"What the hell do you want? Kate asked.
The man in the file cabinet said, "Patience." Then he walked over to Sawyer, and put a gag on his mouth. The other two men walked over to Kate and unchained her. Kate wondered if she should try to escape, but these guys had more muscles than she had ever seen in her life, and she didn't want to leave Sawyer there, because it was her fault he was even there. Kate stood there not knowing what to do, but soon enough a man came into the room. It was a tall man. He had dark brown hair, and a goofy look to him. It was ETHAN. He was pushing something that looked like a cart. When he came closer it became apparent, that it was a chair with a high back.
The man next to Kate pushed her forward, into the chair, while Ethan strapped her down. He put shackles on her ankles and her wrists. Then another of the men rolled her jeans up to her knees and put a metal string around it so tight her skin turned purple. Kate looked over to Sawyer who was still struggling to get off the gag around his mouth. She then looked back at the men around her.
"What the hell do I have that you want!" Kate looked up to them for an answer, but was met with a needle going through her leg. She winced with pain as it broke through her skin.
"That's a sedative. There's more where that came from if you cant control yourself." Ethan said. He looked over to Sawyer. "You know, you actually did us a favor by coming here. If you hadn't come we would've had to have come to find you."
"Where's Claire?" Kate asked.
"Do you think I would tell you?" Ethan asked. Not expecting an answer. "But if you're talking about the girl, we took, I'll let you know she's okay for now. Did you ever find the guy she was with? We left him in a tree."
"Charlie? yeah we found him, and he's fine now." Kate said, her words were slurred like she was drunk.
"I know that you found him. If I wanted him to die, he wouldn't be alive now. But if he was dead, He would be of no use to me." Ethan said.
"What are you doing to me?" Kate asked weakly. Ethan walked over to her leg, which was now a dark shade of purple. He sat down on a nearby chair and reached over for a blade. He glided it across her leg as she screamed out in pain. She looked down and saw blood all over, and a 6 inch slice down her leg. She looked over to her left and Sawyer was still tied up. He was shaking his head, and looked horrified. Kate looked back to Ethan who was still cutting her leg open.
"I'm putting something in your artery. So it will be carried throughout your bloodstream. The pregnant woman, Claire, I did the same thing to her, except I put it in her stomach, and I would have let her go, but I need to wait for her to have her baby. I didn't inject Charlie though, because we don't want him. And your boyfriend over there, I'll put it in his arm." Kate looked surprised. "I've seen you two. At the golf course, at the waterfall, I even saw you two kissing in the jungle, and when those flares were fired into the sky, I saw you two sitting together in the middle of the jungle. I was actually planning on taking you then, but I had to destroy the distress call that other man was trying to make."
Kate flinched at every touch Ethan made to her leg. One of the other men went over to Sawyer and took off his gag. Sawyer gasped and bit his lip as a thick needle penetrated his skin. Ethan was still at Kate's leg. He was stitching it up. Then he got up and went to Sawyer. The other man moved over. Ethan took off the bandage Sawyer had on his arm from when Sayid stabbed him. Then he got another blade and ripped open his wound. Sawyer screamed in pain as blood came gushing out all over. 5 gruesome minutes later. Ethan was done and stitched his arm back up.
"I hope my stitching is satisfactory. If not I'm sure your doctor over there can re-do it." Ethan said.
"Do you want me to take them back up?" asked Dave.
"No, keep them for one day, and then let them go through the northern corridor in the morning." replied Ethan.
Ethan left the room, and Dave and the other man went over to Sawyer first. He was still unconscious, so they dragged him into a small room. It had a concrete floor, and no windows. The dropped him onto the cold floor, and he laid there. Minutes later Kate was brought in. They shut them in the room, and left. Kate tried to stand up, but her leg was weak. She put all her weight on her other leg and limped around the room. She after convincing herself there was no way out, she went over to Sawyer. He was laying down on his side, and was still unconscious. She hopped over to the wall, and leaned against it.
Back at camp, everyone had grown suspicious with the disappearance of Kate and Sawyer. Sayid talked to Locke and Boone, who hadn't seen either of them all day. He went to the caves and asked Jack if he'd seen either of them. Noone had. Sayid and Michael decided that in the morning they would go out and look for them.
----------------------------------------
Sawyer awoke about 30 minutes later and stood up, cursing every breath. He walked over towards the door. Then he heard a voice behind him. "There's no way out." Kate said. "I checked."
"Well I'm gonna check again. Because I don't want to be here right now." Sawyer replied.
"What, and I do?" Kate said.
"How's your leg?" Sawyer asked.
"No better than your arm." Kate said. "I cant walk though."
"That's gonna be a problem for you then." Sawyer said as he walked over to where Kate was sitting. They sat in silence for a few minutes, and then they both fell asleep.
A few hours later they awoke suddenly, because the door had been flung open. They could see the silhouette of a man in the doorway.
