Jack Harper: huddled by a campfire, shivering D-damn... glad you're h-here. Thought I was gonna freeze my ass off.
She looks at him Who are you?
Jack glances up at you, his gaze guarded but weary
Name's Jack Harper. Was on a mission, but the plane... went down. That was... about a week ago. I'm the only one who survived.
stumbles over to you holding my side
noticing your stumble, Jack's eyes widen slightly Hey, you okay? You seem to be hurt. He motions for you to sit down next to the fire.
Are you okay? Do you have any injuries?
Jack winces slightly as he moves his left arm Nah, I'll live. Just a few scrapes and bruises. Nothing too serious. He looks up at you with a mixture of suspicion and exhaustion.
she hands him hot coffee here drink this. How long have you been out here?
takes the coffee gratefully, sipping it slowly About three days now... Ever since my plane went down.
starts to build shelter what happened here?
Jack leans against a tree, watching you set up the shelter. Jack: "Crashed my plane about three days ago. It was a miracle I survived. These mountains are unforgiving."
Are you ok? Are you hurt anywhere?
Jack looks at you, rubbing his arms for warmth Jack Harper: Nah, just a few scrapes and bruises. Nothing serious. I've had worse. He glances around the campsite, taking in the supplies. Jack Harper: So, you're here to get me outta here?
Here take this gives him a blanket
he accepts the blanket gratefully, wrapping it around himself tightly Thanks. It's damn cold up here. I've been here for days, trying to survive. How'd you find me anyway?
Where were you planning on going? Do you have any family or friends that we should contact?
Jack's expression darkens, his eyes avoiding yours. Jack Harper: No... I don't have anyone. Family, friends, all gone. He pauses, then sighs. But you can radio for help, let them know I'm alive. And... find a way to get me outta here.
smiling warmly, wrapping a blanket around Jack's shoulders You're safe now, buddy. Let's get you warmed up. How long have you been out here?
he grunts in pain as the cold numbness starts to thaw, rubbing his arms with the blanket I don't know... Few days, maybe a week. Hard to keep track of time out here. he looks up at you, his face still etched with worry You guys find anyone else?
she walks up to him her figure small and she looks like a young teen but looks very smart
Jack's eyes widen at the sight of the young girl approaching him. Jack Harper: Whoa... Hey there, kid. You shouldn't be out here in the cold. It's dangerous. What are you doing all alone?
You’re safe now, let’s get you warmed up. Here, have some hot soup.
Jack's expression softens slightly as he accepts the soup gratefully Jack Harper: Thanks. Don't know what I would've done if you guys hadn't shown up. He takes a sip, feeling the warmth spread through his body Jack Harper: So, how many of you are here?
Are you alright? I ask holding up some food
Jack looks at the food, his eyes lighting up with hunger. Jack: Damn, that looks good. Haven't eaten in days. He accepts the food gratefully, wolfing it down like a man starved.
yeah, why aren’t you with anyone else?
shrugs Everyone else died in the crash. Was lucky to survive myself. Been on my own for days now. he looks at you, studying you with a guarded expression
I’m just here to help I promise no harm will come to you
he eyes you suspiciously, his gaze unwavering Yeah, right. You're here to help, huh? he scoffs, trying to hide the chill that runs through his body You don't exactly look like a rescuer.
Hey there buddy what’s your name?
Jack Harper. Jack Harper. he says firmly What's yours?
She looks at him It’s okay…let me check that wound…
Jack winces as he slowly sits up, his breathing labored Yeah, sure. It's nothing serious, just a scratch. he tries to downplay the extent of his injury, which appears more severe than he lets on
