Kate gave the money to the cab driver, and quickly exited thetaxi. She couldn't take any chances on anybody recognizing her. As soonas the boat had landed in Sydney, she had started running again. Running before she had gotten to say goodbye to Claire, and little Aaron.Before wishing Sayid and Shannon good luck. Before hearing Sawyer callher freckles once more. Before talking to Jack on last time.
Jack.
The name conjured up way to many emotions that hit her like a brick wall. She didn't even want to sift through them. It would bring up to many memories, memories she didn't want, she didn't need. It was part of her past now. Aname and faceshe would forget easilyLike every other man she had lied to and slept with.
She made her way through the Grave yard, knowing what she was looking for, but not sure where. She was following her intuition, which she didn't do often, and kept second guessing herself. She couldn't be here long. In and out, she told herself. As faras she was concerned, she was a waitress named Danielle who was visiting her dead sister. She didn't actually have a sister, but Kate had always wanted one. Why not pretend to have one while you were running from the FBI?
She was one row away from the grave stone she had been looking for when she saw a woman already there. Kate grimaced, realizing it was his wife. She walked over to the grave marker next to the woman, and looked at the name. "Christian Shepard" Where had she heard that namebefore? She shrugged. She needed a girl. Next grave over belonged toSarah Shepard. Hell, why not? She kneeled in front of it and listened to the woman in front of the other stone.
Kate heard the woman give a sniffle. "No heart. that woman had no heart" she muttered before getting up and leaving. Kate wondered who she was talking about.When she realized she was talking about her, she grew angry.
"No heart?" yelled Kate her mind "I've had more heart and emotions in a year then you've ever had in a lifetime. You don't think I've felt guilty about what I did? I loved him!"
Once Kate finished the screaming match in her mind, she remembered the woman was no longer there, and started over to the grave. She kneeled in front of it and chocked back a sob. She slowly traced her finger over the engraved name "T-H-O-M-A-S B-R-E-N-N-A-N"
"I'm sorry" she whispered. She was on the verge of tears, and she wasn't about to cry in a middle of a cemetery filled with people who when theyrecognized her would only be willing to turn her over to the feds.
She quickly got up, and with her head down, hurried to the nearest exit. With her head down, she didn't see the man walking on the same path, and she knocked into him. She mumbled a "sorry" and wasabout to continue on her way when she heard "Kate?" She turned around quickly.
Maybe the grave yard wasn't just filled with people who when the recognized herwould bemore than willing to turn her over to the feds.
I never have time to thank my uber lovely reviewers...I love you guys!
