The picture of the pendant flashed like a neon light in front of Locke. The six symbols…the key! And he saw the first solution, the number that Danielle had worked out after a whole month of pure concentration…now Sayid had got the same answer in about the equal amount of time.
He didn't need her anymore.
Locke thought of the Frenchwoman again, how she had cockily refused to continue working out the answer that they had devoted themselves to search for, the answer everyone spent their whole life time to figure out, the answer their government sent them to find out.
They had it on their fingertip, as soon as Danielle solve the five other equations they would have got their answer!
But she refused to continue, she even ran away from them, she even stole the price they all worked hard to get. In the end, he John Locke, the hunter of the group had to hunt down the scientist.
Even though they captured her, they were still lost as she was the only one who knew the secret. They tried all form and mixture of bribery; threat; and even torture. In the end, she finally agreed to tell them when they used Alex…
Who would have thought that she would sink the whole ship instead?
But he had found a replacement at last, surely Sayid could solve the whole thing in less then a year's time…for that was the longest time he would wait. And even if he was not as skilled a mathematician as Danielle, Locke was convinced that a proper interrogation could finally force Danielle to slip her tongue.
"He must be on my side then, but how will that work?" Locke asked himself. "He distrust me, as does his wife and Sawyer, who seems to become his closest friend…Nor is Sayid a stupid man, no, he is the very opposite, he will not be a easy target to manipulate."
"Unless…"
Every man had his weakness, and Sayid's Achilles heel was actually very obvious. He loves his wife too madly and too much…
"What wouldn't you do for her?" Locke decided. "What wouldn't you do to avenge her? When the others condemn you for murder I will be the only one that understand, very easily you will give me my answer."
Author's Note: Ok…second part, one of my new chapters that I just typed up. Basically one of my theory is that Danielle and Locke know each other. After all, Danielle might have been involved with the military (having rifles and all that) while Locke with his skills might have been somehow related to the military too. Basically, in this fan fic they are both in this team to solve this project, they are all representatives from various countries. Hopeful my later chapters should explain any rising questions.
