Kate helped Sawyer to the caves. She set him down in Jack's area. She grabbed a water bottle nearby and gave it to him.

"Drink up, you don't need dehydration on top of your infection," she said to him.

"Aw, Freckles. You worried about me? How cute," he said slyly. His hand reached out and caressed hers. She jumped back at his touch. He frowned.

"I'm going to go get Jack, so he can check on you. I'll be back in a few." And with that she took off. She found Hurley on his way back from the beach.

"Hey, Hurley is Jack at the beach?"

"Uh, I'm not sure. Maybe you should ask somebody else," he said choosing his words carefully.

"You're lying. You know exactly where he is." She needed to talk to him about what happened.

"He's on the beach. He was talking to Ana-Lucia," he said hesitantly. Kate's face fell.

"The girl who killed Shannon! Why would he possibly want to talk to her!"

"I swear, you like you just caught him cheating on you." Kate shook her head. Tears dared to come out but she blinked them away.

"Hurley, could you bring him back here? Tell him Sawyer woke up, and he could use a check up."

"Yeah, sure I'll tell him." And he headed back down to the beach.

A little later on the beach

Jack was having a great time drinking with Ana. She was funny and nice. While he was having fun, his thoughts kept drifting back to Kate and their kiss. She kissed him passionately and like she didn't want to be anywhere else. He remembered Sawyer's words, "I love her". Jack shook his head. There was no way Kate could love Sawyer. She hated him, but she barely left his side when he was sick. He was confused.

"Hey jack!" Hurley called. Jack stood up and walked towards him.

"What's up, Hurley?"

"Kate told me to tell you that Sawyer woke up. I think she wanted you to check on him."

Jack frowned. Why hadn't Kate come herself? Of course, she was still with Sawyer.

"Kate sent you?" he asked.

"Yeah, are you coming?"

"Yeah, tell her I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Who's Kate?" Anna asked.

"She's a friend. She's was helping Sawyer take his medicine. He just woke up and I have to check on him." He secretly wished that Kate would still be there when he got there.

"I'll go with you to check on the jackass." Jack just smiled. They started walking towards the caves together.
