Sayid bid the girls a brief goodbye and the girls went to their room once inside Jena shut the

door and said, "Ok what gives you said two words on the way here and thats not like you?"

"He's my father," Sara sputtered handing the letter to Jena as Sara collapsed on her

bed in tears. Jena read the letter and looked shocked as she finished it then realizing what her

freind was feeling decided to do something. Jena picked up the phone and called her father

Sawyer.

Sawyer picked up the phone, "Realized I was right and that you still love her," he said.

"If your talking about Sayid and Shannon I don't know but I know Sara needs answers,"

Jena said putting the phone on speak, "Dad Sara discovered a letter from Shannon to Sayid that

talks about her mentions something about a deal we need answers and don't try and talk your

way out of it," Jena said.

Sawyer quickly sobered up and realized what was going on and decided he better try

and help Sara rather than lie because more lies would only hurt her more and he loved Sara

like his own daughter, "Sara honey are you ok," he asked?

"What happened that made them split," she asked as Jena handed her a tissue.

"Well after we were rescued from the island we were all mini celeberities and it was

great at first but Islamic extremist started threatening your father and mother to the point they

nearly killed you and Shannon with a car bomb if hadn't been for the fact Sayid saw a

blinking red light on the bottom of the car. It was then that your father and mother made a

pact that in order to protect you he would return to Iraq and his life and she would move

somewhere else and live with you. The media calmed down and it was done quietly as if they

just broke up. You were so young that we all agreed that by ignoring Sayid and telling you he

was made up over time you would forget him and it worked at least I thought it did till I read

that poem. Myster made me realize you needed to make some connection to your father thats

why I suggested Iraq for a side trip I didn't even know Sayid still lived anywhere near there

anymore. We all broke contact with him a month after he left. We thought we were

protecting you." Sawyer finished.

"He figured out who I was didn't he," Sara asked?

"Yeah you probably mentioned something about your mother and that is when it hit

him. Sayid and your mom figure everything out faster than most except that their plan

was idiotic," Sawyer said.

"Thats why he took the phone into his office he wanted to talk to you about

me," Sara asked?

"Yeah. Your dads a bone head sweetie but he loves you so much," Sawyer replied.

"Did he tell you that," Sara asked?

"Didn't have to other things he vocal manerisms told me everything. He missed seeing

you grow up and he missed your mom," Sawyer added.

"How do you know that dad," Jena asked?

"He asked about her and when at first I refused to say anything he said Please. Sara

he never said please when it concerns me. Back on the island Sayid and I were bitter enemies

till we gained each others mutual respect but even then we never said please or thank you or

any plesantries. We were just friends who understood we didn't show weakness to anyone

but the women we loved," Sawyer said wishing he could hear Sara, "Sara honey why don't

you and Jena come home," he asked?

"No it ends now uncle Sawyer," she said hanging up the phone and with a determined

look on her face grabed her scarf and headed back to Sayid's house with Jena on her heels.

As they arrived at Sayid's house Sara saw Sayid hug another woman and knew who

she was so instead of barging in she rethought her plan and wrote a letter quickly and

folded it comming up to Sayid.

"Hi Sayid sorry to barge in I just thought you might like a copy of Mystery that I read

last night. You said you liked it," Sara said handing Sayid the note as Sayid explained

everything. Sayid nodded thanks and went inside with his wife and two sons as Sara

back to Jena across the street.

"What did it say," Jena asked?

Back in the house Sayid watched as Fatima made diner and the boys talked. Sayid

excused himself to his office wanting to read the poem before he completly returned to his

life. Gently he unfolded the paper and read.

"Sayid

I know you are my father.

Sayid was scared as was Jena as Sara told her what the letter said but they understood

that this had to happen.
