Chapter X
Sayid Jarrah,Hugo Reyes,and Alexandra Rousseau stood in bewilderment at the man on the ground infront of them.Marvin Candle was bound and gagged in one of the utility closets of the Flame station.The asian man looked to be in his mid to late fifties and had somewhat spiked,grey,hair. Sayid quickly grabbed his knife from his back pocked and cut the bindings off the Dharma Scientist's wrists. Sayid then pulled the gag on Candle's mouth off and asked the man slowly"Who did this to you?" Marvin Candle rose and straightened his pristine lab coad,he pointed his twitching finger to Desmond and stuttere"You...get that maniac away from me!"He stood behind Alex and Hurley. Sayid walked up to Desmond and said sternly"What did you do to this man?"Desmond wiped sweat from his forehead and said"..He..he's lying!Don't believe a word he says,brotha!"Candle looked around Hurley's shoulder and said "You killed him...didn't you?"He smiled slightly.Desmond's eyes grew wide and he yelled "It was an accident!He was going to leave and keep me here to press that damn button!"Candle stepped twoards him,his polished lab shoes clicked on the shining silver floor of the Dharma Initiative station known as the Flame"Kelvin Inman told you too much,he was a drunken fool who knew far more than he should have."Desmond looked around frantically and said quietly"Why..It's all just a joke..."Candle adjusted his shirt cuffs and turned to Desmond,saying slowly"It's all real,Desmond..if you don't press the button,you'll kill us all.Radzinsky found that out the hard way.."He laughed slightly,Hurley stuttered to Candle"Who's Radzinsky?"Candle raised his finger and said "Ah..that' the real mystery..eh,Mr.Reyes?Curious,the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 have found more on this Island in 60 days than the Initiative has found in over thirty years.Stetski Radzinsky was Kelvin Inman's partner,until he failed to press the button,Radzinsky was all alone when it happened..the electromagnetic fluctuation overloadblew his head clear off his neck."All four of the others stared at the man,who walked around the living center of the Flame.
Jack Shepard and John Locke turned twoards the sound of the countdown timer,Locke turned to go to the computer when Jack stopped him and said quickly"We've got to find him..."Locke stopped and pointed to the computer terminal in the other room,saying frantically"What we have to do is press that button,Jack.."Jack yelled to Locke as he started twoards the computer"He killed one of us!"Locke looked at the computer screen and then to Jack,saying loudly"It was a sacrifice the Island demanded.."Jack shook his head and said quietly"A sacrifice,John?Like Boone?"Locke was about to imput the code when he looked up at Jack,and said slowly to Jack"..yes.."He started to press the four button on the keyboard,putting most of his weight on the crutches that held him upright.Jack ran into the computer room and in an flash grabbed one of Locke's crutches,sending John Locke onto the floor.Jack turned twoards the computer,it's light green prompter blinking on the screen,the timer was beeping faster now..it had reached the four minutes left mark.
Desmond ran twoards Marvin Candle,his face etched with rage.He pinned the helpless doctor against the silver steel wall on the Flame hatch.Desmond grabbed the doctor's pristine white lab coat and lifted him up onto the wall."I suggest you stop all the lies Doc.."Candle looked at Desmond and smiled slightly,saying slowly"I have no lies..but I think that they have something to say about this.."Another voice was heard"Your exactly right,Doctor.."Sayid,Hurley,and Alex turned around to see Zeke,a stream of blood dried on his head,and ten of the "Others"all with guns..Hurley turned to Sayid and said "This is not good,dude..."Zeke and ten more of the Others were all in ragged clothes and they all carried guns.A man came out from behind Zeke and said to him"It's Alex..She helped them get here.."Zeke turned to the other man,he looked at him and said "Pickett,calm down...He will deal with her..."Pickett laughed slightly and said "This is your last mistake,Alex..."He looked at Alexandra angrily,who said defiantly to Pickett"You damn fool!You can't comprehend what's going on here!"Pickett started twoards her,but Zeke outstreached his hand and stopped him,he said to Pickett"Watch yourself,He would be steamed if you took her out..."Pickett nodded and turned around..Zeke smiled slightly and said "If you would follow us.."Alex,Sayid,and Hurley all walked slowly with the others..Dr.Candle looked at Zeke and said quietly"Good work..."
