Nikki followed Chris out into the jungle, looking around frantically to see if there was any sign of her misplaced bag. Her eyes flickered left and right, looking for any glimmer of jewels of any grey Expose bag hidden in the trees. It was a good thing Chris was with her, Nikki wasn't much of an athletic person.
They made there way thick into the jungle and stopped at a dead end, or a lake as Nikki would like to call it. There was a cascade of water floating down that abstructed Nikki's hearing when they reached it.
"Do you think that my bag could have fallen in the water?" Nikki asked, almost rh torically. She still wanted an answer though, just to make sure she was right. She looked at the canopy of trees and there was a clearing where luggage could have fallen through.

Chris was glad to help Nikki out. Little did he know what he was looking for or what was inside the bag. He continued through the forest till they reached the waterfall. He looked at her and shrugged "I dunno, I don't feel like it would.." he said to her.
He continued to search walking deeper when he noticed something in a tree. He jumped and and began to pull himself up into the tree and grabbed it. He slid back down and jumpde but fell and the beg fell alone with the diamonds. "He looked curiouslt.... "woah" he said. He looked at the bag "this yours?" he asked insprcting for a name.

Chris found a bag in the trees and Nikki's head whirred around from looking into the water. He slid down, the Expose bag in his hand and the diamonds spilling into him palm. Nikki tensed, she couldn't say a word and neither could he. "This yours? he had asked Nikki, but she didn't give an answer, at least not immediately.
Nikki fingered her pocket for the small knife that she usually kept, just incase of wild boar or monsters in the jungle. Though she figured it wasn't enough for a polar bear, it would be enough to convice Chris to keep his mouth shut. She got her grip on it's handle and ran at Chris, the knife in hand. She pinned him to the tree and held the knife to his neck.
"Put the bag and the diamonds down." Nikki whispered to him, holding the knife directly on his vein. One wrong movement and she wouldn't hesitate to kill him. She was ruthless and no one knew now, except for Chris.

He didn't even expect what came next. He felt nikki suddnely pinning him to a tree and the tip of a blade to his neck. "Nik---what the---" he didn't know what to do. But he looked at her and dropped the bag slowly. "Nikki what's goin on? whats with the diamonds?" he asked

"Nikki, what's goin on? Whats with the diamonds?" Chris asked her, still pinned to the tree between wood and knifepoint. Nikki rounded up all of the reasons in her head why she actually took the diamonds in the first place, wondering whether he wanted the full story or just a brief synopsis. Nikki's hazel eyes glared into his irises and she began to move her body downward.
She still held the knife towards him in a threatening gesture while she gathered the diamonds and placed them in the grey bag. She slung it around her shoulder quickly, still threatening Chris with the tip of the small silver knife. "You really want to know about the diamonds?" she asked him.
"You're going to have to promise me that you won't tell anyone on this island." Nikki placed out the stipulation for him and raised an eyebrow, wanting an answer immediately. "Either that, or I could kill you right here."

He raised his hands knowing he really didn't have many options. He figured she would kill him if he tried to reach for anything or run away. He looked at her and nodded gulping at the sharp bldade "Okay I promise" he said avoiding any dangerous situations. He looked at her nervous. Perhaps this woman was far more dangerous than he thought. He doubted her backstory now and felt like an idiot for being fooled.

Nikki let out a small breath that she didn't know she was holding. She honestly didn't feel like an unnessecary death should be carried out. She knew that Chris would be cooperative with her. She withdrew the knife that she held at his neck and placed it into the now found bag. She placed her hands on her hips, pacing around and trying to think of the best way to explain why she had the diamonds in the first place.
"Paulo and I, well, we aren't really the people you think we are." Nikki stated. Well, the was obvious. She had just held an innocent man at knifepoint. "We're con artists. When I was casted in Expose, the producer had loads of cash and these diamonds. I seduced him and eventually Paulo and I poisoned him. I took the key from his neck after he died and took the diamonds."
Now that Nikki thought about it, what was her real motive for taking the diamonds. They surely had no significant value, except for the moneyworth, but they didn't serve a purpose. She felt like her con had gone awry. She looked back at Chris with new eyes. "I don't know why the heck I did it."

He looked at her his eyes growing wide at her story. But then he looked at her and listened to her clearly. What was the real point of stealing them...perhaps the plane crash was their bad Karma. He looked at her and bit his lip. He was relieved the knife was gone.
He looked down then up at her and nodded "okay..." he said "as long as you dont kill anyone one here, your secret is safe with me" he said. Chris knew how to keep secrets, hell he had plenty of his own, he techinally was a con artist himself. He decived men and women, making them believe he cared about the passion he shared with them...but he only cared about the money he earned. Perhaps he sympathized a little with Nikki.

Nikki could see the relief flow into Chris' features as the knife was withdrawn. He seemed to be much more complex than Nikki had originally thought he was. She hoped he was a decent secret keeper, or he knew the consequences.
"As long as you dont kill anyone one here, your secret is safe with me" Chris had told her. Nikki nodded in agreement, happy that he would keep things to himself. He didn't look like one to go around blabbering things to other people, so Nikki felt safe around him.
"I'm glad we have an agreement." Nikki said, smiling at him. Her pearly white teeth shone in the sunlight. She ad regained her usual happy and smiley voice and got rid of the deeper threatening tone she used before. "Do you want to head back to the camp?" she asked him.

Chris looked at Nikki and wasn't sure what to think anymore. She'd been sweet one moment and dangerous the next. Who knew what she was capable of. He looked at her shocked still. Did she really kill someone for these diamonds. "So this was why youve gone all the hunts...to find the bag" he said. He looked at her a little stunned still.
"C--can I ask ya somethin?" he asked. "What good are the diamonds now? I mean...they really ahve no worth out here if you think about it" he said. "I dunno maybe I'm wrong...maybe it'll help you with favors and bribes...I d unno Ill just forge tabout" he said.
