That was a very small chapter, I'm sorry.

I would like to thank the new reviews you wrote. (=

I still do not know where this story is going, usually I just sit in front of the laptop and try to put my thoughts into words. I do not always write what I had previously thought. Bizarre, huh? LOL

But I'd like you to know that I think all the time about the ending these characters will have in this story. I do not want to lose the essence of Lost that we all love and, I'm excited to write my new ideas in here.

And yeah, poor Kate. )= I didn't imagine the story would go that way, but I trust Jack will be able to help her.

Anyway, if you want to give me some suggestion, feel free to tell me. I would love to hear from you what you expect to happen.

Thanks you! You guys are awesome! s2

Jack could not sleep. He twisted around, trying to figure out where Ben had taken Kate and Sawyer. He wondered if they would be all right and if Kate could handle it. She was so weak when he left her in bed, she needed care, which she certainly would not have. Had Sawyer been with her or would they have put them in different places?

Juliet did not sleep either. She was worried about them both. How had Ben managed to fool her so well? She did not even know if they would believe she was not part of it. She only expected Ben to free Sawyer and Kate as soon as Jack closed the incision he had made last time.

"Jack." She called him. She looked at him, he was on the other bed, staring at the ceiling. "They'll be fine."

He did not move. There was a long pause until Jack answered.

"I agreed to help him." He rubbed his forehead. "Why did they take Kate and Sawyer hostage, if I told you I'd help him?"

Juliet sat down on the bed. What Jack was talking about made perfect sense. "Maybe Ben wants something else he has not told us yet."

Jack turned to Juliet and sighed. "Perhaps."

Sawyer and Kate were very cold in that place. Slowly the room began to brighten by daylight. Kate still shivered in the cold. Sawyer looked at her and her lips were purplish.

"I can not stand it anymore ... stay here." She spoke softly with several pauses, Kate could not breathe right from the cold. Her voice was tearful, but she did not have the strength to cry.

Sawyer was also very cold, the biggest chill he had ever felt in his life. "I know, sweetheart." He held Kate in his lap, but the warmth of his body was not enough to warm her. He pulled her legs closer to her trunk, and then warmed up more.

Kate was crying without tears. She turned her face away to hide it in Sawyer, and he remembered she was feverish. Sawyer could no longer see her like this.

"Heeey!" He started shouting, hoping someone would hear it. "It's too cold, it needs to warm up." Sawyer screamed louder and louder. "Hey, someone help."

The more he screamed, the more frightened Kate was getting. She started to cry louder, she did not want Danny to appear there again.

"Heeeey." Sawyer was still shouting. "Get us out of here, she's sick."

"Stooop." Kate spoke. "Please, Sawyer, stop." She cried a lot. "I am scared."

Sawyer did not know what to do. "Sorry, sweetheart." He snuggled Kate into his lap, and kissed his head. He felt her back fluttering from her sobbing. He held her tightly, closed his eyes as he stroked her hair.

The day had not yet dawned, when Jack and Juliet heard a horn. Jack got up quickly to see what it was. He opened the door and saw Dr. Scott, inside another van.

"I heard about what happened." He said. "I can take you to Ben, but I do not want to get more involved."

Juliet, who had just walked out the door, agreed immediately.

"Wait a second." Jack prevented Juliet from getting into the car. "It's nothing personal, but I do not trust anyone." He blew out.

"You're right not to trust." Dr. Scott turned to Jack. "But I'm doing it for Kate, Danny Pickett is there with Ben, he's one he trusts most."

"What are you saying?" Juliet asked. "Danny was not kicked out of here?

"There's a lot you do not know." Dr. Scott opened the van door. "Please, come in."

Jack and Juliet got into the car. On the way Dr. Scott explained how Ben had threatened him so he could get some information from Kate and get the camera inside the dreamcatcher and give it to her.

"So you're not even a psychologist?" Jack asked.

"I am, I came along with Juliet here, believing we would do research." He shook his head. "How we were wrong."

"And what information does he want about Kate?" That part still intrigued Jack.

"He wants to know about her childhood, about all the false identities she's had. He has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, he wants to have a detailed list about each of you, and he still has not gotten all about Kate..and... he wants to know if she's pregnant. "

"Pregnant?"

"From Pickett." He looked at Jack in the rearview mirror. "That's why he took the blood sample, but it's too early to tell."

"It happened 5 days ago." Juliet did the math.

"Exactly, it takes at least 3 weeks to make sure someone is pregnant." Dr. Scott sighed, "I suppose he wants to keep her prisoner until the date comes."

"What if she's pregnant?" Jack started to worry.

"He'll probably keep her there all through the pregnancy." The psychologist found.

"If she got pregnant on the island, she will not survive .." Juliet had already done studies on this.

"But the baby will .." Jack concluded.

The day was already clearing when Dr. Scott finally parked. "It's over there in that house Ben is in." He pointed to a yellow house about ten feet away. "Please do not tell him I'm involved. He trusts me, and if that trust is over, I can not help you anymore."

Jack nodded, and the car quickly disappeared from view. He and Juliet walked to the house where Ben was. They looked at each other, took a deep breath, and Jack knocked loudly on the door.

A few seconds later, Ben opened.

"I did not expect you so soon." He was surprised. "It's quite a walk, how did you get here?"

"Does not matter." Jack was nervous. "I want to fix you, as soon as possible, but first I want to make sure they're okay."

"OK." Ben agreed. It was very easy, Jack was suspicious. Ben grabbed a thick coat before closing the door. "Follow me."

The day was freezing. It was possible to see the frost on the grass, and the strong fog that prevented them from seeing far ahead. Juliet and Jack followed Ben to what looked like a shed. He picked up a bundle of keys, and quickly found the right key to open the great gray gate. They walked down a large hallway, with several doors, and several armed men guarding each of these doors, until they reached the last of them. The bunch of keys was helpful once more to unlock the door in front of them.

"Only Jack comes in. You have a minute." Ben opened the door, let Jack through, and closed it again.

He felt a cold wind as he entered the large empty room. In the left corner, they were Kate and Sawyer. Clinging to each other, trying to warm up. Sawyer lifted his head as the door opened, but Kate remained motionless. Jack ran to them.

"Are you all right?" He turned Kate's body gently to see her. She was shaking, her extremities were cold, but Jack knew she had a very high fever. She was narrow-eyed, barely breathing.

"I do not know how to heat her in this cold." Sawyer blew out. He was cold, too.

Jack took off the coat he wore and covered them the way he could.

"Just cover her, Doc." Sawyer tried to get her into her coat. "She needs more than I do."

"Katie, baby." He caught her head as he closed the thick black coat on her. "You're going to be all right, okay?" He caressed her face. Kate looked at Jack and stretched her arms with difficulty, she wanted to hug him. He took her in his lap and kissed her cheek. "We'll get you out of here, sweetie."

"The time is over." He saw the door open. Ben was waiting for him in the hallway.

"You can not leave them in that cold." Jack bellowed. He still held Kate in his lap. "They're going to get sick."

"Let me see that." Ben walked to where Jack was and put his hand on Kate's face. "Ok, let's get them out of here." He agreed. "Tom!" He called. "Put them in cell 15."

Tom entered the room where they were with an armed man. He pulled Sawyer by the arm and made him stand up, then took Kate from Jack's arms violently. Jack could hear Kate's crying grow weaker as they walked away.

Jack almost cried. Juliet was already in tears as Sawyer passed by her being pushed like an animal.

"I want to see them in cell 15." Jack raged.

"You've seen them already." Ben spoke coldly.

"And they were not well, what do you guarantee me it will be different there?" Jack controlled himself too much not to hit Ben.

"Do the surgery soon and you will see them." Ben locked the room where Sawyer and Kate were before and walked down the hall.

"I do not trust you." He could see the anger in Jack's eyes.

"What other choice do you have, Jack?" Ben smiled. "It's this or nothing."
