit by the campfires and the starry sky, wondering where Kate had gone off to. He hadn't seen her in what felt like some time, and hoped that she was doing okay.

After Kate had found a torn t-shirt tossed aside, she found a quiet place and kept to herself, working on her little project. She'd used a knife borrowed from Locke to cut the material to a more even width then worked on getting it tied in the right places to allow for the right amount of give and right amount of hold.
It had to be just right. An hour had passed before she felt satisfied enough with it and hoped she'd guestimated the measurements correctly. Kate remained in her tucked away spot, glancing over every now and again. Charlie was still there and they looked to be talking privately. She didn't want to interrupt but also, there was a self-conscious feeling at having someone directly observe what she'd made for Jack and watch as she helped him into it. They might get the wrong idea. At least she tried to tell herself it was the wrong idea. Truth was, after thinking she'd lost him--no, they lost him--she was having a harder time ignoring the fact that she was drawn to him.
Kate knew she was making too big of a deal out of it. It was just a sling. A hesitant step and she stopped again. Hurley was there now, talking to Jack and Charlie but moved on after a short exchange. She started walking over and to her relief, heard Charlie excuse himself.
"I think I'm going to stretch my legs."
Kate walked up behind him, grinning to herself at the fact he hadn't heard her. She carefully put the rag over his head and when he started to turn, she leaned down and met his gaze halfway to save him from causing further strain to his shoulder.
"Made you something," she said cheerfully as she adjusted the arm rest portion to the right spot. She knelt down next to him and put her hand through the loop, gently taking hold of his forearm to pull through the opening. After stretching the material to its proper place, she made a couple adjustments. Satisfied with the results, she inquired after his opinion. "How's that?"

"I think I'm going to stretch my legs."
Jack heard Charlie announce as Charlie got up and walked away. Not even a brief moment later did Kate appear before Jack. He smiled at her as she came up and sat right down next to him, noticing that she was holding something in her hands.
"Made you something,"
Jack was not expecting anything from anyone, their efforts today were more than enough. But he knew that he couldn't refuse her, Kate was strong willed that way and he liked that about her. She brought the item up higher in the campfire light for Jack to see what it was. From the material tied together in a loop, Jack knew immediately what it was as he had to make similar versions for other survivors who had become injured in the crash except Kate's was nicer than all the other ones that Jack had made combined.
"My very first sling," He grinned at her as his tone gave off that he was rather touched by her act of kindness, which he truly was. For Kate to spend her day digging at rubble to get to him and her night putting together a sling for him was very selfless as she must be incredibly exhausted and tired. Jack appreciated that. He appreciated her.
Jack felt Kate move closer to him as she slipped the blanket off of his shoulders and carefully fitted the sling around his neck and eased his arm into the loop.
"How's that?"
"Better," Jack beamed as he peered down at his new sling, impressed with the work Kate had done. "Thank you," Jack thanked her appreciatively as he looked up at her.

Kate settled close beside him, still smiling over the fact that she'd made him smile despite the pain he must be in.
"So," she began, attempting to look serious as she made a study of the area. "These are the safe caves you've been going on about." A smile played at the corner of her lips as she made light of their disagreement over caves versus the beach. Her opinion on the whole thing remained unchanged. She was only attempting to lighten the mood after a strenuously harrowing day.

"These are the safe caves you've been going on about."
Jack noticed her unchanged opinion of moving from the beach to the caves in her tone of voice as he grinned in defeat.
"Alright, one unsafe cave in this whole valley. That we know of, to say the least," Jack mentioned as he attempted to justify the situation, standing by his first decision to move to the caves. A moment of silence went by as Kate did not say much in return on the matter. "So," Jack started, "I assume this means that you're going back to the beach?" Jack asked, he knew when Kate had her mind set on something that next to nothing could sway her. The whole cave in scenario definitely did not help Jack's case.

Kate sobered when he brought up the source of their disagreement. Regretting that the lighthearted banter had come to an end, she turned to watch the fire as she answered.
"Sayid should be back there by now and if his plan worked then..." Then they could find the location of the looping distress call and turn it off in order for Sayid to put one of their own out after doing his magic with whatever equipment he could find. Rescue could be here in a matter of days.
'Then what?' she wondered, suddenly lost in that overwhelming thought.

"Sayid should be back there by now and if his plan worked then..."
Jack noticed Kate trailed off in thought, as he noticed a glimmer of hope within her. "Then we're one step closer to getting off this island," Jack finished as he looked over at Kate. Jack believed in this mission and he believed in Sayid. If anyone could get the job done, he knew that he could always count on him. Jack looked forward to the much anticipated reunion with Sayid tomorrow to discuss their next move to getting rescued.

*** Sayid and Heidi enter the caves from F3 - Fuselage and Surrounding Area ***
Sayid held up his torch as he peered around the thick of the jungle as it began to start to thin out slightly, assuming they were almost at the their destination. Sayid had not been to the caves before, and with simple direction he knew that he would have eventually figured out the way. However, he was glad that Heidi was here to lead the way, as his head began to feel the slight woozy aftermath of the hard blow he had taken earlier. Their trek to the caves had taken them a little while, but the length of time was enough for Sayid to get caught up on the recent current events that had taken place. He was alarmed to hear that Jack had been buried in a cave in but was relieved that everyone had managed to pull together and succeed in a miraculous rescue. Sayid felt a pang of anxiousness of telling Jack what had happened, as if he needed something else to have gone wrong. But there seemed to be a traitor among them, and Sayid was going to get to the bottom of both the culprit as well as retrieving that transmission signal. Somehow.
Finally Heidi and Sayid stumbled upon the camp at the caves. Things seemed to have settled to a collective calm, for now that is.

The sounds of movement around me started to pull me from sleep. Then the memories from the night before started to flood through the haze and adrenaline had me fully awake. Shit. What time was it? I blinked up at the spots of sunlight visible through the canopy of trees. 'Shit, shit, shit,' I thought as I scrambled to my feet and headed out for the beach without taking pause to grab some food, refill my half-empty water bottle, or even exchange a single word with anyone.

"Yeah, that's a nice head wound all right," Jack stated as he had Sayid's head in both of his hands, examining the open sore under Sayid's hair. Picking up a cloth and a peroxide bottle nearby, Jack prepared the two items together. "Now, I know that you can probably do this yourself but I'm just going to make sure that the wound gets clean first. It would be hard for you to see anything anyways," Jack said and at that, pressing the peroxide infused cloth onto Sayid's head he managed to clean out the dirt and sweat out of the wound. Taking the cloth from Jack, Sayid finished the job as Jack took a seat right in front of him. It was time to get down to business. "Now, are you ready to tell me what the hell happened to you out there?"

Sayid winced slightly as the peroxide made contact with his head wound, but tried to play off the pain as best as he possibly could. It really was no big deal, it was just a minor bump to the head. But Jack , being the assertive gentleman he was, wanted to take a look at it so Sayid figured there was no harm in humoring the doctor while he was quite alright physically.
"Now, are you ready to tell me what the hell happened to you out there?"
Making sure there were no busy bodies listening in, Sayid peered around his shoulders a brief few times before returning back to Jack who was now sitting right across from him.
"We were trying to triangulate the transmission by the French woman," Sayid started in a low voice, wincing through the obvious pain that had risen for a sudden moment, "I saw the flare from the beach, then the flare from Sawyer’s position in the jungle. I turned on my antenna, activated the transceiver and then that's when I got attacked." Sayid spoke regrettably as he leaned in a bit closer, "Whoever hit me came from behind. And I haven't the slightest idea who would do such a thing. But whoever this is, I will do what I need to do to find the man responsible." After a few seconds of vengeance speech, Sayid took a brief moment to put the peroxide soaked rag aside. "They destroyed the transceiver, Jack. It's completely unfixable." Sayid did not waste time showing the fact that he was disappointed and angry. Disappointed that their plan had failed and angry that someone would do something like this. Who wouldn't want to get rescued out of this hell?

"We were trying to triangulate the transmission by the French woman," "I saw the flare from the beach, then the flare from Sawyer’s position in the jungle. I turned on my antenna, activated the transceiver and then that's when I got attacked.""Whoever hit me came from behind. And I haven't the slightest idea who would do such a thing. But whoever this is, I will do what I need to do to find the man responsible."
Christ. Sayid was surely thrown through the ringer. Jack couldn't imagine how defeated Sayid must truly be feeling, as he had really believed that this was the thing that was going to get them off of this island. Jack also wondered who would attempt to ruin their chances of a rescue back to their normal lives. He looked around the caves at everyone there that were all minding their business and going about their day. If there wasn't a traitor among them, then who? And if there was - they would have what would be coming for them.
"They destroyed the transceiver, Jack. It's completely unfixable."
Jack attempted to show empathy through expression as Sayid was completely beside himself. Putting his hands on his thighs, he stood upright and walked towards the water bottle that was parked on the boulder nearby with the rest of the supplies he had been using. ""We’ll figure this out, man. Just don't do anything that..."
Their private conversation got interrupted by someone coming into the caves, shouting quite alarmingly. Once Jack saw a woman figure carrying the support of a man who appeared to be in bad shape, he immediately dropped what he was doing and ran over to help. As Jack approached the man and woman, he realized with was Shannon and Boone. Ducking under Boone`s arm to relieve Shannon, he helped Boone fully into the caves and sat him down on the boulder that he had been treating Sayid on. Jack took a close look at Boone, his face as swollen as a red balloon.
"Who did this to you?" Jack asked Boone as he soaked a clean cloth in the peroxide and dabbed his face.
Still quite frantic from what had just happened, Boone managed to form words through his quickened breaths, "Sawyer."
Sawyer. That bastard. Jack shook his head in anger at Sawyer as he treated Boone. Why was it that something like this happened, Sawyer was the root of the cause? Jack was not surprised, but enough was enough. Sawyer was becoming a menace and needed to be stopped immediately.
------------------------------------------------ About 5 minutes or so went by, and Jack was able to calm Boone down enough to be able to converse normally once more.
"Lots of scrapes today. I'm gonna need more peroxide soon," Jack joked as him and Boone shared a chuckle in the shitty situation.
"Yeah. I should’ve been able to take him. Son of a bitch fights dirty"
Jack put the cloth down and handed Richard a bottle of water nearby to hydrate himself. "So, you wanna tell me what happened between you two?"
"Shannon's asthma," Boone made a motion with his head that pointed towards Shannon who was currently by the stream of water with Hurley, "She had an inhaler. She's sneaks hits when no one's looking. She's been embarrassed about it since she was a little kid. I guess breathing's not cool. But anyways, It ran out a couple of days ago. But I had 4 refills which should have been enough for a couple of months. But she always forgets her medication so I put it my suitcase. Today I see that jackass reading Watership Down."
Jack stared at him rather blankly as Boone had clearly dragged the story out a bit much. Jack much preferred cutting to the chase, but he was aware that not everyone was like that. "I'm sorry man, you've lost me."
""Watership Down." It's a book," Boone started to explain himself a smidge more clear as he made hand motions to help, as if they actually did help that is, " It was in our luggage -- the stuff we checked. Looked for the last week, but we couldn’t find it. If he’s got my book, then he’s got my suitcase. He’s got my suitcase, he’s got the inhalers. If she has an attack, it will be bad man."
Jack could see the desperation in Boone's eyes for his sister. And Jack really felt for him. Fueled with every reason in the book to finally confront Sawyer, Jack was finally ready to do something about him and his selfish ways.

*** Gwen, Seb, and Stu enter from F3 - Area of Survivor's Camp ***
Gwen was relieved they had finally arrived at the caves. Away from the sun, the temperature was much lower in here. As her eyes adjusted to the darkened space, she looked around to see who was now staying here, greeting those faces that were familiar. Only she didn't see Jack, nor did she see Heidi. She shrugged out of her backpack and placed it on the rocks by the water, unzipping it and removing the empty bottles inside.
When she noticed Sayid sitting alone, she decided to take a moment to check in with him. "Hi," she began, "Kate told me you'd been hurt. I hope it's nothing serious. We can't have you and Jack on the injured reserve list." Lowering herself down on the rocks to sit beside him finally gave her a chance to get off her feet. "Have you had any luck with the transceiver?" She only knew as much as anyone else -- that several of them had hiked to higher ground a few days before to try to send out a signal. Given that the plane was so far off course, that was more important than ever.

Seb looked around as they arrived at the caves, taking in the running water and rocky outcroppings. The air felt cooler here thanks to the shade from the trees and the slight spray from the miniature waterfall nearby. Seb moved over to the flowing water and looked it up and down appraisingly before kneeling and starting to fill up water bottles. He’d always found water to be quite comforting and enjoyed being near it. He’d even found ways to incorporate it into the therapy room at his clinic by including a small water feature on the table that sat beside him and his client, a calm and relaxing thing that sent water gently flowing down a set of resin steps and over some small pebbles. He wondered if the background noise of this mini waterfall would help him sleep.
He looked over at the man Gwen was talking to. He’d seen him around but hadn’t spoken to him and now didn’t seem like the best time to start – to say he was looking under the weather would be an understatement. Once he’d filled the bottles up he’d bring one over to him. That seemed like the most useful thing he could do right now.

HURLEY
Noticing the new arrivals, he decided to take a break from housekeeping and see what they were up to. Stu had been there the day before after the cave-in, but the other man was new to him. "Hey, man," he greeted. "Everything good back at the beach? Or maybe a cruise ship pulled up and we're all saved?"

"Hey, man. Everything good back at the beach? Or maybe a cruise ship pulled up and we're all saved?"
Seb looked up at the man addressing him and laughed. "If only! No such luck yet though, I'm afraid. Though there was talk of us setting up a spa on the beach. Hopefully whatever's been shaking trees in the jungle doesn't have a taste for hot tubs" he smiled, holding out his hand. "I'm Seb."

HURLEY
"Hurley," he said, shaking the man's hand. "Yeah, the less we see whatever that thing is, the better. But a spa on the beach could work. The ocean sound is already there. Supposed to be calming or whatever. Anyway, welcome to the caves, man. We still got some stuff to go through. Did you see Jack on your way here?" The doctor had made a quick exit after Boone and Shannon arrived, and he wasn't sure why or to where.

"Nice to meet you, Hurley" Seb replied. He genuinely meant it. The guy had an air of awkward friendliness about him that Seb found endearing, especially after his earlier failed attempts at socialising. "And no, I haven't seen him around since this morning, sorry. I'm sure he can't have gone far..." Seb was already questioning his own statement. Jack always seemed to be off doing things and hiking off into various parts of the island. He was genuinely surprised the guy hadn't gotten killed yet.

"And no, I haven't seen him around since this morning, sorry. I'm sure he can't have gone far..."
"Yeah, but you don't need to go far to run into something...bad," Hurley remarked. Most of them had relocated to the caves because they promised better security, and easier access to the boar, than at the beach. But after the cave-in, it didn't seem like anywhere on this island was completely safe. Kinda' like being anywhere near him after that lottery win.
"He was trying to help Shannon," he added, pointing out the blonde girl sitting on a nearby rock. "Her brother, Boone, says she's got asthma but ran out of medicine or something. That jackass Sawyer probably has it. He's got everyone else's stuff that isn't nailed down."

"Yeah, but you don't need to go far to run into something...bad."
Seb nodded. The wisdom of spending so much time in the jungle was something he found it hard not to question. None of them knew what the tree-shaking entity was or why it sounded like an ageing rollercoaster but one thing Seb did know was that it didn't seem to be coming near the beach. Pitching up camp in its territory seemed like a surefire way of inviting trouble.
In his mind, Seb briefly ran through a hypothetical therapy session between himself and a fictitious client shrouded in darkness, their face and identifying features obscured by shadow.
Seb: "What made you decide to set up camp in the jungle?"
Client: "Being close to water...more shade and shelter..."
Seb: "You felt less exposed..."
Client: "Exactly."
Seb: "Even if it meant being closer to whatever lives in the jungle?"
Client: "Whatever lives in the jungle is surely a mere beast. It's the beast inside the other people who survived the crash that I fear."
Seb: "You think they'll turn on you?"
Client: "Don't you? Strip away their rules and laws, put them in a desperate situation away from the conventions of society, and those civilised people will tear each other apart. A beast's behaviour can be predicted. A desperate person's cannot..."
"He was trying to help Shannon. Her brother, Boone, says she's got asthma but ran out of medicine or something. That jackass Sawyer probably has it. He's got everyone else's stuff that isn't nailed down."
As quickly as it had appeared, Seb's internal conversation disappeared. He looked over at the blonde woman Hurley was indicating. She looked about a minute away from having a panic attack.
"The hillbilly with the Worzel Gummidge hair? Great." Seb sighed. He'd not interacted with Sawyer yet but he'd noticed his behaviour. It was impossible not to. The guy seemed to thrive off being the centre of attention and acting like a complete asshole seemed to be his sole party trick. "Has anyone tried getting her medication back from him yet?"

"The hillbilly with the Worzel Gummidge hair? Great. Has anyone tried getting her medication back from him yet?"
"Uh, yeah. Boone did," Hurley replied. "That's why he looks like he went ten rounds with Rocky." He nodded toward the bloodied and beaten man still sitting beside Shannon. "But since you got that accent like a Bond villain, you can give it a shot."
He shrugged and went back to folding a pile of clothes. Words didn't seem to persuade Sawyer, nor did money or basic human compassion or the threat of violence so he wasn't sure what Jack was hoping to accomplish. He paused to ask Seb, "And Worzel who?"

"Uh, yeah. Boone did. That's why he looks like he went ten rounds with Rocky."
Seb looked at him and felt a rush of empathy followed by a stab of anger. The poor guy really did look a mess. It brought back memories of the domestic abuse clients he'd helped. People tended to think that trauma meant surviving a bomb blast or having limbs blown off in foreign conflicts but a lot of the trauma clients he'd seen over the years had been people - women mostly, but increasingly men as well - whose partners thought it was acceptable to let their fists do the talking. People like Sawyer really got under his skin. He'd seen the damage they could cause and while he tried not to generalise, people like that rarely changed, nor were they ever truly sorry for their actions. They were usually just sorry that they'd been caught.
"But since you got that accent like a Bond villain, you can give it a shot."
"Sure thing, I'll just nip home and get my giant interrogation laser and then I'll be all set" Seb replied dryly.
"And Worzel who?"
Seb looked up again. "Worzel...ah, don't worry about it. Kids character from when I was growing up. Scarecrow with really bad straw hair. Probably a lot nicer to be stuck on an island with than Sawyer Balboa." Seb smiled and went back to filling up the bottles before standing and bringing one over to the man Gwen was talking to...Sayid, he thought his name was.
"Here you go. It's not as effective as a good whisky but it's the best I've got right now" he said, holding out the bottle with an apologetic shrug.

"Hi," "Kate told me you'd been hurt. I hope it's nothing serious. We can't have you and Jack on the injured reserve list."
Sayid glanced at the woman who had come to check in on him. He had recognized the woman and Sayid had seen her around the camp but had been wrapped up in his mission as of late so he unfortunately did not have much time to socialize and make new acquaintances these days.
"Just a little blow to the head, but nothing major. Thanks." Sayid nodded at the woman, and even though he did not know her well he acknowledged that he was thankful for her concern.
"Have you had any luck with the transceiver?"
Sayid's head injury throbbed just slightly more, how could he forget the dreaded conversation he had been having with Jack before his hands had become busy. Sayid and Jack still weren`t sure what exactly to tell the others, Sayid just knew that he couldn`t send people into a frenzy when they were expecting a rescue.
"We ran into a bit of a ... slight complication. But it`s being taken care of, so no need to worry." Sayid said as assuring as he could, knowing that the actual case was the opposite. There was reason to worry - there seemed to be a traitor among them. But he couldn't have them have knowledge of that, not until Sayid was able to get to the bottom of things.

"We ran into a bit of a ... slight complication. But it`s being taken care of, so no need to worry."
Gwen nodded, mildly comforted that he wasn't seriously injured and was still committed to the task of getting the transceiver working. "I'm afraid that's easier said than done," she replied, "but you'll let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
"Here you go. It's not as effective as a good whisky but it's the best I've got right now"
She looked up and smiled at her traveling companion as he offered a drink to Sayid. "This is Seb," she explained. "He had the misfortune of getting drafted to help bring water back to the beach. And he only complained for about a third of the way here." In truth, his easy humor in the face of Stu's surliness had been welcome. Gwen got back to her feet and gave him a gentle nudge in the ribs with her elbow. "We should get back to work," she advised, heading back toward the waterfall.
"Actually, have you seen Heidi?" she inquired, pausing to turn back to Sayid. "Pretty girl, about my age, long curly hair. Kate said she spent the night here, but she still wasn't at the beach this morning. That doesn't seem like her."

Seb found Gwen’s smile more disarming than the elbow in his ribs – it seemed to make her eyes light up and brought a genuine sweetness to her face with just a touch of shyness. There was a warmth to it that momentarily stopped him in his tracks. Then she asked about a woman who seemed to be missing and Seb felt anxiety creeping in as he remembered Hurley’s words…“you don't need to go far to run into something...bad.” Their tree-shaking island neighbour hadn’t been heard from for a while but that didn’t rule out the possibility that something else could have happened to her…
