Missy peered out of the window and saw him. Richard. Walking into the centre of camp as members of Dharma began to panic, running everywhere, gathering up children and dragging them indoors. Men in jumpsuit's moved forward with guns, each taking aim at the man walking into camp, Sawyer amongst them.

She squinted her eyes and moved closer to the window to get a better look.

Staring at the approaching figure, she began to realise why these people were so scared of him.

Missy had never seen Richard like this before. His eyes burning dark and angry, unblinking and penetrating. His jaw was set and his fists clenched at his side and he walked towards the group of men with determination. A sense of power and anger emanating off him as he went.

She saw him stop several feet away from the ever increasing group of men who now surrounded him.

Missy turned to Juliette. "T-They're gonna kill him. W-w-we have to do something," she said pleadingly.

Juliette slowly turned away from the window and looked at Missy. "I believe that they're probably more scared of him than he is of them. Richard knows how to defend himself."

Missy frowned. "But he doesn't have a gun. They all do. Look he's surrounded."

Juliette opened her mouth to reply, but Missy with one last glance at the window moved towards the door.

"I'm going out there!"

Suddenly a figure burst through the front door making the two women jump.

It was Jin followed by a rather flustered looking Miles both of them holding handguns.

"LaFleur told us to watch over you," said Jin breathlessly, gesturing outside.

Missy's temper flared. "With guns?.......You think I'm that bad, you'd actually use a gun on me?" she asked glancing between the three silent figures.

No- one replied. "Get out of my way! I'm going to see Richard," she said moving towards the door. But Jin moved in front of her followed by Miles.

"We can't let you do that," said Jin awkwardly, "LaFleur, I mean Sawyer's, orders."

"So what? I'm your prisoner now?" she said raising her eyebrows.

Anger flared up inside of her, none of them even willing to make eye contact with her. Richard was the other side of the wall but she was trapped here inside this house.

Throwing Juliette a look of pure loathing she strode back towards the window.

"Fine," said Missy cocking her head, "I'll just wait for him to come to me."

--

These last few days had been crazy. A tornado of sorts, blowing path of destruction through his life.

Missy's reappearance in it had not been an easy one and now thing had got a whole lot worse in the last ten minutes.

He had been in the control room sorting through some old security files with Phil, when he had appeared on one of the CCTV screens.

Richard Alpert.

"What the hell was that?" asked Phil, catching the movement out of the corner of his eye.

"I don't know," said Sawyer moving over to the computer and zooming in.

He just managed to catch the back of the figure as he moved out of screen.

"Try camera 4," said Sawyer quickly gesturing to Phil.

Phil moved over to the panel and fumbled with the switches. The screen flickered as a black and white image of the sonic fence popped up. Within seconds a dark figure moved across the screen.

"It's Alpert," said Phil panicking and looking towards Sawyer, who too couldn't help the worried look that spread across his face.

The two continued to watch the screen in astonishment as Richard Alpert walked straight through the sonic fence and out the other side.

"H-how the hell did he do that," asked Phil. "The fence is turned up to maximum."

"I don't know, but that son-of-a-bitch is headed this way," said Sawyer striding out of room.

Now Sawyer stood alongside a group of Dharma men, their guns all pointing at Alpert who stood in front of them furious and enraged looking.

Phil stood next to Sawyer and hissed out of the side of his mouth at him. "Why the hell didn't he trigger the sirens?"

Sawyer lowered his gun. "Beat's me. But why have a chat with Mr Eyeliner?" he said marching forward toward the statue like figure of Richard, glancing towards the window which Missy peered through as he did so.
