A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I have no idea how you end these Lost stories. They seem to have no ending. Actually no story really does. I suppose when a boat arrives, but that sounds kinda dumb. Don't worry, I don't want to end this story yet.

Chapter 6

Jack looked at the panic stricken expression on Jin. Henry held Sun tightly, ready to break her neck.

Henry began to speak in Korean to Jin, "Now I wasn't happy when you took away my test subjects Jin. You drove me to do this, but I have a proposal."

Jin shot back, "You disgraceful filth! If you do anything to her-

"If you want your wife to go free, then I will agree to make a trade." Henry continued in fluent Korean, "Your life for hers. If you give yourself up to me, I shall let her go." Henry explained.

"Jin! Don't do it!" Sun cried out to her husband.

Jin was filled with emotion. Jack could see the conflict in his eyes. "Sun, I love you, and I can't allow them to take you or our baby. I will go, only if you let her and my friends go." Jin shouted boldly back to Henry.

"See that worked out quite nicely. Besides, Jack and the others already served their purpose."

Jack, hearing his name, demanded to know what they were talking about but he was ignored.

"Jin, I love you! I can't have our baby without you!" Sun pleaded.

"It's the only way." Jin replied in defeat. He cautiously walked over to Henry. Out of no where an Other sprang and grabbed him. Sun was released and fell to the ground.

"Jin, please don't leave me again!" She pleaded.

Jin looked sadly at his wife. His hands were tied and he was lead off.

"Hey!" Jack called out.

Henry turned around looking at him.

"Where are Sayid, Kate, and Sawyer?" Jack shouted, determined to find out some answers.

"Well after they tied me up an all, they proceeded to leave and return back here. Wherever they are now is none of my concern." Henry spoke to Jack.

"Then how did you escape?" Jack asked.

Henry laughed coldly, "Come now Jack, escaping is simple when you are in your own den."

"So that's it? You're totally fine with losing three people you worked so hard to capture. How do I know you're not lying? You may be holding them somewhere else." Jack persisted.

"Don't move!" Sayid's voice rang out over the shallow cliffs and rocks.

Jack's eyes scanned the scenery and saw the shadowy figure of Sayid with a riffle. Henry grabbed Jin and whipped out a knife. It glittered in the darkness against Jin's neck. "You survivors are like roaches!" He spat, losing his temper, "Even Danielle wasn't this difficult!"

"Jack!" Kate called over to him exhausted. Sawyer was slumped over her shoulder. Jack hurried over to her and helped carry him onto the boat. He was relieved that she was okay. Sun smiled, glad to see them back, but her face was wet with tears.

Sayid and Henry looked like two statues in the night. Neither of them had moved. Sayid's mind was like lightning. He sifted through ideas on how to trick Henry.

"I have a very reliable shot." Sayid called out, trying to intimidate him.

"My, my. Last time I remember when you and I had fun in the hatch. When you gave me those scars and beat me into a bloody pulp. Those were precious memories Sayid." Henry sneered.

"Give him back to us!" Sayid demanded, "You have no right to take him. What has he ever done to you?"

"I'm sorry, but this world doesn't work that way, neither does yours." Henry said with malice, "We had an agreement. Sun goes free for Jin. Now please drop your weapon or you will seriously regret it."

"Your threats are empty. You would never kill him." Sayid continued, "If you need him so much."

"Precisely," Henry said coldly.

A whizzing sound flew out of the bushes and a dart hit Sayid in the arm. He dropped the gun and fell to the ground in pain. Sayid's mind could only focus on the zapping sting throughout his whole body.

Jack and Kate ran up the hill where Sayid was writhering and yanked the dart out of his arm. Kate looked back and saw that Henry was gone. As Sayid regained his ability to move, he pounded his fists into the ground in fury. Henry would suffer for this. Now because of him, Jin was gone.

Jack tried to calm him down and helped him to the boat. Sayid collapsed next to Sawyer. Jack couldn't help wondering how he could have let this happen. How could the Others have easily manipulated and outmaneuvered them? This initially had been his plan, but he had failed miserably and now Jin had to pay the price.


Locke awoke breathing heavily. The last few minutes before the hatch blew were still fresh in his mind. He could feel the hatch quivering and the loud blaring siren in his ears. 'System Failure' over and over again. As Desmond descended below, Eko entered the shaking computer room bloodied. Metal object flew through the air hitting the walls and defying gravity. And all Locke had said was, "I was wrong!" Those three dreadful words.

What had he done? He had made a terrible and maybe even deadly mistake. His faith was wrong! Now innocent people were suffering because of him. He had done nothing to help. This all started when Boone and I found the hatch. I was responsible for his death and now others as well, he thought.

Despite the sourness of his body, Locke forced himself to get up. It was still dark and the camp was asleep. Sheer will power allowed Locke to walk. He was going back to the hatch. He had to find the others.

Locke painfully made his way into the forest, following the path almost blindly, for he didn't need to look where he was going. He had memorized every twist and turn of it. All those wasted days migrating back and forth to push the button.

Now, Locke dragged himself to the set of metal doors leading into the wreckage he was pulled out from. The night creatures sang in the darkness, communicating between them as they watched the man. Locke threw open the doors and stared into the blackness. Without hesitation, he entered.

Immediately, he ran into some metal and debris. Locke reached into his pocket and pulled out some matches. He fumbled in the dark, trying to light them. He fetched a torch and soon was able to see in front of him.

As Locke continued, he came across an impassible wall of concrete and metal. Furiously, he began to dig through it, cutting his hands on sharp and jagged edges. Locke didn't notice the pain; he was too focused on getting through and finding Eko and Desmond. How could he have let this happen to them?

After some time, Locke made a small passage reaching through to the other side. It was just big enough for him to squeeze through it. Locke pulled himself into it and forced his way farther. The wreckage shifted dangerously, but he made it out, getting to the other side. His cloths were ripped from the metal snagging on it.

"Eko? Desmond?" He called out. Locke relit the torch and headed further into the hatch. He stumbled into the computer room and over to the trapdoor. Locke almost fell right into it because the trapdoor had been yanked off its hinges.

"Desmond!" He tilted the torch into the cavern looking for any hint of life. The light only shined on rubble. Locke entered the pitch black interior and saw that most of it had collapsed in on itself. He realized with dread that there was no way Desmond would have survived the cave in. Concrete blocks had fallen everywhere and as he breathed in, he coughed. There was so much dust in the air and it had not even settled yet.

Locke tried to pull a wooden board out and make his way through when he heard a loud creak. He wouldn't be able to move anything without it collapsing further. If that happened then the floor of the hatch could fall in.

Angrily, Locke returned to the computer room to search for Eko. He spotted the computer monitor lying on the ground and kicked it hard.

"Why! Why did this happen! Why me!" He screamed as he picked the monitor up and threw it at a wall. The remaining glass shattered and echoed off the stone walls. He was no use around here. All he ever could do was work in a box company with younger, faster, and smarter employees making him incompetent. Who was he kidding? He was no safari jungle samurai; he was an old, useless man!

"Help!" A voice from the wreckage emerged, just barely audible.

Locke heard the weak cry for help and ran over to it, "Eko?"

"Please…"

Locke began to dig as fast as possible. He remembered being stuck in the ruins, its crushing weight pressing down on his chest. He had never felt so frightened in his life and had believed that he would die there all alone. It was exactly like being trapped in a tomb. Locke had drifted in and out of consciousness, but he still knew what was happening to him.

At the moment, he needed to save Eko from the same fate he had escaped only hours ago. Finally, Locke cleared all the dirt and rubble away and found the large man sprawled on the ground.

"Eko! Are you hurt?" Locke asked worried.

"Hello," Eko smiled. His body was a mess. He was covered in burns, scrapes, bruises, and dirt. But nonetheless, he seemed strangely tranquil.

"I'm sorry," Locke gave in to his emotions, "I should have listened to you."

"God will forgive you." Eko managed to get out, "Please tell Charlie to finish my church." He whispered.

"Wait Eko," Locke pleaded. This was just like Boone. He was responsible again for an innocent life being taken, "you need to live. You can't just die."

"My brother, I want to join you. I am so sorry for my past. Please Lord; I want to join my brother with you." Eko whispered as he stared at something unseen.

"Eko, I'm sorry." Locke said again.

Eko closed his eyes and his breathing grew weaker, "The Lord must take me now." His chest slowly stopped rising and he lay motionless.

"Eko," Locke spoke softly. He stayed there in the darkness of the ruined hatch next to the great man of faith he had killed.
