I went on vacation for a few days so I didn't update for a while… Anyways, thanks for the BUNDLE of reviews:D Enjoy…

It was the next day, barely in the afternoon.

"Jack? Hello? What are you staring at? Jack?" Kate continually asked, waving a hand in front of Jack's face. "Jack!" Kate sighed, giving up. She pushed Jack gently in the arm, trying to retrieve him from his thoughts.

"Huh?" Jack said, sitting upright. "Oh. Sorry. I've just been… drowsy in the past hours. Don't know why, though."

"Maybe it has somethin' to do with that ugly thing on your arm," Sawyer said, rolling his eyes. "Can't believe you don't even know what it is. Soon the whole island is going to be under complete chaos and you and Muhammad won't have the slightest clue in what to do."

"You just love thinking negatively, don't you, Sawyer?" Kate asked, smirking. She looked back at Jack. "Maybe you should let Sayid see what it is. Maybe he'll know for sure." Kate stood up. "C'mon, let's go find him."

"Sure, just leave me, please," Sawyer said, rolling his eyes. Jack chuckled.

"Why? Can't bear to be alone?" he said. Kate and him burst out laughing. Sawyer smirked.

"Alrighty then, fine. Leave and get goin'," Sawyer said. Kate and Jack walked over to where Sayid could possibly be. Jack put an arm around Kate, taking her off guard. She smiled. Instead of finding Sayid, though, they ended up bumping into Hurley. Hurley grinned at the both of them.

"I thought you said that you guys weren't moving into a cave," he said, crossing his arms. Jack laughed out loud, while Kate blushed.

"C'mon, Hurley…," Jack said, still laughing. "By the way, do you know where Sayid is?" Hurley nodded, then pointed behind him.

"Adios," he said, walking past them. Jack and Kate walked over to Sayid.

"Hey, Sayid," Kate said. "Do you know what this is?" She pointed to Jack's little bump on his arm. She turned away disgustedly, then shook her arms at her sides. "Yuck. I hate looking at that thing so much." She giggled when Jack playfully pushed her arm.

"Looks like an injection to me," Sayid said, not even standing up from where he was sitting. "Why? Where'd you get it?"

"That's what we'd like to know," Jack said slowly, putting a hand to his head.

"Jack, what's wrong?" Sayid asked, finally standing up. Sayid ran to Jack's side. "Jack! Hey, what's wrong?"

"Sayid, what's happening?" Kate asked frantically.

"I think I have an idea from what he was injected with," Sayid said, staring blankly into space.

"What?" Kate asked eagerly. "What is it?"

"Easy. Poison."

"Damn Doc," Sawyer said, kicking a rock hardly. "Has to be Mr. Know-It-All all the time." He frowned with disgust. He mocked Jack by saying, "Oh, good thing I was here, then." He cried out loud in anger, then stood still and listened. He heard a rustle in the trees, and was confused. There was no wind that day. In fact, it was sunny and there was a clear sky with no clouds. Not even one. Confused, Sawyer looked around.

"Who's there?" he asked cautiously. "Who the hell is out there?" He chuckled. "Just my imagina-"

Someone pounced on his back, knocking him onto the ground. Sawyer cried out in pain and frustration (or confusion, in that case).

"What the-!" he started to say. He turned around to face his attacker.

"Oh my God! Jack, please, stay awake!" Kate cried out, close to tears. She turned to Sayid, "what's happening, Sayid? Is Jack going to be okay? Please, oh please, say yes!"

"I'm sorry, Kate, but I don't know," Sayid replied. "Help me bring him over here." Kate took one last glance into Jack's eyes before he closed them. Jack fell into Sayid and Kate's arms, lying limp.
