A/N: Alright gang here we go again! This time the time is post finale, I really want to explore and get deeper into, maybe even the origin of the Others. But its still Jate of course! Haha, well you'll see where i'm going with this once I stop babbling!

"Yeah come say that to my face buddy!" The dimpled Southerner was thrown into yet another dark room, and as far as one could hear, he said those words through his gagged mouth. He fell to the floor as the cellar door slammed shut. He winced in pain as he slowly tore out his hand out of the tight restraining bonds. After both were free he quickly took the cloth out of his mouth and untied the ropes around his legs. Finally being free of everything holding him down, he reached out and felt around the darkness searching for a wall. The light beneath the door grew dark as a shadow lingered on the opposite side. Sawyer stayed quiet hoping whoever it was would pass. Just then the door opened and a greasy, dirty, tattered clothed man threw in a woman, and she landed right at Sawyer's feet. The door closed again as the woman drew a hard breath from behind the gag. As Sawyer bent down to help her up, he then noticed the identity of his new roommate. The young woman was Kate. Quickly, he took of the ropes that tied her as she backed away from him at once.

"Kate, hey its me Sawyer." he said reassuringly.

She immediately relaxed and threw her arms around him "Sawyer! Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, they just knocked me around for a bit and threw me in here. I don't even know where we are." Sawyer answered looking around the still dark room.

She didn't say anything for moment as her mind tried to wrap around the whole ordeal "Where's Jack?"


"Sit." Zeke gestured to the Doctor, he was more thrown down then actually sitting by his own will. The room was lit by a florescent lights, with long and cold cement walls. Their were 3 of the Others standing behind and holding our hero down as Zeke took off the bag that was hastily thrown over his head. He gazed around, tired from the beatings and the long walk that it took to get to where he was now. His eyes traveled around the room and down at the needle that was set in front of him as he met his captor's glare.

"What do you want from us?" he asked still tried but strong and full of determinability.

"Its really quite simple. I just need you to answer a couple of questions truthfully and to the best of your knowledge. But I must warn you Jack if you don't do what we say you will get hurt and I really don't want that to happen. As i'm sure you don't either. Now, shall we begin?" Zeke said smiling.

Jack sighed.

"I'll take that as a yes." Zeke grabbed a folder to the left of him as he flipped through his notes "A couple of days after you landed here, you began to feel somewhat annoyed didn't you? Everyone asking what they should do with the water, what they should do with the dead bodies, what they should do with that non speaking woman who stared off into the ocean all day. It must have been frustrating. After all, they do look up to you as a leader don't they? You never asked to be but they did it anyway. Then, you saw someone in the trees didn't you? Someone you've seen before?" the captor asked.

After Jack didn't answer, Zeke gave a look to the man standing behind Jack. Suddenly Jack pushed forward as the man sent a painful shock threw the Doctor's body. He let out a groan as the pain continued to seize through him then finally stopped.

"I didn't want to hurt you Jack. Just answer my question."

"YES. I saw a man in the tree's." Jack answered breathing hard.

"And who did you see?" Zeke asked firmly.

"I saw...my dead father." he admitted.

"Good. And you continued seeing him through the day and even into the night. Did he say anything to you?" Zeke asked again.

"No." Jack answered.

"What happened after you found the caves and the fresh water? What did you find there?" the strange man pushed.

Jack didn't answer again. He didn't want to tell him what he found, or what he did after. He couldn't tell him or the whole reality of it all would hit him like a fright train.

"Jack tell me what you found." Zeke asked again angrily.

All our hero did was shake his head.

Zeke got up quickly, grabbed the needle off the tray, filled the needle up with red liquid and shot the toxin in his veins.

Incredible amount of pain pulsed through him, his eye lids grew heavy as he quickly passed out onto floor.


The lights flickered on finally filling the dark room. "Its about time." Sawyer replied. The room the two were in seemed to be somewhat of a containment room. Bars covered up the tiny window as nothing but a couple of chairs cluttered up the empty room. Everything, to the ceiling to the floor was white. "How are we going to get out of here?" Kate replied feeling the urge to run from this prison cell almost to much to handle.

It seemed like hours that the two were trapped in the "crazy house" room. Sawyer seemed to be in some sort of a staring match with the ceiling as the door opened again.

"Here. Its all I could bring you i'll try to be by later and bring you some water." Alex appeared and as quick as a flash gone. But left on the ground near the door a plate full of bread and 2 bottles of water. Sawyer and Kate ate it fast and were gratefully for the strength that was restored.


"Wakie wakie Doctor Shepherd." a female voice spoke to him as Jack awoke fast from his sleep. His eyes adjusted as the woman came into focus.

"Who are you?" he asked shakily still trying to get his bearings..

"I'm Juliet."
