Due to the need to have Naomi come into the picture from episode…18 "D.O.C", I think, I have made it so that Desmond, Charlie, and Jin are returning. Because I'm cool like that.
Thanks for the reviews! Love you all!
As Kate rushed out of the tent, hands covering her eyes, she was stopped short. She had walked right into something. She looked up through blurred eyes at a man's chest. She quickly used the back of her hand to wipe away her eyes so she could see properly as she looked up into their eyes.
"Hey, sorry." Jack said, taking a small step back. She tried to look down, but he had already seen her tears. Hesitantly, he asked, "You okay?"
"Oh. Yeah." She replied. "I'm fine."
"Okay." He gave her a small glance. It was odd. The way he looked at her was…almost like sympathy, like regret. She watched him as he disappeared into the tent.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Hurley standing outside his shelter. What was he doing? After wiping up her eyes, she made her way casually over to him. "Hi Hurley. When did you get back?"
"This morning." He replied, nervously.
"What are you doing?"
"Nuthin." He replied looking around.
"Yeah, because it sure looks like nothing." She said, looking at him in the eye.
He was about to open his mouth when Charlie stepped out of the shelter. "'Ello Kate." He greeted her, glancing at Kate. "You tell her?" Kate heard him whisper silently to Hurley.
"No." Answered Hurley, trying to be quiet. "But I think she knows something's up." Replied Hurley.
Kate looked form Charlie to Hurley and crossed her arms. "Tell me what?"
Charlie sighed. "Okay, we'll tell. Just promise not to tell Jack."
"Why can't I tell Jack?" Kate inquired. Charlie gave her a small look. "Okay, fine."
"A woman parachuted from a helicopter onto the island." Explained Charlie, quietly.
"What?!?" Kate pushed her way past Charlie and into the tent. She stopped short as she saw this woman laying there, with Desmond sitting beside her. "I want to know everything."

"We have to tell Jack." Kate argued after Desmond had explained everything. Except for his ability to see the future, of course.
"Fine! Tell him. Just, don't let Juliet know." He said.
Kate turned around and immediately headed for Jack. He was sitting down next to Juliet, on the beach. "I need to talk to you." She said, straight forward.
"Okay. What?" He asked her, looking up.
Kate glanced at Juliet. "Alone." She said.
"Anything thing you need to say to me, you can say it in front of her." Juliet protested that she could leave, but Jack stopped her.
"Alright, fine. She might as well here, since she is the reason nobody wanted to tell you that there is a woman in Hurley's tent, who parachuted onto the island!" Kate fired at him.
Jack looked a little taken aback and surprised. "Why didn't anyone tell me?" He asked, as if she didn't just tell him.
"Because they don't trust you." She answered, gentlier.
Jack looked at Juliet for a moment. "We should tell her." She persisted.
"No. Not now." Argued Jack, as he stood up.
"Tell me what?" Asked Kate, but Jack started walking away.

Kate sat at the small little man-made counter, eating a small bowl of fruit. She knew something was missing, but she couldn't quite place her finger on it. Her eyes gazed around just before they fell on Sawyers tent.
Where was Sawyer? Kate hadn't seen him since the night before. For some reason, she didn't really care where he was. She almost laughed out loud as she imagined him stuck in a net with no way to get down. How funny that would be.
But, she also didn't see Jack. Nor Juliet. As if she cared where she was. But, usually wherever she was, Jack was. It had been a full night before she had told Jack. Sayid finally gave in and let Juliet free to roam around the beach, but she didn't seem to be on the beach the other day either. Neither was Sun.
Sun was back now, but as soon as Juliet has come back, she was off again. Kate shrugged. Who cared?
Ahhh! Short chapter! I am having major writers block! Bare with me. I promise the next chapter will be equally longer and better. Remember, R&R!
