Got it all figured out inside of my head
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby I'm all set
We'll cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies
Make sure we got a good alibi
And by the time they catch on, we'll be outta their sight
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town


Benjamin Linus, senior Pinkerton agent, and his new partner, Hugo Reyes, were currently riding through the small town of Boone, Colorado.

"Are we sure they're here?" Benjamin inquired of this small town, "It seems a little..improbable."

"I'm telling you, hombre, he said they were here!" Hugo replied for what felt like the millionth time.

Benjamin sighed sharply, lips set into an eternal expressionless line. "Yes, well, we shall see."


"What the hell do you mean 'they're here!?'" Charlotte demanded, looking out the small window from the second floor of the saloon.

"I mean they're here!" Kate snapped back, shoving her belongings into a bag, "Dammit, I'm sick of running like this," she muttered, moving across the room to grab her rifle. "ANA!!" she shouted through the door to the next room, "get off of that crackerjack, we gotta go!!"

Within a few moments a very unhappy and disheveled Ana opened the door connecting the two rooms, glaring at Kate.

"There a reason you felt the need to interrupt me?" She asked, arms crossing across her chest.

"Pinkertons is comin'!" Shannon interjected walking into the room from the hall entrance, bag slung over her shoulder, riding clothes already on.

"What!" Ana demanded, coming in all the way, shutting the door, She hurried across the floor to stand next to Charlotte, and looked out the window as well, "any sign of them?"

"Not yet, but we need to go." She stood looking back at Shannon who was ready, Kate who was changing, and sighed. "Go get your things Ana."

"Yeah.." Ana nodded uneasily, tearing her gaze away from the window and running into her room. An argument could be heard, then a loud clatter as the client was thrown out into the hall along with all his clothes. Then Ana reappeared in the room, with her pack, gun, and fully dressed in riding clothes.

"How do you do that so fast?" Shannon marveled.

"S'a gift." Ana replied with a smirk.

They all snuck down the back stairs to the stable, getting their bags secured to the horses.

"Where to?" Kate asked, looking at the other women.

"We're going to Yuma." Charlotte said leaving no room for more suggestion.

"Yuma, what in the hell's in Yuma?" Ana asked incredulously.

Charlotte turned to look at her coolly, small smile forming on her normally blank vacant face. "An unsecured bank, and Daniel's inheritance." one might have thought they noticed a saddening of her stone cold face at the mention of her late husband. It was his death that had propelled Charlotte into this life. She had killed his murderer, it just so happened that man was a law man.

"You sure about this?" Kate asked, concern apparent, "Me and the girls are with you no matter what, but, well dontcha they'd be looking for us there?"

"Yeah...maybe we should go to Colorado Springs first, find some work, and money." Shannon offered.

"I vote for that one." Ana interjected, with a devious smirk.

"Course you do Lucy." Kate said with a sardonic smile, "We all know that's where Sawyer skipped town to." She gave a pointed look to Ana, knowing full well it would set the other woman off.

Charlotte jumped in, before anymore jobs were lost because those two had black eyes. "That's enough." she looked back at the three, "We're going to Yuma, but we'll cut through Colorado Springs."

Ana glared at Kate, grinding her teeth to keep from saying something she might regret. "Let's go then." she muttered angrily.

After making sure the path was clear, they set off to Colorado Springs.


Jack Shephard sat at his desk inside his small doctor office. He was servicing the whole of southern Colorado but most specifically Colorado Springs, and he finally had gotten enough time to categorize his newest shipment of medicines.

"Elizabeth," he called, "can you come in here a moment?"

Elizabeth, his assistant, and nurse walked into the room wearing her typical warm smile. "Yes sir?"

Jack smiled briefly, before his face fell back to serious frown. "We're missing eight vials of the antibiotics again. I think that Charlie is still keeping some to sell himself." he rubbed the back of his neck, and sighed. "With the Littletons all sick, I need all can get..." he looked up helplessly at the woman.

"Oh, I see. Well we have enough for the Littleton children right? Perhaps I'll go into town today and see if I can track down Charlie, and see what I might learn." She got a broader smile, "You know he's sweet on the oldest Littleton, perhaps I can persuade hm that his theft might cause her to fall even more ill." she winked at Jack as she saw his face brighten again slightly.

"What would I do without you Libby?"

"You'd be dead from overworking yourself." she added with a wink and laugh, turning to walk back into the front room, just in time to see a woman enter. The woman wore what looked like It might once have been a nice dress, but now it was a bit tattered, and faded. "May I help you?" Libby asked kindly.

The woman with green eyes and a face spattered with freckles, nodded, "Yes, my sister, she, she's sick." Nodding her head to the door where her sister sat on the back of the horse. "I was hoping you could help her?"

"One moment." Libby said, walking back to where Jack was, "Jack, we've got a sick woman who could do with your attention. Don't worry those will all still be here when you get back." she said kindly.

"Alright, I suppose you're right." Jack nodded, standing and walking with Libby into the main room. He halted at the sight of her, not having expected to see such a young, and beautiful woman.

"Its her sister, outside." Libby nodded, not wanting Jack to assume it was this one.

"Of course." he smiled, walking to the door, holding it open for the woman and extending an arm.

Kate had been watching him with slightly widened eyes, she hadn't expected the doctor to be so young, and handsome. She smiled coyly as he held the door open, "Thank you." she nodded, walking out to where her 'sister' Charlotte sat slumped on the horse, moaning and crying. "Dunno what's wrong with her," Kate explained, "she was fine up until three days ago she stops eatin', and then she got all feverish." Kate frowned, causing her forehead to wrinkle up. "Think you can help her, Doc?"

Jack nodded as she spoke, moving towards the red headed woman on the horse. He gently lifted her chin, looking at her eyes, they seemed clear, her head wasn't that warm either. "You say she's feverish? She feels normal to me.." He frowned, needing a second opinion, he called out to Libby. "Elizabeth, can you come out here a moment?

Libby appeared almost instantly, look of concern on her face. "Is everything alright?"

"Well, I'm not seeing what's wrong here, but then again, I've not had much sleep. Maybe I'm missing something." he stepped back to make room for her, "would you?"

Libby nodded, walking to the girl and began inspecting her. Kate sighed in relief now that they were both out. She discretely used a small mirror to signal Ana and Shannon who were waiting in the ally next to the building. Seeing the cue, Ana nodded to Shannon.

"C'mon lets go." She stayed low, running across the ally to the back of the small building. Shannon wasn't far behind, toting a bag with her.

"When I said jobs and money I wasn't exactly thinking this." she hissed in worried tones.

"Shut up and help me." Ana instructed, trying to get the door open. They managed to get the back door open, and quietly snuck in, all the medicines were on a desk, causing both women to smile.

"Finally something goes right." Ana muttered, scooping them up and dumping them in the bag.

"Should we get anything else?" Shannon looked around wide eyes at all the goods in the room.

"No, we stick to the plan..." tossing the last of it in the bag. "Come on lets go." she and Shannon snuck back out the way they came, back across the ally, and signaling Kate as well.

Kate got the signal, coughing, and Charlotte moaned loudly.

"I don't see anything either Doctor.." Libby asserted, having had fully examined the woman, "but perhaps a shot of penicillin wont hurt."

"I think you're right." Jack nodded, "I'll be right back." he walked back into the small building and Kate, motioned for Ana and Shannon to go.

"DAMMIT!" Jack shouted from within, and Libby gave a quick apology to the women, running inside to see what was wrong. Charlotte sat up, scooting forward in the saddle and grabbing the reigns. Kate hurried over, jumping on the back and they took off to their rendezvous point with there comrades.

"I can't believe it worked." Kate said in awe.

"Don't count your chickens Yet." Charlotte spat, hearing shouts from behind them and people saying to call the Pinkertons.

"He's gonna know. That Doctor." Kate said, hanging on tight as they rode, "He saw our faces."

"Well we're gonna have to just deal with that then." Charlotte stated matter of factly, glancing behind them, face going pale. "Ah hell." she moaned.

"What?" Kate looked behind to see the doctor bearing down on them atop his own horse. His face was twisted up into a nasty snarl, and he had his sights set on them. Kate gulped, throat feeling suddenly dry, mind already working over aliases, cover stories, and hoping Ana and Shannon didn't come looking for them.
