"Well, ain't life grand? What I wouldn't get for a cup of water right now," Sawyer said as he rubbed his arm.

Emma silently agreed.

Jin pointed up to the door.

"No, no way, no more human pyramids." Sawyer replied.

Michael looked up. "Hey! Hey! Let us out of here! Hey- Enough!" he shouted

Emma shook her head, it wasn't going to work.

"Chill!" Sawyer said.

Michael turned to him. "Every minute we're in here, it's another minute my son is out there!"

"Well, let me break it to you Mike, right now, Rambia and her buddies are trying to figure out what to do with us, right now, we just have to wait until they make up their damn minds." Sawyer said.

Jin pointed to Sawyer's shoulder, that was infected.

"Yeah, wanna pee on it?" Sawyer asked.

Emma squeezed her eyes closed, that was just… gross.

The door above them was flipped opened and a rope lowered.

Everyone looked up.

"Grab the rope, please." The leader said.

"Don't do it." Sawyer told Jin.

Ana Lucia appeared next to the leader. "Grab the rop, or we shoot your friend," she said as she pointed the rope into the pit.

Jin looked back at Sawyer and Emma then climbed up the rope.

Ana pointed the gun to Michael. "You next." She said.

"Don't do it, she's bluffing," Sawyer said to Michael. "Gun's only got one bullet, she's ain't gonna waste it."

Ana threw at rock at Sawyer that hit him in the head.

Emma jumped slightly.

"Son of a bitch!" he muttered as he grabbed his head. "Oh God!"

"Grab the rope," Ana told Michael.

Michael obediently began to climb the rope.

Ana looked at Sawyer.

"Want me sweet lips?" Sawyer asked. "Gonna have to come down and get me."

Ana turned to Emma. "Kid! Climb up," she said.

Emma looked up at her scared, she shook her head and moved closer to Sawyer.

"Now," Ana said calmly.

Sawyer could tell she had a thing for kids.

Emma shook her head again.

The door slammed down onto the pit.

"Bitch," Sawyer muttered.

Emma just sat there, after was seemed like an hour Sawyer turned to her.

"How come you ain't talking now?" he asked.

Emma looked up at him, then down at the ground.

"I know ya can," he said.

Emma sighed. "I don't like talking to… strangers like her…" she said.

Sawyer smiled. "You mean like Rambia? Or me?"

"Ana Lucia," she muttered.

"Ahh," Sawyer said. "But I'm a stranger too,"

"But you're different," she said.

Sawyer raised an eyebrow.

"You're Kate's friend."

"Grab the rope," the leader said.

"I ain't doing nothing till I know my friends are ok," Sawyer said.

Michael's head appeared peeking into the pit. "So, we're your friends now?" he asked.

"Do it, or the rope comes up," Ana said.

Sawyer looked over at Emma. "Lady's first." He said.

Emma stared at him.

"I'll come up after you," he said. "I promise,"

Emma looked up, she took the rope and they began to pull her up.

They threw back to rope and up came Sawyer. "Howdy boys, thanks for the rescue," he said.

"Everything's cool, we had a talk, and they believe us that we were on the plane." Michael said.

"Swell, I guess we all sue Oceanic together," Sawyer said.

Emma hid a smile and moved closer to Sawyer.

Ana looked at Sawyer, he had something in his hand. "What you got there?" she asked.

"Nothin'" Sawyer answered.

"You got a rock? Looking for revenge? You got three seconds to drop it."

"Ana," the leader said.

"One… two,"

"Now hold on-"

Ana cut Sawyer off as she elbowed him in the nose, while the leader held Jim back.

Emma winced.

"Hey, hey! What's…" Michael started.

"You didn't say three." Sawyer stated.

Emma looked at Sawyer's nose, at least it wasn't bleeding.

"Shut up, when I tell you something to do, you do it, when I say move, you move, when I say stop, you stop, when I say jump, what do you say?" Ana asked.

"You first," Sawyer said.

Emma hid another smile.

"You don't like the rules, I toss your ass back into that pit, understand?" Ana asked.

"I understand," Sawyer muttered.

"It's getting dark, were moving out," Ana said.

"Moving where?" Sawyer asked.

Emma looked from Ana to Sawyer, hoping there wouldn't be a fight between them.

"What did I just tell you?" Ana said.

"Sorry, I forgot, just one more thing, you hit me again, I'll kill you." He said.

"Let's go…" Ana said.

So, how was it?
