Three long days had passed since the incident in the hatch, and now Ana found herself sitting on the beach alone, staring out at the ocean. She craned her neck to look at the new tent they had managed to build for Eko, who was still unconcious four days after arriving back at camp, injured and delirious. Libby, who was now the closest thing to a Doctor they had, was tending to Eko, cleaning up his wounds and bandaging them.

Sawyer hadn't talked to any of them since they'd returned from the hatch. And after killing four of them down there, Ana understood why. He had always acted indifferent towards everyone, but now whenever Ana saw him he would glare up at her, the anger burning in his eyes, and she would get chills. Everyone had steered well clear of Sawyer, for nobody wanted to start any fights. Not now.

As for Colleen, they had tied her up as much as they could, and for about a day or so Ana and Locke had been interrogating her. Naturally she had refused to talk. The fact that she was remaining silent, even when Ana had leaned over and spat in her face, was becoming increasingly frustrating. Boy, where was Sayid when you needed him?

It was a while before Libby walked up. "Hey," She said placidly, sitting down next to her. "Ana.. that woman, she's not saying anything, is she?" Ana didn't reply, and saw Libby bite her lip nervously.

"She's not saying anything because she's trying to fuck with us," Ana said viciously, rounding on the blonde. "She's trying to cause us even more pain than she already has."

Libby said nothing to this.

"Look," Ana said restlessly, "How's Eko? How is he?"

"Touch and go right now," Libby stated, as if she were actually a real Doctor, "I'm surprised I managed to do anything for him. I'm not exactly as qualified as Jack--" She broke off, that nervous look returning to her features again.

Ana frowned. "Okay.. but he's gonna be okay, right?"

"I think so," Libby said, "He's not seriously injured. Nothing's broken, and those antibiotics from the hatch worked wonders on his shoulder."

"That's good."

"Sawyer.." Libby glanced back at Sawyer's tent and saw him sitting, staring sightlessly out at the ocean. "What exactly happened in the hatch, Ana? You haven't told us." She gave Ana a grave look, and Ana sighed impatiently.

"Okay.. fine. He killed some of them." Ana said truthfully, closing her eyes momentarily before opening them. "Down in the hatch.. there were about five of them. He got four of them. And Colleen.." The name left a bad taste in Ana's mouth, "She hasn't talked. And if she doesn't start talking soon.."

"Ana," Libby caught her arm, "Don't do anything stupid."

"I'm only going to do what's right," Ana replied coldly. Libby recoiled, looking frightened. Ana sighed and didn't look at her. She was scared, too, just like the rest of them. But they would find out where the Others were from Colleen. And when they did, there would be hell to pay.

"What are we going to do? When we get rescued."

Jin looked up at her and sighed. "If we get rescued," He said to her, standing up.

"Don't say that," Sun said sharply to him, wondering why he was suddenly being so negative when before he had been desperate to get them off this island. "Anyway.. thanks for helping me. You know, here, with the garden."

Jin smiled. "Well, there's not much else to do around here, is there?" He said.

Sun sighed. "You know I think there's something they're not telling us. They spend so much time in the hatch nowadays. I mean Jack, John and Ana-Lucia. And Sayid. I was sure he of all people would have told us something by now." She paused. "I think they're keeping someone down there."

"Don't be stupid, Sun. They wouldn't keep that a secret from us."

Sun frowned. She wasn't stupid. Maybe Jack and the others had their reasons for not telling the rest of them about what was going on down there, but they had a right to know. And Sun would ask, as soon as she saw one of them. She didn't want to be in the dark.

"Sun?"

Sun looked up. "What is it?" She said pensively.

"I'm sorry. I love you." Jin said apologetically, kneeling down again. He placed a hand affectionately on her stomach. "I love both of you."

Sun blushed and placed her hand on his, squeezing it tight.

-----------------------------------------------

Now, Sun stared blankly down at her garden. Everything was ruined. She had destroyed what was left of it a little while ago. Her face was red and tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was very tired now, and just wanted to lay down and sleep. But she had destroyed her garden for a reason. She wanted to do it again, in Jin's honour.

Hands shaking, she set to work. She would make it perfect for him. Maybe he could see it, wherever he was. Wherever he was, she still loved him.

Sun couldn't handle the situation back at the beach. What with the Other woman they had captured, and an injured Eko being looked after, she just had to get away from it all. This was the only place she could seek solace, the only place she could really be alone.

She heard Jin's voice inside her head, and began to cry.

Oh, how she missed him.

-----------------------------------------------

Sawyer had been sitting alone by his tent when Ana-Lucia walked up. He said nothing and looked away from her, scowling to himself.

"Hey," She said, "Listen.. I know you're still.. you know. But we could really use your help, Sawyer."

Still not looking at her, Sawyer said, "And what the hell do you need me for, Hot Lips?" He spat, frowning. He didn't want to have to do anything right now. He only wanted to be by himself. He knew what he'd done was right, but he hadn't enjoyed doing it. It had made him think about before..

Ana folded her arms. "It's Colleen. She's not saying much. And I'm pretty sure you'd be much better at interrogating him than Locke or I."

"You want me to talk to that bitch?"

"Yes, Sawyer, I do."

Sawyer frowned again. "Sorry, Lucy, but there's nothin' I can do for you there."

"Oh come on," Ana said impatiently, "Sawyer, I thought you wanted to get these guys. Isn't that right? Am I right?"

"Course I do," Sawyer growled, getting up, "But right now, I'd rather everyone just left me the hell alone."

Ana shook her head at him. "We don't know how much time we have before they attack again, Sawyer. And the next time they do, you can bet your ass they'll kill us all. We've got to try to get her to talk. Then maybe we can do something about this!"

Sawyer looked at her for a moment, considering it. Then he snorted at her and began to walk away. She didn't yell after him, so he kept on walking.

AN: Short chapter yes, but it's just to show that I'm still doing this story.
