Chapter 11: The numbered journey
Danielle had armed the group with shot guns when they were still at her under ground house. Kate stayed behind to take care of Sawyer. So Shannon decided to tag along, so did Michael and Jin. They were prepared for a shoot out.
"So Dude, how far away is this camp?" asked Hurley who was already panting.
"If your worried about being eaten by the monster, you can calm down," Locke said. He was now also near the front of the group. "The monster can survive if we all have gun, shot guns." he reassured Hurley.
"I'm worried about getting shot by the others because I can't dodge the bullet," Hurley complained. "Mace it, if they aim at my belly and I jump out of the way the bullet is sure to at least get me somewhere!"
The group continued to travel at a rather rapid pace, with Hurley taking up the rear. "Guys wait up!" Hurley would yell.
"Your slowing us down Hurley!" Jin yelled in Korean language. The only thing the rest of the group picked out was Hurley.
"Are you making jokes about how fat and slow I am?" Hurley called from the back of the group.
"Yes," said Jin, which was one of the only few few words he could speak in English. This sped up Hurley's pace a lot.
"Why do you want to hurt people's feelings like that man?" Hurley was almost in tears.
"Sped, pace," Jin struggled for the words. Everyone laughed except for Danielle and Charlie.
"Can we please focus on our bloody mission to get Claire back!" Charlie was annoyed.
It took them all day to walk from their camp to what they thought was the middle of the island. "At this slow rate we won't find the camp 'till morning," Jack said.
"They could kill her by then!" Danielle yelled. "We have to keep going!" She kept walking in the direction that they believed was where the other's camp was.
"We can't let her go alone," Michael said. He, Sayid and Hurley set off after Danielle.
"Hey, if I have a chance to get a head start, I'm taking it," Hurley said before he followed Sayid and Michael.
"They might get hurt, we should all keep going," Shannon suggested.
"That's surprising coming from you," Charlie ran after the others.
"Okay then, let's just keep going," Jack was leading the group for two miles when they came across a stone structure. There they met up with the other five.
"Jack, it's the caves," Charlie said. "We're at the top of the caves." Jack peered over the side. He saw the people that were on the plane with him.
"We went in a huge circle!" Jack was discouraged. "We may never find their camp!"
"We can't find it unless we go where Shannon was," Danielle exclaimed, she was just being her odd self though. "We all must slip into comas to find the others."
"Maybe not," Locke said. "BOONE!" he yelled. His assistant came up to the top of the caves where the small group was.
"Yeah?" Boone looked at Shannon, then glared at Sayid.
"We need to show them," Locke looked at his assistant seriously.
"Show us what?" Jack looked from Boone to Locke continually. Locke headed off into the jungle with Boone at his side. The group followed them, with Hurley still trailing behind. Locke and Boone lead the group to a hatch leading to the ground they had found weeks before.
"We've been coming here rather than boar hunting," Locke said.
"I knew there was something going on!" said Shannon.
"We don't know what's inside or if it leads anywhere, we've just come to watch it," Boone sat down on a log.
"We've got to find out what's inside," Charlie knelt down and brushed the side of the hatch. "What is that?" Engraved on the side of the hatch were numbers.
Hurley finally got to the clearing. Danielle had a scared look on her face and she was staring at Hurley.
"What?" Hurley asked her shrugging his shoulders. Danielle pointed to the hatch. Hurley made his way to the hatch. "Oh my god!" Hurley fainted, so did Danielle.
