I know who you are, Austin. It was all that was running through Kate's head. All she could see was the gun aiming at her, and the smirk on her face. She thinks she's won.

When she had heard her voice for the first time, she could hear the formalness in it. When she turned around, she could see how Ana Lucia was use to the position she was in. When she had finally heard the words that she had said properly, and her face had changed, she could sense how Ana Lucia was feeling. She was a cop. Kate knew. She's avoided them most of her life by distinguishing their movements and personalities. Why didn't I figure it out earlier?

Kate just stood there, not knowing what to do. Everyone around was asleep. She knew that within 15 minutes, there will be many people up. But until then, they were alone.

'Wh-where did you get the gun from?' it was all that she dared to ask. Anything else, and she may not look as innocent as she is. Which is not much.

Ana Lucia's smirk was gone and her face filled with disgust. 'Why? Do you want one?'

Kate didn't understand what she meant. She kept her eyes on the gun. One of her hands was behind her back, touching the wall behind her. The other was in front of her, ready to fight incase she had to.

'Don't even think about it. I can shoot you in the time it takes for you to move.' She said when she saw Kate's eyes darting around. Granted, she was looking for a place to run, but she was also looking to see if there was anyone nearby. She would never had let anyone help her before but now, please, let someone come by.

'H-how did you know?' Kate whispered. The silence of the place and the tension surrounding the two women was suffocating her, and she wanted to get answers. And stall her.

Ana Lucia's smirk was back. She pointed the gun even higher, now aiming at Kate's throat. She stepped closer as Kate backed up. The hand behind her back was now flat against the wall, but there was still space before her back would be against it.

'How did I know? How do you think?' she paused for a moment. Kate knew it was a rhetorical question, but the look on her face must have been of confusion or question as Ana Lucia carried on.

'I recognised your face. I saw the look in your eyes. You know, every murderer has a look in their eyes. It stays with them forever.' She emphasised the lasted word as she spat out the whole sentence.

Kate was now getting angry. She didn't care that Ana Lucia was the one with the gun and she was totally unarmed. How could she be so hypocritical?

'How do you think they will feel when they find out that this… this… innocent act is fake? And the girl behind the mask is a murderer?'

Kate was now as pissed off as she could get. How dare she call her a murderer when she was one too?

'What about you? What will they say when they find out that you killed one of us? '

The last five words were drowned out by footsteps approaching. They were louder than normal and Kate guessed that the person, no, people, were running. She was pleased to hear them. But she was even more pleased to see the look on her opponent's face.

Ana Lucia was shocked. She didn't know that she had known. How could she use that against me? It was a different scenario! She told herself.

She hadn't noticed that there were now three more people who had joined them. On the right hand side of them, near the trees, Hurley, Michael and, of course, Jack were standing, struggling to take in the sight in front of them. One of which Ana Lucia was standing with a gun pointed straight at Kate's throat, while she was almost against the wall behind her.

'That was different.' Ana Lucia had thought out load. She had whispered it, but Kate was able to hear it. She hadn't dared to look at the people who had just joined them, but she just knew hat Jack was there. If he's here, then I'll be ok she thought.

'Ana!' Jack had yelled. He wasn't the type to do things so irrationally, but when Kate was on the other side of a gun, nothing went rationally.

Ana Lucia finally snapped out of her own world and turned to see the other three men. There wee now a couple more people gathering around. Yet she still refused to let down her gun. She wasn't going to let the fugitive go just because they were there. This was exactly what she had wanted anyway. To let everyone know who the girl was.

'Let her go.' Jack was now pleading with her. He knew that she was a cop, and that it was only time until she found out. But he didn't know that she would do this.

Ana Lucia shook her head. 'No. Everyone's got the right to know the truth.'

A murmur now filled the crowd of people who had gathered nearby. Jack came closer to the women, while Michael drew up his gun.

'Put the gun down, otherwise I will shoot.' She warned. Being in the force, she knew how to negotiate with people, even if it meant saying things that she wouldn't want to do.

Jack whipped his head around to look at Michael. He was torn into two. To do as she says, or to go against her and help protect Kate. After a minute, Michael put the gun down and backed away with his hands up as if he was surrendering. He knew what she was capable of doing.

'What has she done to you?' Charlie had piped up out of the crowd, from behind Ana Lucia. He was standing in front of Claire and Aaron, protecting them. He had a frown on his face.

'It's not me who she has done something to. Do you want me to tell them, or do you want to?' she asked, facing back to Kate.

Kate was still shocked. She had thought that she would lower her gun when the others had came. Now Kate stood terrified. She really wants to do this. Kate closed her eyes for a moment.

'She's a fugitive.' Ana Lucia had exclaimed. She faced back to Kate, who had now opened her eyes and stared right back at her. She now understood what she had meant by the look that murderers had in their eyes.

But the reaction that she had received was what shocked Ana Lucia the most. There was silence all around. But it wasn't an uncomfortable silence in which everyone was shocked. It was different.

'Dude, we know.' Hurley finally said.

Ana Lucia looked from person to person, and finally stopped at Jack. The look on his face was of sympathy for Kate, but disgust at her.

'Do you know what she did?' she asked now. The question was directed at Jack, but it also enthralled everyone else around. Jack hadn't said anything, and neither did anyone else.

Ana Lucia faced Kate. She stepped closer to her. Kate now stepped back so that her back was now flat back against the wall.

'She murdered her father.' Kate now looked down with guilt. 'She made it look like an accident, but her mother ratted her out.' Kate now looked up at her. She then turned her head to the right to see Jack. She looked at him. His face was filled with sympathy, but his eyes were filled with shock. Her eyes started to water.

'Then she murdered two other people, included T-'

'Don't you say his name!' Kate yelled. She was no longer upset that everyone knew her secret, she was livid, to say the least. Ana Lucia was now smirking.

'He didn't deserve to die for you!' she spat out. She was starting to back up a bit, but not much, and she still had her gun pointing at Kate's throat.

'Hey! Stop it right now!' Jack snapped. But Ana Lucia took no notice, so he started to get closer.

'Come any closer, and I'll shoot.' She warned. Jack stopped in his tracks. He didn't want to take any chances.

As Ana Lucia was focusing on Jack, Kate had tried to run for it, only to get caught out.

Ana Lucia now had the gun pointing right up to head with it ready to fire. She was no longer near the wall, but more closer to Jack. Jack she thought. Then a memory came to her. If she could only get to Jack. What were they talking about before they had came?

'Did- did Shannon deserve to die because of you?' she had said before she could help it. Now everyone around was shocked silent. Then a murmur started up.

'That was different!' she practically yelled.

'Oh my god. It was you?' a voice had came from behind. Everyone had turned to see Sun speak out loud.

The exclamation had spoken for everyone. It was what everyone was thinking.

A murmur had once again risen throughout the crowd, until Locke asked:

'How was that different?'

The crowd went quiet, anxious to hear the story, the explanation of Shannon's death. But Ana Lucia just stood. She didn't know what to say. They wouldn't understand. They'll still blame me.

'It just was.' She finally said. 'I don't have to explain myself!'

'Then what gives you a right to do this to Kate?' Jack had asked, anger this his voice.

'I'm a cop, that's what!'

'Was a cop. Not anymore. Not on this island.'

'Well, you're still a doctor. So why's it different for me?'

'That is different!' Hurley had now piped up.

Ana Lucia was amazed to see the reaction of these people. She had thought they would be on her side, letting everyone know what kind of people they are living with. But instead they were against her. They really don't understand. They've been fooled by her

As Ana Lucia was thinking this, her hand with the gun had dropped slightly. Her grip on the gun had loosened a bit so that it wasn't pointing upright at Kate. Kate, fortunately, had noticed this. With a quick movement, she went to seize the gun out of Ana Lucia's hand. But Ana Lucia, too, had noticed this and immediately moved the gun out of her way.

Unfortunately, the grip on the gun was still loose, so that as she flung her hand out of the way of Kate's hand, it came out of her hand and fell to the floor a couple of feet away from them to the left, where no one was standing.

It took a couple of seconds for this to absorb into everyone's head, especially Kate and Ana Lucia's.

But Kate was the first to react. She took off to the right towards Jack. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close, as she buried her head into his shoulder, glad to be there.

But Jack was still staring at Ana Lucia, who had taken off towards the gun. But before she could grab it, someone else had picked it up. As he followed the hand which picked it up, Jack wouldn't have been surprised if he had pointed the gun at Ana Lucia now.

Sayid had known that she had shot Shannon, he had been there, but it being brought out like this must've hurt.

Kate had now lifted her head up and was staring to look at the scene before her. Everyone else was so quiet, that the waves could have been easily heard.

But Sayid gave the gun back to the girl before him, and turned and walked off. It wasn't until he had disappeared that Kate realised what was going on. She's got the gun!

Ana Lucia turned around to face Kate, who had stood up straight to look her in the eye, but still held onto Jack.

Ana Lucia had a look of disgust on her face. 'I don't know how you can live with her. It's only time until she does it again.' She spat. Jack had open his mouth to say something, but stopped when Kate squeezed his arm. Jack looked over at her, and then sighed and faced Ana Lucia again.

She turned on the spot and walked out of the caves area. She had walked past some of the survivors, who had cleared the way for her to walk. Not out of respect, but out of uncomfort of being close to someone who murdered one of them.

Kate saw this and wondered. Is that what's going to happen to me?

As if he had read her mind, Jack pulled Kate closer again, and hugged her. Kate let herself go, and was glad to be where she was. Jack continued to stroke her hair comfortably as he ask

'Are you ok? Did she do anything to you? What happened?'

Kate just shook her head to all. She wasn't ok, she hadn't done anything and she didn't want to say what happened. Well not yet.

''k. It's 'k.' he replied, kissing the top of her head.

Jack knew how this was not true. It's not even close. Now that people knew, now that he knew there will be differences. And they weren't gonna be good. But now wasn't the time to admit, or think about, it.

As he held Kate close to him, the crowd around began to disperse, until it was only him and her standing there. Kate stepped back a bit and looked at him in the eyes.

'Thank you.'

'Anything for you.' He simply replied. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Kate's waist.

'C'mon. We oughta get you back to the hatch. You're shaking.'

'No I'm not.'

Jack laughed. Even in the state she was in, she could be so stubborn. 'If you say so. I've got to get back to Sawyer anyway.' He remembered about him all of sudden. It was ironic how Sawyer was always the reason that they headed back to a place that they needed to go.

Kate nodded. She didn't want to think about Sawyer again. She was holding onto Jack's arm, and was rather tired. But she couldn't help but think about Ana Lucia. Why was she so hell-bent on getting me? It isn't just because she's a cop, I can tell. It's personal.

But how it was personal, Kate didn't know. Only Ana Lucia did. Or so she thought.

My longest chappie:) Was it worth it?

So….

What's going to happen when Sawyer finds out?

And what is Ana Lucia's reason for hating Kate?

Is there one even? (Probably... I've got to think of one mind…)

Well… read on!

Lolz, review yeah!
