"He's alive." Jack started cutting Sawyer's bonds. "I need to get him to the hatch. Jin, please help."
Jack hooked his arms under Sawyer's shoulders while Jin lifted Sawyer's knees and off they went into the jungle.
Rebekah, meanwhile, was digging through Sawyer's stash. To her great joy she found 4 boxes of condoms. She stood up and turned to face Sayid. He didn't look very mirthful.
"That was rash."
"He had to hurt."
"You could have killed him!"
"Who cares! He probably deserves the death penalty anyway. I doubt he'll be satisfied until he at least tries to rape every woman on this island!" Rebekah's eyes burned with rage.
Sayid shook his head. "We should not decide other's fate. And you would not want what might have happened on your conscience, trust me. And, that was not the only rash thing you've done. I should have gone to Sawyer, not you."
Rebekah opened her mouth, but nothing came out, so she shut it. Realization flooded her, realization of how stupid she'd been. Overwhelmed with shame and guilt, she hung her head and fell to her knees while a flood of tears broke loose and flowed free.
"I'm so sorry…" she choked out.
Sayid kneeled in front of her and lifted her head so she was looking into his face. "Listen… I just don't want anything to hurt you. I…" his voice faltered, and tears came to his eyes as well, "I just don't know what I would do if I lost you. I can't live through any more losses like that."
Rebekah leaned forward and buried her face in Sayid's chest. Sobs wracked her body. Sayid stroked her back soothingly. Finally, Rebekah stilled and with a sniffle and swipe at her nose, leaned back and stared into his tear stained eyes with her own.
Sayid stood, gently pulling her with him.
"Come, let's get you cleaned up."
