Chapter Five:

Everyone's Out To Get Me

When Abigail woke she was no longer surrounded. The only people around her was Sun and Jack. Not the people she wanted to see when she woke up.

"What do I owe the honor?" She said in mid-wincing.

"You got shot."

"Apparently. I remember." She shook her head. "Don't exactly blame him." She looked over at Sun who was holding supplies for Jack while he fixed her arm. "So, should I worry about her?"

Sun put the tools on Abigail's lap. She then got to her feet and walked to the other end of the cave.

"Sun, no, even though you told her that her husband died. She knows you weren't the one that killed him."

"How does she know that?" She said. "For all she knows, I could of been the one to put him out of his misery."

"Did you?"

Abigail turned her head away.

"Right. No answer." He shook her head. "Listen, Abigail. If you want protection, or whatever it is that you want. You're going to have to work with us. Tell us what we want to know. Either that or.. "

"Or what, you're to good of a person to send me out there again. Afraid of what I might do, what might happen to me."

"You have no idea what I'm capable of."

"Likewise, Jack." She said looking him straight in the eyes.

"I know that you're all talk."

"You do, do you?"

He nodded and stood up. "I can help you, if you help me. But I can't guarantee safety from Sawyer."

"It won't matter anyway. It'll be over soon." She said turning her head to the side again.

"What?" With that, he never really got an answer before someone came barging in. Michael was alive and being carried in by Locke. He looked exhausted.

"I found him, in the woods. A quarter of a mile south of here. Floated to the shore. It looks like he tried to swim back."

"Michael? Can you hear me?"

Michael nodded in response. He was awake. Most importantly alive. "Where's Walt? Did anyone get Walt?"
Locke and Jack exchanged looks. Jack spoke up. "Walt was taken by the others."

"Then it wasn't a dream." He shook his head sitting up. He saw Abigail across from him. He pointed to Abigail. "Who is that?"

Jack turned to look at Abigail who was listening in on the conversation.

"She came in with the other survivors, before we found out that she was one of them."

"She's one of those people that, that crazy French lady was talking about?"

"Afraid so. We're keeping her here for informational purposes. Trying to get her to talk. So far no luck."

"So she might know where Walt is?"

Michael stammered to his feet before lunging towards Abigail. He wrapped his hands firmly around her neck trying to joke her to death. She joked from lack of oxygen. She couldn't fight him off due to the ropes around her neck. Locke tackled Michael to the ground. Sun stood up and ran to try to get Michael away from the girl.

"What happened Michael? What exactly happened to Walt?"

"We were out at sea when something came across the radar screen. We decided to shoot the flare. When we did we saw probably about five people on a small fishing boat. We thought we were saved. Instead they took Walt, Sawyer got shot, Jin went in after him." He paused and turned to look at Sun, "Jin and Sawyer? Did they make it back?"

Jack nodded, "Sawyer did. Jin is still missing."

"I'm sorry, Sun."
