Chapter Four:

Answers

They tied her up, her hands bound tightly behind her back. She couldn't move hardly. That was the point. She knew that she was putting all her trust in these people whom she'd betrayed. Especially Sawyer. She'd watch him from afar talking to Jack and feel ultimately bad about what she did. She tried to be tough but in reality, she was just like him. She wanted no one to feel sorry for her. She didn't want any sympathy from anyone. She did this to herself.

Jack looked down at her, "So are lets get to it. Where are they?"

"Be more specific."

"Where's Jin, Walt, and Michael?"
"Jin's dead." She shrugged.

"And Walt and Michael?"

"Michael and Jin are expendable. You all knew that from the get-go. Who needs 'em?"

Sun collapsed and Kate quickly ran to her side. She sobbed as they took her out of the cave.

"How can you be so nonchalant about this?"

"I don't care."

"You're lying."

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. But I don't think what's-her-face is really caring what you may try to say. I've already got it stuck in her head."

They waited an hour before talking to her again. She sat their patiently waiting. She loved to watch them squirm in front of her. Was she telling the truth? Was she lying? She had a pretty good idea what happened to Michael, Walt, and Jin. She loved having the power.

She yelled out, "Hey Sawyer?"

He turned around to look at her. She licked her lips and blew him a kiss. He tried to go after her but Jack kept him from going. "No."

Sawyer gave him that look. His trademark look, Jack knew all to well.

"I'll do it." Jack advanced towards her squatting down to her eye level while she sat in the muddy cave. "We're waiting for Sayid to get back. When he does, we'll start."

"The splinters guy?"

"If he has to. But mainly, he's just going to make sure you're not lying."

"Why can't you people just trust what I say." She already knew the answer to that one. She smirked evilly.

"Doc, why do we need to wait on Ahab? We've got nurse Betty over here. I'm pretty sure she could find something to get out the information." He motioned towards Sun. She remained quiet.

Sawyer raised his voice with an aggressive tone, "Listen, these people, who ever the hell they are. They are doing this to us. They are tricking us. And you don't think that's a big enough problem? We've got one right here that we can get the information out of." He rubbed his head. "I'm sick of sitting around on my ass while there's another one probably stowed away in the camp." He grabbed the gun and pointed it at her. Quickly, before anyone could stop him he shot her in the left arm. She cringed and yelled in pain.

Jack tackled him to the ground. "What the hell are you doing Sawyer?"

"You want some answers, I'm getting you some."

"This isn't the way."

"Well, sorry Doc. I just can't stand waiting around."

"Get out of here."

"No, I'm gonna see this through. I've got a right to be here. This bitches people did this to me. I'm not the forgiving type."

"If you're gonna stay here, you're going to follow my rules. No gun. No shooting. No talking." He grabbed the weapon from Sawyer.

"He's right Jack, something's got to be done about this. She's not going to talk, we've got to make her, or get rid of her."

They all turned to look at Abigail who's head was doubled over.
