They were about half way thru the jungle when Sawyer stopped causing Kate to walk into his back once again.

"What's the problem?" She asked

"He probably ain't gonna be there. After all he had to get the g-u-n-s." He said sarcasticly.

"Okay." Kate said and she turned around.

When they got to the beach they saw two orange life rafts on the beach and Jack standing on a large rock trying to get everyones attention.

"Told ya." Sawyer whispered into Kate's ear. After about 2 minurtes Jack had everyones full attention.

"Alright," He began "This is Captain Joseph VanTassel. That is his Ship." Jack pointed to the large gray mass in the water. "He has 5 rooms and each room fits 4 people. The only fair way to do this is to select people at random. We will put everyone's name in a hat, pick 5 and those 5 people will choose 3 others to join them." Jack paused.

He picked up a hat that was in the sand behind him. The man that Jack introduced as VanTassel handed Jack some paper and a few pens. Jack distributed the pens and paper and after about 10 minutes he was standing on the rock again anouncing the 5 "winners".

"Charlie, Sun, Michael, Steve..." Jack stopped and looked at the name. He looked shocked. "Sawyer." He anounced. "Okay." Jack said after a few seconds. "Everyone who will not be going please head to the caves and the next boat should be here in..." Jack looked at the Captain who told jack something. Jack turned back to the crowd. "within the next 10 hours."

Kate turned and headed toward the caves but something was holding her back. It was Sawyer. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked

"My name wasn't called." She said looking down.

"But mine was." He said. "You don't think I'm gonna leave you and the doc here alone do ya?" Sawyer asked smiling but Kate still looked sad. "Cheer up. We're Saved." He said

"I'm not." She mumbled. "I'm trapped." Her eyes became glassy.

"How are you trapped?" Sawyer asked.

"Do you know where the boat will lead me to? Right to the police."

"But if you stay here the police will come toyou." Saywer said looking confused.

"Hence me saying that I'm trapped." Kate said sarcasticly.

"Well do you have more of a chance escaping if you get on the boat or staying here?"

"I guess the boat." She said looking out on to the water.

"That still leaves us with a big decision." Sawyer said. "Who's going with us?"

"Well since it's really your choice I guess it will be whoever can pay the most right?" Kate said looking around at all the others who were hopelessly trying to get into a group.

"Nah." He said. "You can pick."

"Alright." She said "How about Rose?" Kate said looking up at Sawyer. "She's nice."

"One more." Sawyer said. Kate turned to the group of people again.

"You pick." She said to him.

"Larry." Sawyer said without hessitation.

"Why him?" Kate asked.

"That jackass found my passport yesterday and refuses to give it back. I figure if we take him he'll give it up."

"Okay. Fine with me. I'll go tell Rose and you tell Larry."

"Great idea Freckles." Sawyer said and they walked off in different directions. Kate was heading toward Rose but was cut off by Jack.

"Kate, Sun has an opening and she said you can go with her." Jack said.

"No thanks." Kate said.

"But if will give you a better chance to get away from the cops."

"I know." Kate continued walking ignoring Jack who contined to follow her. "Hey Rose." she said when she got to her. "Do you want a spot on that boat?"

"Yes. But who whould I go with?" Rose said.

"Kate you don't want to do this." said Jack.

"You can come with me and Saywer." Said Kate to Rose as Jack just staired at her. Rose thanked Kate and headed to her tent to get her things together.

"Sawyer?'' Jack demanded. "You are going him? You know that you are gonna be alone in a room with that guy. You don't know what he'll try."

"Why do you think I'm having Rose come too?" Kate said.

"Kate that ship is huge. There is no way that you are gonna be able to have Rose with you every second."

"Jack I am not a child I can take care of myself."

"You know what? I'll just take that spot with Sun." Jack said.

"You can't.You have to stay here and help anyone who get's hurt while they are waiting for the next boat." Jack knew she was right and there wasn't any point in arguing anymore.

"Fine." he said sounding defeated. He took a piece of paper and a pen out of his pocket, wrote something down and handed it to Kate. "That's my phone number in L.A. if it's still activated."

"I'll be okay. I can trust Sawyer even if you can't." Kate said.

"I hope you're right."
