Lost and Found

Kara:


"I'm fine," i replied to the girl, "But the question is, are you?"

I looked at the girl as she nodded and tried to get up. I stopped her before it caused her more pain.

"I don't think either of us is in any condition to get up quite yet," I said smiling, she weakly smiled back. Just then, I remembered my manners, though, after a plane crash, I guess you don't need any. Still, I sat up and said, "Oh, and I'm Kara."

The girl smiled and replied, "My name's Naomi. Didn't we meet on the plane?" I vaguely remembered seeing her walk past me and we introduced ourselves.

"Maybe," I said, "Let my try to help me up." I grabbed her hands and yanked her up, careful not to hurt her wound. Soon we were both sitting up with no problem. A dog trotted next to Naomi and started to lick her arm.

"oh, this is Sadie, my dog," Naomi explained. i nodded and started to pet Sadie.

"She's sweet," I whispered.

"Yeah," Naomi replied. We smiled at each other and pet Sadie for a while until the silence was broken.

Ah well, Better keep writing.

Bella--

I stared at the man incredilously, blinking a few times.

"I need a reason to care about another persons well being?!" I exclaimed, staring at him in shock.

Inez

I grinned as I looked over at the girl clinging to Colt's neck. She was really quite taken with him, it was adorable to tell the truth. Every now and then he would reach back and lift her back up and lightly tickle her sides.

"How many people do you suppose are alive here?" Inez asked.

"As many as can be helpped."

I grimanced inwardly with what we had for a first aid kit, that couldn't be very many people. I felt tears start to prick my eyes and I forced a deep breath to calm myself. But before I knew it I was silently sobbing, trailing a few feet behind so he wouldn't see me. But I was sure I heard Trinity ask why I was crying.

Colt-

"Why is she crying?" Trinity asked in his ear.

"I don't know, she is probably worried and stressed, you want to go comfort her?" He asked, he felt her nod on his back and he let her slide off. He stopped and let Inez catch up. "I'm going to try and make a makeshift shelter, it will be better for the injured, Trinity will help you. Are you going to be ok?"

Inez

I nodded, I would be okay, eventually. I could handle a kid, I could keep it together for the little girl...at least I hoped I could. I didn't know what I would do if I couldn't. I had to do something with my hands, I had to go through my kit, busy my hands, I couldn't leave myself time to think.

I kneeled down in front of the girl, "want to help me ortanize my kit?"

She smiled and nodded. We set to work.

Colt-

Colt shifted through his duffle bag looking for something of help. There was a bunch of ropes; he never let them out of his site, a trench coat, a box of matches that had been hidden in his clothes and not been found, and then a bowie knife. It had taken him hours to talk them into letting him carry it on his carry on bag, and finnally he had succeeded sense he used to be a Coast Guard. He had had a brand new gun in the luggage compartment, but it was probably gone now. He looked at the key for the bullet proof container and stuck it in his pocket anyway. He grabbed the rope, bowie knife, and matches and made his way into the woods.

Quickly collecting as many fallen branches and trees he started making the biggest makeshift shelter he had ever made. Using as little of his rope he tied the posts together. He used the bowie knife's holder as a shovel making the holes as deep as possible so the posts would be sturdier. As he worked he could feel sweat rolling down his back as the hot sun beat on his back. When he finished the frame he worked on making a floor then went looking for a roof.


Trinity-

"Why were you crying?" Trinity asked as she held odds and ends helping Inez organize her kit. She looked at the bottles in her hand not knowing what they were and not really caring.

Inez

I patted the girls head, "there's no real reason little one. I suppose I'm just real homesick."

I tasted the lie on my tongue, I wanted to understand, I really did. But I didn't know really why I was crying. I just wanted to stop.

Sighing I finished up putting the stuff back into my kit I stood up and led the little girl back to Colt, offering my assistance. I needed something to do.

Colt-

Colt looked at Inez and Trinity as they walked towards him.

"Can we help?" Inez asked, he nodded and looked at Trinity,

"How about you, little missy, get me as many of those palm brances that you can." He then looked at Inez, "We need to fix a roof on top. If we can find a bunch of sticks I can make a slanted roof, but if not we will have to stick with a flat roof and hope it doesn't rain."


Trinity-

Trinity ran over to one of the trees and started pulling branches off taking arm loads at a time back to the structure. "Put them on the floor, it can be a beding." Colt called to her. She did, after she would arange one pile she woudl go get more.

Inez

I watched amused as the little girl walked back and forth carrying a bundle of palms and setting them down.

"I hope she doesn't have to stay here too long," I said hopefully.

Colt-

Colt nodded, "But I don't really want her to have to go back and have to go into foster care or anything. Her parents are dead, and I don't know what her family is like, if they would take her or not."


Trinity-

Trinity finished covering the bottom, but built it up as thick as she could. She laid down on it at one point. It felt nice and good. She didn't close her eyes knowing she would fall asleep.

"Do you want me to go tell the others that are ok to bring the hurt people over here?" SHe called to Colt.

David-

I let my head fall back onto the red sand limply, staring up at the girl with curiosity and annoyance.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?" i asked, though i let my voice soften.

"Because you're hurt."

"'s not that bad."

She rapped her knuckles against my forehead lightly. I winced. "Yes, bad enough. Now come on, you have to get up."

"I can't. My side..."

Bella--

Sighing, I lifted the man into a sitting position. He winced in pain.

"I'm sorry, but this is assurably going to hurt a bit." I warned him, pulling him to his feet. I supported most of his weight.

"Where are you taknig me?" he demanded.

"I'm pretty sure there's a doctor, or nurse or something around here somewhere...some one with some medical capability... I'm Bella, by the way."

David-

"David," i managed to gasp, gritting my teeth at the pain. Stiffening my resolve, I looked around, trying to block out the pain. I saw a man building a shelter with another woman and a child.

"Try over there," i said, wincing at the searing heat that spread through my side.

Bella--

Nodding, I helped the man toward the people building a small shelter.

>.< eep, shortness!!
