Chapter Ten:

I'll Be Seeing You

It took Sawyer roughly two hours to figure out that he was an ass. It was time that he did something his father never did. Apologize. He was so determined to find the real Sawyer that he left himself on the plane. The man that was on his way to make Hibbs pay for what he'd done. He tricked me into doing another deal for him. I killed another innocent man for my pain. This has to end. And it ends now. He stood up and headed into the jungle.

It'd been a long time since he'd been in the caves. So much to his surprise a lot of things were different. A lot of eyes were on him when he entered. A lot of changes. A lot of new faces.

Ana-Lucia came up to his side. "What are you doing here?"

"Where's Abigail?"

"Why so you can hurt her a little bit more. I think you'll do us a huge favor if you just stay away Sawyer."

"I need to talk to her. Where is she?"

"She's a the waterfall, Sawyer." A voice spoke up behind him. Kate.

He turned around to see her. So beautiful. "Thank you. At least someone on this island has a decency to answer a man's questions." He headed out of the cave before turning to look at Kate. "Kate?"

"Yes Sawyer?"

"I'm sorry." He disappeared from view heading into the jungle.

Sawyer arrived at the waterfall. It looked empty except for a pile of clothes that was lying on the rocks near the edge of the waterfall.

Abigail emerged from the bottom of the waterfall. She moved into the waterfall letting her hair lather with water. She ran her fingers over her hair trying to get clean. She slowly turned around and noticed Sawyer staring at her. She called out from underneath the spring, "What do I owe this visit?"

"I wanted to talk to you."

"Oh?" She yelled back unsure if he could hear her from where she was. She swam to the edge of the lake before getting out. She was bare. "So what do you have to say to me?" She asked.

He didn't usually mind women being naked in front of him. "Do you mind?"

She grabbed the towel that laid with her clothes. She wrapped it snuggly around herself. "Didn't consider you being a shy type?"

He shook his head, "I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for what I did to you yesterday."

"Sawyer, apologizing? This is one of those moments where you really want a tape recorder." She teased.

"But, the thing is. You were right. We are a lot alike." He took a step closer to her. "I want to change." He shook his head. "I don't want to be this man anymore." He looked down at his feet before his eyes shifted back at her. She placed her right hand on his cheek.

"You don't have to be him."

He nodded before placing his hand against her cheek. "I'm sorry. I've been getting out of control lately. Been threatening people to get them to leave me alone. Nothing worked so I tried that method." He bowed his head down, "I'm sorry. I was just always told not to be the weaker person. I've gotta learn my way or get trampled on. That meant hurting everyone in my way."

She smiled weakly and nodded. She figured he'd come around. "You never asked what happened to me in the jungle that day."

"Yeah, I know."

"Well after you teased me. I went looking for wood. All of a sudden I hear these noises coming from behind me, well all around me really. I turned around and Locke was there." She shook her head. "The last thing I remember is that he had this evil grin on his face. Just as I was about to ask who he was, I got hit in the back of the head." She shook her head. "All I could remember was lying there. I don't remember who was there. I didn't ever see their faces."

"We'll figure things out when we get back to camp. If he did have a part in this, we'll find out."

She smiled comfortably as she leaned up to kiss his lips. She brushed her lips against his. She pulled away. She turned around and headed towards the rocks to retrieve her clothes.

"Tease."

"Now, we're even." She winked.

Sawyer chased after her. Not long after, they were both in the water. They splashed at each other before he grabbed her and dunked her under the water. Sawyer was actually starting to enjoy himself. Not knowing that a bystander was watching them from a far. Locke.

Sawyer leaned in towards her to give her a kiss before he was interrupted.

"I see that you two are getting along great." Sawyer turned to look at Locke.

Abigail stayed behind Sawyer. Sawyer shielded Abigail from Locke's eyes. Sawyer always thought Locke was disturbed. He is finally showing his true colors.

"Can I help you with somethin' old man?"

He nodded, "She needs to get out of the water."

"Excuse me?" Abigail said.

"Get out of the water."

"Listen, I don't know what your trying to pull here but--"

"Sawyer." She spoke up. "I think it's best if I do get out of the water."

Sawyer turned his head to the side, "What?" They weren't alone. Neither was Locke. They were surrounded by about ten men, all armed with rifles. "What's this all about? Who are these people?"

Locke smiled, "You should ask her."

Sawyer turned around to look at Abigail. "What?"

Locke made it clearer, "She's one of them. The people that took Walt. One of those that shot you."

Abigail shook her head, "No, don't believe him Sawyer."

Sawyer started to swim away from her. "Tell him that you're not, then."

She remained silent. "Sawyer, I."

"You lied to me?" He shook his head, "Locke was trying to save me, that's what it was. He saw that you were one of them and tried to kill you."

Locke nodded, "Yes. Me and Charlie."

She shook her head. "I didn't know you until after."

"What did you want from me? What do you still want?"

"I want to be with you Sawyer."

He shook his head. "No. You're a liar." He tried to figure it out. "But you and Ana-Lucia. They said that you were on the flight with them."

She sighed, "They never said that. They implied it because that's what I told them. I just showed up one day. I just told them that I was a survivor of the crash."

One of the people from the edge of the water motioned for Abigail to get out of the water. "Let's go.''

"No, Sawyer, let me explain."

With that Sawyer grabbed her arm and drug her out of the water. He shoved her over to the man. "Take her."

He grabbed her arm roughly. "Sawyer let me explain. I didn't know you!"

"Save it."

"Come on now, Abby."

"Let me go you ass." She yelled at the man. He didn't budge. She struggled against his grip. "Sawyer, please."

Locke watched as they took the young girl away from the scene. She kept looking back hoping Sawyer would show some sign of remorse or pain. His expression clearly said it all. He was angry. He'd been betrayed. Locke waited as Sawyer past him to follow along behind.

"I thought you might want to know before anything happened, like what happened with Ethan again."

Sawyer remained quiet.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not. I should've killed her when I had the chance. Next time she won't get off that easy. I'll be seeing her again, soon."
