Chapter 8
Exchange
When Jack woke up Kate was lying next to him on her stomach. "Kate, it's time to go and exchange Gale for Walt,"Jack whispered.
"Five more minutes,"Kate replied moving onto her stomach.
"Kate come on,"Jack laughed standing up and helping Kate up. "Your mean you know that,"Kate moaned rubbing her eyes.
"You'll learn to love me,"Jack replied.
"Keep dreaming,"Kate joked taking Jack's hand.
Back on the beach Sawyer, Ana and Eko were sitting around a campfire. They were bored stiff. Eko and Ana had already regretted choosing Sawyer over Jack. The only reason Ana chose Sawyer was because she couldn't stand Kate being near Jack. Eko only chose Sawyer because of Ana even though he hated Sawyer. "Sawyer why couldn't you just accept that Kate's with Jack and then none of this 'sides' would have happened. The Doc's camp are probably having a lot more fun than we are,"Eko moaned.
"Shut up Kate will finish with Jack as soon as she realises that he's not right for her. Remember she's a fugitive as soon as we get off this island she's going straight to jail. She'll probably get life. Jack just needs to be reminded of that," Sawyer explained.
"What are you going to do?" Ana asked.
"That would be telling,"Sawyer replied raising his eyebrows.
About two hours later Jack and Kate had gotten to the line between the others and the oceanic survivors. Zeke was waiting.
"I hear you wanted to make an exchange,"Zeke asked.
"That's right,"Kate replied.
"Ok, we'll exchange Walt for Kate," Zeke replied.
"What that's not going to happen. We'll exchange Gale for Walt. No-one else," Jack replied.
"No, Kate,"Zeke replied.
"No your not taking her not again, she's staying!"Jack yelled.
"If you want Walt you'll give her to me,"Zeke replied.
"Jack don't. I don't want to go with them, I want to stay with you,"Kate cried.
"But Walt,"Jack protested.
"Well,"Zeke asked.
"Fine,"Jack replied.
"What? Jack, Jack no come on,"Kate sobbed grabbing Jack's arm.
"I'm sorry I'll figure this out,I'll get you back,"Jack replied tears forming in his eyes. Zeke pushed Walt over the line and he grabbed Kate. Zeke tied a rope around Kates wrist.
They started walking to the edge of the jungle. Kate turned to look at Jack tears falling down her cheeks. Jack would have burst out crying then if Walt hadn't been there. He couldn't stand the look on Kate's fave disappointment, confused and heartbreak. Jack watched as Kate disappeared from his view before turning around and walking back into the jungle.
