Extra: This chapter is about Michael mostly. When Michael becomes ill Jack and Kate come to the rescue. We finally learn who gets the spot on the raft and when they are leaving if they are leaving. Walt wanders into the jungle and follows Locke to the hatch where he gives a warning! OoooOOoOOo! LOL! R&R! Sorry this is my fastest chapter I needed it to be out before the airing of the real born to run.

Kate and Sawyer had been playing Backgammon for a while and Kate was winning. She had Sawyer pretty wrapped up when he did something unexpected setting them neck and neck with Kate hanging onto the lead by a thread. Across the beach Michael and Jin were checking the raft. Walt was casually sitting on the raft watching his dad. "Yoohoo, freckles are you there?" asked Sawyer waving a hand in front of Kate's face. She turned around to face him.

"Sorry, back to the game." Replied Kate.

"That's more like it freckles." Said Sawyer. They continued playing. She could hear Walt and Michael talking in the distance their voices muffled.

"So freckles did you pay your morning visit to doc?" Sawyers eyes sparkled at the question. She looked into his eyes.

"No, but maybe you should mind your own business." Smiled Kate.

"Everyone knows you and doc are at it, no sense in denying it." Teased Sawyer.

"Oh really." Replied Kate. All the sudden Kate heard, Walt calling for Michael. Sawyer and Kate turned rapidly hearing the screams. Walt was screaming and Michael was hunched over grabbing his chest.

"Oh my God!" screamed Kate. Sawyer and Kate came running toward Michael.

"Dad!" screamed Walt.

"He's having a heart attack!" screamed Kate.

"What?" yelled Sawyer.

"Get Jack!" yelled Walt, nervousness taking him, he looked upon the verge of tears.

"Sawyer I am going to get Jack watch Michael." Yelled Kate as she ran off into the Jungle. Sawyer nervously looked at Michael he had no idea what to do.

"Stay still man try not to move, breath!" said Sawyer.

Early that morning at the caves, Jack, Locke, and Sayid left for the hatch. The only person that saw them go was Charlie but he hadn't questioned them about to where they were going. Today they speed walked to the hatch.

"So what are we going to do with this?" asked Sayid.

"Were going to open it." Said Jack.

"But is it possible to open it?" asked Sayid. Locke was examining the hatch.

"We tried once to open it but it proved to be unsuccessful." Said Locke looking up.

"Well now that there is more of us we could probably open it." Said Jack.

"Locke did you find some type of latch or something to open it?" asked Sayid. Locke stood up.

"No there was no latch, only this window." Said Locke.

"A window? That should be easy to open." Replied Jack.

"It appears to be at least 4 inches of glass. That would be pretty hard to break." Said Sayid.

"Well maybe we should use the ax?" said Jack.

"That isn't a bad idea." Replied Sayid. Sayid examined the glass maybe the impact of the ax hitting the glass could possibly break it or dent it to make it easier to open.

"So we are going to open it?" asked Locke.

"Yes, if you want to find out what it is and what is inside." Said Jack. Jack noticed Locke tense up a bit. "Unless you have an idea of what it is." Sayid looked at Locke.

"Well after I brought Boone to you I went back here and was banging on the glass and a light went on inside the hatch." Said Locke.

"A light?" asked Sayid astonished. "There is a light inside of it?" It grew quiet. "What is the mysterious hatch?" asked Sayid scratching his head.

"Well lets get the ax and find out." Said Locke. They started walking back to the caves when Jack laughed to himself.

"What is it Jack?" asked Sayid.

"Nothing." Replied Jack. "Except my father always used to say to me, curiosity killed the cat."

Kate ran at the speed of light every step with more anxiousness. She needed to reach Jack. She was almost at the caves she could see the little clearing once there her eyes scanned the surroundings rapidly. "Jack! Jack! Help!" screamed Kate. She noticed Charlie strumming his guitar on a rock nearby. She ran over to him. "Charlie, where is Jack?" she said quickly out of breath. He just sat there dumbfounded.

"Uh, um." He said.

"Charlie!" cried Kate in a hurry.

" He went with Locke and Sayid in the jungle, through there." He replied quickly. He pointed his finger in the direction they went.

"Thanks!" replied Kate.

"Is something wrong?" asked Charlie standing up.

"Something is wrong with Michael." Replied Kate before she disappeared into the jungle. Once inside she kept running in one consistent direction until she came across footprints, they were faint but she followed them. She picked up her pace hoping that she wasn't to late. Suddenly she saw Jack, Locke and Sayid walking toward her. "Jack!" she called out. He looked at her. She ran next to him and quickly inhaled. "Jack some things wrong, hurry." Jack didn't question her but ran next to her.

"Kate, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Michael, collapsed he is grabbing his chest. I think he is having a heart attack." Panted Kate. Jack quickened his pace. A look of fear in his eyes.

"How long ago was it?" he demanded.

"I'm not sure." Replied Kate.

"How long ago was it?" he repeated.

"About 5 minutes ago." Cried Kate.

"We have to hurry, it might already be to late." Said Jack.

"Kate I want you to go get the medicine bag while I go to Michael, understand?" panted Jack.

"Yes." Replied Kate separating herself from Jack. Jack ran to the beach. He saw a large group of people huddled around Michael. His feet were unsteady when he hit the sand.

"Move, move, move!" shouted Jack waving his hands so that he could just break through the crowd without effort. The crowd parted slightly and he made his way to Michael who was on the ground. "Michael, Michael can you hear me?" asked Jack checking his pulse. Michael slowly responded. "Everybody move!" Soon Kate came running towards him carrying the bag of medicine.

"Jack!" she called.

"Check to see if there is any Genuine Bayer, if not we will have to wait until he settles if he settles." Kate rummaged through the bag, searching frantically for the medication chucking bottles aside.

"I don't see any!" cried Kate.

"Keep looking." Urged Jack. Suddenly Kate found the medication and handed to Jack he opened it and placed it on Michaels tongue.

Kate sat by the campfire poking it with a stick. Sawyer stood across from her. Jack had settled the heart attack and was keeping watch over Michael. She looked up and Sawyer looked back at her. "We set sail tomorrow." They were going to set sail tomorrow without Michael and Walt because there would be no other good time to do it.

The next day Walt was walking in the forest when he saw Locke. He followed Locke to a clearing where a huge metal thing was sticking out of the ground. Locke was holding an ax.

"Don't open it, Don't open that thing!" shouted Walt suddenly. Astonished that Locke was followed by Walt he turned around.

"What thing?"

"Just don't open it!" screamed Walt a horrified expression on his face.

"Why?" asked Locke.

"It is evil, no handle, its not meant to be opened. You have to bury it."

"Why is it evil?" asked Locke.

"I can feel it." Said Walt. Suddenly Walt walked closer bending down touching the side of the hatch. "What is this?" he asked. Locke came over and looked at what Walt was pointing at. It seemed to be a series of numbers on it.

"I don't know." Said Locke questioningly, he never noticed the numbers before.

"don't open it!" said Walt before he ran off toward the beach.

Today was the day they were supposed to leave. Sawyer grabbed Kate's arm, "there is no way you are taking my spot, the game yesterday was left undone which means the spot is still rightfully mine. Besides you are a criminal. You put everyone in danger."

"Let go of me Sawyer, you can have your stupid spot." Said Kate walking away. As she watched Sawyer pack up to leave, Walt and Michael boarded the raft as well. Jin also came along not saying goodbye to Sun and before she knew it they had sailed away. She sat on the sand crying, why did she feel like an outcast. Soon Jack approached her.

"Kate why did you want to leave on the raft?" asked Jack

"Because I need to leave." She replied.

"Kate I just think you like running." Replied Jack

"You don't know me!" cried Kate.

"Kate I just think you were born to run." Said Jack.
