Oh and look out for a new one shot that I'm currently writing named Sober. And I have a new one shot out called Incomplete so read and review! Kate

"Can't find the answers
I've been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Promises have been turned to lies
Can't even be honest inside
Now I'm running backward
Watching my life wave me goodbye."

-Running Blind by Godsmack-

"I think we need to find out if she's really dead," said Jack.

Ana looked up at him, wondering what he had in mind. His eyes said it all.

They were going to dig.

Jack, And, and Sawyer moved towards the graves with shovels in hand as they walked towards Kate's cross. They didn't want to disturb it, at least Jack and Sawyer, but they knew they had to.

They looked at the grave for a minute and then Jack put his shovel into the soft dirt. Sawyer and Ana followed in different parts of the grave.

The ground was soft and moist, perfect for digging.

They continued to dig until Claire came over, and that's when Jack stopped for a minute.

"What are you three doing to Kate's grave?" asked Claire going frantic, Aaron in her arms.

"We have to make sure she's still there," said Ana.

Claire just stared dumbfounded for a moment before answering to that.

"What?" she asked looking at the grave and then at Ana.

"Some of us saw Kate and so now that the number of people seeing her is over two and one of us didn't really like and know Kate we have to find out why we saw her," said Jack.

Claire looked as though she was going to say something before Sawyer uncovered the blue tarp from dirt.

"There's nothing in it. It's empty," said Sawyer.

"Then…. She's alive," said Jack breathlessly.

"What!" said Claire.

"She's alive," said Jack again, more profoundly.

"What the hell?" said Sawyer, one hand leaning him on his shovel and the other on his face.

"Well…. We need to find out why and how," said Ana now.

"How do you expect to do that?" asked Jack looking at Ana with squinted eyes, to block out the sun but mostly to block tears of relief to stop from flowing down his cheeks.

"Ask them," said Ana.

Jack just stared at her for a minute before realizing what she meant.

A storm had brewed in between the time of the trio digging up Kate's grave to the time that they left.

Thunder was rolling in the large bellies if the cloud and lightning was flashing out into the distance of the sea.

The rain had started to spatter down in small droplets and then changed into large fat tears that broke at the foot, breaking into a million shattered pieces.

To Jack all he could see was rain pouring down but heard nothing as he ran through the jungle trying to find any sign of Kate.

Sawyer and Ana were close behind, trying to keep up with the man.

Ever since he had found out that she was alive he had wanted to find her, to hold her, and to say sorry.

Say sorry for everything he'd ever done to hurt her or make her mad, but now he knew that just on instinct that he would be a lot more overly protective.

Especially since she's alive and he thought he would never see her again.

He continued to run as he looked for any sight of the love of his life.

He had just realized that she was the love of his life, and he thought it was really too late.

If he couldn't find her or they found her and she was dead… really dead, his life would wave him goodbye as he walked through the back door.

If she wasn't alive, then there was no point in living for him and/or Sawyer. Of course Sawyer didn't REALLY love her. He just wanted her to think that he did.

After all he had hurt her so many times; it was hard to count them all.

But the time he had hurt her worst was when he blurted out her secret because he was mad. That was the worst.

Jack could just see the scene. People staring at her like she had just done some horrible thing in front of them and as though they knew the whole story of her life.

They barely knew a fraction of the story.

And so did he. But that didn't matter now. He had to find Kate, no matter what it took.

Claire's blonde hair whipped in the wind as she sat under her tent holding Aaron.

When that last loud clap of thunder had come up he had woken and had started to get fussy.

"Shhh," she whispered to him.

Her thoughts popped back to what had happen just a while back.

Kate was alive, she thought. Kate IS alive. She was just dead about two weeks ago, and now she's alive!

"Aaron it's alright honey," she said.

"What's up with him?" asked Locke coming into her tent.

She smiled up at him and then down at Aaron.

"I don't know. He just won't calm down," said Claire.

"Have you tried swaddling him?" asked Locke.

"Yes. He's not tired, not hungry, his diaper is fine, he doesn't need to be burped, you know what… I bet he's teething," said Claire looking horrified.

"No, I don't think he's teething yet," said Locke with a chuckle.

"Sometimes I wish I had a binkie to give to him," said Claire.

"Yeah, I know. This island is getting on everyone's last nerves," said Locke.

"It's getting on Jack's last nerves especially," said Claire looking at Locke and then at Aaron.

"Yeah, well, being the only doctor on an island would be pretty hard. And then being the leader as well. Having to stitch up a deep wound, having to clean up a dead body of the one you love," said Locke.

"Can you keep a secret?" asked Claire.

Locke just looked at her for a moment before answering.

"Sure," he said.

Jack ran still through the jungle, the other two at his heels.

He ran as fast as he possibly could, wanting to find her.

But if the others still had her, there'd be no real chance of getting her back unless they gave her back which was highly unlikely.

Nothing looked familiar, so they were in a new part of the jungle by now.

Good. They would have to go into new areas before they would possibly find her.

If they could find her.

Is mind was going back to IF and never saying WILL. It wasn't saying 'we WILL find Kate' it was saying 'IF we find Kate.'

His doubts were getting the better of him but he continued to run as fast as he could.

"Kate!" he yelled.

"Kate!" he heard his echo.

Great, if they were near the others then they would have heard him.

But that didn't matter. What matter was getting Kate back.

But if they heard that and still had her, then they would take her with them.

This was getting on his last nerves. He couldn't find her and it was aggravating him. .

"Oi, Hurley," said Charlie running up to Hurley in the caves.

"Yeah man," said Hurley looking up at him.

"Do you know where Jack is?" he asked.

"No man. He hasn't come back," he said again.

"Well, is anyone in the hatch?" asked Charlie looking scared all of the sudden.

"Well, it's Ana Lucia's duty but she might want a break," said Hurley getting up.

"Want to head with me to hatch?" asked Hurley.

"Sure man. It's not like I have anything better to do," said Charlie.

"So what's up with you and Claire dude? You guys kiss and make up?" asked Hurley.

"I wish. She won't even talk to me. I mean she talks to me, but when she does she tells me to go away in those words," said Charlie.

"That's tough dude," said Hurley.

"So what's up with you and that girl… What's her name… uh… Li.. Li.." said Charlie.

"Libby," said Hurley.

"That's it! Libby! So what's up with you and Libby? I've seen some flirting going on with you," said Charlie.

Hurley smiled at the thought. HE was flirting with a hot chick. And he thought she was starting to like him too.

"Oh nothing much. Few flirting comments here and there. A kiss maybe…" said Hurley.

"A kiss! Hurley, man, either you're going way to fast or I'm going WAY to slow. A KISS!" asked Charlie.

"Mind you I said a kiss MAYBE! There was no kiss YET," said Hurley. "Notice I said YET!"

Charlie just stared at him for a minute and then thwacked him upside the head.

"Hey dude! What was that for!" asked Hurley rubbing the back of his head.

"For lying to me!" said Charlie.

"Yeah, well I bet that's what Claire wanted to do to you when you lied to her. And you still do," said Hurley.

Charlie repeated those words in his head a few times and then shook it off.

"Man that hurt," said Hurley.

"Good," said Charlie.

They entered the hatch and listened to the beeping of the button for a moment and when it didn't stop they ran towards the computer, fighting to enter the numbers.

It was on ten seconds.

"Oh crap," said Hurley.

"4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42!" said Hurley quickly.

The numbers went back to their original state as 108 minutes.

"Damn it that was close," said Hurley sitting back in the chair.

"Why isn't Ana here?" asked Charlie looking around.

"Ana! Ana you here?" yelled Charlie looking into different rooms.

"Hurley, come in here!" yelled Charlie.

Hurley ran towards Charlie and looked down.

"Dude," said Hurley.

There was Ana Lucia, unconscious and bleeding from a small gash on her forehead.

Ana Lucia followed Jack through the jungle as the rain stopped.

It had been about an hour since they had been out.

"Jack, shouldn't we head back?" asked Ana.

"No, we shouldn't Ana. We have to find Kate," said Jack.

"If I knew better, I'd say you were in love with the bitch," said Ana.

"Ana, this is a living being that we can save. If we save her, she'll be another person that lives on my account. Not another one who dies," said Jack turning around to meet her gaze.

"And if you save her that's just another mouth to feed, another person to heal, another person to lead, another person-" said Ana before Jack interrupted.

"But still she will be alive," said Jack.

"Since when do you not care Ana? You were a cop. I know you hated her, but you were a cop. You're supposed to care," said Jack.

"Now if you don't mind, I have to look for Kate," said Jack turning around and starting to run.

"Kate!" Ana heard him yell.

"My name's not Ana," said the girl before following him.
