The next morning Kate was on fruit duty. She and Sawyer searched the trees in the forest high and low looking for eatable fruits. Kate climbed a tree. Her capri pants got caught on a twig sticking out. "Freckles? Do you need some help?"

"I'm fine. I'm just stuck," she called down to the tall southern man.

"All right then. Hurry it up will ya?" Sawyer pushed.

"Shut up! I'm going as fast as I can!" Kate yanked the end of her pants, tearing them at the bottom. Sawyer laughed. Kate grabbed a coconut and chucked it at him.

"Whoa!" Sawyer ducked out of the way. "Just a little laugh Freckles. Where's your sense of humor?" Kate ignored him and continued plucking coconuts.

(flashback)

Darting across the almost pearly white hallway, Kate dropped her gun. She ran back to get it. She had to make an even faster escape now. She turned down one hallway after the next, twisting and turning in every direction. The slip of paper held tightly in her hand was beginning to get wet with the sweat of er palms. She reached the stairwell. Ripping the door open she darted up the stairs. There would be an escape jet waiting for her on the roof. It would leave at twelve o'clock sharp. She had five minutes to climb twelve sets of stairs, and if she didn't make it she was as good as dead, and she knew it. She heard the stairwell door burst open below her.

A tall man with black hair and black eyes chased after her. "Get back here bitch! That's my technology!" he shouted at her. She disregarded him and kept running. Kate loaded her gun and shot down the stairs. The chaos calmed. Kate had to run even faster now because she wasted precious seconds. The door was only on flight of stairs away now. She was going to make it. The door bust open when she got there. It was a man with short blonde hair and welcoming brown eyes.

"Come one Kate!" She grabbed his hand and ran with him into the jet plane waiting for her on the roof. He jumped into the pilot's chair and took off. Kate opened her hand. There was the small piece of paper.

"FRECKLES!" Sawyer shouted up at her.

"Whoa!" the shocked Kate flipped backwards out of the tree. The wind was knocked out of her, which explained the absurd faces she was making. "Sorry, I zoned out," Kate said, catching her breath.

"I could tell. I called your name 'bout three times!" Sawyer said, reaching out his helping hand.
