Without another moments hesitation, Jack slid off his shirt and threw his backpack to the ground, then ran to the water, diving headfirst. He searched around, while trying to get a clear view. He had no more air, so he quickly swam up to the surface. Once there, Jack inhaled a deep breath, then swam underwater again. This time Jack noticed something sitting at the bottom of the lake. He was about to open his mouth, but stopped himself. He swam to the figure as fast as he could.

When he reached it, he saw that it was Sawyer. Sawyer was pale, and his eyes were shut tight. Jack shook him, but Sawyer wouldn't budge. Searching for the rope, Jack finally found it and untied Sawyer, releasing him. Jack quickly grabbed Sawyer and swam as fast as he could to the surface, because he was also out of breath.

Jack inhaled a big breath when he finally got out of the water. He rushed to the ground, while still carrying Sawyer, and placed him on the ground. Then Jack did CPR.

Sawyer started to cough, then Jack sat upright.

"Whoa," Sawyer said, putting a hand on his head, "what in God's name just happened?"

"Well, I don't think you'd like to know…," Jack said, smiling. "But I just saved you from dying." Jack pointed to the water. "You were tied underwater so I came to the rescue."

"Man, you really are some hot-shot, aren't you," Sawyer said, sitting up. "Wait. Did you find Kate?"

"No, but I found Ethan," Jack started to say. He suddenly turned serious. "That's why I came here to find you."

"Why? 'Cause of Ethan?" Sawyer asked. Jack shook his head.

"No, because Ethan said that you knew his little 'plan'," Jack explained, standing up. He slid his shirt on. "Now, what is it?"

Sawyer stared into deep space. "Plans…?" he said. He was pretty much talking to himself. "Do I remember any plans?"

"You better," Jack said, frowning. "Because Kate's still out there, and I… I mean we, have to find her."

"What will you do if we don't?" Sawyer asked. Jack hadn't thought of that question yet. What happened if he never found Kate? What happens if Kate's already dead? Jack's frown disappeared.

"Whoa, I've never seen you this sad since Boone died," Sawyer said, standing up. "I mean, oops." Jack sighed.

"Let's go," Jack said, "and along the way you can try and remember Ethan's plan, while you're at it."

"Okay," Sawyer muttered. They both walked into the jungle again, still in search of Kate. Now the sky was darkening, and the rain had stopped, which Jack hadn't noticed or cared too much about. The only thing that Jack had repeating in his head was: What if we never find Kate? What if she's dead already? What if Ethan did something terrible Jack forced himself not to think about it anymore.

"Got anything yet?" Jack asked, sighing. "Or do you hear something?"

"Nah," Sawyer said, also sighing. "And I don't even hear a single peep." Both of the men sighed in unison, half because of tiredness and half because of frustration and anger.

Putting a hand through his hair, Sawyer tried to think. He didn't remember anything about a plan. The last thing Ethan said to him was a simple 'Goodbye'. He frowned at the thought of Ethan. That no-hearted son of a bitch…

Fiddling with the fingers of his right hand, Jack tried to think of what Ethan may have done to Kate. Or where Sawyer and him were headed to. Now that, he did not know. "Damn tension," he mumbled out loud. He looked back and saw Sawyer in deep thought. Jack smiled to himself. He thought it was funny to see Sawyer trying to use his head. But then he stopped smiling because he had to be serious. Dead serious.

"Ooh!" Sawyer cried.

Jack turned around immediately, startled. "What, Sawyer? Did you find out what Ethan said to you?"

"Yeah… I remember," Sawyer said, frowning.

"What is it?" Jack asked eagerly.

"I just remember him saying this, 'If I don't get Jack here sooner or later, I'm gonna kill his little girlfriend'… or somethin' like that," Sawyer said. Then he stared up at Jack.

"Wait. I just bumped into him before I rescued you," Jack said, thinking. He stared into deep space. "And Kate wasn't with him…"

"Shit!" Sawyer and Jack cried out in unison. Jack turned around and started to run, where he had last seen Ethan, with Sawyer right behind him.
