A/N So here's the next chapter. I don't think it's as good as the first but whatever. Thanks to those who reviewed the other one you made me write this one. I also tried to make this one fit in with peoples back story's some clues are more obvious than others! (Depends how much you watch Lost) Hope you like it and REVIEW!
A crowd gathered round as Jack and Desmond stood there staring at each other.
"Look!" Sun said pointing out to the ocean.
Everyone gasped as they saw a helicopter on the horizon.
Jack looked around at everyone. Everyone was looking at him. It was his choice.
"Jack, trust me brother" Desmond said.
The helicopter grew closer.
"Sayid, get the guns" Jack ushered.
Sayid ran off collecting the guns.
"Everyone move into the jungle."
He looked at everyone still stood there staring.
"Quickly" he yelled as everyone headed as a group into the cover of the trees.
The helicopter was growing closer and closer.
Sayid handed out the few guns that they had.
They all huddled together as a group with the men that had guns around the outside.
"I'm going to the beach, if it's safe I'll come back for you" Jack said breathlessly.
"And if it's not?" Kate asked.
"Run" Jack replied. "If you hear gunshot's run, don't come back for me"
"I'll come with you" Sayid said with Kate, Sawyer and Jin repeating the same thing.
"No!" Jack snapped. "You need to protect the group"
Jack walked off with his gun in the back of his trousers.
They watched him leave.
"James?" Sayid asked Sawyer. "Ye" he replied.
"Are you up for covering him from the trees?"
"Hell yeah" Sawyer replied. Walking forward to see what was going on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack walked out to an open area on the beach.
He watched the water ripple as the Helicopter hovered over the beach preparing to land.
Jacks heart started racing. He looked up to the helicopter. The windows were blacked out. It landed on the beach. Jack stood back from it hoping: praying that they had just been rescued.
The door slowly opened and a man appeared.
He had short black hair and wore a dark suit. "You Jack Shepard?"
He asked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, it's about time" he smiled relieved and shocked.
"I'm Minkowski" the man asked.
There was a silence as Jack stared at the man. All of a sudden the man whipped out a gun and shot Jack.
Jack fell to the sand.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sayid and Sawyer looked at each other. Sawyer went to walk out but Sayid grabbed him back. "Not yet"
The rest of the group heard the gunshot, they had to do what Jack had told them- run.
They all moved as fast as they could trying to stick together. Kate and Juliet didn't run.
Everyone had run apart from them, Sawyer and Sayid. They pulled out their guns and headed towards Sayid and Sawyer.
"Damn it Freckles run!" Sawyer told her.
She ignored him and yelled "Let's go".
They moved further and further out of the trees. They shot at Minkowski and hit him. Four other men poured out of the helicopter. Kate ran over to Jack he was out. "Kate!" Sawyer yelled as a tall guy shot at her. She got hit and fell down next to Jack. Sawyer shot him and along with Sayid who shot the other one. Juliet had a firing match with the final one and finally got a hit in his foot. When he went down she shot him in the chest. Sawyer and Sayid ran up to Jack and Kate. "Kate!" he yelled shaking her. He pulled her off Jack and Juliet put pressure on Jacks wound.
Sawyer then heard a click and felt the barrel of a gun pointing to his head.
There must have been another man on the helicopter. He shouldn't have had his back towards the helicopter.
"Stand up!" he told him. Sawyer stood up and him and the 3 of them followed orders and put their guns down.
"Get me the phone" the man said pointing towards Jack. Sawyer walked slowly towards Jack and pulled the phone out of his pocket he handed it to the man.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack opened his eyes. His arm was hurting. He looked slowly to the side to see Sawyer at gunpoint. He looked next to him to see Kate lying next to him. He felt like he couldn't move. But he had to. He slowly reached for his gun which he was laying on pulled it out and slowly aimed. Even if he shot accurately Sawyer might get shot. He pointed the gun and fired. He closed his eyes hoping he hadn't missed his target.
He opened his eyes to see him fall down. Sawyer moved away quickly. Jack forced himself up and leaned over Kate. "Kate" he whispered as he cradled her in his arms. He put his hands over her stomach trying to stop the bleeding. She had been shot in her stomach.
"I'm going to save you" he whispered as he scooped her up carrying her to the nearest tent, struggling with the pain of his own arm.
Sawyer ran into the tent carrying medical supplies.
Jack lifted her tee-shirt to just above her stomach and checked the wound. There was no exit wound the bullet was still in her.
She was loosing blood. Sawyer sat next to her and held her hand.
Her eyes fluttered open then closed. Juliet rushed in asking if she could help. She assisted Jack as he tried to remove the bullet. He sewed her up and hoped she'd be okay. Him and Sawyer sat by her side.
"She going to be alright doc?" he asked.
"I hope so" Jack replied as he went to stand outside the tent needing some air.
Jack saw the camp walking up the beach led by Sayid. He must have gone to get them.
"Hey" Juliet say's approaching him.
"Hey" he replies.
She touches his arm. He flinches. "You need to get that sorted." She says.
"The bullet hasn't hit anything major. I'm the only doctor; I can't remove a bullet from my own arm."
She smiled.
"Come here" she said urging him to sit down on the sand. He did and she dressed his wound.
As she finished he stood up and walked into the tent where Kate lay. Sawyer walked out. He checked her breathing and checked the wound giving her some medication. She opened her eyes.
"Jack" she whispered.
He looked at her and grabbed her hand. "It's okay, I'm going to fix you" he whispered. She closed her eyes again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Claire sat at her tent cradling Aaron. She looked out at the water.
Her eyes skimmed the shoreline where the waves broke onto the sand.
Her eye was drawn to a figure standing in the water. Her vision cleared and she saw it was Charlie. He was dripping wet. She stepped out and walked towards him with Aaron in her arms. The closer she got to him the further away he seemed get. Her feet became wetter and wetter as she walked further into the waves. "Charlie" she yelled out to him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Desmond sat staring at the water. Hurley walked up to him and sat next to him. "So, Desmundo, have you had any flashy things lately?" he asked trying to make conversation. Desmond ignored him. "Charlie" he heard Claire yell. He turned his head to see Claire walking into the waves with Aaron in her arms. He jumped up and ran in her direction.
"Claire" he shouted to her. She ignored him. He ran in after her. Aaron began to cry as the water almost reached him yet she carried on walking. Desmond ran in to her. "Claire" he said standing next to her.
"It's Charlie!" she said to him.
Desmond looked at her confused. Water splashed the baby.
Claire looked at the fading Charlie then blacked out.
Desmond tried grabbing Claire and Aaron but he couldn't get them both. "Hurley!" he yelled. He looked out to the beach to see Jack running into the water. "Get the baby" Desmond said to Jack thrusting him into his arms as he grabbed Claire.
Jack carried the baby onto the sand as Desmond followed carrying Claire. He laid her down onto the beach. Jack kneeled next to her checking her breathing. He cleared her airway and she spluttered up water gasping for breath. He checked over Aaron who seemed fine.
"Where's Charlie gone?" she asked.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack headed back to Kate's tent. He checked on her and she had woken up. "How are you?" he asked. "Sore" she replied.
"When will you ever listen to what I say?" he joked.
She smiled. "Guess they were the bad guys?" she asked.
"Ye" he replied.
"So, what do we do now?" she asked him.
"You get better while I go talk to Ben" he stated.
He walked out of the tent and bumped into Juliet. "Will you watch her and get me if anything happens?" he asked she smiled and nodded.
He started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" she shouted to him.
"I'm going to talk to Ben" he shouted back to her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Desmond walked up to Claire's tent. "Are you okay?" he asks.
She looks distant.
Look I'm thinking about having a memorial for Charlie.
Claire ignores him. It'll be tonight at sunset.
"I'm not coming." She say's bluntly.
"Why?" he asks her.
"Because Charlie isn't dead"
"Claire, he died, I saw him drown with my own eyes" he replied softly.
"I don't believe he is dead, until I see his body Charlie is alive he is just lost." She says to him.
"Then I'm going to go back, to the looking glass. And I'll bring his body back." He stood up and walked away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So dude, does it work?" Hurley asked Sayid as he stood at the opening of the helicopter.
"It may, but even if I can fix the damage the bullets caused I'm guessing not many people know how to fly a helicopter."
Hurley smiled. "I kind of do"
"What?" Sayid looked at him shocked
"Like, back at my mom's before I won… well I had this video game and I never really crashed!"
Sayid looked at Hurley confused.
"As I said not many people know how to fly a real helicopter" Sayid began fiddling with some buttons.
"Whatever man" Hurley turned and stepped off the Helicopter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello Jack" Ben said coyly as Jack approached the tree he was tied to.
"Tell me" he stared at him angrily.
"Tell you what?" he asked
"Don't play games"
"I'm not the one playing games Jack, I warned you"
Jack stared at him.
"It's your fault the girl got shot."
"Shut up!" Jack yelled at him.
Jack pinned his neck against the tree but pulled away.
"Temper, temper Jack"
"Don't" Jack paused "Don't talk to me like you know me!"
"I do know you Jack, I probably know more about you than you do" he smiled slyly.
"Is that so?" he asked
"Yes" he simply replied.
"I know that you're ex wife is getting re-married"
Jack looked at him upset.
"I know where the man lives, where he works, and his name. I know that she is carrying his child"
Jack looks at him distraught.
"I know the real reason you're father died and I know about his second family"
Jack looks at him shocked.
"You're lying" he looks disgusted.
"Is that so" Ben smiles.
"I know that you're father quite a long time ago had a fling in Australia with which a child was conceived. And that very same child is stranded on this island the same as you"
Jack looks at him confused.
"You're lying" he repeats.
Ben shrugs.
Jack starts to walk away.
"How well do you know Claire?" Ben shouts to him.
Jack ignores him and walks away.

Sawyer walks into Kate's tent.
"Feeling better?" he asks.
"Yeah" she says sitting up.
"Jack says I'll be fine, that I'm recovering fast" she smiles.
He looks down.
"Fancy a walk" he asks.
"Sure" she replies. He helps her up and they walk out of the tent.
They walk along the shoreline talking.

"Jack" Sayid runs up to an angry looking Jack.
"Yes?" he asks
"I think I can get the helicopter running"
"How long?"
"A day or so" he replies. "In the meantime I suggest you try and find someone who can fly it"
"I already have" Jack answers mysteriously.
"Who?" he asks
"Me" he replies walking off.

A/N so there it was the next chapter!
If you have any ideas on the story that would be great!
What do you think of: Jate? Skate? Sawyer and Juliet? Danielle and Sayid? Should I bring Locke into it after he left them up at the radio tower? Should I bring the others into it? Should they get rescued? Should Ben die? Should anyone die? What should happen with Danielle and Alex? Alex and Carl? Walt and Michael?
So many Questions! PLEASE REVIEW!
Thanks for reading
