Jack sat up with his back feeling extremely moist from the wet leaves that he had fallen on. As he sat up he looked around and noticed that the woods looked reasonably darker than they had when he had first entered the jungle. He felt his forehead and could feel a huge bump. It was then when he realized that someone had hit him. Still dazed from being hit he shook Kate until she wearily opened her eyes, "Jack."
Jack carefully helped Kate up and brushed the dirt off her back, "I think it's safe to assume that whoever hit us took Ana Lucia."
Kate shook her head, feeling the matching bump that had appeared on her head, "Do you remember anything?"
"No," Jack shook his head as he slowly began to stand up. He helped Kate.
As Kate got up she huddled into Jack's arms. It had been the second time that she had had a run in with one of the others and each run in seemed scarier than the next. She wondered about the note and that if the person could be someone that they knew. She must have looked out of it because the next thing she knew Jack was waving his hand in front of her face, "Kate, Kate. Are ready to go back?"
Kate nodded, "Alright, let's go."

Mr. Eko had been spending a quiet evening by himself, but it wasn't until he saw Siid appear from the jungle that he took the time to question him, after all he thought it was strange that someone had been in the jungle at dusk.
"Eko," Siid nodded his head in respect as he brushed by him on the way to his tent.
Mr. Eko took a few steps toward Siid, "Are you aware that Ana Lucia has disappeared?"
Siid stopped and turned to look at Mr. Eko. He brushed his curly black hair back and sighed, "Yes, I am aware."
Mr. Eko smiled slyly, "Would you happen to have any ideas of what happened to her?"
"The woman shot Shannon, why should I have any interest into where she would go?" Siid said beginning to sound defensive.
"Yes, but that gives you all the reason to want her to disappear," Mr. Eko explained.
Siid frowned at the accusation of kidnapping one of their own, "I think you are mistaken. She probably went hunting after something in the jungle and has yet to come back. I think you should get your facts straight before you point your finger."
Mr. Eko nodded and walked away without a word as Siid stood there baffled by the thought that someone had actually accused him of kidnapping a woman that he barely knew. He began to think about the past events of the day and hoped that no one would question where he had been for the past five hours…

I violently pushed the leaves and branches out of my way as I sprinted through the jungle back to camp. "I hope they didn't see me, I hope they didn't see me," I keep repeating to myself as the scene replays in my mind. I remember running back to camp where I see the two figures, Jack and Kate. Afraid of confrontation, of which I had faced one to many, I did the only thing I could do. Knock them out. All I can hope for is that they have no memory of the incident, which will make things a hell of a lot easier for me back at camp. I was already getting enough grief as it was. I kept running even though my body was telling me that it couldn't run any further. I saw the opening to camp and once I hit the edge I stopped and began panting heavily. I was hoping that no one would notice me until I had regained my breath and wandered back into camp unnoticed, well it wasn't until I heard that little voice, "Hurley…?"
