These problems we face

A dull ache shoot through Kate as she and Jack were forcefully shoved so they would sit in the cold metal seats. The voices around them were muffled out by the irritating bags placed over their heads. Kate wanted desperately to reach for Jack's hand for reassurance, let her know he was there and he was alright. She shuffled in her chair and leaned back. Eventually after what felt like forever the bag was removed. She squinted her eyes as the light flooded into them. Looking around she saw Jack smiling softly at her, letting her know silently everything would be okay.

"Well well. We meet again" Ben said mockingly. Jack knitted his eyebrows at him.

"What do you want with us?" He asked bitterly.

"Were going to make use of you both" He said simply. "See we need some jobs doing and who better to do them, than the captives" Kate's head snapped up at he word captive, she was a prisoner. The thing she never wanted to be, she tried to run so she wouldn't be a prisoner but it all caught up on her. She was imprisoned. Jack noticed the change in Kate at that sentence.

"Kate?" She heard Jack's voice. She looked at him. "You okay?" She smiled at his caring nature, and nodded softly at him.

"Heart warming, it really is" Ben sneered at them. Jack tore his gentle gaze away from Kate to glare at their captor. "I mean I was hoping you two would end up together."

"Were not a couple" Jack said almost instantly. Kate looked over at him hurt filling her. He only say them as friends. Nothing more. Jack on the other hand wished he was agree with Ben, on this one occasion. He glanced at Kate to see her drift her eyes away from him. Looking anywhere but at Jack's face.

"What do we have to do?" Kate asked, hurt filling her once lively tone. Ben came closer to her face. She could feel his breath hitting her cheek. Kate clenched her teeth hoping soon enough that the feeling would be gone.

"Well Katherine, you have to go down to a 'yard' of sorts." He moved back and pointed his index finger at her. "You cut them loose" and then to Jack. "And you haul them out of there"

"Hold on a minute" All eyes turned to Kate. "You expect me to work?" They nodded.

"Yes"

"I'm not finished" He nodded. "You expect me to work… In a dress?" Pickett took some steps towards her.

"Its up to you Kate" He raised an eyebrow suggestively. "You can take it off if you want" Ben stifled a laugh. Kate looked over helplessly at Jack.

"How dare you?" He asked, his tone filled with anger. "Give her some Jeans or we wont work at all" Pickett smirked.

"No. We wont and if you don't work you will be shocked." Their eyes widened at the news. "That's the rule"

"Any other rules?" Kate asked bitterly.

"Yes" He nodded. "Ten minutes for Lunch, no other breaks. You try to run off you will be shocked. You want to ask a question, at any time you raise your hand" His hand rose, setting an example. "You talk to each other, touch each other, or just piss me off you will be shocked." His voice was angry and had risen. He took a deep breath. "Under stand?" Both Jack and Kate nodded.

"So am I getting jeans or what?" Ben, Pickett and Tom all looked at each other.

"No" Ben said firmly. "Okay let them out" Tom nodded and took off their hand cuffs. Both of them rubbed their sore wrists. Kate's had been a lot tighter and was cut and bleeding.

"I will get you some antiseptic" Kate nodded. They were both raised to their feet and led away. Kate suddenly realised something, or some one she hadn't even given a second thought to since she found Jack. But guilt soon over took her.

"Where's Sawyer?" She asked Ben before they reached the door. Jack couldn't help but feel the pit of his stomach churn at the concern in her tone. Jealousy suddenly over flowed him, he hated Sawyer. He was always with Kate, taking her from him all the time. Jack didn't think it was fair, he met her first. "That's is Shepherd act like a child. What are you, twelve?" He scorned himself. He knew he couldn't stop Kate talking to him. He would always be there. "You can't stop her anyway, even if you wanted to. She is not yours" He sighed.

"He's alive, Kate. That's all you need to know" She was pushed towards the door.

"I wont work until I see him" She said to Pickett. He closed the gap between them. Fear rose in her. She watched him pull a device from a pocket on his shirt. He moved it in her direction but before it touched her, he moved his hand to shock Jack. Jack screamed in pain and fell back. Kate gasped and went to his side. She grabbed his arm and help to get him back to his feet. He groaned as she tried to help him up.

"That was only a quarter charge" He warned. He headed towards the door. Kate had tears welling in her eyes, Jack saw them and offered her a smile.

"Oh Jack I am so sorry." She placed a chaste kiss on his forehead, leaving Jack with a huge grin on his face. She helped him to his feet and leaned up to hug him tightly. "I'm sorry" Jack nodded and rubbed his hand up and down her back trying to comfort her. She was hysterical, Jack knew she didn't mean for them to do that. They were just bastards.

"Don't be, its not your fault Kate" She pulled her head back from the crook of his neck and smiled at him. He smiled back softly. As Kate looked in his eyes she hardly realised they were leaning towards each other. She gulped as his breath tickled her cheek. They lips were centimetres apart, each others breath softly touching the others face. When theirs name were been called out, they pulled away reluctantly. With a nervous chuckle Jack walked out the door with Kate following. He watched her carefully as she walked. The dress she wore, hugged all her curves. A smile come to Jack's face. He was glad she wasn't given jeans now. He also had wished she had taken Pickett up on his offer but soon he was pushing all them thoughts of her out his head, saving himself the torment she was causing him. This was their first time walking around with out the bag and handcuffs on. Kate preferred it. She looked around at the people as she was been led to the yard. There was so many people. One woman caught her eyes. She was a tall woman, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She seemed to be smiling at Jack. Kate looked back to see Jack smiling back. Kate clenched her jaw and walked faster. She could feel the eyes of all the people on her. Jack saw her begin to walk faster and decided to catch up with her. He quickened his pace and was soon walking next to Kate shoulder to shoulder. She looked up at him, he smiled softly at her and all she offered was a ghost of a smile before looking away again.

"What's up?" He asked softly. She looked at him and shook her head.

"Nothing" She lied. Jack shook his head.

"Don't lie to me Kate, please"

"I just… This place, its worse than the beach Jack. I thought that was crazy but this is something else" Her voice broke as she spoke. Kate felt so alone at that minute, as if reading her thoughts Jack spoke up.

"I'm here" She smiled at him. "I'll keep you safe Katie I promise" He took hold of her hand. Kate smiled down at their entwined hands, she had wished for this, them together.

"Thanks Jack." She carried on smiling unable to wipe it off her face. Then something clicked. "Did you call me Katie?" She asked unsure. Jack looked at her, seeing she was uneasy, he didn't know how to answer.

"Ermm yeah"

"Only Tom ever called me that" Jack knew all about Tom. Kate had told him after the case incident.

"I'm sorry" She shook her head.

"No, don't be. Its sounds right when you say it." Jack smiled and gave her hand a squeeze. Pickett looked back at them and growled.

"I said don't touch each other" He snapped. Jack and Kate pulled their hands away. Pickett grabbed Kate's shoulders and pushed her in front of him. Jack was still behind him. It didn't take long to get to their destination. Tom went to get the picks. "Okay this is where your working. Kate you see those rocks over there" He pointed and Kate followed his direction with her eyes.

"Yes" There were a lot of rocks but the ones he was pointing to stuck out. It was the largest pile of rocks in the yard.

"That's where you start" She nodded and waited for Tom to return. When he did, he passed it to her trying not to hurt her wrists. But the weight of it was hurting her already. She looked over at the rocks and then back.

"Do I start now?" Pickett nodded and Kate walked away towards the rocks. Jack watched her, hating to see her in pain, and miserable.

"Right I better get back"

"Back?"

"Home before Ben the slave driver asks for anything else." Pickett laughed and nodded at him.

"See you mate"

"Bye" Jack watched them. they acted as any men would, joking, lazy and just friends. But these weren't any men, they were all evil. He knew that after what they did to him. He would never see them as men anymore, just monsters. He knew he had to protect Kate from them. He wouldn't let her go through what he had been through.

"Right you" Pickett snapped. "You will help her move them. Then after Kate goes back to her cage. You come with us!"

"Why!?" Jack asked. he didn't know why he asked. He knew where he was going.

"You know why doc." Jack shivered with fright. Something he rarely ever did. "Now go to work." Jack sighed, hoping this day would drag on. He turned to see Kate hitting away at the rocks. His heart broke when he saw her wince when she had to bring her wrists back. His felt an ache in his lower region as the dress rose up her thighs. Groaning, Jack walked towards her. Knowing not to say anything he just helped her loosen the most difficult ones. He pulled the first few away and moved them to the place he was meant to. Kate watched him in amazement. He was perfect, in everyway. He was an absolute gentleman.

"Jack your amazing" She whispered to herself as she hit the rock. Unknown to her Jack had heard her.

"Not as amazing as you" He whispered in her ear as he walked past her to pick up another rock. Kate watched carefully as he bent over to get one. He noticed her watching him, so he looked back. "You checking me out?" Kate giggled.

"Oh yeah" Jack raised his eyebrow and smiled at her. He laughed and moved the rocks away. Kate giggled to herself as she picked at the rocks. They day went quick much to Jack's dismay. He and Kate spent all day, laughing and Joking. Despite working and injuring himself, he loved been with Kate. Pickett soon came for them. Kate was lead back to the cages. She watched as they led Jack away from her.

"Jack?" She asked herself. "JACK" She shouted. They didn't stop but Jack turned his head and smiled at her. Kate nodded and let them put her back in the cage. Then she sat, and waited for her Jack to return to her, safe and sound.

Jack was led to a huge room, the same room as yesterday. He recognized everything, all the instruments laying on the sides everywhere. He sat in the chair in the middle. Then the blonde woman walked in.

"Hello Jack"

"Juliet" He nodded. He watched her as she moved to the side and picked them up again. Jack sighed he knew what was coming next. She asked him again and his answer was the same. Jack closed his eyes and let the images of Kate fill his head, helping him through this.
