They lock eyes and stare at each other for a few minutes when suddenly they hear a noise, they break their gaze, and realize its some one shouting Jack.
They both here everything Locke was saying to Jack.
Jack looks at Kate and starts to back away, sadness evident in his eyes but anger too.
She grabs a hold of his arm again.
Kate: "Where are you going?" She says in a panicked tone.
Jack: "I'm going out there."
Kate: "Are you crazy, do you not remember what Locke did to you the last time he was with us!"
Jack looks at her pained, he wished that he could just stay there with her but he couldn't he had to go face Locke, he could not hide or run away.
Kate: "No? Well let me remind you, he had a gun aimed at you! A gun Jack. He could've killed you." She says the last part softly.
Jack senses that she's scared for him, he places his hands on her shoulders trying to calm her a little bit.
Jack: "Kate. You know that I have to go out there, I… I can't runaway."
Kate: "I'm not asking you to Jack, I'm just saying don't go out there, not yet, he might… he might do what he did last time."
Jack: "If he wanted to kill me Kate he would've done there and then, and he didn't."
Kate: "And that's supposed to reassure me… you said it yourself Jack, Locke, he's unstable, he might've changed his mind. Please… Jack, don't go out there."
Jack looks at her a little surprised, he smiles slightly, he bring his right hand to cup her cheek, she moves into his touch.
Jack: "I gotta do this Kate."
She nods, she wraps her arms around him, and he holds her back. She rests her head on his shoulder, she grips his t-shirt, he just holds her tightly letting her now that he'd stay with her if he could, and that he loved her.
Kate: "I know, I… I just don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
She wanted to tell him she loved him. She had to tell him something, and she didn't want to tell him she loved him right this moment, just in case he thought she was saying it because she thought he was a dead man. He pulls her back a little, he lifts her chin up, and she looks away.
Jack: "Kate looks at me. She slowly looks at him. He cups her face again. She leans forward a little. I'm not gonna leave you, I won't ever leave you."
He bends his head down towards hers; he sees a little smile tugging at her lips. She tilts her head, he pulls her closer, and she places her hands on his chest. Their centimetres apart… their lips finally collide, softly but passionately. His hand travels up her back, to her hair. She feels like she is having an outer-body experience. If she couldn't say she loved him, she'd defiantly tell him through this kiss. She closes her eyes taking in this new wonderful sensation. She grips his t-shirt. She opens her eyes alarmed, she suddenly feels cold, a tear escapes her eyes, and her feet burst into a run. He had gone she was standing there alone. She knew where he had gone; he had gone on without her.
A little moment later and she is bursting through the trees. She comes to a halt…
