Kate smiled at this man whose firm grip was the first living human touch she had had since she had climbed on that airplane.<br/><br/>"Nice to meet you," she said, shaking his hand. "Are you hurt? I can get some wounds cleaned up but I don't have medicine. Are you hungry? I have some dried fish and coconut. That will tide you over until I can get some fresh fish and crab legs. We need to hurry though, once the sun gets to the noon high point, everything is too hot to be on the beach or exploring. I have a hammock back in the shade. I will bring a mat to shade so we can rest until later in the afternoon."<br/><br/>Kate turned to head back to the beach where her small fire pit waited. She stopped and swung two empty coconuts to the stream that flowed from the cistern high in the volcano.<br/><br/>"You coming?" she invited as she headed back.
