Here's the next chapter. It's Skye centric. Enjoy! I don't own Lost.
A nine year old Skye blinked as she woke up. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was walking along the canyon and then… nothing. Oh, God. Had she fallen down the canyon? Looking up she saw that the canyon went above her. Damn.
Looking up at the sky she saw that the sun was setting. She had gone for a walk at around ten o'clock in the morning. She'd been unconscious the whole time. Were they looking for her? Maybe she had to find them. Maybe they couldn't find her.
She stood up, and gasped at the pain in her leg. Looking at it she saw that her left leg had a sharp stick sticking out of it. Should she remove it? Taking the chance she grabbed it and pulled it out, yelling when she felt the pain. Now all she had to do was find her way home.
--
'Skye!'
Skye shook her head as she woke up. She had, for some reason, dreamed about when she had been lost, as a kid. She stood up, glancing at her left leg. She could still see the scar, even after twelve years.
'Skye! Come on, open up!'
It was then she remembered the reason she woke up in the first place. She walked over to the door and opened it to see Kit.
'Hey,' she said.
'Happy birthday,' he said, kissing her cheek.
'Thank you. I forgot myself,' she smiled, as she let him in.
'Did you hear?' he asked.
'Hear what?' she asked curiously.
'They're back.'
'What?'
'Jack, Kate, Sophie, Rosie, Alice, Sayid, Hurley… Dinah. They're back.'
'What? How?'
'I don't know. But they're back. And Sayid and Dinah were captured, apparently Hostiles.'
'Excuse me, what?' a voice said, walking in the room. 'They're back?'
Kit turned to Adira. 'Yes.'
'And Dinah's apparently a Hostile?'
'Apparently.'
Adira ran out of the house.
'I wasn't meant to let her know,' Kit confessed.
--
'They're not talking,' Phil said.
'What do you expect?' Evelyn said.
'I think we need to get Oldham,' Horace said.
'We don't need to do that,' Adira walked in.
'And why is that, Adira?' Carson asked.
'Word has spread,' she told them. 'I've heard that two Middle Eastern's were found. One a young woman, probably still a teenager,' she took a picture out of her back pocket. 'Is this the girl?' she showed the picture to them. It was one of her and Dinah.
'Yes,' Carson said in surprise. 'Why do you have a picture of her?'
'She's no Hostile. She's my daughter.'
--
'Alia!' Mira exclaimed, walking in her house. 'You're back!'
'Shh,' Alia told her. 'Your niece is sleeping. Or at least trying to,' she added, looking at the baby in her arms.
'My niece?'
'Well, yeah, Mira. Although we are in no way related, I regard you as a better sister than Hana or Sasha. So yeah, you're niece.'
Mira smiled at her. 'She's beautiful, Alia. What's her name?'
'Cleopatra. Do you want to hold her?'
'Can I?'
'Of course,' she said, passing her daughter to her friend. 'Watch her head.'
'Hi, Cleo. I'm your aunt Mira.'
Alia smiled at them. 'Promise me something, Mira.'
'What is it?'
'If something should happen to me-'
'Nothing's going to happen to you.'
'If something should happen to me,' she repeated. 'Promise me you will always protect her. Will you do that for me?'
'Do you even need to ask, Ali?'
--
'What do you mean that she's your daughter?!' Radzinsky yelled.
'Exactly what I'm saying! When we shipwrecked here, my daughter was on that ship. We could never find her. It's obvious that the Hostiles found her. Just let me talk to her. She doesn't like speaking English though.'
'No. you can't talk to her.'
'She doesn't trust easily. If she knew I was here, she'd talk.'
'Stuart,' Carson said to Radzinsky. 'Listen to her. This is not unreasonable.'
'Okay,' Horace said. 'Adira, you have ten minutes.'
'Toda,' Adira said before walking into the room Dinah was being held in. she was facing away from the door.
'Shalom, bat,' Adira said. Dinah whirled around and gaped at her.
--
Rosie walked into the infirmary.
'Hi, Rosalyn, isn't it?' a woman in her forties said, smiling kindly.
'Actually, most people just call me Rosie, but yes. Rosalyn,' she smiled back.
'Welcome. My name is Layla. We don't really get many people here in the infirmary.'
'Apart from the hypochondriacs,' a man said, walking over. 'And the occasional kid hurting themselves.'
'Rosie, this is my son, Jamal,' Layla introduced.
'Hi, nice to meet you,' Rosie said to him.
'You too,' he smiled. 'You know, it's a nice change. We don't have beautiful doctors. Well, we didn't until now.'
Layla rolled her eyes at her son. 'Jamal, you don't need to flirt with every female member of the Initiative. Go annoy Hana, or help your father, or see Alia and the baby. Or maybe, as crazy as it sounds, actually spend time with Sasha.'
'Whatever,' he said, walking out.
'Sorry about him. I don't know where he gets it from,' she laughed.
--
'And why should I?' Dinah asked, her voice still holding the ice that everything she had said for the past few years had. She could not believe what her mother was telling her to do.
'Because if you don't, you will die, Dinah,' Adira said.
'Az mah? I'll deserve to.'
'What? Why?'
'I vowed to never become you. And I still ended up doing it. So I deserve to die.'
'What do you mean you became me and that you deserve to die because of it?'
'I became an assassin. I became one of the most horrible people in the world, a heartless bitch. I cared for no one but myself. I told Tasha of all people I'd kill her if she ever talked to me again! Tasha was my best friend! And I threatened to kill her! The same thing you did to Adah! Only you killed her. Your best friend. Shows what type of person you are, Adira.'
Adira winced when Dinah called her by her first name. 'And what type of person is that?'
'A ruthless and heartless killer.'
'And what type of person are you?'
'A person who made mistakes. A person who realizes the evil that she's done. A person who is trying to find redemption.'
'Redemption?'
'Ken. I pray that you can find redemption in the next life, Adira. Because there is no way you will be able to find it in this one. Not now. Not after everything that you've done.'
--
'So,' Dan said. 'Three years. What's happened?'
'What, you mean in the real world, thirty years from now?' Sophie smiled.
'Yes.'
'I really don't want to say it, because it will hurt me to, but you should know.'
'What is it?'
'I was pregnant.'
'What?' he asked in surprise. If anything, he didn't think it'd be that.
She took a deep breath. 'February 2005, I found out I was two months pregnant.'
'February, two months pregnant…' he trailed off. 'Would that mean…?'
'Yeah. You were the father, Dan,' she smiled sadly at him.
''were'? As in past tense?'
'June 2005, I was hit by a car. I miscarried.' A tear slid down her cheek.
'Soph…' he said softly, wiping away the tear. 'I'm so sorry.'
'Yeah. So am I. it was a boy.'
'What was his name?'
'Daniel,' she smiled at him. 'Daniel Cory Stevens.'
'I like it,' he nodded, smiling back at her.
'I kind of got depressed after that,' she confessed.
'What?'
'Not extremely depressed, like Tasha. No. I wasn't hurting myself. Well, at least not physically. I tortured myself emotionally and mentally though. When we got back there were graves for all the people lost in the crash that didn't come back. I would visit yours, although I didn't think you were dead. It was the only thing I could do to be close to you though. The only thing I could do to tell myself that the feelings you had for me were as strong as the ones I had for you.'
''had'? That usually means in the past.'
She rolled her eyes. 'Have, okay? God. Insecure, much?'
He smiled at her and kissed her.
'I love you so much, Daniel Shephard,' she said, in between kisses.
'I love you more, Sophie Stevens.'
--
'I love the way you handle delicate situations, Dinah,' a voice said from next to her.
'Go away,' Dinah said.
'It's like you are completely and utterly clueless,' the voice continued cheerfully.
'Stop annoying me, Calypso,' Dinah said.
'Why not? Remember all the times we annoyed each other? In thirty years from now?'
'Cally…' she warned.
'Dinah…' Calypso countered, smiling.
'You're so annoying!'
'I'm dead. I can go whenever I want to. You're stuck here. It's great being a ghost, Dinah.'
'Then go, if that's what you want to do.'
'What you said to your mother, Dinah. That was cruel. 'Heartless'? 'Ruthless'? You're mother's not like that. You know that.'
'Go away, Cally,' she said.
'No. not until you admit what you said was bitchy.'
'I can't. Go away Calypso Felicity Wedner,' she said through clenched teeth.
'How do you know my middle name?' she asked in surprise.
'I read up on all you guys when I left this God Forsaken place. Please. Go away.'
'Fine. Just think about what I said, Dinah. I'll be back.'
--
Sasha looked out the window.
'What are you doing?' Dragan asked, sensing her standing still, and finding it unusual.
'Watching your sister,' she said casually.
'Stalker, much?'
She smiled slightly. 'She doesn't like me, does she?'
'No,' he shook his head. 'She thinks you're too blunt and aggressive.'
'Aggressive?'
'Yeah. And, just to add to that list, according to everyone else, cold-hearted, bitchy, cruel and scary. Not that I see it though.'
She shot him a look that was wasted on him.
'I'm sorry, but I really hate her,' she said.
'Yeah, well she hates you too,' he smirked as there was a knock on the door. Sasha walked over and opened it to see Tori and Serj.
'What can I do for you two?' she asked.
'Dragan's here, yeah?' Tori asked.
'Yeah,' she nodded.
'I just saw my younger self,' Serj said.
'Come in,' she sighed to both of them. Tori went over and sat down next to Dragan, the two of them beginning to talk. Serj and Sasha walked to the kitchen.
'It's a big shock at first, isn't it?' Sasha asked him.
'You can say that again. And I saw Nazeli.'
'Oh. How'd you take it?'
'Would you say that muttering to Nathan I had something to do and walking off before he got to ask what it was, badly?'
'Yeah. I completely froze up, if you recall. Although they just thought I was freaked out by the Hostiles.'
'Ha. Sasha Ka- Kedrova,' he corrected himself. 'Freaked out? Got to be kidding me.'
At that moment there was another knock on the door. Dragan opened it.
'Sasha here, yes?' Adira asked. He nodded and she walked in, a sad expression on her face. The others all looked at her curiously. 'My daughter just told me that I am a ruthless and heartless killer, and that I will never find redemption in this life.'
'You won't,' Sasha said calmly.
'Excuse me?' she asked in shock.
'You have a grain of hope in finding it in the next life. I don't have any hope in the next ten lives. So yes. You won't find it this life. Take it as a compliment.'
'I think I will,' she smiled slightly. 'You're not that bad, Sasha.'
'I need to remind you that I almost killed you.'
'And I almost killed you,' she countered.
'This is not in your defense, Sasha,' Serj said. 'But you did help plan something that was nothing short of genocide.'
'Exactly,' she said to Adira.
'I killed my best friend,' Adira said.
'I killed my sister.'
'I killed my half-brother.'
'I killed my baby,' she said.
'Technically that was your sister who did that.'
'I provoked her into it.'
'That's kind of twisted,' Tori said.
'Thank you for your assessment,' Sasha said sarcastically.
'Sasha,' Dragan said, warning her not to continue.
She rolled her eyes and walked to the door, wrenching it open. 'What?' she said Anya, whose hand was poised to knock.
'LaFleur wants you and Adira to talk some sense into Sayid and Dinah,' she said.
'Talk some sense into them?' Adira asked.
'Yes. Do what you guys do best,' she said before walking out.
'She means torture, doesn't she?' Serj said, filling the silence.
'I'm not going to torture my own daughter, Serj,' Adira said.
'I'll torture her,' Sasha said.
'You do that and I will break every bone in your body,' Adira hissed.
'Okay, I won't. You know what we have to do now though,' she said.
'Oldham,' Dragan said.
--
Hurley walked over to where Rosie, Sophie, Jack and Kate were sitting and placed some food on the table.
'What's going on with Sayid and Dinah?' Hurley asked after glancing around to make sure no one was listening.
'We don't know anything yet,' Jack said.
'What do you mean, you don't know anything? I thought you were at Sawyer's last night. What did he tell you?' Kate asked.
'He told me to leave him alone and let him do his job.'
'I'll talk to Ivy, see what she knows,' Rosie said.
'I'll talk to Juliet, see what she can tell me,' Kate added.
'Well, if Sawyer didn't tell you anything, why would Juliet?' Hurley asked.
'Why wouldn't she?'
'Coz they're together.'
'What do you mean, they're together?'
'As in a relationship, Kate,' Sophie said.
'Who didn't see it coming, seriously?' Dan asked walking over and standing behind them.
'Dan,' Rosie smiled. This was the first time she had spoken to him.
'Rosie, Jack, Hurley, Kate,' he said, looking around at them. 'Nice to talk to you all again.'
'Dan,' Evelyn said walking over as well. 'Dinah's talking. She was taken by the Hostiles three years ago apparently. She has been trying to escape since and finally had the chance.'
'Well, that's good.'
'But Sayid…'
'Yeah?' he asked.
'He's not talking. Radzinsky had a bright idea,' she began.
'Oh, okay. So a stupid idea. What was it?'
'Taking him to Oldham,' she said.
'What?!'
'You heard me. This is gonna stuff everything up,' she sighed.
'Do you think? Let's go.'
--
Seth opened the door of his house, a few seconds after there was a knock.
'Hi,' he smiled at Missy.
'Hi, Seth,' she said quickly. 'Look, I gotta go, but I need to tell you something first.'
'What is it?'
'I love you, and just thought you should know,' she leaned up and kissed him. 'Okay, nice talking to you, bye.' She ran back the way she had come.
Seth looked after her in wonder.
--
Adira, Dan, Evelyn, Sasha, Sayid and Sawyer watched as Phil and Horace talked to Oldham.
'Who is that man?' Sayid asked softly.
'He's our you,' Sawyer said.
'One thing's for sure, friend,' Oldham said. 'You will tell us the truth.'
Sasha, Adira, Sawyer, Evelyn and Dan exchanged quick worried looks.
--
Skye and Nat walked in the security station, going to the cell that Dinah was still being kept in. no one was in the station apart from the three of them. Dinah had her back to her.
'Shalom, Dinah,' Nat said. Dinah turned around and looked at them.
'It is shalom, right?' Skye asked.
'Ken. Shalom,' she said to them.
'You got the tumor removed,' Nat said.
'Ken.'
'You threatened to kill Tasha.'
'Ken.'
'You became an assassin.'
'Ken.'
'For Ben.'
'Ken.'
'Why?'
'At first it was to get back to my mother. But then it was to be back where I belonged. I grew to hate my mother.'
'Why?' Skye asked.
'She was a bad person before the crash. And I was becoming her.'
'You hated her because you became her?'
'Ken.' She paused. 'Kit and you are together, aren't you?' she asked.
'Ken,' she smiled.
'Don't feel threatened by me. If I wanted him I'd be able to get him.'
'I'm not worried about that. Because you know I'd fight for it.'
--
'What are we watching?' Leo asked, walking up behind the group of people.
Nathan nodded his head towards the van.
Leo nodded in understanding when he saw the prisoner. 'So what's the verdict? Is he innocent?'
'Perhaps,' Hana said.
'But perhaps not,' Belinda added. She thought he was though. She had never seen him before.
'What are we looking at?' Mira asked, walking over with Alia, who had Cleopatra in her arms.
'The prisoner,' Leo said. 'Nice to see you back, Alia,' he added.
'Nice to be back,' she smiled.
'Where's Matt?' Belinda asked.
'Ann Arbor,' she said, slightly sad as they continued to watch the prisoner.
--
Skye opened her eyes. It had been three days since she had fallen down the canyon, and she still hadn't been able to find her way home. But they had to be looking for her…right? She looked around her and, to her surprise, there was a man waiting for her to wake up.
'Who are you?' Skye asked, moving away from him. He looked over at her.
'You don't remember?' he asked. 'I found you last night, and told you I would bring you back to your parents, Skye.'
'How do you know my name?' the man was starting to freak her out.
'You told me last night,' he said convincingly. She nodded slowly. She didn't remember it, but she believed him. 'Come on. Let's get you home,' he added, taking her hand and pulling her up.
--
Horace, Amy, Anju, Leo, Alia, Mira, Henry, Jamal, Layla, Carson, Hana, Radzinsky, Sawyer, Adira, Belinda and Dan were all sitting in one of the houses, discussing what to do with the prisoner.
'We kill him,' Radzinsky said. 'And the girl, while we are at it.'
'We are not killing anyone!' Adira exclaimed angrily.
'Adira,' Henry said. 'We get that she's your daughter, but she's been with the Hostiles.'
'We're not killing anyone, right?' Sawyer said.
'They violated the truce,' Horace said.
'She's not a Hostile,' Adira growled through clenched teeth.
'What do you think they would do if they caught one of us?' Leo asked.
'We don't act like them,' Dan said. 'We're actually civilized.'
'Aware of that, thanks,' Carson said. 'But we have rules.'
'We gave them every opportunity to confess,' Jamal said. 'It's what we have to do.'
'Dinah did confess, though,' Adira argued.
'Need I remind you, these people have seen things?' Radzinsky said. 'They know things. There's nothing to talk about. They're spies.'
'Are you sure about that, Stuart?' Hana, who had remained silent throughout the whole conversation, asked calmly.
'Come on, Han,' Carson said. 'You can't be serious.'
'I am. They were trying to escape. They have problems with them.'
'Thank you!' Adira exclaimed. 'At least someone is seeing sense!'
'Yeah, and sharing our secrets is the quickest way for them to solve those problems,' Carson said.
'Okay, I'm gonna need a little more time to consider,' Horace said.
'The longer they're among us the more danger we're in,' Mira said.
'I can talk to him, Horace. I just need more time,' Sawyer said.
'No, you had your chance, LaFleur!'
'Why are we on your clock, Radzinsky?' Dan demanded.
'Horace, you've got to call for a vote. Either we make a decision, or we call Ann Arbor...and they make it for us,' Layla said. 'I'm sorry, Adira,' she added the disbelieving woman.
'Radzinsky's right,' Amy and Alia said in unison.
'What the Hell do you mean he's right?' Dan demanded.
'I can't sleep with one eye open,' Amy said to Horace. 'We have a child now. We have to think about Ethan. We have to think about all the children here. How are we going to feel safe with these people around? I don't know what they're up to, but we can't keep him here. We have no choice.'
'Okay. Let's put it to a vote. All in favor of Radzinsky's solution raise your hand.'
Slowly, one by one, everyone bar Sawyer, Adira, Dan, and surprisingly Hana, raised their hands.
'Hana?' Alia asked in shock. She couldn't believe her sister was going to do this.
'The guy, Sayid, isn't it?' Layla nodded at her daughter. 'He hasn't said a thing. He deserves Radzinsky's solution. But Adira's daughter, Dinah, I think?' she asked Adira. Adira nodded, waiting for her solution. 'She's not part of them.'
'How can you say she doesn't deserve this?' Henry asked, coming to the aid of his middle daughter.
'Ali, think about this for a minute. If when Cleo is fifteen she gets taken by the Hostiles. Three years later she escapes, and is not working for them, but everyone thinks she is because she's been with them. They all think that Cleopatra should die for working with the Hostiles, although she's not. What would you say about that?'
Alia looked at her. 'I would say she shouldn't die,' she said softly.
'And what do you say now about Adira's daughter who isn't working for the Hostiles?'
'She doesn't deserve to die either,' she said.
Hana turned to Horace. 'Which solution do you think would work better?' she asked, as if daring him to say they would both die.
'We need to put it to a vote. All in favor for Hana's solution over Radzinsky's and LaFleur's?'
Everyone but Sawyer, Adira and Dan put up their hands.
'LaFleur? Shephard? Topaz?' Radzinsky said.
'I would really like to say it's unanimous,' Horace said.
The three looked at one another before slowly, reluctantly raising their hands.
--
'Hi,' Rachel said, sitting down on Ivy's front porch with her.
'Hey,' she said, wondering why she was there. They remained silent for a minute before Ivy spoke. 'At the risk of sounding rude, why are you here?'
'I know you and Johnny are together. And I respect that.'
'And…?'
'And I just wanted to say that you have no reason to feel threatened by me.'
'Oh, I didn't realize you thought you were making me feel threatened,' she said.
'You're not threatened?'
'Hell no. why do you think I am?'
'Anyone in your position would be.'
'Well I'm not. Why would I be?'
At that moment Johnny walked over, looking warily at the two blonde women.
'Hey…' he said slowly.
'Hey,' Ivy smiled.
'Hey,' Rachel smiled.
'So what are we talking about here?' Johnny asked them.
'Ask no questions and we tell you no lies,' Ivy smiled cheerfully.
Johnny smiled back and kissed her while Rachel looked on longingly.
--
Adira walked into the room Dinah was being held in and looked at her.
'What the Hell do you want, Adira?' Dinah demanded.
Adira stared stony-faced back as she unlocked the cell.
'What's going on?' Dinah asked icily.
'Along with another woman, I just saved your life. You're free.'
'What?'
'You're free. And I will never bother you again, Dinah,' she said before walking out.
--
Sawyer unlocked Sayid's cell and entered it.
'Hit me in the face,' Sawyer said to Sayid.
'What?' Sayid asked in surprise.
'Go on. You owe me one anyway, so make it a good one. Then I want you to take these keys out of my pocket and let yourself out. The guard outside is Phil. He's a dimwit, so I reckon you can get his gun before he even realizes you're out. Just promise me you won't shoot him.'
'I appreciate the offer, but I'm fine right here,' Sayid said.
'They're gonna kill you. They just took a vote. Even the two new moms' wants you dead.'
'I'm going to stay here, James.'
'This morning, you were begging me to let you go. Why would you change your-'
'Because when I woke up in the jungle and I realized I was back on this island, I felt there was no purpose to it. But now I know exactly why I'm here.'
'To get shot? Then what? You're out of your mind.'
Sayid didn't answer, and Sawyer sighed, before walking out.
--
Ivy knocked on the door of the house Rosie and Sophie shared.
'Why are we doing this again?' Dan asked from next to her.
'Because I want to find out why they came back, and you know you want to as well.'
The door opened to reveal Rosie.
'Can we come in?' Ivy asked. Rosie nodded and led her in. Sophie stood up and looked at the two of them.
'Let's cut to the chase,' Ivy said. 'Why'd you come back?'
'What?' Sophie asked.
'Sayid just told Sawyer that he came back because it was his purpose. And that got me thinking. Why the Hell did the rest of you come back?' she asked.
'Because it was the right thing to do,' Rosie said.
'The right thing to do?' Dan asked, raising an eyebrow.
'Same here,' Sophie said. Rosie coughed. 'What?'
'We both know that's not your reasoning.'
'Then what is my reasoning, Rosalyn?' she asked.
Rosie nodded her head towards Dan. 'To see if he was alive.'
Dan opened his mouth to speak, but he was cut off by the sound of something smashing into a house outside. The four rushed outside to see a burning van crash into one of the house.
'Oh, Hell,' Ivy muttered.
'What the Hell?' Dan asked.
The four of them ran over it and started helping with getting rid of the flames. Out of the corner of her eye, Sophie saw Sawyer, Kate, Rachel, Johnny and Isabella ran from one direction down where they were.
'Get the hoses going,' Sawyer told a man as he passed.
'Three years and no burning buses,' Dan said to Sophie as they ran to help someone climb out of the window of the house the van had hit. You guys are back for one day...' he trailed off.
'All security!' Sawyer yelled down his radio. 'All security! This is LaFleur! We have a fire! Everyone get to building 15 now! '
--
'Roger that. I'm on my way,' Phil said in the security station.
He ran out and a few seconds' later two hooded figures sneaked into the station. They bypassed the cameras and went to the cell where Sayid was.
'We really hate it here,' the younger Sasha said, removing her hood.
'If we let you out...will you take us with you, to your people?' young Ben asked.
'Yes, I will. That's why I'm here,' Sayid said.
--
A seventeen year old Skye walked up the front path of her house, her bat in her hand, as she came back from softball. She opened the door and walked in.
'Hey, mum! Dad! Guess what? I got a home ru-' she stopped talking suddenly when she walked into the dining room.
There was a man there, an unknown man, with a gun in his hand.
He was standing over her brother, who had a bullet hole in his head. Oh, God.
Next to her brother were her parents, both with bullets in them too.
The man turned towards her, his gun rising. Quick as a flash she swung her metal bat around as quickly as she could, hearing a sickening crack when it collided with his head. She watched him fall to the ground, and with tears down her face she kicked the gun away before checking for a pulse.
None.
She leant down and closed her brother's eyes and her parent's eyes.
Standing up straight she ran out of the house, and away from her life.
--
Sayid, young Ben and young Sasha ran through the jungle.
'Hopefully Megan and Maddie got the van lit and going,' Sasha said, to no one in particular.
'I think we left some footprints back there,' Ben said.
'Keep running,' Sasha said. 'I'll cover our tracks and catch up,' she added before she ran back the way they had come. Sayid and Ben continued running until, after almost ten minutes, they heard a van coming.
'Hide!' Sayid said. Ben ran into the bushes, just as the van stopped and the driver got out.
'Skye?' Sayid asked.
'Sayid,' she lowered her gun. 'What are you doing here? How did you get out?'
'Sawyer let me go. They were going to kill me.'
'What?'
'Attention. The prisoner escaped. The Hostile is no longer in custody. Be on the lookout. He could be armed,' Phil's voice came over the radio in Jin's hand.
'They don't know he released me. Please, Skye, I need to keep moving,' Sayid said.
'Okay. Let me talk to him first,' she said, before pressing down a button on the walkie. 'LaFleur, its Skye here. Come in.'
Before Sawyer could respond, Sayid grabbed Skye and threw her to the ground. He hit her in the face with the radio, knocking her unconscious.
'Whoa! Where'd you learn to do that?' young Ben asked, walking out of the bushes. Sayid picked up Skye's discarded gun. 'Come on. We better go. He called LaFleur.'
'You were right about me,' Sayid said softly.
'What?' he asked confused.
'I am a killer.'
Sayid looked at him, and shot him in the chest. He fell to the ground instantly and Sayid lowered the gun before running off, leaving him for dead.
--
So Dinah really hates Adira at the moment, doesn't she? And I think you've met every single relative of Sasha, which she has quite a lot compared to other people. There's her dad, Henry, her mum, Layla, her oldest sister, Hana, her middle sister, Alia, her brother, Jamal, and her niece, Cleopatra. Hmm… who was that man in Skye's second flashback? And Adira and Sasha are friends now. Sort of. And Calypso's back! Yay! She'll be around a lot more. She's basically Dinah's conscience of sorts. She's there, but only a select few people can see her.
Here's the preview:
'You almost killed me, so excuse me for not trusting you.'
--
'She just slapped me for no reason!'
'Oh, sweetheart. I had a reason.'
--
'I see dead people.'
--
'You've got nothing to worry about. It's not like he's going to die.'
--
'He's dead.'
--
'I will save her life. But only because of you.'
