Chapter 3:

Chuck Aule's POV:

"Good night, Jennifer" I tipped my hat towards her slender frame and turned into the dormitories. "What was that about?" I heard Teddy's voice front in front of me and I looked into his eyes, stumbling. I gasped a little over dramatically and muttered "Jeez, Boos. You scared me."

Teddy's eyebrows raised at me suspiciously and I decided to continue talking, to help break the ice between me and him "And what was what about?"

His lips formed into a small smirk and it was then that I realized that he was holding the 'rule of four' piece of paper in his left hand.

I continued walking and Teddy pulled me back by my arm, asking me sharply "What was that little meeting about?" My eyebrows knitted... which meeting? The one between Dr. Cawley, Jennifer and I or the other one between Jennifer and I that was created to make him jealous.

I guessed he was talking about the second but I decided to acted ignorant "Cawley talked to us about the rules of Shutter Island...he said that you knew them already.. and that you were doing a fine job at keeping them...that's why he didn't bother to call you in."

Teddy shook his head and let go my arm, before talking through gritted teeth "You're supposed to be helping me solve this Solando case... not entertaining yourself with nurses." I let out a small snicker while taking off my dress shirt so that I could be comfortable for the night.

I sat down on the bottom bunk bed, in the corner of the room, and said with a grin "Boss, I didn't know you felt so strongly about her. I'm sorry."

Teddy rolled his eyes at me and unbuttoned his shirt. When he talked next, you could tell it was serious... or he was at least trying to be serious, "I don't feel anything for her, Chuck. I just like taking my job seriously and I can see that your not. I don't trust that in a partner."

"I'm sorry, Boss. Why is this job so important to you anyway?" I asked him as I got under the covers of the tiny bed. The first thing I am going to do after this role play finishes is buy bigger beds for the workers here.

I take out a cigarette as my 'Boss' climbs up the small ladder and gets into his bed. He really does not want to answer my question.

"We still are continuing this job, right? I mean... I never quit anything before." I looked at my cigarette as I said this. How ironic.

Teddy pulls the covers over him, the light still on right above him. I sigh loudly and whisper "Well, if it helps at all... all she could talk about was you." I smiled at no one in particular and I could feel Teddy move the covers above me. He suddenly closed the light and scoffed.

The last thing I heard from him was "good night, Chuck." and then he and I both drifted off to sleep. Hmm... I wonder what exactly he would dream about tonight? About the fake Laedias? His wife? The apartment in Boston? We'll see... I'll have to ask him in the morning. I wasn't going to lie... his dreams were sure as hell interesting. Horrible... but interesting.

Teddy Daniels POV:

There she was. My beautiful blond wife. Everything around us in our Boston apartment was coloured yellow like her beautiful hair and dress. She was holding a bottle of alcohol in her hands and mumbling something about it. I opened my mouth and something about me killing people in war came out. It's like I couldn't control myself.

I stuttered as I reached out to touch her face but that's when something really strange happened.

I felt a warm hand upon my shoulder and a soft voice from behind me that whispered "Teddy... I'm here for you." I turned around to see Nurse Jennifer Brown standing there covered in blood. I gasped at the sight of her with the droplets of blood covering her soft features and her white nurse uniform.

I could feel Dolorous' hand now resting on my left shoulder and she whispered "Teddy, this place is going to be the end of you."

Nurse Jennifer Brown smiled at me and cupped my cheek in her small hand. Dolorous spoke again from behind me "She is going to be the end of you." I turned to Dolorous, whose full rib area was turning to black ash. I shook my head at her and whispered, while pulling her closer to me "No... she won't be, baby." Dolorous nodded and it suddenly began raining in the room.

Nurse Jennifer Brown stood directly behind me. I could feel her breath on my neck and as she whispered softly "Teddy... I'm here for you." I shook my head and held Dolorous closer in my arms. I wanted my wife back. I needed her. She was my air.

"Rachel is still here, Teddy." Dolorous' words rang through my ears and I nodded, pulling her back into my stomach. I placed my hands upon her ribcage as a waterfall full of water began to drop down to her feet. I wanted to kiss her better... I wanted to kiss her alive.

"She's just bones in a box, Teddy." Jennifer's voice echoed loudly and suddenly Dolorous' body faded into nothing.

The room around me began to grow flames but somehow neither Jennifer or myself were being engulfed by the fumes.

I turned around to face Nurse Jennifer Brown who was now wearing the same yellow dress Dolorous just had. She touched my face softly and I slowly started to bring my hands upwards.

She held my hands in hers, in an upward fashion, while she spoke in a mere whimper "Andrew..."

That was when I woke up, terrified. My hands were in the same upward position, except that they were wet and not holding Jennifer's hands. I shook my head and looked up to see a hole in the roof. What a strange dream.

"There won't be a ferry in that shit," an orderly spoke from across the room. I sighed and looked down into my partners bed to see him... not there. I asked the orderly "Hey... where's Chuck?"

The orderly shrugged his shoulders and answered back in a calm voice "Said he was meeting with some nurse this morning for breakfast. He didn't want me to wake you."

Nurse Jennifer Brown, huh?

The orderly nodded.... had I said her name out loud. I rubbed my eyes.. I could have sworn I was thinking it.

The orderly laughed and said "You better hurry, Marshal."

"Hurry? For what?"

"He's going to steal your girl."

What was he talking about? My girl was dead. Lighting suddenly struck outside and I saw that the storm was getting worse.

I got out of my bed and put on my dress shirt from last night, as I heard a voice from behind me call out "Your awake, Boss."

Chuck had a huge smile across his face. Had he already managed to seduce her? My head stung with pain. Damn these headaches!

"Yes, I'm awake... now, are we going to solve this thing or what?"

I was beginning to lose my patience with this man. At first, I liked him... but now, did I really think he was trust worthy? Not really... to be honest.

"First, I want to talk to you about something...." he said that strangely, as if he were a shrink or something.

I nodded, putting on my tie. Chuck continued "You see... Jennifer and I-"

I cut him off "-not interested."

Chuck looked at me baffled and continued "But-"

"Chuck... do you really think I care about what you got going on between you two? I came here to solve a case. Now, I thought you did too... but as it turns out, I think you've forgotten all about Rachel Salondo-"

"Boss," Chuck stiffened and then continued in a strict tone, "Jennifer and I found Rachel... this morning, by the cliffs."

This was one of those moments in life that just blew your mind. I nodded at him, and placed my hand on his shoulder, while muttering "I'm sorry, Chuck. It's just that-"

"It's okay, Boss." He took my hat off the hat stand and passed it to me while saying "Nothing is going on between Jennifer and I. I could never do that to you. I respect you too much."

To me? What the hell was he talking about? Why did everyone one this island think that I liked her? I mean... so what if I flirted... every man did that with a beautiful woman sometimes.

I decided to stand up for myself "Chuck, I told you that I don't think of her that way."

"That's right.. you just dream of her that way."

I froze and he continued "You talk in your sleep, Boss."

And I froze again.

Please Review!

The next part will finally have some real Teddy/Jennifer interaction.

Thank you!
