Desmond
I got a phone call last night. It was the phone call I'd been waiting for for three years. Three long years of waiting and hoping. Hoping for the impossible. Hoping to find some proof that the man I love is still alive.
At first, I hated him for going off on that stupid race. He was acting like a bloody fool, thinking he had to prove himself deserving of my love or something like that. Didn't he realize, I loved him from the moment I met him?
When I first got word of his disappearance, I went a little mad. I stormed into Father's office, and demanded to know what happened. The Widmore Corporation was sponsoring this race, weren't they keeping track of all the people involved?
He wasn't very reassuring. Father's never approved of Des. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure he's tried to bribe Des to stay away from me. Not that Desmond would take the money. So, anyway, Father just said that it was terribly tragic, and he was going to give a press conference and give his apologies to Desmond's family, and all that.
Well, I wouldn't give up that easily. Growing up in the powerful Widmore family, I've always known that with enough money and determination you can find anyone. So, I started my own investigations. And I found out things.
I can't go into detail about the things I discovered. It's too dangerous -- the organizations and people involved are all very powerful. But -- I have resources of my own. And so I made arrangements and then all I had to do was wait.
And now my waiting has paid off.
I'm coming, Des.
Author's Note: I had to be deliberately vague in this. I didn't want to go into too much detail lest this be rendered AU by next week, for all I know. I've had terrible writer's block lately, so please, if you enjoyed this at all, let me know.
