They drove up to the Barracks. There was music playing and it was a party atmosphere. A big sign greeted them: Welcome New Recruits. Sawyer stopped the van and got out. Everyone else followed him. He gave them each a lei. "Put these on and listen up. Juliet's got it worked out so that your names are going to be on a list, all right? So, when you get in there, just watch the little meet and greet video and wait for them to call your name. When they do, just smile, step up and take your jump suits and work assignments."
"Work assignments?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, don't worry, I've got it covered. Just remember to act a little doped up, you just got off the sub."
"What if they start asking us questions we can't answer," Hurley asked. "Like who's president in 1977?"
"It's not a damn game show, Hugo. Besides, I'm going to be in there to get your backs, all right? Let's move."
Dare looked over at Adonia and saw that she was nervously scanning the people milling about around them.
"Who're you looking for?" Dare said jokingly. "You know someone who was in the Dharma Initiative in 1977?"
Adonia shook her head. "Nothing. No one. Come on." They followed Sawyer.
As they started to walk in, Miles drove up. He got out and said, "LaFleur, where've you been? I've been trying to reach you on the walkie." He looked over and noticed Dare, Adonia, Hurley, Kate and Jack. "What the hell are they doing here?"
Sawyer pasted on a fake smile and put his arm around Miles. They walked away so Dare couldn't hear anymore.
