"Wait! She's a criminal?" Ana asked Sawyer.
"That's right. Freckles over here is our very own 'Bonnie'" he said with a smirk.
"You have got to be kidding me!" She ran over to the "happy couple".
"She's a criminal! Criminals don't deserve second chances. Jack pulled away from Kate but kept his arm around her. He stared at Ana.
"She does. She's a good person. She even helped Sawyer take his medicine," Jack defended Kate.
"It doesn't matter what she does now. It still doesn't atone for what she did!" she argued. Kate's look became dark. She was pissed off now.
"You are the last person to be judging on who deserves forgiveness, Ana-Lucia," Kate said icily. She pushed past Jack and stood up to Ana. "Why should we forgive you? You killed Shannon. She was our friend. Not to mention you beat up Sawyer when he was already wounded. Now tell me," she stepped closer, "do you deserve forgiveness?"
That was the last straw for Ana. She launched herself at Kate, but Sawyer grabbed onto her and held her back.
"No, Sawyer. Let her go. She says I'm a criminal, then I'll fight as a criminal. Bring it on."
Ana elbowed Sawyer in the solar plexus. He let go gasping for air. She punched Kate but Kate grabbed and spun around and elbowed her in the face. Ana went down and swept Kate's feet from underneath her. She got up and advanced on Kate, but Jack intervened. He helped Kate up, and she punched Ana in the face. Ana threw Jack aside and backhanded Kate. Then she was tackled by Sawyer.
"Enough!" Jack yelled out. Sawyer managed to keep Ana down. Some of the people in the caves came over to see what the big commotion was. Kate's lip was bleeding and Ana's nose was bleeding.
Ana threw Sawyer off of her and walked away. He got up and dusted himself off.
"Now that's what you call a good old fashioned cat fight. Too bad they didn't kiss though. That would have been the finishing touch," he said with that cute smile of his.
"Shut up Sawyer," Jack and Kate both said. Kate headed down on the path of the beach while Jack followed her.
Ana was sitting on a rock watching the ocean. She sighed. She stopped the bleeding and washed her face off earlier. She thought of her unborn baby. She remembered the pain of the bullet, but only worrying if her baby was okay. She remembered the miscarriage. It broke her heart thinking about it.
"Now what's got you so upset about criminals," said a voice from behind her.
"What are you talking about, Sawyer?" she asked.
"All I know is that if you hate criminals that much you either had a personal experience with one or one of your loved ones has." He sat down on the rock beside her. "You see me? I have a problem with con men. I hate them. I had a personal experience with one years ago. When I was 8½ years old, my mom had an affair with this guy. She loaned him some of my dad's money, but he never paid her back. As a matter of fact, he ran off. My dad found out about the affair and the money, and he was pissed. He started hitting her, and the next thing I know, I'm in a new house and we're hiding from him. He found us. My mom hid me under the bed. He broke down the door and shot her. Then he came to my room and shot himself. On my bed. The only thing I knew about the man was his name. He was a professional con man. His specialty was tricking rich wives into giving their husband's money to him. That's my story. What's yours?"
Ana stared at him. She thought that she could see a tear. He wiped it away.
"I was a police officer. I had a great life. I had a wonderful boyfriend, and I was 2 months pregnant. One job I went on turned my life upside down. My partner and I responded to burglary call. I covered the front, and my partner covered the back. A guy came out of the front and said he was a student and wanted to show me his ID. I walked up to him, and he grabbed my gun and shot me four times. I miscarried. It ended my life. My boyfriend left. It took months before I was allowed back on the field. The caught him, but I let him go. I said he wasn't the man who did it. I followed him to a bar and shot him to death in the parking lot. My badge was taken away after that. That guy destroyed my life. That's why I don't think criminals deserve second chances."
She broke into tears. Sawyer looked at her for awhile and put his arms around her. She leaned into his arms and cried the pain away. Sawyer looked out into the ocean and held Ana while she cried.
