Island Trading Post [Skye]

[Sawyer]

"Look, lady, ah don't have your goddam suitcase."

Okay, so let's just say that Sawyer wasn't in the best of moods today. Why did people have to keep harassing him? He watched as Whatever-Her-Name was stalked off.. probably muttering something under her breathe about him. Well, whatever. They could think what they liked about him.

Sawyer heaved a sigh and rolled his eyes, leaning on a packed suitcase. Probably hers, after all that. He knew full well he had most people's suitcases. But he wasn't going to just hand them over... he was running a business of sorts, after all, and it would be stupid to give people the idea he was running some sort of charity... Might as well act like the asshole he was from day one, stop them getting their hopes up.

[Skye]

Skye hadn't been on the beach that long. Only a day or so. The only person she had meet was the doctor. Oh what was his name again...Jack or something. Skye really isn't a people person. She avoids people all the time. She was glad to have the cuffs off from her hands. At least the doc was good for something but her wrists still looked a mess and they hurt like hell. She was still feeling awful with the withdraw she was going through as well and she just needed her hands on some sort of drugs. She heard someone talking about wanting their suitcase. She stayed hidden behind a tree and just watched. She saw everything that this guy had in this tent and she wondered if he had any pills.

Coming out from behind the tree she sat down on the sand and just looked to the tent and the guy. Maybe he'll leave soon and she can go in and look or something for she wasn't just about to go up and ask for some for she already had an idea on what the answer would be and that would be no. Skye then felt like she was going to throw up again. She tried to hold it back but soon she found herself on her feet and back up to a tree puking her guts out. She hated it when that happened but it was all part of the withdraw and she just needed drugs. To feel that high again. Walking back over to where she had sat before she sat back down and just watched the tent and the guy and then down to her wrists. The pain was still as bad as ever and it still felt she had the cuffs on.

"Aww, Christ" Sawyer rolled his eyes and stepped forward out of his tent on finding yet another woman heading towards him. She looked... like death warmed up, to be honest. But hey, what did you expect after a plane crash? He'd been spoiled rotten so far, what with shallow super-model S.. whatever her name was (Sharon or something?) and, of course, Kate, but it was time to get real. This was the wild.. not everyone could look perfectly groomed all the time, nor suit the untamed look so well.

"Whatever it is, ah ain't stolen it, okay?"

[Skye]

Skye looked to the man and gave him a cold stear. She didn't know who he was. She didn't even know if he was always like this or something really got on his nerves but she had to options, either run away to some other part of the beach or back into the forest...or she could talk to him. She so felt like running right now but she really wanted some sort of drugs. She then figered she looked like a mess and she was in pain that maybe he would give her a few pain killers...that should make her feel good for a while. I just want a few pain pills....or is that too much for you to handle right now? she said basically giving him the same attitude she gave everyone that ever talks to her. Skye really wasn''t one who had manners....she didn't even play by peoples rules.

Her hands were still shaking from the withdraw that she was going through and anouther headache came over her again. This time she was able to just raise one hand to her head. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and then slowly opened them again once the headache had past.

[Sawyer]

Sheesh. Who bit her on the ass? Come to think of it, what was with everyone today? The whole goddam island seemed to be turning against him.. well, he deserved it, of course, but still. It was a little too soon for anyone to have figured out what a jerk he truly was.

She looked like she could do with the pills, all right. He was almost moved to give them to her based on the welts on her wrists alone.. those looked pretty raw. But, like he'd already told himself, he wasn't going to roll over and let people just take what he'd worked so hard to collect. If he couldn't be liked, then he was going to make sure he stayed on the inside by being the one who had what people needed. "Might have some.." he shrugged non-commitally, his tone deadpan.

[Skye]

Skye kept her eyes on him and just watched him. She wanted those pills more then anything for she hated feeling like this. Her hands were still shaking and she couldn't controll them at all. just give me the dam pills.....i need them she said. If anyone had been around drug addicks before then they could easily tell that she was one but if they hadn't then they could just see her as a young girl who was a mess that was in pain and just needed the pills. Skye was ready to just walk in there not caring about the guy being there and turning the place over and finding them herself.

[Sawyer]

For all his annoying nicknames and irreverent humor, Sawyer knew when to back down and play it straight. And this was one of those times, since this girl looked ready to go for his jugular if she didn't get the pills soon. "Okay, okay..." He headed into the tent and started rooting around in the suitcases looking for the pills.. soon he'd have everything sorted into some sort of order, but for the moment it was chaos.

While he searched, he thought it might be worthwhile getting to know this girl, since if she needed pills that much he'd probably end up in a close working relationship with her. "What's your name?"

[Skye]

Skye listened to him and just watched him as he looked for the pills. She didn't know why he wanted to know her name for but if it'll get her the pills then she would tell him. Skye....what's yours? She asked and just watched him. She looked over her shoulder a few times making sure no one was behind her or watching her. She had a thing where she didn't trust people...she didn't even trust this guy. Skye then took a step back for all she knew he could just say he was looking for pills and he could pull out a knife or something. Skye was jumpy but that was just Skye for she couldn't be to careful around people and she has had knives pulled out on her when she was out on the streets a few times but she didn't get stabbed for the people she worked for kept an eye out on her for they didn't want anything happening to their drug carrier. Anouther headache came and she raised her hand to her head again. This one lasted longer but it soon was over and she lowed her hand again and just tried to get them to stop shaking but it was no good.

[Sawyer]

"Sawyer"

He pulled a canister out of a bag, holding it up to the light and squinting at the label... Little wonder Jack was a doctor; these awkward words and annoingly small letters seemed to suit him. Thyox... hyra... Hell, no way he'd be able to say that... so he settled on "Pills" and tossed them to her.

[Skye]

Skye caught the bottle and looked at them and a small smile came over her face. She quickly un did the lid and took a few out and swallowed them. It felt like pure heaven to taste such sweet drugs again. The shakeness was slowly stopping in her hands and she was glad of that. She kept a tight grip on the bottle and if he wanted them back...well that would be tough luck for she wasn't planning on giving them back. He would have to catch her first if he wanted her to give the bottle back. Thanks for the pills Sawyer she said to him and looked back to the bottle with drug hungry eyes. She didn't care if taking drugs was wrong...it just all the pain go away and it made her feel 'good' and drugs were a 'friend' to her. One she had been without for days and now she had some in her hands once again.

[Sawyer]

Okay, so maybe something about this girl didn't sit right, but since when did that bother Sawyer? Quick as ever to seize the opportunity, he could see that this relationship could be... profitable, to say the least, because those pills wouldn't last forever. From the hunger in her eyes he could tell she'd need more.. and now she knew who to come to... Ethics? Since when did those come into the question? Sawyer's conscience, if he had ever had one, was long mute.

"No problem, Skye" (he hadn't thought of a nickname for her yet, and besides, using one before they were better connected might jeapordise this fledgling contract).

[Skye]

Skye looked at Sawyer. She just watched him and listened to him speak. She started to wonder if there was more to this then it looked. She started to wonder if there was something that he wanted in return...for surly what she had seen him do when she was watching him he just wouldn't let her just take these pills for nothing. She kept her eyes on him for a bit longer and then down to the bottle of pills then back up at him. Wait there has gotta be something more here. When I was watching you, you don't seem the type to just give someone something for nothing in return..... She said not knowing if she had said that right or how it sounded but if it made sence she would soon get an answer to her question.

[Sawyer]

Ah.. rumbled. Evidently lil' miss Junkie was clever than he'd given her credit for.. spending so much time with the other idiots had made him lazy, thinking everyone could be read as easily as them. Thanks for the wake-up call, doll.. that alone is worth the pills

"And you don't look the type t'jump to conclusions.."

[Skye]

Skye shifted uneasily on her feet as she stood there. She listened to Sawyer's vocals when he spoke. Well you don't know a thing about me.. she said to him and continued to hold a tight grip on the bottle of pills. It was only a small bottle so she knew it wouldn't last her long and she wondered what it would take for her to get her hands on more for she didn't want to go back having those feelings again. Skye then took anouther step back feeling a bit uneasy still but she wasn't expecting to be something behind her and it made her trip up and she landed on the sand. She had dropped the bottle of pills but she quickly grabbed them again and just sat there holding them close to her as if she would die without them. Well when she was going through the withdraw symptoms it felt like she was about to die....or it made her want to die for them to stop. But now she has got her hands on a bottle. Maybe this place wouldn't be that bad...but then again, what if this is the last bottle. What would she do then? Skye's eyes then looked behind Sawyer and looked at all the things he had in there. There could be more in there somewhere - but would he give them to her if she was to ask for them? she didn't know.
