Chapter 3
Kate stirred, and slowly began to gain consciousness, she tiredly open her eyes and looked at her surroundings, where the hell am I? Kate lifted her head up, she appeared to be in a hut like structure, all the memories the day came back, the strange man, Jack telling her that she was attention seeking, crying, her toy airplane….OH MY GOD! She thought, TOMS AIRPLANE, I HAD IT IN MY HAND AND NOW IT'S GONE! Kate frantically tried to reach her trouser pocket but couldn't as she was tied up to a pole that ran from the ceiling to the ground. She let out an annoyed groan and the door swung open.
"Kate Austen?" Said the man standing in front of her, he was quiet tall, chunky and had short grey curly hair…it was Mr. Friendly or as Sawyer called him, Zeke. He was the guy that had Kate at Gunpoint only a week ago.
"Yes" She said, spitting at him.
"Well, twice in one week, Kate...What are we going to do with you" Zeke said, chuckling to himself.
"You took the words out of my mouth…what are you gonna do to me?" Kate said, glaring at the man.
"Well Kate, if looks could kill, I surest hell would be dead. Unfortunately Kate, you seem to have one of our people and a very important one of our people!" Zeke started to explain.
"I don't have one of your people, Jack and Locke have one of your people, I have nothing to do with it!" Said Kate.
"Still…Anyway Kate, you seem to have found out about one of our people and that means that we can no longer continue our experiment." Continued Zeke.
"Experiment?" A confused Kate asked.
"Experiment." Repeated Zeke.
"What experiment?" Asked Kate, suspiciously.
"I think it would be in your best interest if you didn't know that" Zeke said.
"Untie me!" Kate demanded, pulling at the binds.
"Now if I did that then you might try and escape" Replied Zeke.
"Why aren't you wearing your beard?" Kate asked changing the topic as she didn't have the energy to argue or put up a fight.
"Ah it itches like mad and it's not as if I need a disguise in front of you…cause your not going home!" He said, walking towards the exit.
"What do you mean, I'm not going home?…you can't keep me here forever!" Kate said, whispering the last part of her sentence.
"We can do whatever we want to you, Princess…we own you!" Zeke said as he left the hut.
What does he mean, own me? Kate thought, This was crazy, how was she supposed to get out of this? She closed her eyes and let the tears escape as she drifted off into the one place she could see the man she loved, for at the moment her dreams were the only place that she could see Jack.
