dusty: it is getting pretty dark out here*he sees theresa shivering*...and cold.
frank:hey you*pointing to theresa* go fetch some fire wood so we can start a fire*
angie:she has a name ya know!
kim:yeah and never talk to her like that again!
dusty looks to frank then to theresa with a guilty look on his face.
theresa:alright, there's no need to get in an argument about the situation.
as she gets up and heads toward the trees swaying in the cold freezing wind, dusty drops what he is doing and decides to follow her.
as she is walking along by herself, or so she thinks, she is talking to herself, just getting all her frustrations out when she thinks noone can hear them. as she talks out her thoughts she stares up at the beautiful sparkling stars shining above her shadowed face, and stops right there, not knowing she stopped.
wow! it has always been a wonder of how they stay up in the sky, and look so tiny, yet brighten up the whole sky, she says in a hushing kind of voice.
dusty:you know, they arent really so tiny*a voice comes out of nowhere*
theresa gasps as he walks up to her.
theresa: where did you come from?
dusty:what a question...where did i come from? well when my mother and father were married--
theresa:*eyes widening* thats not what i meant! have you been following me this whole time?
dusty: well......
theresa:how dare you?!
dusty:i just thought you might need help with the fire wood, thats all
theresa: i dont need any help thank you very much! im quite capable of getting simple logs of fire wood!
dusty: oh sure
theresa: i can! you watch me!
dusty:oh go ahead i havent had my laugh for today!
theresa: thats funny, you always came across as uncheerfull type always. i'll bet you never laugh.
with that said, she walks over to a small tree and takes that smaller version of a machette that frank gave her. (i know where in the world did we get another machette from in the jungle?...in our first aid kit, heehee!)
she raises it over her head and swings it toward the middle of the narrow trunk of the tree. it doesnt break, let alone budge. she takes a couple more wacks at it, but nothing happens. dusty is standing afar watching this, trying not to burst out in laughter.
theresa: oh, this stupid machette!
dusty comes over to her, and with each step she takes a step back, being afraid of what he is out to do.
dusty: that isnt the way to cut down a tree....this is how to do it. come here
theresa:why?
dusty: just come here!!
theresa: okay, stop raising your voice like that*although she hesitates with each step movng toward him, she finds herself growing less and less afraid of his presence.*
dusty:are you left of right handed?
theresa: left
dusty:okay, put the machette in your left hand then, and bend down slightly, and you want to chop it from the bottomwith the blade facing down toward the soil, cutting it diagonally.
he holds her left arm bending over with her, practicing it in the air close to the tree, then stands up suddenly noticing this is making her uncomfortable.
dusty: now you try
theresa bends down slightly in the position he showed her and did everything he said to do, and the tree cut, falling to the ground.
dusty: look out!*he pulls her out of the way making the tree only scraping her arm as it came down next to her.
theresa:im just fine!*as she pushes him away and holds the scrape on her arm tightly because of the stinging*

Back at camp, with the bright sun setting down behind the crystal blue waters -- out of sight--, not one person is free to sit around and 'waste the light'. With Angie gathering tall palm leaves, previously cut down by Frank a couple hours ago, along the jungle's edge, Kim is told to dig up some dirt then pack it into the sand for the bottom of their beds so sand bugs don't crawl onto them and bite during the night. She takes a large branch from the pile and drops it upon the soil, laying down upon one of the beds to catch her breath and relax her tense muscles for a few moments. While Sam chops down bamboo for the body of the beds, he notices Kim laying down on the job and walks over to her. "Why aren't you helping?" He asks angrily, his tone frustrated, though he fights the urge to take a rest himself. "I need to take a break -- just for a moment." Kim sighs, closing her eyes and massaging her neck. Without even the slightest bit of difficulty, Sam grabs her by the arm and immediately pulls her back onto her feet, facing him. She looks deep into his eyes and gives him a dirty scowl, combating an impulse to spit in his eye. She releases herself from his grip forcefully and continues with her assignment. Sam watches her for a few moments then, by cleverly avoiding his own duty, walks over to Frank who's filleting the fish. "They're all slackers -- just snobby little city girls is all." Frank shakes his head in disgust. Though all the while Sam smiles wanly, for he's beginning to take an interest in her. But why? Could it be for the fact that she's able to hold her own and not become intimidated by his empty threats; or could it possibly be because he's simply met his match -- a woman who's tough, hardworking and strong; yet subtly beautiful, quiet (when need-be) and dare he think...sweet? It's probably the lack of sleep mixed with physical exhaustion that's making me think such bizarre thoughts about the woman I, only 24 hours ago, planned to murder. He explains to himself with as much logic as he can muster.

*Angie drug the leaves over to where the hut frame was and she saw Frank sitting by the fire cooking the fish.* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture5-4.jpg" src=" Angie: I'll finish this, you go work on the hut. Frank: Look who's giving orders now! *he said sarcastically* Angie: You're taller than me so it only makes sense that you finish the roof. Frank: Alright, alright. *he said as he got up and went back to work on the hut* Theresa: Are we gonna have to sleep in the same hut as them? *she asked Angie as she sat down next to her by the fire* Angie: At least for tonight. Maybe tomorrow we can build our own hut. *After dinner they were all so tired from the day's work they quickly fell asleep. The next morning the girls woke up to find themselves alone in the hut. Venturing outside they found the men standing beneath one of the palm trees arguing with each other.* Dusty: I don't even like coconuts. Sam: It doesn't matter if you like 'em or not we need food and we can drink the milk too. Kim: What's the problem? Frank: We need to get those coconuts. Theresa: Well then just go do it. *she said gesturing up at the tree* Dusty: If it's so easy then you just go do it. Angie: Oh no this is clearly man's work. *She said smiling* Why don't you go Frank? Oh wait maybe you should let one of the younger men do it instead. *She said just trying to taunt him. He just glared at her.* Sam: Look I'll do it. *After a few minutes and a precarious climb up the tree he knocked a few coconuts loose and the girls gathered them up and took them back to the camp for breakfast.* *After they ate Frank grabbed Angie by the arm and pulled her up.* Frank: Come on we need to go look around. Angie: Why do you want me to go? *she said as he nearly drug her along* Frank: Because you seem to enjoy my company so much. *He said wryly*

angie: yeah right*she mumbles under her breath*
frank: what was that?
angie: i said, you're right*then sahe rolled her eyes behind his back*
frank: watch your step woman!*he lifts her arm to try and hold her up from stepping into a ditch*
dusty:okay sam wants us to go look around the beach, so come on
theresa: dont touch me, i am perfectly capable of getting up myself
dusty: yes ma'am, fiesty arent you?
theresa: i wonder why!!
they go walking along the beach with the crystal clear water washing up to their feet squishing the wet sand in between their toes, scoping out all over making sure there is nothing wrong and seeing if there are any things they can make use of for ther camp site.
dusty:oh look at the clouds over there, there's one shaped like a castle
theresa just keeps walking giving him the silent treatment, and not having a care in the world what the clouds look like. they start to wander toward inside the trees away from the water.
dusty: you cant keep silent forever! talk to me!*he grabs her shoulder turning her around*
theresa: that hurts! get your hands off me you brute!
she shakes aways from his tight grasp and takes a few steps back from him, but like a gust of wind she was gone. he turns around hearing a shriek, but see her nowhere to be found, the nhe realizes that she has fallen into quick sand. dusty is all the sudden nervous, and tries to think of what to do. he sees an extremely thick oilve dirty green vine in his reach and pulls it down from the tre branch in the air, and wraps it around his waist diving into the sand pit of despair(heehee! i love the princess bride).
a whole minute goes by with no sign of them coming back up, then without a moment's delay two heads pop up, with dusty climbing the thick vine and theresa with her arms around his neck, completely unconscious, from under the all the sand as he gasps for air.
they both lay on the soft ground helpless, as he is choking on the grated sand everywhere around him.
dusty somehow raises himself up slightly to where he could crawl over to her.
dusty: breathe! please be alive!*not knowing what to do in a situation such as this*
as he holds her head up in his arms she opens her eyes widely, coughing and choking from all the sand
dusty:oh my goodness!you are alive!
as theresa hears him say this she just lays in his arms and looks up to his face, shining in the sun, surprised of what he did for her, and then she passes out again. he stands up, and carries her back to the huts where the others are.
as soon as dusty comes into kim's sight she notices theresa in his arms and rushes over to her.
kim:what have you done to her?! put her down over there
dusty:oh calm down, she fell into a sand pit
kim: did you push her in?yu dirty rotten--
dusty:no! she fell in, shell be alright
as dusty lays theresa down inside the hut kim stays with her trying to get her to wake up, wanting angie to be there with them.he walks out of the hut never taking his eyes off theresa laying down with kim holding her hand.
sam:what was that about?
dusty: nothing

In the hut, Kim lays a damp rag upon Theresa's forehead, seething mad because deep down inside she can't deny that Dusty had pushed her in and tried to look like a hero -- all of these men were shady and she didn't like any of them... Her thoughts trail off to Sam's sparkling blue eyes and the grasp of his large hands cupped around hers when those Indians snuck up on them. She snaps out of her hopeless romantic daze and shakes the feeling away. He's a murderer and a cheat. He was planning on killing my sisters and me....and I'm oggling over his eyes and hands?! Kim scoffs at herself, shaking her head as she continues to pat the cool rag over Theresa's feverish forehead. "Kim?" Theresa whispers faintly, her eyes still closed. "I'm right here, sis." Kim answers, taking her hand and patting it gently. "Where's Dusty?" Theresa inquires. Kim's smile turns to a scowl. "He tried to kill you, Theresa; you couldn't possibl--" "He didn't try to kill me," Theresa laughs, opening her eyes as best she can, squinting out the bright sun that's seeping in through the cracks in the roof. "He saved me from that terrible quicksand. I was angry at him so I gave him the silent treatment; he grabbed my arm and I started to run away. Then before I knew it I was in quicksand, struggling for my life when" Theresa hesitates, thinking back, "....when Dusty rescued me." Kim tries to piece all of this together: one minute they're trying to kill us, then the next minute one of them is saving lives! "I just don't get it. Why would he--" "I have no idea," Theresa interrupts, "but he did; and I sure am grateful. I don't think they're so bad after all; maybe just a little misguided." Theresa laughs. Kim tries to act serious -- because dang-nabbit this is a serious situation! But a smile plays across her lips and she breaks a sarcastic laugh. "Maybe just a little..." Sam and Dusty sit on a log outside of the hut, cooking the fish for tonight's dinner. Both are lost in thought about the girls they're starting to fall for -- but neither would dare share such a secret. "That Kim girl is a handful, huh?" Dusty asks, making small talk. Sam chuckles and shrugs indifferently. "Seems to me they're all a handful." Dusty chuckles and nods his head in complete agreement, "yup." Sam nods his head and takes a deep sigh, almost in a tance, "...yup." Both men sit on the log and nod in unison, "yup."

As Angie and Frank wander through the jungle they make mental notes of what kinds of fruits and other vegetation there are that they might be able to eat. "Look blackberries!" Frank said as he walked over towards the bush full of berries. "Blackberries aren't a tropical berry." She muttered to herself thinking back to high school botany class. "Don't eat that!!" she shouted as he picked the berry and almost put it in his mouth. "Why not, it's just a blackberry" he said as again he lifted his hand to his mouth. Angie ran over to him and slapped it out of his hand before he could eat it. "What did you do that for? Are you crazy? We need all the food we can get!" Frank shouted back at her. "You can eat it if you want but Deadly Nightshade is not my idea of a good snack." Angie said. Realizing what he had almost eaten he shuddered a little and then quickly wiped his hands on his pants. He looked at Angie who was looking around at the trees and bushes and he wondered to himself why she had stopped him from eating the poisonous berry. He was paid to kill her and now she had saved his life. "Hey" he said softly causing her to turn around towards him, "Why did you do that, ya know stop me from eating it?" "Because it was the right thing to do. I couldn't knowlingly let you eat something that would kill you." Angie replied flatly. "Maybe you're not so bad after all." Frank said as he walked closer to her. "You're kinda pretty too". As he said that he put his hand on her cheek then bent down and kissed her. [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture14-2.jpg" src=" He did not get the reaction he had hoped for though as Angie pulled herself away and slapped him hard on his cheek. "Just because I stopped you from killing yourself does not make me your girlfriend. For goodness sakes you're nearly twice my age. You're practically old enough to be my father!!" Despite his years, Frank never had any problems attracting women of all ages. However, he definitely preferred the younger ones and was quite put out by her cold treatment towards him. "Don't worry, my child" he hissed at her sarchastically, "I shall keep my hands and my lips to myself from now on." They trekked back to the beach in silence and once there found everyone sitting around the fire.

angie: anything happen while we were gone?
theresa: nothing whatsoever
kim sits by the fire with an unfathomable look on her face,wondering why she said this, because of everything that just happened.
dusty just sits there poking the fire with a long stick, watching the zealous flames rise into the air. sam looks to kim then to frank, not wanting kim to see him.
frank: why is everyone so quiet?
he gets no answer from them as angie goes to sit in-between theresa and kim
angie sees kim and theresa with not so bright looks on their faces and whispers in their ears to come with her
theresa: where are we going?
sam:wait!
kim:what?
sam:where are you three going?
kim:i dont know angie wants to talk to us
sam:you cant go anywhere unless we can see you in sight
kim:oh we arent going to go far for crying out loud!
dusty:let them go...*sam looks to him with surprise*.....it isnt like they can escape, just let them
sam: oh fine
frank: just dont go outside our boundary
angie:oh we wont!
the three girls walk along the beach feeling the wet sand against their cold feet
angie:why are you so quiet theresa? you look like you have much on your mind
theresa: not at all
she lied, not wanting to, but she didnt know what else to say. theresa had dusty's presence in her mind. she couldnt stop thinking about what he did back there and kept wondering why. why in the world would he do this for her? intuitive things kept circling in her head, yet she didnt know what to do.
this man saved me, he must have some feeling for me, but why would i have feelings for him? that soulless,detestable, odious man who treated me and my sisters like we were some kind of criminals. he was going to kill us!
kim:i wonder why they are being so much nicer than they were
angie: they arent being nice! they are all mean and cold-hearted!
theresa:who's to say they wont kill us in the future?just because they SAY they have changed their minds, doesnt mean they are telling us the truth.

"No, I wouldn't trust these scoundrels to tell the truth if their lives depended on it!" Kim huffs, folding her arms and turning around to glare at the boys by the fire; stealing a quick glance at Sam for a second longer to admire his posture. "Why don't we try to turn the tables on them?" Angie inquires, looking to Theresa and Kim with a raised brow. Kim snaps out of her daze and gives Angie a confused look -- Theresa gives the same. "What are you talking about?" Angie discreetly turns around to make sure one of them isn't sneaking up on then and almost forms a huddle -- just enough to hide her point from the boys. "You see those ropes over there?" She asks. Kim and Theresa nod. "When they're sleeping, we'll tie 'em up!" Angie exclaims excitedly, though takes a quick peer toward the fire -- in hopes she didn't shriek too loudly. "Then what, sherlock?" Kim smirks doubtfully. "Then we'll..." Angie hesitates, trying to come up with a plausible plan. "We'll..." "We'll get killed, that's what!" Theresa stresses a whisper. "They'll wiggle free from those ropes and kill us! But first they'll torture us and skin us!" Theresa imagination starts to run wild; all of those murder mysteries run rampant in her head again, and she begins to shake her head in fervent disagreement. "You can risk your lives, but I plan to get off this island able bodied and with all 3 limbs!" "All 3?" Kim laughs, "You have four, Theresa." "I'll have three once they kill you two and suspect me of bein' a part of it!" Theresa begins to walk off, but Angie pulls her back. "We'll lay a rope underneath their mats tonight, then once they're asleep we'll wrap it around 'em! What's so hard about that?" Angie shrugs, sincere in her question. "They'll catch us! And who's to say they'll all be asleep?" Theresa folds her arms, ready to spit out a hundred reasons why this idea is caput. "What if one of us doesn't quite get the grasp and get's caught? Sure, one of them would be tied, but the other two would strangle us!" Theresa sighs, "I just don't like the idea." "Fine, then Angie and I will do it; you're goofy anyways." "I am not! He saved me from a certain death, that's all it was -- there aren't any feelings attached." Theresa defends herself. "Maybe not for him...." Angie chuckles; both girls only teasing their sister. "Fine, you think I'm in love with that bum? I'll show you what for; tonight at 2, we'll tell 'em we'll make their beds. I'll show him how it feels to be kept prisoner on this awful island." Theresa quickly turns and walks back to the fire. Kim and Angie look to each other and smile slyly, giving a low high five.

Later that night as they were getting ready for bed, the men threw a wrench in the girls' plan.
"Are y'all gonna sleep on the beach?" Kim asked as she saw them laying down beside the fire. "Yeah, you got a problem with that?" Sam shot back at her. "No, no!" she exclaimed trying not to give them the idea that they wanted them to sleep in the hut.
"Hey, what's going on?" Angie asked as Kim walked inside. "They said they're sleeping outside tonight." she answered. "Why?" Theresa asked confused. "I don't know. You think they heard our plan?" Theresa said with a scared look on her face. "No I doubt it. Come on I guess we better go to bed. We'll just have to think of something else." Angie said as she layed down on her makeshift bed.
"Hey Ang," Theresa said, "why did you want to play a trick on them anyway?" Angie hesistated for a moment before she answered. " Frank kissed me today" she said. "What!! He kissed you! Why didn't you tell us?" Kim said as she and Theresa now sat up eagerly awaiting the details.
"I didn't tell you because it didn't mean anything. I stopped him from eating a poisonous berry and then he kissed me." "What did you do?" Kim asked her eyes wide. "I slapped him and told him I didn't want him. Look I'm tired and I just want to go to sleep."
The next morning the girls awoke but had a hard time getting up. Soon they realized why; they were tied to their beds. They struggled and yelled until the men finally walked inside laughing heartily at them.
"So you thought you'd pull one over on us huh?" Frank said as he smirked at them. "I guess they see who's in charge now." Dusty chimed in. The girls had no response and just glared at them. The men decided they had been teased enough and they untied them.
"Seriously though girls," Sam said, "We need to at least make an attempt to get along. We don't know how long we're gonna be here and we may as well try and make the best of it." "I guess you're right." Kim said.
They all shook hands on an uneasy truce and then went about their chores for the day.

"what are we going to eat tonight?", kim asks worriedly. "well you are the fisher in this clan", frank says to dusty lightly tapping his arm. "but i thought you were a great fisher sam", dusty shoots back, not wanting to go. "oh go on dusty, we are already lighting the fire."
"theresa, you have never been fishing before, why dont you go along?"angie revealed snickering lightly with kim." "dont be silly ang", theresa immediately adds hardly shaking her head in disagreement.
"oh you like fishing?"dusty utters, wanting her to go with him, "yes do come along, i can show you a few things". theresa's shoulders suddenly fall with embarrassment, "okay", she replies with no excitement in her voice.
as dusty gets his things ready, theresa walks over to kim and angie with a not so bright look on her face. "well you two were a lot of help, now what am i going to do?" "oh calm down, resa, just act natural", suggests kim. "what do you consider natural? failing miserably?" she replies back with histerics in her voice, "oh never mind, now i have to go, it looks as if her is ready". "he saved your life didnt he?" angie asks. "is that suppose to mean something?" theresa turns around to follow dusty.
at a largely wide pond, dusty stands in the middle of it with his pants rolled up to his knees. "what are you doing?", "sshhhh, you have to be quiet!" with his index finger over his lips. "oh", theresa calms down and whispers, "why are we are being quiet?" dusty creeps his hands into the crystal clear water making ripples move away from his mascular hands and towards theresa's feet at the edge of the water. "look, she's close", he looks up to her. "how do you know it is a she?" theresa asks. "her mouth is open", dusty replies.
"very funny", theresa leans forward trying to see the fish, but dusty catches it and throws it up onto the rocks. "that doesn't look so hard, anyone can do that", theresa adds so assuringly.
"oh go ahead then, i havent had my afternoon laugh yet", dusty chuckles. "fine then!", theresa rolls up her sleeves and walks into the middle where he was, as he sits back and watches with laughing eyes. she watches the water for a minute or so waiting for one to come close to her; she reaches down into the water slowly and tries to grab the fish, missing it. she follows it with her hands making her slip in the mud at the bottom of the pond, landing under water.
"fine you have proved your point!", theresa says with attitude. dusty sighs, "look, you do it like this", he gets up and walks out to her. "i like fish, but fish dont like me", she says looking down.
"you have really small hands", he grabs them, hiding in his massive hands. he stands right behind her with his head next to hers leaning toward more and more. "see, there she is...wait for it" she feels his body pressing against hers and they look up in silence at each other. he lets go of her hands and turns her around kissing her ardently."where are you going? i thought i was going to show you ho-", dusty asks but is interrupted,"i uh...i have to get back to camp now, i need to do something", she lies and hustles out of the pond running to camp, just leaving dusty to watch her run further and further away from him.

Back at camp, Kim and Angie sit on a log with their fists under their chins, waiting for Theresa and Dusty to come back with the food. "I'm hungry." Angie moans, holding her stomach. "So am I." Kim agrees, sighing heavily. "Do you think we'll ever get off this island?" Angie asks hopelessly. "Probably not." Kim replies. The two continue to sit on the log, staring at the ground, motionless.
As Sam and Frank throw more logs onto the fire, Sam notices Kim sitting off to the side with a somber look on her face; he straights up and massages his neck. "Seems this island is starting to get to them." Sam laughs only for Frank's benefit; he cringes weakly and continues to gaze at Kim in sympathy. Frank stands up straight and leans back, stretching his back. "Nah, they're just bored. They're pretty good workers, though...for women." Frank laughs, going back to work. Sam throws down a log onto the fire and walks over to Kim. "Come on." He pulls her by the hand. "Let go of me!" Kim demands, though now she's merely saying it for Angie's benefit; she realizes he grabbed her hand and not forcefully her arm and is curious why. Sam hauls her off into the jungle and spins her around on a rock, sitting her down. "Now you listen, and you listen good." He points sternly at her. "The moment I saw you, I despised you..." Kim scoffs, her fondness for him dropping with every nasty remark he spits out, "I could have guessed as much. But I couldn't care -- in the least -- what you think about me, Sam. And I-- " "Shut up; I'm not finished." Sam replies. Kim folds her arms and takes a deep sigh, pretending not to be interested in the least -- but really, she's hanging on his every word. "Something changed on this island. The day those tribesmen ran after us I felt like I needed to protect you and I--" He takes a deep sigh, "I'll be darned if I know why." "What are you saying?" Kim sneers, "Is 'Sam the Killer' going soft on a woman?" She remarks. Sam quickly pulls her by the elbow and wraps his arms around her, in a tight embrace. He leans in and kisses her passionately; she willingly falls into his arms and kisses him back. She gently pulls away and slowly opens her eyelids; she gazes into his eyes then slaps him. "Ouch! What was that for?!" Sam yells. "That's for letting those tribesmen capture me!" "I didn't let them capt--" Sam notices her slight smirk; he hesitates, then laughs out loud, "You really are a fiery redhead aren't you?" He pulls her into his arms again, and the two kiss passionately.
"I wonder what's taking them so long." Frank looks toward the jungle then takes a look at the setting sun. "I'll be dark soon--" No sooner than Frank had uttered those words, Dusty appears through the trees and is seen walking toward the camp fire with a spear full of fish -- but no Theresa. Angie notices this and quickly makes her way toward Dusty. "Where's Theresa?" she asks urgently. "She ran away from me about an hour ago; I thought she'd be here." "We have to go find her!" Angie shouts. Frank hears the commotion and steps into the conversation, "What's going on?" "My sister's missing! We have to go find her!" Angie starts off toward the jungle; Frank sighs, frustrated, "If she turns up, send Sam off to find us." Dusty nods; Frank chases after Angie.
"What'll happen to us when we get off this island -- and what are Dusty and Frank gonna say?" Kim asks as she sits on the ground with Sam, her head leaning against his shoulder. "You can't tell Dusty or Frank." Sam looks to her and repeats himself adamantly. "Promise you won't say anything to either one of them." "I promise." Kim whispers. Her thoughts trail off into a whirlwind of deadly scenarios. "I couldn't imagine what Frank would do to us...probably skin us alive, no doubt." Sam's attention is immediately focused on the sound of someone approaching. The two stay down low and keep as quiet as possible. The footsteps begin to sound as if they're getting further and further away. Sam exhales deeply the sigh of relief and gets up, helping Kim to her feet. "Let's get back to camp." He says, but Kim stops him and places her hand on his arm. He looks down at her hand then up to her face. "Did you mean what you said earlier? Or is this just another dirty trick?" Kim asks, still somewhat leery. Sam pauses then smiles; he gently runs his hand behind her head and pulls her into another kiss. "If I'm lying, then you have permission to take the knife Frank buried next to the campfire and kill me during the night." "How could I be sure that the knife would actually be there?" "You don't really trust men, do you?" Sam chuckles. "Not one's who kidnap me and my sisters with plans to kill us." Kim replies, beginning to walk away. "But I apologized for that!" Sam says in defense, following her back to camp.

Frank and Angie walked through the jungle looking for Theresa without saying a word to each other. It was getting darker by the minute and Angie was so worried she began to cry a little. "I'm sure she's alright" Frank said hearing her sniffle. "What?" Angie asked, surprised that he cared. "I said I imagine she's okay". "Do you really think so?" she said hopefully. "Sure" he said even though he wasn't convinced of it himself. "I'll never forgive myself if anything happens to them. It's all my fault." She stopped walking and sat down on a fallen tree with her head in her hands. Frank stopped as well but stood a few feet away from her, not really sure what to do. He wanted to comfort her but he knew she wouldn't let him. [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture13-2.jpg" src=" "It's not your fault that we're here" he finally said. "Yes it is. I got us those jobs at the cafe. If I could have found us something better we wouldn't be stuck here." "I know you hate me but please listen to me, this is not your fault. You and your sisters didn't do anything wrong." Angie looked up at him and wiped her nose with her sleeve. "I'm sorry. I hate crying in front of people." "It's okay" Frank said. "It's getting pretty dark and we don't have any torches so we better go back to camp and then we can search some more if she hasn't come back yet." When they got back to camp they found Theresa and Dusty cooking the fish. Angie ran towards them and grabbed Theresa hugging her. "I was so worried. Where have you been?" "Well fishing was boring," she lied, "so I went for a walk. I didn't mean to worry anybody." Sam and Kim got back to camp with armfuls of berries and coconuts just in time for dinner. They had gathered the food as their cover story for why they were off in the jungle together. At dinner Kim wanted to snuggle close to Sam but instead she sat beside her sisters and tried not to even look at him. Theresa didn't know how she felt about Dusty and Angie just wanted to eat.
