Mysteries revealed
The man known as Henry Gale sat in the gun vault inside the Dharma hatch called the "Swan" The past few days were very strange to him. Just a few hours ago, a series of "blast doors"came down and endangered the life of himself and another man named John Locke. Gale remembered when the blast door came down on Locke's leg, impaling it on one of the spikes at the bottom of the steel door. He sat on the bench, reading "The Brothers Karamazov" quietly, when two people started into the gun vault. They were Sayid Jarrah and Ana-Lucia Cortez, Sayid immediately turned towards Gale and pinned him against the wall of the gun vault, Ana-Lucia watched Sayid closely. Henry shot out to Sayid "What do you want?" Sayid's eyes widened and he said angrily "Tell me where the rest of you are!" Gale's eyes filled with fear and he stuttered out "I told you about them! You have no idea what he'll do to me!" Ana-Lucia immediately shouted out to Gale "The Guy with the beard?" Henry laughed slightly and said "Him? He's nothing! No one…He is not our leader!" Sayid quickly pulled out his gun from his back pocked and pointed it to Gale's head, He yelled to him "You have three seconds to tell me what I want to know!" Gale quivered at the sight of the gun, he yelled out "He'll kill me!" Sayid shot back, yelling loudly "I'll kill you!" Gale turned to look Sayid in the eyes and yelled out "I am not a bad person!" Sayid held his gun still and said slowly "….Three" Gale immediately shot up and said quickly "Ok! Dr. Candel is in the Flame station! The closest hatch to this one! There were originally eight hatches on this island…One was destroyed in the Cerberus incident of 1985. We relocated at the personal order of Alvar Hanso…I was relocated to the Staff hatch, About twenty nine or so days ago…one of ours, his name was Ethan.." Sayid stopped him and said "You knew Ethan Rom?" Gale shook his head and said "We were good friends..." Henry Gale continued "…He brought a young girl named Claire to the station for our experiment, But two days later she escaped, with a little help from one of ours...a traitor named Alex Rousseau." Sayid's eyes widened as he remembered what Danielle said about her daughter, who was captured by the others when she was only days old. Henry's story continued "..I was supposed to perform the operation, we were to take out the child for testing and leave the young girl for dead. When she escaped, Dr. Candle ordered a full evacuation of the Staff facility…We were evacuating when I came upon a African-American man." Ana-Lucia stopped him and said "Michael?" she turned to Sayid, who nodded slightly "He had a pretty good weapon on him, so I decided to go a different way…That's when that crazy French woman sprung her homemade trap on me.." The countdown buzzer started to ring through out the hatch, Henry looked around and counted in his head…he said to the others "You might want to have a person in the living space, There's going to be a periodic ration drop any minute now…I should show you the secret of the Blast doors and what they mean…"He stood up, Sayid and Ana behind him…Locke limped towards Henry and said to him "I saw what was on the blast doors, Henry…but I can't decript what it says, That's your job…"Henry nodded and walked into the living quarters with Locke, Sayid, Ana, while Jack was in the computer room…waiting for the signal. Suddenly, the female voice sounded over the loudspeakers, starting the countdown in a garbled voice "24…23…22…21…20…19…18" Henry said quietly as the female voice counted down "And now we wait…" The voice started to reach the end "…5…4…3…2…1…0" The blast doors came down loudly and the living space was locked-down. They listened as they heard the countdown timer get louder and faster….The noise suddenly stopped. Some engines started to rev up, Locke knew what was happening, he said quietly "The Hieroglyphics are in place of the countdown numbers…." Without warning, the hatch started to shake violently, Locke fell to the ground as did the others. A man's voice came over the loudspeakers "That was not smart Doctor…After we evacuated from the Staff, when you encountered the one they call "Michael"…You were suppose to lead them into the trap! You will pay for your incompetence!" Henry shouted out "Dr. Candle! I apologize!" that name caught Locke's attention, he turned to Henry and said to him "Marvin Candle? The man From the Orientation film?" Henry smiled and said to Locke "Yes…Didn't Desmond tell you that he was here? In the Flame hatch?" Locke turned towards the blast doors, and in an instant, The lights turned florescent blue….revealing the map drawn by the one who brought Desmond….Henry smiled and said "Kelvin's map…."
