Disclaimer: I don't own LOST for the thousandth time.
A/N: This continues right where we left off. I gotta warn you that there is some jate in here. I decided to stick it in this chapter and hopefully you will like it.
"I am Charlie. I'm going to kill him." She put her shovel down and started walking towards the hatch.
"Ana wait! Charlie ran after her and grabbed her arms to stop her.
"You gotta think about this. Do you really want to?"
"Yeah I do." Ana said and she continued walking.
"No you don't." Charlie said walking after her.
Ana began walking faster.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the hatch to find Sawyer." Ana said.
They reached the hatch soon after that. The whole way there Charlie had been trying to convince Ana not to but she hadn't listened to him.
Ana opened the hatch door with such fierceness that it banged across and Charlie almost didn't get in.
Ana walked into the living room where Kate, Michael, Locke, and Jack were sitting. Locke and Michael were sitting on the couch and Jack and Kate were standing and leaning against the wall next to the armory. They all looked up at her.
"Where's Sawyer?" Ana demanded.
"You just missed him." Kate said.
"Where did he go?"
Charlie walked up behind Ana. "She doesn't mean it!" He said.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Charlie doesn't know what he's saying. Ignore him." Ana said quickly and she glared at Charlie.
"So you didn't say anything?" Charlie asked.
"No." Ana turned back to the others. "Do you know where he went?"
"He didn't say. Maybe you should try the beach." Jack suggested.
"Yeah.. ok." Ana muttered and turned around to walk back to the beach with Charlie following right behind her.
"What do you think is going on there?" Michael asked.
Jack shook his head." I don't know. But it's not important. We need to start figuring out a plan to go get Walt. He's been with the Others way too long."
"Jack's right." Locke said from his spot on the couch. He had his leg propped up on the coffee table." You all should go. I can stay here along with Ana or Sayid and watch over Henry."
"What if we need Henry?" Jack asked.
"You won't need Henry." Locke looked at him strangely.
"Yeah we will. We have to do a trade." Jack said.
"Jack we tried that remember? It didn't work. They weren't there." Kate said, exasperated.
"Yeah well.." Jack trailed off.
"Yeah we need Henry." Michael nodded. "We should definitely bring him with us. And Sawyer should go."
Jack and Kate looked up.
"Why?" Jack asked.
"Because." Michael paused. "He will want to. He wants revenge on the bearded guy anyways."
"Yeah you're right." Kate said.
"You should talk to him then Kate." Jack told her.
"Why me?" Kate asked.
"Because you are his weakness."
"No I'm not!" Kate insisted. "Sawyer has no weaknesses. And besides, I will not be used like that."
"You won't be used. You'll just talk to him Kate. How hard can that be? That's all you've done in the past two weeks anyways!" Jack lashed out at her.
Kate just blinked. She knew exactly what was happening here, whereas Michael and Locke were sitting there looking confused.
"I was only talking to him because you were giving me the silent treatment!" Kate said.
" The 'silent treatment'? I was only giving you the 'silent treatment' because you kissed me and ran away! Oh and not to mention you nearly got yourself killed when I specifically told you not to come!" Jack raised his voice.
"OKAY! Enough. Jeez get a room you two." Michael said.
Kate realized that they had gotten really close together while they had had their little argument. Kate blushed and stepped back.
"What I was getting to was, that Hurley should come as well." Michael said cautiously, knowing what the reaction would be.
"WHAT?" Jack, Locke, and Kate all exclaimed. "Why!" Jack asked.
"You know Hurley. He helped you guys when you were blowing up the hatch door. Now I'm sure he'd like to come with us."
"Michael we're talking about Hurley here. We're talking about walking across the island and going who knows where. I mean we all have the possibility here of dieing if we go. He will not want to come." Jack walked over to Michael's side of the couch.
Michael just decided to drop that subject because it was obviously not going to work at that moment.
"Ok look I say we don't talk about this until tomorrow. Kate and I still haven't gotten to rest from going out to do the trade and you probably need to rest too Michael." Jack said.
Michael nodded.
"Okay." Jack said and he walked out of the room to check on the button.
Kate decided it was finally time for herself and Jack to have a talk, so she walked into the computer room to speak to him.
'What have you gotten yourself into Charlie?' Charlie asked himself as he raced after Ana to the beach.
When they got there Ana kept asking people if they had seen Sawyer and all of them had said he had been with her. In between Charlie was begging Ana to not do it. Finally Ana got fed up with him and grabbed him by the shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
"Charlie. I have appreciated your companionship the last couple of days, but I'm fine now ok? I have to do this don't you understand? I have to. That's who I am. Remember when I told you about Jason and how I was pregnant? It's kind of like that. You've been a great friend but now I need you to stay here."
"But-" Charlie interrupted.
"Claire needs you."
Charlie's eyes brightened for a split second at the mention of Claire.
"I have seen the way you look at her. The way you look for her. You love her. I know you were hanging around me to make her jealous and I'm ok with that. I know we had fun together and I won't forget it but you need to leave me alone." Ana said.
"But.. We will talk again like we have been right?" Charlie asked. He did really like Ana as a friend and was concerned for her safety. He was so relieved that Ana wasn't upset, although her plan of trying to kill someone at the moment might have something to do with that.
"I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. I may go with Jack and everyone to get Walt. If I do I will come tell you. But right now I need to do this." Ana said.
"Okay." Charlie said to her. He knew how she felt. He remembered it with Ethan. He remembered how good it had felt when he finally knew that Claire was safe.
"If you need to talk, you'll know where to find me." Charlie said and then, without thinking, he gave Ana a hug. At first Ana was surprised, but then she accepted it and hugged back. When Charlie pulled back, he was surprised to see that Ana was teary-eyed.
"Thanks Charlie, for everything." Ana said and then she walked off to find someone to tell her where Sawyer was.
Charlie watched her walk off and couldn't help but feel a little sad that the cat was finally out of the bag. Suddenly he heard someone.
"Charlie?"
Charlie turned around to find Claire staring at him.
A/N: Ahhh so some of the parts are finally coming into place. Don't worry I've got at least a couple more chapters planned! I would really appreciate feedback on this chapter so please review!
