Chapter 9 (Timeline 1): Alex
"So, how do you know my dad?"
Alex had crept into the armoury at first light. She was inquisitive, just like her father.
"It's a long story but I guess it doesn't matter now."
Alex didn't look convinced.
"Was he like your…boyfriend?"
Dawn couldn't help but laugh at the disgust in Alex's tone. She shook her head, not in denial, more at the ridiculousness of the question.
"Well where did you come from then? I mean, you came charging out of the jungle - for all we know you're one of Witmore's people."
"I am not one of Witmore's people," Dawn hissed.
Alex stared at her, a little taken aback by the sudden hostility in her voice.
"I'm sorry, but I need you to know that I am in no way associated with that man."
Alex slowly nodded.
"Alex, does your dad know you're down here with me?"
Alex frowned.
"I never told you my name."
