Chapter 2

Riley woke up to the sound of arguing voices outside of the tent. She quickly sat up and peeked out through the door flaps of the tent. She saw Sawyer arguing with a woman with brown, curly hair. They weren't exactly hiding the matter either. She wasn't sure what they were arguing over but, it was getting on her nerves

"Doc. said we had to check on her," Sawyer said to the woman rudely.

"Well if you had remembered to put the cap back on the aspirin then, we wouldn't be having this conversation," the women yelled.

"Look Freckles," Sawyer said, "you talk to the girl and I'll go get some more aspirin, all right?" Before the women could answer, Sawyer stomped off muttering something under his breath.

The woman walked into the tent and smiled at Riley. "Hi, my name's Kate," She said acting like the whole argument with Sawyer never happened.

Riley smiled back at Kate. "I'm Riley," she said plainly.

"Are you all right?" Kate asked. She noticed that Riley looked really young, maybe 18 or so.

"I'm fine, I don't remember what happened though," Riley said looking at the door as Sawyer walked in.

Sawyer tossed the pills at Kate. "Are ya' happy?" He asked sarcastically.

Kate rolled her eyes at Sawyers remarks. "Here," she said, "Jack said you would probably be in some pain after your fall." She handed her a pill and some water.

Riley nodded, she had a headache since she woke up. She took the pill and water from Kate and quickly took it. She looked up at Sawyer, but he was kinda cute. She shook her head, no, but he was older then her. She had learned from experience that older men were bad news.

Sawyer's eyes met Riley's, but he quickly looked away. Was she checking him out? She was pretty. What was he thinking? She was just a kid.

Kate cleared her throat noticing the two of them eyeing each other. She hated to admit it but she was kind of jealous. There was nothing to be jealous over. She couldn't choose between Sawyer and Jack. She thought about it all the time. Jack dissevered better then her. Then again, she dissevered better then Sawyer.

Kate jumped slightly as Jack came barging into the tent. He glared at Riley. "Get up," He demanded.

"Jack, what's wrong?" Kate asked, urgency slipping into her voice.

"Hurley found his list of the people that were on the plane," Jack paused, "there wasn't a Riley on the list."
