(A/N: I thank you guys so much for putting up with this! My schedule's screwed up, and I had no time to write, and then add a huge case of writer's block to that, I had a problem on my hands. But! I think it's over for now (thank God). So now, I give you chapter 4. I can tell you, it's not much, but it was a really hard time for me, and I promise other chapters will be better then this particular one.

Wave to the fans, Leonard!

Leonard: 4, 8, 15,16, 23, 42… ((pauses and waves)) )

Disclaimer: Hey all, I don't own LOST, but JJ Abrams does! I just write this for the fun of. I get no money, no publicity (except on from this writing. Only my pure entertainment.

Chapter 4-

Nurse-

"Sir, I think you had better look at this…" a nurse said, pointing to Kate's paperwork. "…Isn't Dyea the last name of that criminal who's on the loose?"

The doctor looked at her weird. "Of course, everyone knows that. …Why do you ask?"

"Well, we have one Katherine Dyea here." The nurse pointed at the papers. "Every single one of them has her signature as Katherine Dyea."

"What!" The doctor nearly capsized a cart full of antibiotics.

"Yes, right here." The nurse pointed again.

"Well, uhhh, we'll inform the police later. But in no way, shape, or form is she to be questioned now."

"But sir-"

"No buts. This woman needs to be helped. No authorities now." The doctor restated. "None."

The nurse sighed. "Fine. But she can't be with other people, as she might be dangerous."

"Nurse Lelord, this woman has just been hit by a car. I doubt she can hurt anyone, let alone wants to." The doctor flipped through Kate's paperwork. "Well, everything seems to be in order." He replaced the clipboard back on the shelf. "No one shall know of this. No one. If anyone finds out, all hell will break loose."

"Sir, follow me." A white coated doctor informed Jack. "Ms. Dyea has been wanting to see you."

Jack shot up, turning over the chair accidentally. Many people stared at him as he sheepishly replaced the chair in it's right position. The doctor smiled.

"It seems you are just as anxious to see her as she is to see you."

"I think that I may be even more anxious then she." Jack replied.

He walked past the double doors, following the doctor to the elevator.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, are you and she engaged, or just dating?" The man questioned.

"Erm, we've been dating… sort of." Jack said, not really sure how to answer it. He felt like such a dumbass, not knowing the answer, but he had to take it slow.

"Sort of?" The doctor stared at him as he pushed the 'up' button on the elevator.

"Long story." Jack replied, dispensing no more information.

"Ah." The double doors opened and both men entered the huge elevator, the familiar music sifting out into the hallway.

At the 3rd floor, the doors opened and Jack stepped off. The man walked ahead and waited in front of a door.

"You can enter, though be careful what you ask. Also, make sure she drinks a sip of water after every couple sentences. You might have the help her. And just… just don't act stupid." The doctor sighed.

Jack nodded, smiling smally at the 'stupid' comment. He turned the doorknob and pushed open the door.

Kate looked up, as best she could, and saw Jack.

"Hey there, stranger." She gave him a smile.

"Hey." Jack said quietly. "How're you doing?"

"Good, I guess. I mean, it's not everyday you get hit by a car."

"Here, drink some water." Jack poured her a cup.

"I-I can't." Kate bit her lip and shifted so she could indicate at her arms. One was in particulary heavy cast, then other had a long string of stitches up it.

Jack was silent for a moment, taking in the sight. His face plainly showed that he hadn't expected to be that bad. "Errr, then I'll help you." Slowly he lifted the cup to her lips and let her gulp it down.

Kate felt the water rush past her gums and down her throat. She drank it down to the last drop.

Jack gave her a small smile and pulled it away. "You were thirsty." He stated.

She nodded. "Yea."

Jack pulled a chair over and sat down by her bed.

"Sooo…" he sighed, trying to find a conversation starter.

Suddenly, the door flew open as a nurse, who looked purely terrified, entered the room. She stared at Kate for a couple seconds, trying to reassure herself that nothing bad could happen. But she regained herself back as she quickly pulled in a cart.

"H-hello there." She stammered.

"Hi." Kate gave her a small smile. "First time jitters?" she took a stab at why the nurse was so terrified.

The nurse smiled, happy for an excuse.

"Yea." She answered. "I've only been here a couple days."

"Ah." The patient stated.

She got some syringes and a bottle of painkillers ready.

"Ok now, Ms. Dyea, I'm going to insert some medication into your bloodstream. It'll hurt but only for a couple of minutes. The painkillers will take care of the rest." The nurse picked up a syringe full of a thick, yellow-ish fluid.

The man sitting by her bed bit his lip as the nurse stuck the syringe into Kate's arm and pressed down.

Pulling the syringe out of the patients arm, the nurse sighed with relief. She had just given medication to a criminal on the run. The rest wouldn't be so bad, just as long as Kate co-operated with her. She emptied two blue pills into her hand, and poured Kate another glass of water. "Ok, time for the pills."

Kate opened her mouth obediently as the nurse inserted them into her mouth, then drowned them out with the glass of water.

Jack watched as Kate did everything she was supposed to do, without putting up a fight. Most patients he had given anti-biotics to, they had thrashed around on the bed, screaming as best they could until the sedative set in.

The nurse watched as Kate fell asleep quickly, and motioned for Jack to leave the room.

Sighing, Jack got up and followed her into the hall.

"Sir, she'll be here for a couple weeks at least." She stated.

"I know." Jack answered. The moment he saw the state Kate was in, he automatically knew it would take a whole lot more then just a normal trip to the emergency room.
