Chapter 10: Shocks
It had been a couple of hours since Ana found out that Kate was the prisoner. She was furious that Jack didn't think that it wasn't important enough to tell her. All this time they had been on this side of the island and Ana began to now notice that nobody seemed to treat her any different. She had decided to head to caves and confront Jack.
When she arrived she found Jack just leaving for the beach to deliver water before the sun went down.
"How could not tell me?" yelled Ana.
"What?" said Jack.
"Kate." said Ana. "All the times we talked you didn't think her being a felon was an important enough issue."
Jack continue to walk to the beach with Ana walking furiously behind him. He knew that Ana would find out but he didn't know how she would react. A part of him was glad she came to him and not Kate
"Ana, calm down."
"Do you trust her?" said Ana.
"What?" said Jack.
"Do you trust her?" said Ana, her voice slightly raised than last time.
Jack didn't stop walking, he didn't want Ana to see him thinking the question over in his head. He knew that wouldn't help matters. He wasn't even sure of the answer but for the sake of peace he gave Ana the truest response he could.
"I trust her enough." said Jack.
"What the hell does that mean?" said Ana.
"It means that you shouldn't waste time worrying about Kate." said Jack.
By this time they had almost reached the beach and Jack decided to stop so that they didn't carry the argument into the camp and disturb everyone.
"Look, we've been on this island for almost two months. Everybody knows that Kate was with the marshal and everybody still trust her, we've all already dealt with the issue." said Ana.
"How can…"
Just as Ana was about to talk they heard one of the traps go off. Both Jack and Ana looked at each other and ran to the beach. When they got there they found Kate, Sayid, Sawyer and Locke all running towards them with the same look of panic.
"Did you see anything?" asked Sayid.
"No, you?" said Jack.
"Nothing." said Sayid.
At that moment they heard a rustling from behind them. They all turned to look from where the noise came from. Sayid stepped forward in front of the group.
"Wait." whispered Locke, putting his arm out to stop Sayid.
Slowly a figure started to appear in front of them and they were all shocked when they could finally see his face.
It was Michael.
Sorry, this is quite a short chapter.
