Dr.Marvin Candle looked at the Others and said to them"It is time..Dr.Mittlewerk has given me exact orders for the takeover,Hanso is ours to deal with now..Understood?"The Others nodded their heads in unison and proceeded to take Alex,Hurley,and Sayid out of the Hatch..Candle turned to Desmond and said "You are free to return to the Swan if you wish,Mr.Hume..Namaste.."The Doctor bowed and walked with Zeke to the other exit of the Flame.."Tom..I don't want this thing to drag on longer than it should.."Tom looked at Candle and said "What about Hanso...Mittlewerk just expects us to take care of him..It's not that simple!"Dr.Candle pointed to Tom and said "Do you want to be held responsible if he gets to them?"Tom shook his head and said "What should we do now?"Candle and Tom walked out into the jungle,Candle turned to Tom and said "They're comming home with us.."Tom smiled slightly and walked with Candle,the rest of the Others,and the prisoners..

John Locke woke up suddently from his concussion to the sound of the Countdown timer..He could hear it get faster and louder,He yelled to Jack in a disoriented voice"Jack!Press the button!It's fate!"Jack looked down at Locke and said slowly"There's no such thing as fate.."Locke looked over and saw his metal crutch next to him on the floor of the Swan and grabbed at it,until his third try did he get it into his hand..He took the crutch and slammedit into Jack's leg,Jack fell quickly and his head hit the floor hard.Locke took the crutch and stood as best he could,He fell down into the chair and looked up at the countdown timer,He quickly pressed the numbers in..4,8,15,16,23,42..He saw the timer reach ten seconds and in an instant pressed down onto the execute button.The timer flipped back to 108 and Locke looked down at Jack..saying quietly"It's all fate,Jack..."

The shore of the Island was a beautiful sight indeed..but it was ruined by a landing pad on the small peninsula which stuck out about two miles into the dark blue sea.The landing pad had a Dharma Initiative symbol on it..The Others strolled in onto the small peninsula,with Hurley and Sayid captive..Alex wasn't doing any better,Two men stood on either side of her..guns in each of their hands.Tom and Marvin Candle were at the front of the group and stood away from the landing pad..waiting for something it seemed..Candle looked over to a small terminal,a man seated at it..Candle flicked his hand upwards and the man nodded,flipping some switches and levers..After he flipped the switches,The sky turned violet and a small object was seen in the sky..it's main rotor spinned around with incredible speed..The helicopter moved slowly twoards the landing pad..The symbol of the Dharma Initiative was seen on the Bell 407 helicopter..The Dharma Initiative helicopter started it's landing process and started to slowly decend onto the Dharma landing pad..Hurley looked over to Sayid and said "Rescue?"Sayid turned his head to him and said "More likely their leader.."Candle looked over to Tom and nodded as the helicopter's door opened and a man strode out of it..his dark black suit was pressed and his shoes shined..His white-gray hair flowed around as the helicopter's rotor stopped slowly..The man walked over to Candle and placed his hands together,Candle did the same and they both bowed to eachother,saying in unison"Namaste."Candle and the man walked alone..silent,until Candle spoke to him"It is an honor to see you here again,Dr.Hanso.."The man spoke in a danish accent,saying to Candle"Enough with the sucking up,Candle..let's take care of this.."Candle nodded and they walked over to where the Others were..
