Chapter 2: What is this place?

Jack woke up in a strange room. He was lying on a bed. He rose to a sitting position looking around the room. There was a dresser, bookshelf, and chairs. Where am I? The last things he remembered was Henry, or whatever his name was, let Michael go after the violet light appeared. Then Hurley was let go. He, Kate, and Sawyer were bagged.

Kate? What did they do to you? Her green eyes. That was the last thing he saw. He had to find her. He silently promised her on that dock that he would take care of her and not let them hurt her. Jack cared for her too much to let them hurt her.

He walked over to the door, but it wouldn't budge. It seemed to only open from the outside. I should have known. Jack then went to inspect the dresser. There were clothes in it. Mostly his size. He grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and went into the adjoining bathroom to change. It felt nice not to have to wear the same sets of clothes since the crash.

Jack then walked over to the bookshelf. He saw some books that were his favorites, medical books, and pictures. He was shocked. There were three framed pictures. One of his father Christian and himself at the hospital in their matching white coats, one of his mother Margo, and one of Kate. Jack held up Kate's picture. It looked like she was younger, but maybe only 4 or 5 years ago. Kate was smiling and on a tire swing in a farm field.

"I see your getting aquainted with your new surroundings." A blonde woman in a white doctor's coat smiled at him.

Jack didn't hear anyone come in, but the door was open and this blonde woman and the man he now knew as Tom where in there. He put Kate's picture down and started towards them.

"Where's Kate?" He said bitterly.

"Calm down. You'll see her soon. But first, we need a sample. Tom, I need your help." The woman stated.

Tom moved towards Jack and grabbed his hands from behind. Jack tried to fight him, but couldn't. He winced as the woman stuck a needle in his arm and pulled out blood. She capped it and marked it with an S. She put it on a tray Bea brought in with 6 others containing the letters A, F, 2 LI, D, and LY. Tom let him go and walked the tray out with Bea. Jack and the woman were alone.

"Who are you?" He asked. "And I need to see Kate!"

"I'm Juliet." The woman smiled again. "Just answer a few questions and you can see Kathrine."

Jack just started at her coldly.

"Trust me Jack. I won't hurt you." She picked up her chart and got a pen. "You're 34 years of age from Los Angeles, California. Correct?"

He just stared at her stunned. He wasn't going to answer, but he said, "Yes."

She marked something down on the chart. "Your mother's name is Margo and you father is Christian Shephard?"

"How do you know all of this?" He asked shocked.

"I take that as a yes." She smiled. "Any siblings?"

"No." He answered.

"OK." She closed the clipboard. Tom and returned. "You can see Kathrine now."

He was shocked at what she said. Tom grabbed him and Juliet led the way.


After being led in a hallway that had a Dharma logo with a flame, Jack was put into another room.

"You have 2 hours." Juliet said as she shut the door.

Jack turned around and looked at this new room. It was similar to his own, but more suited for Kate. There was a painting of horses, books, and Patsy Cline records. There were also pictures on her bookshelf.

A door opened from the side and Kate stepped back into the room. She was in her attached bathroom and changed clothes too. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Jack?"

He smiled grateful she was up and walking. "Oh thank God. Kate!"

She ran towards him, similar to the cave in, and they wrapped their arms around each other. She moved back a little to see his face, and tears formed in her eyes.

Jack cupped her face with his hands. "You're OK?"

"Yes." She smiled more. "Just blood taken."

"Me too." He stroked her hair behind her ears. "I was so worried about you." Jack didn't care about what he did next, but he had wanted to for awhile.

He leaned in and his lips met Kate's. The kiss started slow, but soon deepened. He pulled her even closer as her arms went around his neck. They deepened it even more with their tongues now dancing together. So much passion and desire was in this kiss and it was so different from there first.

When they finally parted they smiled. For the moment, they forgot they were captured.

"You didn't run." Jack teased.

Kate looked straight into his brown eyes. "I won't run from the man I love anymore."

Jack kissed her again. "I love you too."
