SAWYER

"DAMMIT!" yelled Sawyer as he kicked the side of a airplane seat in anger. Everyone was looking at him in surprise and sympathy but claire he could see was leaning against the corner, smiling secretly.

"What are we going to do!" he asked exasperated. Everybody was silent looking at the floor or at their shoes not daring to look at Sawyer in this state.

"We have to get her" he said his voice almost cracking, pleading with them. Nobody awnsered until Charlie said quietly,

"I'm with you mate..I'll help for sure" Sawyer looked at him gratefully. "Thanks" he said.

"I don't mind. I shall help after being so quick to judge her" Michael said

"Yeah...me too" said Jack. Oh surprise surprise.. thought Sawyer. He nodded however and looked around at everybody else.

"I will help" said Locke simply and Sawyer leaned against the chair deep in thought, calmed down slightly.

"Okay... well how are we going to do it? Clearly they want the kid but obviously we aren't going to give him to them" said Sawyer sighing.

"Simple" said Locke

"Claire will take the child to the clearing and us lot will follow slightly behind her. She will meet with the others until we see Kate. Now when we know it's the time to attack, Jack, me and Michael will grab the guys and distract them. Charlie will grab Claire and get her out of there. While we provide a distraction, you Sawyer will get Kate." he finished, crossing his arms and looking as if, coming up with this, was the simmplest thing ever.

He looked around to see everybodys reaction.

Now I always thought locke was a bit of a nutcase but... he's not as mad as you think. We need to keep to this plan properly if it's going to work. If not, Freckles could get hurt.

"Is everybody okay with that?" Jack asked. Everybody nodded slowly.

"Claire would you be prepared to do that? You would have to act as if you were really giving him over..." Sawyer said softly looking at Claire.

She bit her lip but nodded and said "I'm prepared to do what it takes...lucky I took drama when I was at high school" Sawyer chuckled and his dirty blond hair covered his eyes to hide his emotions quickly.

"Okay...we got 4 days to prepare" Sawyer said.

KATE

She woke up to, her head thumping painfully, her wrists sore and tied and the steady drip, drip, drip of water. She opened her eyes and looked around to see she was sitting in a dark room. She was soaking as was the floor it seemed. her hands were tightly bound and a weak lightbulb swung from side to side on the other part of the room. The room stank and the smell burned her nostrils as she inhaled.

She groaned. Where the hell am I?...Oh I remember. This must be their camp or something. I wonder whats going to happen to me? How i'm going to get away? Will I get away?...Have the others noticed I'm gone? I'm sure Sawyer or Jack has...

She heard the rattling of keys and suddenly the door creaked open slowly. From it emerged a man. He bent down and smiled.

"I see you're awake" he said simply.

Katye shot him a look of hate and whispered dangerously "Who the hell are you? Why are you tying me up! Let me go!" she struggled against her bonds desperately trying to get free. She panted and gave up, resting her head against the wall in defeat.

"Well aren't you a feisty one?" said the man laughing. "I'm sorry Babe but although we have nothing against you, you play a important part in our plans."

"What are you talking about!" she yelled "Plans?"

"Yup" he said ignoring her outbursts. "We are going to trade you for the special child."

"Child? Theres noway Claire will hand him over." she snarled.

"Then you'd better start worrying hun, coz then there would be no use for you right" he said his eyes flashing dangerously at her.

Kate couldn't come with a comeback for that so she spat in his face then glared at him

He wiped it off his face then looked at her in disgust.

"I grow tired of you petty tantrums girl" he snarled and got up. He paced the room then said to her "You shouldn't upset me you know, I could get my men to kill you in a flash" he clicked his fingers to illustate it.

"Too lazy to do it yourself?" Kate muttered under her breath. She didn't really want to admit it but she was slightly scared of this man.

"What was that?" he whispered in a dangerous voice.

"N-Nothing" Kate said avoiding his gaze.

They sat there for a minute before coming up with the courage to say;

"You're wasting your time you know, they won't come for me. They all hate me"

The man turned his interest sparked slightly

"Reaallly? well thats a shame. Does Sawyer hate you too?" he said. It was a innocent question but Kate realised. How does he know Sawyer? Come to think of it...does Sawyer hate me?

"How do you know who Sawyer is?" she asked not daring to look him in the eye.

"You talk in your sleep" the man said simply and he walked over to the door.

Do I talk about Sawyer in my sleep... oh great she groaned quietly to herself at this

"One of the servants will bring you your dinner soon. I suggest you eat it. We don't like rude guests..." he said. He turned to look at her then strolled out and she heard the key being turned.

She leaned against the wall and sighed. Will I EVER get out of here?Please...somebody come.
