Chapter 17: Home At Last
"If I can have everyone's attention please, we are coming into the harbor!" Sawyer jerked his head up. He had been sleeping up against the boats side. Kate was on her feet. She looked down at him and a smile lit her face.
" Look!" She pointed straight ahead. On the horizon was a skyscraper, a real one. To most people, this would not be significant. But to these survivors who had not seen life like this for. The people on the deck were no where near as chocked as Cecilia and Isabella. Isabella had her hand on her chest and was starring open mouthed at the incoming harbor.
" Bless God... this is it." She murmured to herself. Cecilia was extatic. After Isabella went back into the captain's lodge, she ran up to Sawyer.
" What is that?" She asked, pointing to the building. Sawyer picked her up and kissed her on each cheek, making her giggle.
" That's home, baby." John came out of his lodge and tied the boat to the dock. They were in a Naval Base, judging by the scenery, in Florida. There were men on the dock who were cheering and waving. John escorted Isabella off first, who was looking around in awe. He led her to a medic.
" This woman needs treatment, she seems to be gravely ill." The medic nodded and led Isabella away. She turned her head as she walked down the dock and winked at Sawyer and smiled brightly. Sawyer smiled. He had never been happier in his life. John came back on.
" Ok, come out one at a time. Give your name and as much personal information as you can remember and then you will be led to a building where you will be treated for any physical or emotional problems you may have suffered." They began to line up. Kate was in front of Sawyer. When a tall man in a Naval suit asked Kate her name, she responded quickly.
" Kate Black from Paris Island, South Carolina. I'm 32 years old and I have no close relatives that would be interested that I am safe." She said this in one breathe. Sawyer stepped forward after Kate was done.
"Name and any other personal information you remember." He said in a monotone. Sawyer hesitated, but he looked down at Cecilia, who was smiling and looking around in amazement.
" James Ford, from Tennessee, but I travel a lot. I'm 35 years old." The man nodded. He looked down at Cecilia.
" Who's this?" He asked. Sawyer picked her up.
" You know all about our funny island, right?"The man nodded. Sawyer smiled at Cecilia.
" She came from the island." The man's eyes got very wide.
" Oh dear... does she have a name?"
" Cecilia." The man made a special note on his clipboard.
" Next." Sawyer walked with Cecilia up to the building marked " Conference Hall." Inside was a large room with 50 small cots, a medical corner and a food kitchen. It had been set up for them. Every new thing that Cecilia saw, she would gasp and point things out to Sawyer.
" Hurley!" She said, pointing to Hurley, who had put 2 cots together and plopped down on the. Sawyer laughed. Everyone was in very good moods, except Kate. She was very panicky. She sat on a cot next to Sawyer as they waited for medical treatment. She kept rubbing her hands together and tapping her feet.
" Are you okay?" Sawyer asked her, putting his hand on her knee to stop it from shaking. She gave a small shake of her head.
" No, I know, he'll... he'll find me." She whispered.
" The marshals dead, Kate." sawyer reminded her. She shook her head.
" No... he's not, but they'll still find me, " She looked up at Sawyer, " I am really really wanted, I've got 23,000 on my name!" A tear of panic was running down her face, but she brushed it off hurridly.
" Maybe you could come back with me. I promised to take Cecilia and Isabella to Disney World, you can come too." She smiled.
" Where do you live James?" She asked him. He sighed.
" I'll have to make that decision, won't I." Kate laughed.
" I'd like to go to Diseny World with you James." She seemed to have calmed a bit. A Naval officer beckoned for her to come.
" See you in a bit."
Other then mild post-traumatic stress, Sawyer was fine. Kate had an infected gash on her leg from a boar, but she was fine too. Cecilia seemed to be perfectly healthy, but it was quite different for Isabella. The change in the air and temperatures, she seemed to have gone down hill. She did not have African Sleeping Sickness, but something was killing her.
"We think it might have to do with, her child." the officer told Sawyer the next morning.
" What? What's wrong with Cecilia?" Sawyer asked, looking over at her smiling face.
" No, nothing has spread to her, it's more, her father that matters." Sawyer's heart sank. Ethan.
" What'd you mean?" Sawyer put his hands over his eyes.
"Her father had the particles in his DNA. Now Isabella has them." Sawyer sighed. He looked up at the tall officer.
" Is there anything we can do to give her any kind of life? She's never seen any of it." The officer looked sympathetic.
" We've found a medicine that should give her, maybe a month, " He looked at Sawyers down-trodden face and to Cecilia, outside in the grass with Kate, " tell you what, we are going to be giving you all some cash, for legal purposes, it's supposed to be a secret, but you needed to know." Sawyer looked up.
" How much money we talkin' about?" The man counted on his fingers.
" We'll be giving it to Isabella, Cecilia, and you... 240,000 dollars." Sawyer stood up and smiled.
" Well all right! We can tour the world!"
