Chapter 2: Formalities
Kevin realized he was completely isolated from all of the other castaways, aside from the stunningly lovely Kate. He figured if it was time to introduce himself, now would be a good time. After all, he could be gone any second. The stakes were high and he wasn't about to take any chances.
Kate said I was being stitched up… and I'm sure she wasn't the one who did it, he thought. Maybe I should go and find the person who did.
Speak of the devil, a man walked by. He called out to him. "What was your name?" the man asked.
Kevin shook his head and turned to face the man. "My name's Kevin," he replied.
The man nodded.
"Kevin." Pointing to him with a water bottle in hand, he asked,
"How's the neck doing?"
Kevin put a hand to where the
stitches were. "Good, thanks."
The man nodded again and smiled.
"You the guy who stitched me up?" asked Kevin.
"Yeah, I am."
"What's your name?"
"Jack."
"Ah. You were a doctor before the crash."
"It would appear so," he said with a little chuckle. "I still am."
The two men shared a laugh. At least Kevin wasn't feeling alienated any more.
"Hey," continued Jack. "You want to help me out?"
"Sure, what do you need?"
"I'm trying to find all the water bottles and…"
But before he could continue, he was interrupted abruptly by a loud, crashing noise, followed by howls and groans. Trees were falling and everyone's attention was drawn to the epicenter of this craziness. Looks like there were monsters to socialize with on this island as well.
