Carter walked next to Abby, keeping his eyes on the ground, to save being blinded by the sun reflecting on the sand. He, Abby and Luka had been walking for a while, looking for anything that would be useful. Before they had left, they had found a stream near to where the others where setting up camp, so they had access to fresh water. Carter and the other two were looking to see if anything had drifted from the plane and made it to the island.
Carter smiled as Luka started hopping slightly and quickly darted into the surf to cool his feet.
"How long have we been gone?" He asked after checking his watch for the hundredth time, only to remember that it had stopped after being submerged. Luka turned around and squinted up at the sun.
"About and hour. I think if go on for another half hour, then go back."
"Either that or we walk around the island and get back to where we started." Said Abby. "Can we go for a swim or something, I'm getting hot?" They all stopped walking.
"May as well," Shrugged Carter as Luka nodded.
"Good." Said Abby, pulling off her shoes. Carter followed suit, sitting down on the sand and pulling off his socks and trainers. Over in the surf, Luka pulled off the shirt he hadn't bothered to do up, and undid the machete belt, tossing them onto the sand near Abby.
Abby pulled off her shirt to reveal a vest underneath as a machete thudded into the sand beside her. Looking up, she saw Luka standing in the water half dressed. He did actually have a very nice figure, well toned but not all bulging muscles. She whistled at him.
"Very nice Dr Kovac." She smiled, standing up and pulling off her trousers. She was wearing a pair of shorts underneath, as she and Susan had been desperate to get the last of the sun while waiting to leave the day before.
"Not looking too bad yourself." He grinned in return. Abby turned around and pulled Carter to his feet. He pulled of his t-shirt and started to follow her towards the sea. Carter didn't have a bad body either, not as toned as Luka's, but nothing to be ashamed of.
"Come on. If I'm stranded on an island with my two favourite boys, I'm gonna enjoy it."
"Come on in." Shouted Luka from the water, floating on the surface, "The waters great."
Abby smiled and ran forward into the sea. The water splashed up her legs as she reached the surf and she kept running, somewhat impeded by the rising level of water. As the water reached her waist, she took a breath and dived into the beautiful, clear sea. The water blissfully cool and refreshing, and she felt it ripple and swirl against her body. She curved upwards broke through the surface, rivulets of water dripping from her hair and down her face.
"Kinda makes up for having so little time on the beach." Said Carter, crouching down so the water covered his shoulders.
"Tell me about it." Abby replied, kneeling down in the soft sand that covered seabed.
"You know if there's weather like this, I really don't mind if we don't get found for a while." Said Luka, floating in the water.
"I totally agree." Abby muttered, letting her head fall back into the water. "But Weaver's gonna have our asses when we get back."
