Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. Duh.

Author's Note: I am SO sorry. I know it's been, like, who-knows-how-long! I just had NO idea what was going to happen. And honestly, as I'm writing this I still have no idea what's going to happen, but I felt like I owed yall a chapter. So, here we go.

Chapter Ten—I Have an Idea

"Okay, so Ethan has Claire and Boone. What are we going to do about it?" Charlie asked Jack, Locke, and Sayid the following morning.

At this time, the four paused for a moment to think. Locke rubbed the back of his head, Jack put his hands on his hips, Sayid teased the hair on his chin, and Charlie paced. Finally, Locke answered, "Nothing."

"Excuse me?" Sayid questioned.

"Nothing. We're going to wait," Locke repeated.

"How is that going to help the bloody situation?" Charlie demanded.

"Charlie," Jack said. "Relax." Then Jack turned to Locke and said, "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said. Jack, Ethan is smart. He knows we're going to come after them. So, we do the opposite. We don't do anything."

"Well, Locke, that's sodding brilliant!" Charlie said sarcastically. "We're just supposed to wait and let Ethan do something horrible to Claire? Great plan."

"So, what you're proposing is we wait until the opportune moment, when Ethan isn't expecting anything?" Sayid confirmed.

"Exactly," Locke answered.

"Well, Locke, would you mind if that bloody plan of yours doesn't involve Claire dying?" Charlie almost screamed.

"Charlie!" Jack almost screamed back. "Hold on a minute." Jack turned to Locke and said, "I have an idea that would follow Locke's plan."
