Chapter 26- Going for Help
"OH MY GOD! ALEX!" Shannon shrieked.
Claire, who was almost at the tree-line, turned around and saw Shannon trying to shake Alex awake. She ran back over to them, lugging Hope along with her.
"It's okay, Shan. She just passed out. We need to get her in the shade."
Looking around desperately, Claire spotted Sawyer and Kate, sitting a ways away in the sand, making out.
"Gheez, is it mating season, or something?" She thought exasperatedly.
"SAWYER!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
The man jerked up, looking over at them. He leapt to his feet, grabbed Kate's hand, and the two ran down the beach towards the women.
"We need to get Alex into a tent, she passed out." Claire explained quickly.
Sawyer nodded. "Sure thing. We'll take her to mine, it's the closest." Scooping up Alex in his arms, he hurried to the tent he and Kate shared.
Claire pulled Shannon to her feet. "C'mon, let's go."
Kate picked up Hope and started walking over to her tent, cooing to the crying child.
"Lexi oh-tay?"
Kate hugged her. "Alex is going to be okay, honey."
Along the way, Kate bumped into Michael.
"Michael, please, run to the caves and get Sayid and Jack, tell them Alex passed out in the sun and is in my tent."
Michael hesitated. "Is Alex okay?"
"I don't know, now please hurry!" Kate pleaded.
"Right, I'm on it." Michael sprinted into the trees and out of sight.
Kate watched him go, then ran the last few yards to her tent.
