Brandon sat at Jeff's desk, in charge of IR while he had gone to the lab to check the status of communications. Being in charge was uncomfortable for him, and he fidgeted nervously, hoping he would return soon.

He looked up as Jeff came back into the room and walked over to the desk, relieving him

"Thank you, Brandon; I'll take over now."

"Yes, sir," Brandon replied, relinquishing the position back to Jeff. Excusing himself, he went back to his apartment to get his drawing supplies and head to the beach. He sat under a palm tree, looking out over the ocean.

"That's not right," he said, ripping another piece of paper from his sketch pad. He had learned how to draw early on and used it as a means to relax.

"This is not working!" Brandon said in annoyance, crumpling up another piece of paper and adding them to the pile by his side.

"What's not working?" a voice beside him asked.

At the sound of the voice he turned around, looking up to see Kat. "Sorry," he said, "I didn't hear you come up."

"I didn't mean to startle you," she said, sitting down beside him. "I had to get out of the lounge for a bit."

"I know what you mean," he said, picking up the papers so the wind wouldn't blow them. "I had to get out of there because it was too quiet."

"What do you mean, too quiet?" she asked her friend.

He looked down at her, saying, "It's hard to explain. I'm an adrenalin junkie and 'quiet' doesn't cut it with me. When I was home, I liked to go to this park and run. Other times, I was part of an extreme skydiving group that got together on weekends to see how far we could push the envelope. Since I've come to the island, I've had to find other ways to keep myself busy."

"What's your definition of 'pushing the envelope?"

"My idea of pushing the envelope was to see how far I would free fall before I opened my 'chute," he said, a twinkle in his eyes. He went on to describe some of his other hobbies, including drawing. "So what do you do in your spare time?"

With a chuckle, she answered, "It's tame compared with your hobbies. At home, I like to ride horses. The countryside around Lady Penelope's estate is beautiful and so peaceful. I also like to cook and I adore children."

"I could see that in the way you handled Joshua earlier. He calmed right down when you took him."

There was a moment of silence. Kat looked over at Brandon and saw him looking in the direction of the villa. She said, "I wonder if Mr. Tracy's heard anything yet."

"I was wondering the same thing; why don't we go find out?" Together the two friends stood up and headed back.
