The day was lost quickly before Kate was back in her tent sleeping again. She woke up with a start, huffing and puffing, drenched in sweat. She had the dream again. Kate knew something bad was going to happen.

(flashback)

Kate sat and rocked herself. It had been a year since her bank robbery and six months since she got out of jail. The rocking chair creaked as Kate kept rocking. She stared into the distance. Thinking. She still couldn't find what she was looking for and time was running thin. The real CIA was always watching her, waiting for her to strike. She continued to rock. Then she stood up. "I'll search tonight," she said.

"Good," her computer answered. Kate turned around and looked at the face on her computer screen. It was her friend, Leslie. Leslie knew all about the dilemma Kate was faced with. "I'm glad you're not giving up, but remember there's only a few weeks left before they come."

"I know," Kate said good bye, turning off the computer and sitting back in the chair.

She rocked again, back and forth. Kate stood up and walked down the cramped hallway to the bathroom. She looked at herself. Her short blonde hair was a mess, but her blue eyes were sparkling. She sighed.

"Open up! We know your in there!" came a booming voice outside her hotel room door. She panicked. Straightening her wig, she rushed down the hallway and back into the living room. The door was pounded on over and over.

"If you don't open this door right now we'll break it down!" the man yelled. Kate quietly opened the glass door leading to the back stairs. Then, after she was outside and the door was closed and locked, she darted down the stairs with great speed. "That's it!" the man yelled ten minutes later, kicking in the door with a loud thud.

"Hey! You'd better have the money to pay for that!" a man with a suit came up the corridor stairs.

"Sorry, Mr.," the man looked at the manager's coat. "Johnson, but there's a bad woman staying in this hotel room. As one of the men explained the other one went into the room to search for Kate. His long black hair was pulled back in a bun.

"She's gone," he said, emerging from the room.

"You broke the door for nothing!" the manager raged. "It better be fixed by tomorrow!"

"Yes sir," the first man said. They walked down the stairs, arguing about how they handled the situation. The manager walked into the room and pulled off her suit. Kate peered down the hallway and smirked.

Kate rocked herself back and forth. Then she lied down. "I'll never give up until I find it," Kate told herself. Then she thought about everything. "SAYID!" she whispered, her eyes widening.
