Allabelle: Yeah, they did tell lock to leave, but he ended up getting trapped inside, and is now missing again. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Meganfritz: lol. Yeah, I'm sure Charlie would be very happy to have a naked Claire running around, although the fact that other men can see might not be to pleasing. Glad you liked it so far. I'll try to keep up the suspense.

Spice of Life: lol. Yeah, Locke's a douche. He used to be cool, but no one can mess with Charlie.

Locke stumbled throug the hall way, clinging to the walls to guide him as he made his way down the hall. He was panicking. Trying to remeber what had happened in his mind. Everything jumbled up and confused. He couldn't quite place it.

There was a ruble in the distance that cought his attention. He looked towards the sound, though at first, he couldn't see a thing. But as the door to the storage room rolled open, he could make out a light from inside. It was small, not enough to give any form of iliumination. Curious to see what it was, he moved forward, a bit afriad to leave the wall he'd pressed himself against, knowing there was plenty of clutter for him to trip over in the space between him and the room where they'd held their prisoner not to long ago.

But the little blinking light was there for a reason, and he was going to find it. He walked slowly with his arms streched out befor him like a zombie as he made his way across the cluttered room, careful not to bump into anything.

After what seemed like an eternity of slow steps and tripping over random object across the floor he made it to the door way, holding onto the door fram as he pered inside. He couldn't see very well. The blinknig light remained in the corner, and he would have to walk inside in order to figure out what it was. He took a deep breath and steeped forward so that he was now inside the room, turning quickly as the door rolled shut behind him. He turned around in a panic, trying to grab hold of it before it shut completly. No use. It was now locked. Completly dark except for the blinking light.

"Hey! Someone open the door!" Locke shouted in a panic, banging his fist against the steel door. His brow began to sweat in alarm as he tried his best to grab the other's attention. "Let me out!" He begged, feeling as if he would suffocate in the tiny dark room. It was no use. They couldn't hear him. He let out a heavy sigh as he leaned against the wall, breathing hard as he tried to calm himself down.

The sound of panting and his heart beating rapidly in his chest pounded in his ears, worping his all to fragile mind before another sound emerged. The low, sinister and distubing sound of laughter erupting from the corner where the tiny light cotenuied to blink.

Meanwhile...

Charlie and Claire had lowered themselves to the floor. If they were going to be stuck in that hall way all night, there was no point in standing up. Chalrie sat with his back against the wall, mindlesly running his fingers through Clairs dripping hair as she curled up in his lap, her arms still around his waist, although they weren't squeezing quite as tightly now that she was almost asleep.

He lead his head back and let his eyes fall shut, listoning to the soft sound of foot steps on the other side of the big steel door as the men shuffled around, trying to figure out how to get the doors back open. Desmond had tried messing with the wires, but nothing seemed to be working. What ever force that was controlling the doors seemed to know alot more about the hatch then he did.

He contenuied to pace back and forth as he raked his mind, wondering how this was posible. Sayid watched him from his position on the floor, leaning back against the leg of the table which the computer rested on with heavy eyes.

"Could you please stop that" He questioned drowsily, his voice low and weighted with exaustion. "Sorry" Desmond replied, instantly stoping in his tracks after realizing he'd been doing it. He let out a big sigh before heading over to the corner and taking a seat on the floor. If they'er were gonna be here all night, they might as well try to get some sleep.
