Chapter five: Second night on the Island/start of the hike
Hope who has walks up to Jack, Ana Lucia and Edward Mars so quietly that Jack nor Ana Lucia had heard Hope's come up behind them. Hope notice that Edward Mars is still out cold, so she stand there behind Jack and Ana Lucia for a few minute watching Jack using the portable ultrasound to look for Internal bleeding and Ana Lucia watching Jack. Hope also listens to what Jack and her sisters-in-law are talking about.
"I am not seeing any internal bleeding, which is a good thing."
"Jack's you do not sound confident when you say that, are you just trying to keep me for worry about Edward Mars by telling me there is no internal bleeding when there is internal bleeding?"
"I am not just trying to keep you for worrying about him Ana Lucia's, I see no Internal bleeding with the ultrasound, but that does not mean that there isn't any internal bleeding, ultrasound can only see so much. I would feel a lot better if I could send him for a CT, which images would give me a lot better view."
"That is not going to be happening, at lest not till we get rescued! Jack, Edward Mars is burning up!"
"I know, But I have done what I can for now because all of the prescribed medicines that I found, so for is for ear infection, depression, strep throats and these medicines will not help Edward Mars and also the few different types of over the counter pain/ fever reduce that I was able to found is not helping to reduces his fever either."
"There has to be something you can do for him Jack?"
"Not till I found some stronger prescribe medicines and pain/fever reduces there is anything more that I can do for him?"
"You could remove the piece of plane and see if that help?"
"I will if help has not come by tomorrow afternoon, But for now I need to look for strong prescribes medicines, antibiotic and pain/fever reduce!"
"I can help you with that Jack, we should check the fuselage."
Jack and Ana Lucia turn around and look up at Hope, at the sometime she specks to them. Jack is looking at Hope with a look of surprise on his face and Ana Lucia's is just smiling at her sister-in-law, because she knows that Hope is great at sneaking up on people. Jack stops looking at Hope's and look back over at Ana Lucia and then back at Hope.
"Hope how long have you been standing there? And I will do that tomorrow, if we do not found any in the unclaimed luggages on the beach and in the claimed luggages, so we have to ask the people who found there luggages if they have any prescribes medicines and pain/fever reduces."
"I have been standing here for a few minutes now. Also Sayid says he will have the transceiver fixes by this evening and tomorrow morning Sayid and I are going on a hike to higher ground to see if will can get a signal. Sayid did ask me to see if you would come with us Ana Lucia?"
" Yes I will come."
"I do not know Ana Lucia and Hope, I do not think that the two of you should go on a hike and I do not think Sayid should go either!"
" We are going on the hike Jack's and there is nothing you can say to stop us!
"But there something out there that could kill you!"
"Jack, Hope and I have handguns, so we can defend our self."
"What about Sayid he does not have a gun?"
It because really quiet after Jack stop talking, because Hope has started looking around really fast to make sure no one beside, Edward, Jack and Ana Lucia are around and then she walks up beside Jack. She looks down at Edward Mars for a few seconds and then looks back up at Jack and her sister-in-law. Jack is run his hands through his hair wishing someone would speck up and break the silence.
"I get that cover I have four more sig handguns and boxes of 9mm bullets in my lock black Halliburton case."
"Ok Hope, But I am not going to be able to come. I need to stay close to Edward, but Hope's have Ana Lucia carry you backpack, because as a doctor I am telling you that I do not want you to carry it."
"Fine, Ana Lucia and I will just put our things in one backpack. We should get starts' look for any prescribe medicines and antibiotic and pain/fever reduces."
"Hope's I want you to check Sawyer bags, to see what he has found and if he has found any prescribes medicines and pain/fever reduces and if he did take them take them out of his stuff and give them to me!"
"Ok, Jack."
"Ana Lucia will you help me check the unclaimed luggages and ask the people who have they luggages if they have any prescribe medicine and pain/fever reduces?"
"Sure."
Meanwhile farther down the beach Kate is walking down the beach after washing up and changes into a pair of clean Jeans and an orange shirt, is now drying her clean hair in a towel she has found. She sees Sayid and starts walking towards him. Sayid has just stand up and has the transceiver in his hand walks towards Kate and smiles at her.
"Did you finish fixing the transceiver Sayid?"
"Yeah Kate, I have finished fixing the plane transceiver and tomorrow Hope, me and maybe Ana Lucia is going on a hike to higher ground to see if we can get a signal, do you want to come, Kate?"
"Yeah, I would love to come."
"Good, I need to go check the signal fires and gather so more fire wood. I am also going to pick some more fruit for everyone to eat you want to help me?"
"Maybe a little later, right now I going to go found Jack and see how Edward Mars is doing?
"That fine."
Sayid and Kate's walks away from each other, at the sometime Hope found Sawyer and he is laying on section of the beach away from everyone else. Hope slowly and quietly walks toward Sawyer and sees that he is asleep. Hope sees Sawyer has his hands around the duffle bag handler and strap, but that does not bother her. Hope quietly walks over to the bags and kneels down in front of the bag. Hope set her backpack down that she was carrying next to her and unzips it. She then unzips the duffle bag and looks up to make sure that Sawyer is still a sleep, which he is. Hope then start going through the bag and see a prescription bottle of Vicodin along with one for oxycontin. Hope's grabs the Vicodin and Oxycontin bottle out of the duffle bag, she then puts the two bottles into her backpack. Hope also founds two Asthma inhalers with Shannon's name on them and Hope's puts the inhalers into her backpack to. She goes back to looking in the duffle bag and finds bottles of Duricef (Gram positive infections), Cleocin (some gram positive cover and gram negative covers), Trobicin (Gonorrhea), Ampicillin, penicillin and Omnicef (gram negative and reduced gram positive covers) She put the six bottles into her backpack and takes one last look in the duffle bag to make sure she has not miss anything that Jack might be able to use. Hope does not see anything that Jack might be able to use, so she zips the duffle bag up and then zips her backpack up. Hope's stand up and then pick up her backpack and sling it over her right shoulder. She has just start to walk away from Sawyer when he starts to move, Hope stops walking and looks towards Sawyer and sees that he has just roll over, but is still asleep. Hope walks away from Sawyer quietly, so she does not wake him up and at the sometime she is looking around for Shannon, Jack and Ana Lucia. The first person Hope's see is Shannon and she is laying on the beach on top of a pink beach towel. Hope's also notice that Shannon is wearing a purple bikini and her eyes are close, Hope's walks up to Shannon and kneel down next to her. She unzips her backpack and takes out Shannon two Asthma inhalers and then she rezips her backpack.
"Shannon it Hope, I found two items that belong to you and can we talk?"
"Sure."
Shannon set up and see Hope's is holding two Asthma inhalers in her hands. Hope hands the two Asthma inhalers to Shannon, She looks down at the inhalers and she sees that both the inhalers have her first and last names on them. Shannon looks up at Hope's and sees that Hope's does not have her step-brother luggages.
"Hope if you found my extra Asthma inhalers did you found my step-brother luggages too?"
"No."
"Then where did you found my inhalers?"
"Jack ask me to check the duffle bag Sawyer, been putting the items he been taking out of luggages that has not be claimed to see if he taken any prescribe medicines, antibiotics and pain/fever reduces he might be able to use on Edward Mars and the other people that was injury in the crash and to bring it back to him and as I was searches the duffle bag I found your Asthma Inhalers and taken them too and then i bring the inhalers over to you."
"Thanks."
"You can tell your brother that Sawyer had the inhalers, but give me sometime to found Jack that way I can give him the prescribe medicines, antibiotics and pain/fever reduces I found in his bag."
"Ok, I wait to tell my Boone till this evening."
"Great that will give me enough time to found Jack and give him the prescribed medicines, antibiotics and the pain and fever reduces."
Hope's stands back up and she picks her backpack up and sling it onto her right shoulder and then starts walking down the beach looking for Jack and Ana Lucia's again. She sees Jack and Ana Lucia talking to Rose and slower walks over to the three of them. Hope is also listening to Rose, Jack and Ana Lucia talk and sees Rose hand Jack some pill bottles and Jack looks down at the bottles and see Rose first and last names on the bottles and what each prescribes bottles has in it.
"Rose's what are you taking these prescribes for?"
"To control the pain I am in, because I am dying of terminal cancer!"
"I cannot take these Rose, because you will be in too much pain without them!"
"Take them I have not had to take them since my last dose before the flight take off, since the crash I have been pain free, I have not felt this good since before I relapse."
"OK I take them, but let me know if the pain comes back and you need a dose of each."
"Ok, but I am sure I won't need any."
Just then Hope's walks up to Rose, Ana Lucia and Jack and the three of them look up at Hope's, who is unzip her backpack and has a smile on her face. The three of them smile at Hope when she takes out the seven bottles of pills. Jack 's take one of the bottle from Hope and look at the prescribed bottle label (to see if it a pain, antibiotic or other medications, but not at the name of the person that the prescribed bottle belongs to)and he sees it is a bottle of Vicodin. Jack's throws the first bottle into the backpack that is in front of his foot. Hope's hands a second pill bottle to Jack and Jack sees that this one has Omnicef in it, after he put that bottle of pills into his backpack, Hope's hands Jack's a third bottle of pills and Jack sees this one has Ampicillin in the bottle. Hope then hand him four bottles of pills and one is a bottle of Penicillin, the second bottle of pills is Duricef, Jack's see the third bottle is Trobicin. Jack throws the first three of the bottles into his backpack and then looks at the fourth bottle and see it has Cleocin in it.
"I should have had you check Sawyer stuff sooner, because Duricef, Omnicef and Cleocin along with Vicodin could help me. I going to have to try and found out if the person that the bottle of Trobicin belongs to survived the crash, because they will need they prescribe back, so they can finish's it. I will keep the bottles of Penicillin and Ampicillin just in case we need them."
"But if you do not need the Penicillin and Ampicillin shouldn't you give them back to whom they belong to so they can finish taking them?"
"I would if I could, but I did look at the names of the two people these to prescribes belong to and the Ampicillin belonged to the co-pilot and the penicillin belong to one of the flight attendants from the flight and she is not on the beach, so I believe that she is dead or somewhere else on the island."
"That is a good reason not to give both prescribes back to whom there belongs to?"
" Hope's do you want to join Ana Lucia and I in ask people who found their luggages if they have any medications that could help me with Edward Mars or the other injury survives?"
"NO, I am going finish going through the large box of baby stuff that Claire start going through for me and make sure everything I need for when the baby comes is out, incases rescues has not come before I go into labor Jack."
"That fine, Hope. Ana Lucia and I can do it on our own."
"Actually Jack, I should really go hunting and found Hope and Claire something to eat for dinner?"
"They can eat the fish, sea urchin and mussels, Sun and Jin are cooking, Ana Lucia!"
"No, they can't Hope allergic to fish, sea urchins and mussels and Claire how to watch the amount of fish, sea urchins and mussels that she eat a week and she already eat the amount she allowed to have for this week."
"Ok, but be very careful Ana Lucia, I don't want you or anyone else to get injury."
"I will be careful Jack."
Ana Lucia and Hope's walk away from Rose and Jack and walk back to the shelter that Hope, Brianna and she share. Ana Lucia's grab the spear that she made early that afternoon and then walks out of the shelter, fallowed by Izzy, Idzi. Hope's watch her friend/ sister-in-law along with her two dogs walks into the jungle, when Hope cannot see Ana Lucia's any more she walks over to the large open box and reaches into the box. At the sometime Claire and Brianna walks over to Hope.
"Hope's do you want any help going through the baby stuff?"
" Sure Claire, do you want to help to Brianna?"
" Sure Hope."
"Brianna, how about you going through the diaper bag, because I throw a lot of different things in there some of them could be useful if I have the baby before rescues come." Claire how about you go through the box that say Hope Cortez more baby stuff."
"Ok"
Brianna grabs the diaper bag and then takes a set on the make shift bed on the left. Claire takes a set on Brianna right side and then open up the box that on top of the box that has the car seat in it. Claire takes a pack of socks and onesies out of the box. She set the two items on the make shift bed next to her and then goes back to look through the box, wishing that she has onesies, socks and all the other baby items for her son. Hope and Claire look over at Brianna who has just taking out digital pacifier thermometer and set it next to the reusable cloth diapers.
" Hope did you buy all this baby stuff before leaving Australia?"
"No Claire, the female police offices and CSI that I work with, in Australia threw me a baby shower on the nineteenth of this month."
" Did Ana Lucia go to your baby shower Hope?"
" Yes, She come to my baby shower Brianna."
Claire pulls out three pink photo frames out the box she is going through and sees the first frame says I love across the top and my aunt along the bottom of the photo frame. Claire notices the second photo frame say I love across the top and my Daddy along the bottom of the photo frame. She notices the last pink frame say I love across the top and my grandma across the bottom of the frame. Meanwhile in the jungle Ana Lucia's who has been looking for animals to kill for Claire and Hope dinner, keeps getting the feeling that she is being watch, even Izzy and Idzi seems to sense something, because they seem to be on edges. Just then Ana Lucia sees a wild boar and know that the spear would not work, so she pull the 9mm sig out of the back of her jeans. Ana Lucia's point her handgun and wait for a perfcet shoot and when she gets one, she fires the gun and hits the boar perfectly in the shoulder area and the boar drops to the ground dead. Ana Lucia walks over to the boar thinking to herself I cannot believe that it only took one shoot I thought for sure it would have taken two shoots at lest. She just reached the boar and is kneeling down next to the Aminal to take a closer look, when Locke walks out from behind a tree and walks over to her.
"I knew that I was being watch, are you spy on me Locke?"
"No, I was just out hunting like you are Ana Lucia but I was going to kill the boar with a hunting knife, not with a gun!"
"Can you help me take the boar back to camp and seeing that you have a knife would you mind preparing the boar to cook for Hope, Claire, Brianna and I to cook and if you help us you are welcome to eat some too."
" Sure I will help the four of you and I think the boar is big enough that it can be shared with the whole camp, so they have more too chosen from then just fish, sea urchin and mussels."
" Yeah I think you are right about there being enough to share with the whole camp Locke."
Ana Lucia stands up and Locke picks up the boar and puts it over his shoulders, at the sometime Ana Lucia puts her gun away. Ana Lucia, Locke and the two dogs then walk back to the beach. Once back at the beach camp Locke gets right to working on preparing the boar and Ana Lucia goes and gets a fire starting near Hope, Brianna and her shelter.
Three hours later the whole camp, beside Edward Mars is setting around eating a good dinner, which include fish, sea urchin, mussels, boar and fruit that Sayid picked for everyone to eat. After dinner Ana Lucia, Hope, Kate, Brianna and Sayid brush they tooth and then get ready for bed. When Sawyer push Boone and Shannon down in front of Hope, Ana Lucia and Brianna shelter and he then walks over to Hope and stops right in front of her.
"What wrong Sawyer?"
"These two takes my stuff!"
"It not your stuff Sawyer the Asthma Inhalers are mine and even have my name on them."
"Beside they did not take your stuff Sawyer, Jack had me search your bag for any prescribes medicines and pain/fever reduces that he could be you on Edward Mars and the other injury crash survives and I give Shannon back her Inhalers."
"So it you That I should start a fight with then and not Shannon or Boone?"
"Yes, but you not going to Sawyer!'
"Oh yes I am Hope, because you had no right to go through my stuff!"
"Say the guy going through all the suitcases since we crash yesterday!"
"Stay out of this Ana!"
"I will not stay out of this Sawyer and do not call me Ana the only one allowed to call me Ana is mine family, friends and co-workers and you are none of these!"
"James stop Hope only did what Jack asks her too, so he can try to save the US Marshal life. Beside you should not be taking things that don't belong to you that what get you kick out of you aunts house when you turn eighteen, at lest that what my mom told me!"
"You mother Ann would know that seeing that it was her mom and dad that kick me out. Ok I will not pick a fight with anyone tonight and How is your grandma Marie?"
"Good, she was visit us in Los Angelus till the day I left for Australia she fly home to Atlanta the same day that I fly to Australia."
"Good to hear she is doing good, it been a year and two month since my uncle and you grandfather pass away right?"
"Right it has, I am getting tried I think that going to make my bed up and then lay down."
"Ok, I will see you tomorrow."
"Good night James."
"Good night Brianna."
Sawyer walks away leaving Boone and Shannon behind on the spot on the sand that he push them down at. Hope and Ana Lucia walk over and help Boone and Shannon up. Then two of them smile at Hope and Ana Lucia. The step sister and step brother then walk back over to the area they are sleep at. Hope and Ana Lucia closes the flaps to their shelter and found that Brianna has already went to sleep. Ana Lucia and Hope lay down and the two of them fall right to sleep. Sayid and Kate finish making up their make shift beds next to Hope, Ana Lucia and Brianna shelter and then they go to bed. Jack makes sure the signal fires are going strong as the rest of the camp slower starts settling down for the night. After he checks all of the signal fires' Jack goes and checks on Edward Mars and finds that Edward is not getting any better. Jack Changes Edward bandages and then goes to bed himself.
Ana Lucia and Brianna get wakening up early then either of them want to, because Hope gets out of bed and walks over to the flap on the right-hand side of the shelter and opens it up. Brianna and Ana Lucia put they hands over their eyes to block out the sun.
"Hope's where are you going?"
"I am going to go use the bathroom and then get a papaya, banana, passion fruit and a Orange to eat for breakfast because I am Starving Ana Lucia!"
" Oh, I guess that I will get up too then, what about you Brianna?"
" I will get up too, then and I will go and eat something. Then after I finish eating I will get a workout in, because I need to stay in shape."
Hope walks out of the shelter as Brianna and Ana Lucia gets out of bed. Five minutes later Hope joins Brianna, Ana Lucia, Kate and Sayid who are setting on the beach eating fruit for breakfast and watching the waves. Brianna the first to finish eating and she get up and walk down the beach and stop walking about five feet away from Sayid, Ana Lucia, Hope and Kate. Hope, Kate, Ana Lucia and Sayid stop watching the waves when they finish eating and look over at Brianna, which just happen to be at the sometime that she finishes warm up. Brianna then starts to run down the beach and then does a roundoff into a back handspring into an Arabian double front and sticks the landing.
" That was amazing, Brianna is a talent gymnast."
"Yes Kate, Brianna is very talent, you should have seen her compete on the balance beam, Uneven bars, vault and floor at the Aussie cup, she did perfcet routines on all four events."
"Hope did Brianna do that skill at the Aussie cup?"
"Yes she did Sayid on the floor exercise, it was her opening tumbling pass."
"Ana Lucia, Kate and Hope we should get our backpacks and water bottles filled then get going on our hike."
"Ok Sayid."
Sayid helps Hope up as Kate and Ana Lucia stands up. Meanwhile across the beach Jack is setting up the medical shelter to get it ready to move Edward Mars into after he removes the piece of plane. Jack has just started to go through the surgical kit that Ana Lucia and Hope found the first day on the Island when Hurley comes running into the shelter. Jack looks up at Hurley who is bent over trying to catch his breath.
"Hurley are Hope or Claire in labor?"
"No"
" Then why did you come running into the shelter for?"
" Edward Mars has come to Jack and he is in a lot of pain."
"Was he still a wake when you left him Hurley?"
"No, but before he passes out from the pain he said that Kate is danger and was his and Hope prisoner."
"He in a lot of pain Hurley and Edward probably dose not know what he is saying."
"Jack, he a US Marshal, I am sure he knows what he is talking about!"
"Hope or Ana Lucia has not said anything to me about Kate being the warrant fugitive."
"You should go check on him Jack!"
"I will Hurley."
"Ok, I am coming with you."
Jack and Hurley walk out of the medical shelter and over to Edward Mars. At the sometime Kate, Ana Lucia, Hope, Sayid and Charlie who has decided to join the three ladies and Sayid have just walked past Sawyer who is set on plane wreckage reading a letter and listen to what Kate, Ana Lucia, Hope, Charlie and Sayid are saying as they walk towards the woods. Sawyer folds the letter up and puts it back into the envelopes. He put the letter into her back jean packet and then grabs her backpack and slower starts to walk into the woods after Charlie, Sayid, Hope, Ana Lucia and Kate.
