    Charlie was playing his guitar. Then Locke came up to him and suggested, "Charlie how about you and I go out for a walk." Locke said.

   "No. No thanks. I'm gonna stay an," Charlie said. "Come on. Fresh air will do you good." Locke said.

   Evelyn

    Jack and Kate got back late last night, and they brought tons of water. Thankfully for them because other wise I'd die of thirst and dehydration.

   I was with Jack (my father) and he was looking at Kate's mug shot. "Why don't you put that away? You've looked at that picture long enough." I said. I didn't even tell Jack about my little mishap earlier, and Sawyer trying to help me stand incident.

We both looked at each other for a while and then Kate came to talk to Jack, he still had the mug shot of her in his hands. "I've taken better pictures than that." Kate said.

"Smaller too if you want something for your wallet." Kate adds. She has to be joking right?

"I just came by for a few things and this was with my stuff." He hands the paper to Kate. "A few things? Meaning one your daughter?" Kate asks while looking at me in the eye. "Of course Kate. I'm not going to leave her in Sawyers hands he's not even a doctor!" Jack almost yelled. "Hey! Don't even think about criticizing him like that sure he's a pain in the neck sometimes but he took care of me when you didn't." I said sticking up for him. Jack sighs. "I was getting water for everyone Evelyn. We need to survive." Jack said. Kate looked at me and then at Jack. "But you were never actually there for me. Never when I got hurt sure you patched me up, but you never sat there with me, you just left." I said. "Evelyn now is not the time." He said. "I'm sorry Kate, for my daughter's behavior." Jack looks me in the eye. "It's fine. I used to be that way when I was a kid." She said.

Then Jack gets the medicine and Late asks, "So your not staying?"

"No. It's only a broken record but caves are natural shelter and hell of a lot safer than living here on the beach." Jack said. "Your mad at me?" Oh heck he better be, Cause I'm mad at her.

"No. Kate I'm I just don't understand why you won't come with me. Us. Maybe a mile up there. If that." Kate stopped his sentence, "We crashed 8 days ago Jack. I'm not giving up hope here." Kate said. I looked from one end to another. "We both know that's never going to happen Kate." Jack said. "Sayyid has a plan." Kate starts to say. "To find a source of the distress code I know." Jack said. "That signal is coming from somewhere on the island if we can find," Kate said. "The signal has been running on a loop for 16 years Kate. And the women that left it, she wasn't rescued. What makes you think it's going to be any different for us?" Jack asks Kate. "I believe it." She said. "I wish I shared your faith." Jack said.

  "Meaning sharing a few things I heard myself?" My uncle came in. "What do you want Sawyer?" Kate asks. "I heard that the doc here was making his own civilization here." Sawyer said. Sawyer dropped two bags. "Bet I could fix this place up real nice. Maybe even find someone to share it with me?" Sawyer looks at Kate, he didn't notice me sitting here. I rolled my eyes, gross. "Fifteen year old alert Uncle." I said. "Oh right. Sorry my bad." He said. My father (Jack) come over to me and placed a kiss on my forehead, "I'll see ya later." He whispers then he walks away.

My uncle smiles and waves his hand at Jack, (His way of saying goodbye.)

I go off with Kate, Boone and Sayyid. Sayyid place a pole in the sand, he said something about making a triangle. After I realized what they were doing was to complicated for me so I went back to Sawyer. He was reading a book. "Hey." He said. "Hey." I said back. "Lazy?" He asks mentioning what I was doing with Boone, Sayyid and Kate. "It's hard for me to walk remember." I say. "Right." He commented.
