Chapter 9
"We're here" Locke said, as he stopped by a tree, "The plane is just through this opening". Locke pointed to a small opening of trees.
"Get your guns out, and follow me" Jack said, confidently.
Sawyer and Locke exchanged glances but followed Jack's lead, the three men crept through the trees and gasped when they saw what was in front of them. There was the burnt plane but it had been moved to reveal the entrance to a hatch.
"She's in there" Jack whispered, pointing to the door.
"How do you know that?" Sawyer asked, giving Jack a skeptical look.
"I just…know, Ok?" Jack hissed, edging closer to the hatch door.
"Wait" Whispered Locke, "If what you're saying is true Jack, then we are going to need more than three men with hand guns to stop these people!"
"What do suggest then Locke, because by the time we get an army together, it is more than likely that the Others have moved on!" Spat Jack, frustrated.
"If you and Sawyer keep guard, I'll go back and get Sayid and a few other people…but I'll need to know where the guns are Sawyer!" Said Locke, raising both eyebrows.
"In my tent, under the blue blanket" Sawyer replied, looking defeated.
Locke nodded and walked off.
Jack started pacing, murmuring to himself.
"You alright Jacko?" Sawyer asked, truly concerned.
"I'm fine, Sawyer" Jack answered, rudely.
"I was only asking Doc, you don't have to bite my head off" Sawyer said, pretending to look offended.
Jack just gave him an angry look and then continued pacing. I don't have time for this, where the hell is Locke? Said Jack to himself.
Locke walked through some trees and came onto the sandy beach, he scanned the setting for Sayid.
"You alright, Dude?" Said a voice from behind, Locke turned around, Hurley was standing there smiling, Locke smiled back.
"I'm fine, thank you…would you be interested in helping me?" Locke asked, turning his expression back to serious.
"With what, dude?" Questioned Hurley.
"Jack, Sawyer and I, may have found Kate but we need more men for safety reasons as we don't know the exact number of people who may have Kate!" Explained Locke.
"You mean like an army?" Hurley asked.
"Yeah, like an army" Locke agreed.
"Well, I guess it's for Kate so sure man" Hurley said, and followed Locke to Sawyers tent.
"While I get the guns, could you find Sayid for me please" Locke asked Hurley.
"Ok, dude" Said Hurley, leaving Locke to get the guns.
About five minutes later Hurley returned with Sayid and the three men turned to go back to the newly found hatch. But were stopped by shouting and screaming.
"LOOK, OVER THERE!"
"WHAT IS IT?"
"BOAT"
"BOAT, BOAT"
"WERE SAVED!"
"IT'S RESCUE"
"What?" Locke said, swiftly turning around, and sure enough he could see a large ship on the horizon…
