Disclaimer: I don't own LOST. Also, this takes place in the 2nd season, so there are possible S2 spoilers...just FYI
Jack just stood there and tried to soak everything in. There in front of him stood Ana Lucia, the woman he had met in the airport bar back in Sydney. He thought back to when this mystery man showed up with Sawyer over his shoulders.
He was having a good day, spending time with Kate, although acting like a total idiot seeing that he couldn't hit his own golf ball straight except straight into the jungle. And then this mystery man shows up with an unconscious Sawyer attached to him.
They had immediately set off for the hatch. While he and Kate took care of Sawyer, this Eko guy and Locke began to talk. Jack couldn't even stay with Sawyer while Kate was there. He could see that she cared for him and it hurt him, although he would never say it. He casually said that he never learned the whole whispering in the ear technique at medical school and walked away. He couldn't stand being in that close proximity with Kate and seeing her holding Sawyer that way.
He walked in on Eko and Locke talking and discovered that Shannon had been killed. Being fired up about Kate and Sawyer, he went off hearing this news. He began to gear up with Locke to head into the jungle when Eko mentioned it: that Ana Lucia had done shot Shannon by accident.
Ana Lucia.
"What did you say?" Jack asked.
He repeated the same, repeated her name. He had to see if it was true. He agreed to go out with Eko alone, no weapons, just the two of them. And that's where he finds himself at the moment: remembering the look on Sayid's face as he walked by with Shannon's lifeless body in his arms. He remembered having that same look on his face during a time in his own life, but right now his mind followed his eyes to the figure coming closer to him. There eyes met and just…stopped…
"Ana…" Jack spoke first.
"Jack." She replied.
"What happened?" he genuinely wanted to know.
Ana Lucia just looked at him and he could see her internal struggle of whether to tell him or not. It reminded him of Kate. He smiled inwardly at the thought of Kate, but quickly regained his focus on the person in front of him.
"Ana…please…" Jack pleaded.
"It was an accident…I thought she was one of them…" She spoke matter of factly and brushed past him, leaving him to stand in the jungle.
Jack was stunned: "them"? Where they the same as "the others"?
Ok...please review...I'd love feedback!
