Chapter eight - Trust Me

Boone was furious he really couldn't believe Jack still had the heart to lie to Jordan, she deserved to know, for Christ sake, she was his own sister! He stopped suddenly as he spotted Jordan sitting by herself with her head bowed. He sighed sadly, walking up to her.

Jordan heard someone coming up to her, without looking to see who it was, she quickly brushed her tears away.

"Hey …" Boone said softly sitting next to Jordan, he hesitated to put his arm around her, he backed off when she shifted. "Look, Jack had no right to treat you the way he did."

Jordan stayed silent, avoiding eye contact.

Boone pondered before saying, "Your dad's body has to be out there somewhere …"

"It could be anywhere." Jordan turned to Boone for the first time.

Boon felt speechless for a moment when he realised his worst suspicions came clear, Jordan's eyes were red and puffy. She had been crying. He shook his head. "Look, through my tracks with Locke, I know this area pretty well. We could go searching."

"I don't think so." Jordan shook her head immediately dismissing the idea.

Boone scratched his head, he realised Jordan wasn't going to budge. He quickly got up and stood in front of her, then going down on his knees, she looked at him quizzically.

"Boone?" Jordan whispered, alerted, glancing around her, then back at Boone, he rested his hands on her knees, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. "What are you doing?"

"Jordan," Boone breathed in deeply, then letting it out. "I know the area okay? I am confident that if we go on track, that we'll find at least some answers, if not we won't stop until we do find something. Your dad's out there somewhere, I know he is and we'll find him. Jordan? Trust me, okay?"

Jordan stared at Boone, hard, as he said "Trust me." As much as she wanted to believe him, she couldn't find it in her heart.

"You have a hard time trusting people, huh?" Boone attempted again, scratching the back of his head as Jordan looked away. "We don't have to if you don't want to."

Jordan ran her fingers along the scar on her forehead. She closed her eyes for a moment then opened them to face Boone, she nodded. "Yeah. It's not you, really. Something tells me I should trust you. But yeah, I have a hard time trusting people, especially if I don't know them that well."

"Understandable." Boone nodded understanding where she's coming from, though he did feel sorry for her. He put his trusting hands on top of hers.

"I'm ready." Jordan piped up after awhile, staring down at their hands. She looked up to Boone, something inside of her told her to trust him. "I'm ready to find my dad."


I had some trouble with this chapter, like finishing it off, as nothing came to me whatsoever, but this chapter is sort of a 'fill-in' chapter, so I think I needed. I hope it's alright, it was the only ending I could come up with. R&R would be lovely.
