Chuckling at his thoughts, Sawyer said, "I bet you that I can."

"Kate-," Jack started.

"Nah, just let him climb, Jack," Kate said, and turned around to face Jack. She winked at Jack. Not knowing where all this was going, Jack put his hands on his hips. A confused expression crept on his face.

"Okay, then…," he mumbled to himself. "Let's see if you've got good hands," he told Sawyer.

"Okay, Doc," Sawyer said, walking over to the tree, "whatever you say." He put his hands on the tree and got a good grip on one of the branches, and paid full attention to climbing only. Slowly walking back, Kate finally appeared by Jack's side. She looked up at him, and smiled. Sawyer looked back again, to see if they were still there. Of course, Kate and Jack were impatiently waiting at the bottom. Jack sighed once he saw that Sawyer had turned around.

"Let's go," Kate whispered in Jack's ear. "Quietly." Jack nodded, then turned around with Kate. Once they were far enough in the distance, Jack crossed his arms as he walked while Kate let out happy laughs.

"Wow," Jack said, amazed. "I haven't seen you so… happy before. It's kind of… startling." Kate stopped, and raised an eyebrow at Jack, still smiling. Then she looked behind him, at the rustling trees and leaves. Narrowing her eyes, she grabbed Jack's hand.

"We gotta go," she said, not taking her eyes off the spot. "C'mon, Jack! We have to leave!"

"What for?" Jack asked, turning around. He turned back around to Kate again. "What is it? What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, Jack didn't feel so good. He dropped to the ground, wincing.

"Jack?" he heard from a distance. "Jack!"

"You made her go away!" Jack cried out, crossing his arms.

"Why does that matter?" James asked, looking back at Jack and smiling slyly. "Is she your new girlfriend? Because, I can assure you, Jack-o, that she ain't coming back."

"What are you doing here, anyway?" Jack asked, dropping his arms to his sides. James walked up to Jack again, sighing.

"You really want to know what I'm doing here?" James asked Jack, narrowing his eyes. "You want to know the truth?"

"Are you and Kate, um, related or somethin'?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow. He cautiously took a step back. "'Cause you guys act the same." Jack left James laughing. "I take that as a no," he told himself, sighing.

"Well, we sure as hell act the same. You know what, boy?" James asked, putting his right arm on his hip. "You must be some unlucky kid, because you ran into two people you will not like. See, here, for example," he said, taking out his wallet from his back pocket. He looked around in it for something. "Ah ha, here it is." He showed me a picture of some person on the card… but it wasn't him.

"Hey," Jack said, suspicious, "the guy in this picture ain't you." James smiled.

"I'm an outlaw." He pointed to the information. "Look at these, you blind idiot. It says here that I'm 23 years old, and I'm not. In this picture, the guy's birth date is 8/15/1982. I ain't that old. And you know what's funny? Ya know that girl Kate? She's just like me. A partner in crime."
