This is just an idea that came into my head. If anyone wants this story to continue all I need is one review. If I get nothing, enjoy anyway. Oh, I don't own any of the characters, just having some fun.

…

Ben was pleased that Abby was able to be captured easily from her camp. To tell the truth she was taken one mile from it as she was lost after being chased by what they called the monster. He looked up at Juliet. "Is she indeed pregnant?"

She sighed, "Yes and she became pregnant on the island. There's nothing I can do for her. She should be with her people." Juliet didn't want to go into any more detail. "How did you know she was pregnant?"

"She helped me when I was being held captive in her camp. She was very talkative and I got some information out of her. It seems she liked Henry Gale." He smiled looking at Abby.

Juliet folded her arms. "I get the feeling Henry wouldn't hold people hostage. Being that he was one himself. I could like a man like that." Her words taunted him, reminded him of one of the reasons she was so angry with him. "He would let her go."

Ben wasn't going to be pushed today. "If he knew what I did, he wouldn't."

Abby started to wake up, blinking. Juliet placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It's alright. You are in good hands."

Ben stood next to the bed and waited for Abby to recognize her. "Henry? You escaped." Her mind was trying to process some information. Then she remembered the shootings. "You killed them. Three people, you shot them." She tried to get up but found she was restrained. That only caused her to panic.

Juliet gave her a shot to calm her down. Abby fell back into a drug induced state. "Ben, what happened at the camp?"

"Michael happened. He killed three of his own people to set me free. I suppose I should let him have his son back."

"How thoughtful of you."

"I have my moments."

Abby heard all of this. "Michael did that?" She spoke in her drugged state. "You're Henry not Ben. Who's Ben?"

"I am Abby. Tomorrow I'll explain what happened and why you are here." He freed her wrists from the restraints. "I owed you that."

"Thank you Ben. That's kind of you." Abby started to mumble after that with the drug now fully taking effect in her system.

Ben and Juliet left the room to allow their 'patient' to rest and take her time to get used to her surroundings.

"Want to tell me what happed with her? I can guess how you were treated by the others, but her? She seemed to think you're a decent human being." Juliet's words were sarcastic but if they kept her in his presence for a while he would indulge her.

…

Abby didn't want to go to the hatch but she wasn't feeling well and wanted to see Jack about her bouts of illness. "Hey there John? How's the leg?"

"It's tender but I've been through worse. Abby isn't it?" John put his book down.

"Yes. Um, is Jack here I wanted to ask him something?" Abby looked around at the dated area. She couldn't take her eyes of the sink and stove. She remembered those things.

"He's out arguing with Sawyer about something. You must have just missed him. So he may be a while." John smiled. Abby joined in as the animosity between Jack and Sawyer was part of the entertainment on the island.

A voice came behind a locked door. 'John, I need some water. Please, I won't harm anyone.'

"Is that the prisoner I've heard about?" Abby was curious and stared at the door.

"Jack will be back in an hour or so, he can wait until then." John was reluctant to say the words. A mixed sound of guilt and insecurity was in his voice.

"Isn't he the one that saved you from being eaten by the door and pressed the button that stops the world from blowing up?" Abby asked a little confused as to why this prisoner was being held with no water.

"We don't know who he really is. We have a strong feeling that he's one of the others."

'I'm rather thirsty, please just some water and my shoulder isn't getting any better.'

Abby looked so torn and gave John a withering look. "What can it hurt to give some water?"

With some thought John nodded and told her to take the mini medical kit. After been given the combination to the door she entered. She saw a rather beaten man with a rather significant wound on his shoulder. "Wow, did you ever get beat up. Here's your water." She had to step closer and kneel as he was tied up at the moment."

"Thank you so much."

His eyes intrigued her as well as a dignity that radiated from him even in his beaten state. "You're welcome. I've come to change your bandage and if you'll let me I'll clean up your face. Someone did a number on you."

"That would be the one called Sayid."

She instantly understood what happened. This man, Henry Gale was interrogated. "I am so sorry to hear what happened to you."

He could see complete sympathy in her eyes. She's a woman that would never want to have any harm done to anyone. She went to work straight away on his shoulder. "I'll be as gentle as I can. This may sting a bit."

He winced a little more than usual trying to get her sympathy. "Don't worry about it. I really appreciate your efforts. You're good at this? Are you a nurse?"

She gently laughed. "No I'm a secretary that was on vacation with my boyfriend. I got this experience from stitching up and helping my four older bar fighting brothers. They've grown up now but when they were younger…well that was a different life. I'm Abby by the way."

"I'm Henry Gale. Not that anyone believes me."

After dealing with his shoulder Abby cleared some dried blood from around his mouth. She was quiet then as she felt this was a rather intimate thing to do. His eyes kept boring into her pleading for her to believe him. He could see that she really wanted to believe him.

"Well with everything that has happened here people are not so trusting. There was this guy named Ethan who kidnapped a pregnant woman Claire and then a man named Charlie was strung up from a tree and left to die. There were also kidnappings. People were simply taken in the middle of the night." She paused again to clean off the area above his eye.

Henry nodded a little. "I can understand the fear. But I had nothing to do with that."

Abby stepped back and closed her eyes. "Sorry, just a little nausea that I've been having lately. It will pass."

"How long have you been on this island?" He knew the answer to that but he wanted to see if his assumptions were correct. People didn't get sick on this island he thought bitterly.

"Just over a month and a week." She finished the last scrape on his face. Then a thought hit her. Worry spread all over her face.

"I'm sorry did I say something wrong?" He knew full well know that he upset her and was glad. She would be easy to manipulate now.

"No, no you didn't don't worry about that."

"I did. I didn't mean to."

"Henry please, you didn't. So please don't worry about it. I didn't mean for you to think you did." It was then she stared at his wrists and realized that they were very, very red. "Oh, my. Let me take a look."

He made a face when she pulled on them as they were tied to his feet. "Sorry, I'm not helping."

"You could loosen them just a bit. Just a little." He looked pained as he bore into her eyes.

"Alright, look can I trust you won't attack me if I take them off your wrists to clean them? I'll have to tie you up again." She was ready to go and ask John for help or advice with this.

He stopped her. "You can trust me Abby. I don't want to get you into trouble. You've been so kind to me and I don't want to abuse that. Abby, please."

She nodded and undid the expertly tied knots. It took her some time to get them undone as she had very little skill rope tying. His wrists were cleaned, though upon further inspection they didn't need to be. "They are all right. Just rubbed a little. Sorry I'm going t have to tie these again."

For a second there he thought of attacking her and taking her from here. No one was in the hatch except for John, Abby and himself. He pushed that thought aside and let her tie him up again.

"I am not sure if they are tied well enough. I may have to get John to check."

"No, they are quite secure." He pulled on them to show her.

She stood up from her kneeling position and felt nauseated again. "Well, best of luck to you Henry Gale."

"Thank you Abby. If I am ever able I'll return the kindness you've shown me."

She smiled nervously and left the room and closed the door behind her. He easily undid the rope binding his hands and feet and stretched his limbs. A few hours later, when he heard footsteps, he quickly tied himself up again.

….

Juliet believed him. He was manipulative enough to be believed. "So how do you intend on repaying her kindness Ben?"

"By keeping her as comfortable as possible."

"She'll end up just like the rest."

Ben looked through the glass window. "No, she won't. She was damaged before she came here. Read the files again. She's the answer we've been looking for."

He walked down the corridor leaving Juliet to stare at the newest patient on the island. She prayed in her heart that this woman won't end up like the rest.
