Rude Awakening
Kit groaned as she rolled over, her back stiff from the hard-packed ground beneath her. The sunlight trickled through the trees as she tried to push herself up. Her arms were pulled tightly behind her.
"Damn, what'd you get yourself into now, Kit?" she muttered to herself.
"It'll go easier for you if you tell me where they're keeping her," Ethan's voice came from the darkening jungle around her.
"Who?" Kit demanded.
"The girl - the pregnant girl."
"I - I haven't seen her! I thought she was still missing!" Kit lied.
"Where is Claire?"
"I really couldn't tell you," Kit snapped.
"You watchers are all alike!"
"Watchers?" she asked quietly.
"Not keeping your end of the bargain, sending a spy to come check up on our progress. It's not enough that you activated them?"
"Who?" Kit asked.
"Them! The test subjects! Making them invalid!"
"What test subjects?"
"What test subjects? The girls!"
Ethan's laugh cut through her, chilling her to her very core. Kit pushed herself to her feet and ran, dodging through the dark jungle that threatened to close in and suffocate her. She stumbled as she pushed forward, running harder than she had in her whole life.
Finally, she saw the blinding light of the beach, and pushed harder. She collided heavily with Hurley, stumbling in the sun-saoked sand, her chest heaving.
"Kit? What's wrong? Kit?"
"Ethan."
