Chapter 14

Cellophane Cookies

Leo sat in the poker room, lazily spinning the cap of his beer bottle around on the shiny cherry wood bar. The club had been a new experience, though he didn't consume any alcohol, he was on security duty that night.

Kate had had enough drinks to fill him and her. Leo warned Tony that this was her first time drinking, that she was still underage, to be careful. In return he got an earful about minding his own business, which Kate was some, he was in charge of caring for her.

Now Kate was loaded and Anthony was in there doing God knows what to her, it broke his heart. She was so different from the girls Anthony usually went after, she wasn't a criminal type, she was the college type. She was so beautiful, intelligent, and personable; he couldn't see her being with someone like Tony.

He wished he could get her out of here some how, let her run away in the night, hide her where Anthony's dirty hands couldn't harm her. But most importantly, he wished he could ignore the voice in the back of his head that told him he was head over heels in love with her.

The reason he cared so much about her, the reason he felt sick to his stomach a moment ago when Anthony had followed her drunkenly into her room down the hall. But he wasn't allowed to feel this way. Anthony felt she was his, which couldn't be true in the least context, but he still felt strongly about her. If Leo even mentioned he'd looked at her, Tony would plant one in him right there.

Suddenly the door down the hall burst open in antagonism, smashing off the concrete wall, hitting it so hard the solid metal knob left a mark in the hard synthetic stone.

The sound made Leo jump out of his seat, as his stomach sank. He hoped Kate didn't do anything to upset Leo, he hoped he hadn't touched her. Leo followed the role he usually played, "Whatsa matter, Ton?" he asked walking to meet him in the hallway.

"You go in there, and you clean her up. She's drunk as hell, can't do a thing with her, because now it's all coming up," He explained angrily as he shuffled pass him.

Leo sighed, "Alright," and walked to her room, closing the beaten door behind him. He saw the luminosity from the bathroom light crawl across the carpet, and rush over her bed which looked like a danger zone.

"Katie?" he questioned as he tapped at her bathroom door. She looked up at him from leaning her head on her arm placed on the rim of the toilet seat with puppy dog eyes, "Are you feeling okay, other then the ralphing? Tony shouldn't have left ya, ya could have alcohol poisoning," he explained as he sat down beside her.

Kate nodded quavering, "Is this normal, I think I've thrown up all my vital organs," she mumbled weakly.

Leo chuckled a bit, "Yeah this is normal," he divulged, "You feel like you're gonna need the toilet anymore?" She shook her head gently, her messed up hair wavering. "Alright let's get you ready for sleeping, huh?" he asked as he helped her sit onto the covered toilet, as he warmed up a face cloth in the sink.

"Why are you here?" Kate asked placing her forehead in her hand.

"Tony told me to come take care of you," he explained quickly, hoping she wouldn't sense anything as he tilted her head up and began to wipe away her smudged makeup.

"No," she clarified, "Why are you even with Anthony at all? You don't seem like part of his group."

He smiled weakly and ran a hand through his sandy blonde hair, "About five years ago when I was fresh outta high school like you were, I got caught between some thugs, Tony was in the neighborhood and saved my life," Leo explained as he rinsed the cloth, "I would've been dead."

"But you had to give up the rest of your life," Kate explained softly as he sat back down in front of her, gently rubbing away the cover up over her bruised black skin.

"Actually, I wanted to stay with Tony," Leo revealed as he finished removing her makeup.

"Oh," Kate reveled quietly as Leo took out the bobby pins in her hair.

"I had nothing better to do with my life, and I figured I owed him something," Leo shrugged and placed the tiny clasps on the bathroom counter, "Stay here I'll go get you your PJ's," he declared.

He came back shortly with a pile of clothes in his hands, "Can you manage yourself?" Kate shook her head and gratefully replied, "Thanks." Leo left the room closing the door behind him and waiting outside of it by her bed, which he tried to tidy up.

She opened the door shortly after and stumbled out less then gracefully. Leo moved and caught her before she could do any damage. He carefully helped her to sit on the side of her bed, and was surprised by what happened next.

Kate buried her face into her hands as cascades of tears flowed freely down her face. "Kate?" Leo asked unsure of himself, "Kate are you okay?"

She brought her head up, exposing her shattered emotions and broken spirit, "Yeah," she nodded wiping away the tears from her cheek gently with the back of her hand.

"Kate," Leo began seriously, "It's okay to cry, Sweetie," he explained, "Don't think that just because I chose to come here, doesn't mean I don't regret it," he told her as he tipped her chin gently.

The vigor she had been using to bottle her emotions seemed nonexistent, her face fell as fresh, warm tears made there jaunt down her face. Leo pulled her close and comforted her as she cried into the shoulder of his finest suit.

"Katie," he told her as he rubbed her tank top clad back, "I wish I could tell you it ends here, and that you can wake up from this nightmare and find Lindsay at home and everything will be as it was, but Katie, you and me both know it's a lie. But I promise you Kate, that you will get out of here alive," she moved her arms around his neck as he stroked her hair and gently whispered to her, "I'll find a way to get you out of here…"


Five Days Later

"Kate, you look," Jack shook his head, unable to think of words, "Incredible." Kate smiled as she left the bathroom and walked to stand beside Jack, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer to him, "It's these pants," he explained as he began to kiss her neck, "They just hug you so well," he continued, Kate giggled.

She pulled out the pen and paper she still had and handed Jack a scribbled note, Jack took it and read it, "Yes she'll love you Kate, I'm sure. Just like the other twenty times you've asked me if my mom would like you," he enlightened, she began to write more on the paper, but he grabbed her hands gently to stop her, "And if you're going to ask me again, I'm sure she doesn't mind coming up here for breakfast, it's just that I'll have to meet her in the lobby, you'll be okay?" he asked.

Kate nodded, she was doing much better, her bruises had now taken on a brownish-yellow color, and she could stand to be alone for half an hour. But she still didn't like being around people she didn't know, and she still hadn't uttered a word.

There was a knock on the door, Jack let his arms fall loosely around Kate's waist as he looked in the direction, "My mom shouldn't be here yet," he explained checking his watch. There was another knock at the door, this time louder, "Stay here," he told Kate as he walked over to the door and slowly unlocked the slowly increasing number of locks.

"Good morning Dr. Jack," Gio greeted warmly through a grin after Jack opened the door.

Jack smiled relieved, "Morning Gio," he greeted back, opening the door down more.

Kate walked down in view of the door, "Good morning Ms. Kate," he hollered. She smiled and threw a wave back to him, "she still not talking?" he asked Jack quietly.

"No," Jack shook his head, "But she's doing a lot better then she was last week," he explained with confidence.

"I just stopped by to give my best wishes, and Maria made some cookies for you two," he explained holding out a plate covered in wrinkled cellophane.

"Thanks," Jack smiled as he took the plate that was still warm, "I'll talk to you later."

Gio nodded and began to walk down the dim hallway and Jack closed the door, refastening the locks. He sat down beside Kate on the couch and placed the plate onto the glass table.

She smiled and leaned across wrapping her arms around his neck, leaning her head under his chin. He smiled and pulled her closer, "Well I don't think we'll ever have to buy cookies again."

Ethan: I hate you Shiggity
Danielle: Qu'est-que c'est?

October Sky

Ethan (eating meat at a table): Oh, ummm they moved to Barbados
Jack: Nice! (eats hot dog)

Boar: Bwa ha ha

JasmineHR

FanOfLOST

Kate: (gives the thumbs up)
All reviewers: AWWWW

Boone: my mom's a biatch
Shannon: My dad was nice
Boone: Well aren't you perfect
Jack: (slaps) It's my turn, you'll get your own! Anyways, the next chapter has a lot of her in it and there's a lot of similarities to my dad. Plus a couple chapters after that I get my own soliloquy! And it's Fawesome!

Whirlwind-2005

Jack: I'm glad your tried to decipher everything, Kate's mom is dead. And when I'm at work she doesn't answer the door 'cause she's afraid. And what's this about the 'thing by the stair's that looks at the horizon?'

Standardblack

Jack: Yeah, Kate has sexy ol' me (winks). And I love what Shiggity's done with Kate's back-story. It's sad she can't do it to me, because they've basically told a lot of stuff already…

CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88
Jack: I'm glad you like the story, but Shiggity JUST write Kate's talking part, so it's still a while away.
Ethan: I'm from Ontario like Shiggity
Jack: I like the beer
Who doesn't!
Hurley: You didn't like my episode! PSHWA!

Oreata
Jack: of Course Kate will talk again, what kind of story would this be if she didn't? Not a very fluffy one!

Rain1657
Jack: Yeah Shiggity's got what we (points to most of the cast who has fallen asleep at his ramblings) Freaky Deaky obsession with scary the beejabbers outta people. And I was adorable with that pad of paper. Everyone named Anthony has got a skull and crossbones next to it in my book (believe me if you think Me and him are never going to meet….you're wrong)

Eliza4892
Dr. Sheppard: Kate is having what we call psychosomatic tendencies, this means she thinks of something so much that she thinks it's happening. IE she was thinking of him banging on the door before she opened it, and now she hears the banging.

Liz Waller
Jack: Hmm Kate couldn't really tell me sooner could she? I mean she wasn't talking and before that we weren't really anything… So I don't think I'll be mad.
(Shiggity whispers something to him) Never mind I've been told that I will in fact be furious…

Lara Chubb of Deep Hollow
Jack: Hey History rocks! You need it to become a doctor! Okay you don't but I made you feel better there for a second.
Ethan: I am not stupid, you want stupid, talk to Boone
Boone: (happily) I fell asleep when I was supposed to be watching the camp and Scott died because of me!
Steve: OH GOD! SCOTTY BOY! WHY!
Danielle: Ils sont mort, c'est dommage…

LostgirlKate
Jack: And you just reviewed now! Ha I'm just kidding ya! We love reviews, but only if they don't put you out to do. Kate talks in about 5 chapters and there's a love scene after that.

Pink Pinker
(Shannon having asthma attack from dancing)
Sayid: Yeah I did, but it was because I like to torture! But now I'd do it again for Shannon!
Sawyer: I'm going to go to the mall…
Ethan: Believe it or not, not all Canadian's say Eh. I've never heard Shiggity say it and if she does, it's not noticeable.
It's true I never do, I think the only time I did was when I did this big shpeal about Canada to a friend who asked if we had wrestling. I was like

"No I live in Canada remember, we only have Lacrosse and curling. I love in Canada in an igloo, with a pet walrus that I had to eat because we have no food, and I have a generator to run my ice computer in my igloo because I'm from CANADA! Chesterfield, toque, zed, beer, CANADA! We have the RCMP because I'm from CANADA! I'm obligated to learn not one, but two languages because not one country took over the native land….two did…IN CANADA! EH? EH? EH EH EH EH!"

Ethan: sing it sista!... where's Jack?
Jack: (snoring)

Lostobsessivefreak
Jack: I can't wait for the love scene either…
I dunno the songs, they just pop in my head. And I'm honored about you wanting to write about me (I haven't felt this loved in minutes!)

Jack: Next chapter, Enter my Momma, she's big, she's mean and she's angry!

Remember: To tell me who you want to answer the questions next time (Kate can't so don't ask)
