Chapter 10: The List

"LET HIM GO!!!" Claire screams.

"You can leave now, Claire. We don't need you. We only need him." says the bearded man.

"Wait a second... How do you know my name?!" Claire exclaims.

"You can leave, Claire." the bearded man says calmly.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me what the bloody heck is going on!" screams Claire.

"There's no reason to be scared, Claire. We don't need you. You can go." the bearded man says.

"But!... But!" Claire says.

"JUST GO!" the bearded man shouts angrily.

The bearded man begins to walk away from Claire, dragging Joseph on the ground. Several other people follow the man.

"WAIT! What's going on!? What are you going to do to him!?" exclaims Claire.

The people continue to walk away from Claire, ignoring her words.

"STOP!!! PLEASE, STOP!!!" screams Claire.

But the people continue to ignore her...

In another area of the jungle, Kate, Jack, Charlie, and Sawyer arrive at the fuselage.

"So, who's going in first?" asks Charlie.

The four don't say anything.

"Oh, I'll go first, ya babies!" Sawyer says.

Just before Sawyer is about to step into the fuselage, a scream sounds in the distance.

"What was that!?" Kate asks in a fearful tone.

"It sounded like Claire!" shouts Jack.

"Are ya sissies gonna come in here or what?" questions Sawyer.

Another scream sounds in the distance.

"That's definitely Claire!" says Charlie.

"You guys, c'mon... We need to find out what's going on." Jack says, motioning for the three to follow him.

"Fine. Lead the way, your majesty." says Sawyer.

Jack gives Sawyer a dirty look.

The four head in the direction of the screams that they'd heard. After about three or four minutes, they come across Claire, her eyes red from crying.

"Claire, what's wrong?" Kate asks.

"They took him!" shouts Claire, her voice shaking.

"Who took who, Claire?" asks Jack.

"THEY took Joseph!" Claire exclaims. "First, one of them wrapped a towel around his mouth, tied his hands around his back, and put a bag on his head! Then, the same guy pushed Joseph onto the ground and began to drag him away! Some others followed the guy, ignoring everything I said!"

"Wait, who are "they"?" Charlie asks.

"I don't know, Charlie! I don't know!" says Claire.

"It's okay, Claire. It's okay." Jack says soothingly, rubbing Claire's back.

"No, it's not, Jack!!!" Claire screams, tearing Jack's hand away from her back.

"Oh, my gosh... Look at this, you guys!" says Kate.

Kate picks up a slip of paper from the ground. The other four gather around her, staring at the paper in horror.

On the paper it says, "THE LIST: Joseph, Charlie, Kate, Sawyer, Jack, and Locke."
