Chapter 7: Captured

It was a warm, sunny day, as usual, on the Island and Jack and Morgan decided to take a walk through the jungle. The jungle was a good place to take a walk in; it had shady trees, cool air, and beautiful plant-life. Morgan, of course, had her baby with her. The only thing that struck Jack as unusual is that Morgan had a black, 9mm handgun stuck in the back of her green army pants with the handle sticking out.

"Why do you carry that?" Jack asked, motioning to the handgun.

"You never know when you might need protection on an Island like this." Morgan answered.

"Mmm." Jack said, nodding his head, "Have you thought of a name for the baby yet?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna name her Heidi." Morgan answered.

"That's a pretty name." Jack said, "I have a cousin named Heidi."

"Oh, really?" Morgan asked.

Jack nodded. As they continued on their walk, they suddenly heard a rustling noise.

"Wait. What was that?" Jack asked, stopping.

"What?" Morgan asked.

They heard it again. They looked up and saw that it was only a bird in a tree. Just as they relaxed from thinking it was someone else, they were taken by surprise. A rock flew through the air and hit Jack hard on the head, knocking him unconscious.

"Jack!" Morgan gasped, kneeling down beside him.

She shook him, but he didn't wake up. Morgan heard a twig snap and she quickly took out her gun.

"Who's there?" she asked.

Someone ran up behind her and grabbed her, taking her gun and covering her mouth. Morgan's scream was muffled under the man's hand. Another man ran out from behind a bush and took Heidi away from her.

"NO! NO, GIVE ME MY BABY!!" Morgan screamed, struggling.

The man holding Morgan hit her over the head very hard with her gun and she went limp, unconscious...

Morgan groggily opened her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her head. She was laying uncomfortably on her side on a hard, cold floor. She sat up and saw that she was in a small cage. The bars were shiny metal and the floor wasn't concrete, as she expected, but white tile. There was a surveillance camera in the top corner of the cage. She could see out into the jungle, but there was a room over the cage. She stood up and walked over to the bars of the cage, trying to figure out where she was. Just then, the door on the opposite side of the cage opened and a man in a long, white doctor's coat stepped in.

"Ah, I see you're awake." he said.

"What have you done with my baby?" Morgan asked immediately.

"You need not worry about her; she is in good hands." the man said.

"I doubt any of you are considered 'good hands'." Morgan spat back.

The man chuckled, "If you do not believe me, I'll show you. Follow me."

Morgan reluctantly followed the man out of her cage and down a series of hallways to a glass window looking into another room. In the room, Morgan could see Heidi laying in a small bed hooked up to all kinds of machines.

"What are you doing to her?" Morgan asked in concern.

"Monotoring her." the man answered, "If you will come with me, I will explain."

The man lead her down another series of hallways to his office.

"Have a seat." the man said, offering Morgan a chair in front of his desk.

Morgan sat down as the man walked over to the other side of the desk and sat down in his own chair.

"Why have you brought me here?" Morgan asked.

"You see, here at the Staff, we are conducting a series of experiments to figure out why being pregnant is a danger on this Island." the man explained, "And, obviously, we need women for that subject."

Morgan looked at him suspiciously.

"While you were here previously, you made a very good subject for our experiments, but you ran away and had your baby and we have brought you back to the Staff in order to continue our experiments."

"What experiments would that be?" Morgan asked.

"We intend to get you pregnant again by way of invetro fertilization." the man explained.

"Don't you even think about it!" Morgan exclaimed.

"Oh, we fully intend to go through with this whether you like it or not." the man said.

"What kind of devil are you?!" Morgan asked, disgusted.

"I think it's quite time for you to go back to your cage now." the man said.

As he said that, two other men walked in and grabbed up Morgan, dragging her back to her cage.

Jack ran throug the jungle, his heart racing from worry and from running. When he had woken up and saw that Morgan and Heidi were gone, he took off without going back to the beach to get help. He saw footprints going in three different directions and all he could do was follow them on at a time. The group that captured Morgan and Heidi had obviously split up to confuse him. He had been desperately searching for tree or four hours now with no luck and it had begun to ran very hard. Tears of worry were beginning to run down his cheeks. Gradually his running slowed down and he collapsed from exhaustion. First to his knees, then, unable to keep himself up, he fell flat on the ground. As he layed there, gasping for breath, his mind wandered and he saw something that could not possibly be real.

He saw a bright light shine from behind a group of trees and a tall, beautiful, black horse rode from behind the trees carrying a rider. The rider gracefully dismounted and jack saw that it was Morgan. She was arrayed in a long, white dress that clung to her body from the rain. Jack could see directly through the dress to her curvaceous body. Her hair was soaked with water and it stuck to her shoulders in clumps. She slowly walked over to Jack and knelt down next to him. she lightly ran her hand across his cheek to his neck and over his back.

"Don't give up." she whispered, "Find me."

She pointed towards the third set of footprints leading off into the jungle.

The vision slowly faded away and Jack felt a new energy rush through him and he felt as if he could run a hundred miles. He pulled himself up from the ground and ran in the direction Morgan had pointed. He was determined to find Morgan and heidi if it was the last thing his did...
