Then the whispering starts. Shannon glances around, nervous. Sayid looks around too, but he's heard the whispering before. And Shannon sees, a short distance away, Walt, standing in the bushes, raising a finger to his lips (the "shhhh" is audible even over the monsoon). She turns back to Sayid: "Do you see him?" Sayid looks at her and nods his head. He'd been looking in the same direction, but I'm going to reserve judgment on whether he actually did see Walt or was just trying to placate Shannon until we hear a little more (I'm leaning towards the latter).
Shannon goes chasing after Walt, who turns and runs away. Sayid just stays there for about two hours, looking completely zoned out, before yelling "Shannon!" and giving chase. ["That zoned look made me think he had in fact seen Walt." -- Sars] He trips and falls, then gets up -- and the clap of a gunshot reverberates. "Shannon?" he yells again, and starts running.
He sees Shannon, who turns around, with a bloody abdomen. She collapses in his arms, they sink to the ground, and Sayid starts to wail while Shannon checks out.. He looks up. Standing there is Ana-Lucia, gun drawn, slide back, looking aghast. She lowers the gun. Shot of Jin looking stunned. Shot of Michael looking absolutely horrified. Shot of Ana-Lucia, who looks more nauseous than sneering.
Sayid's face goes hard, and he starts to rise to his feet. Hope you're not too attached to your fingernails, Ana-Lucia.
