Chapter 7

"KATE?" Jack called, "I'M HERE!"

"Jack"

"Kate" Jack breathed a sigh of relief, for a minute he thought that she wasn't coming.

Kate was once again wearing her white gown, she gracefully walked up to Jack and opened up he palm, Jack was desperate to know what was in there, he hadn't found the pearl and he was hoping for another clue, he got one. Kate handed him a toy airplane, not like the one he kept in his pocket that was all he had left of Kate, but a yellowy colored one. He twiddled it through his fingers and looked up, once again Kate had vanished.

Again Jack woke up and straight away looked to see what he held in his hand. He stayed sitting down as he played with the toy airplane, it was the one Locke had described at Boones funeral. Jack knew where he had to go and got up and headed back towards the hatch, he knew that the plane was near there plus he needed help. Jack had a feeling in his gut that this would be the last clue he would get as he was going to save Kate this time.

Jack arrived at the hatch entrance and took a moment to breath before entering, he had been gone for just under a month now and he knew his appearance would be a shock.

He cautiously entered to come face to face with John Locke.

"JACK" Shouted Locke.

"John" Jack replied, nodding his head as a greeting.

"Well, I won't say I'm not surprised to see you, but welcome back" Locke said, smiling.

Jack smiled half heartedly, "Actually Locke, I'm kind of here because I need your help".

Locke raised an eyebrow, "With what, Jack?" Locke asked, curiously.

"I need you to show me exactly where the plane is that killed Boone" Jack said, simply.

"May I ask why?" said Locke.

"I'll explain on the way" Jack said, gesturing to the hatch exit.

"Lets go" Locke said, walking to the hatch door.

"I need a gun" Jack said.

"Sawyer has the guns, Jack!" Locke replied.

"Then we need to go to the beach" Jack said, and the two men ran through the jungle on the path to the beach.

Sawyer sat gloomily in his tent, he couldn't get Kate out his head, he was no way near as determined as Jack but he was still crazy about her. Freckles. Sawyer sighed and closed his eyes, but opened them immediately as someone ran into his tent. JACK?

"Sawyer!" Jack exclaimed

"Jack?" Sawyer questioned, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"I need a gun, Sawyer!" Stated Jack.

"Sure, but whatever your doing, I'm coming with you!" Sawyer said, picking up two guns and they both walked out the tent flap.

"Are we ready now?" Locke asked.

Jack nodded and the three men set out into the jungle on the mission to find a very important woman.
