Chapter 9: Oh crap…

Disclaimer: I don't own LOST.

A/N: Ok this may seem a bit confusing, but I am skipping some stuff. The stuff with Sawyer and Ana happened, Ana got Sawyer's gun. She already tried to kill Gale (Or Ben. rolls eyes whatever) She is now sitting with Michael. Jack, Kate, and Locke went to go find Sawyer to get the guns. I hope you guys like my version of the ending.

"I'll do it. Give me the gun. I'll kill him. Because that's what they do."

Ana looked up at Michael. She knew that she probably shouldn't just give Michael a gun with his current state, but she wanted Gale dead. So she handed him the gun.

"What's the combination?"

Ana sighed and then told him. Michael looked at the gun and looked back up at Ana. "I think you should leave."

"What?" Ana asked.

"Just go Ana. You don't need to see this."

Ana didn't feel like protesting and she was worn out, so she decided to leave and head to the beach. Ana stood up and headed for the door. "Are you sure?"

Michael nodded. "I'm sure."

Michael watched her leave and then he opened the door. Henry stood up and looked at Michael.

Michael rushed him and slammed him against the wall with the gun against his neck. "Look I don't know who the hell you people are, but you had better keep your word. I want that boat, and I want my son. I'm going to fulfill my promise, and if you don't keep up your end of the bargain, you will be sorry."

Henry gave Michael a cynical smile.

"Don't worry Michael. You let me go right now, I promise you that you will get your son back." Henry said.

Michael started shaking as he looked at Henry. "I'm going to let you go. If you come near our camp again, you will regret it."

"I'm sure I would. "

Michael let go of Henry and pointed him to the way out. He walked behind him to make sure he left the right way. When Henry reached the edge of the clearing he turned around and smiled at Michael." Thank you Michael. I will see you in a couple of days with your friends. If you don't bring all four, then I'm afraid you'll be the one to regret it." Then Henry turned and walked away.

Michael breathed in deeply and walked back to the hatch. He stood by the armory door, preparing himself for what he was about to do. He held the gun to his shoulder and kept thinking of his son as he pulled the trigger.

…………………………..

"Isn't it great about Charlie and Claire?" Libby said to Hurley as they reached the beach.

"Yep. Well here we are!"

"Hurley, this is our beach. There's Jin." Libby tried hard not to smile. "Look let's just have the picnic here. Give me the blankets."

"Blankets?" Hurley said.

"You forgot the blankets? Ok I'll get the blankets. You get the wine from Rose and Bernard."

"Wine?" Hurley grinned.

Libby smiled and walked towards the hatch. Hurley was such a great guy. She was so happy she had finally caught his attention. But she just had to make sure that he never remembered where she was from.

Libby opened the hatch door and walked to the laundry room. She grabbed the blankets and walked into the living room, but stopped in her tracks when she saw Michael all bloody and passed out on the couch. "Michael!

She dropped the blankets and checked him out and looked up and noticed the armory was empty. "Michael?" She shook him but he wouldn't wake up. "I've gotta get Jack."

She knew she couldn't leave Michael though so all she could do was wait.

……………

Ana walked along the shoreline and tried to breathe and calm down but she couldn't. She glanced around the beach searching for Charlie but she couldn't find him. But she did see Claire sitting with Aaron.

"Hey Claire." Ana approached her, slightly nervous because she hadn't ever talked to her before.

"Hi Ana." She smiled at her. "Do you want to sit?"

"Sure." Ana said, surprised. She sat down beside her on the bed and Claire offered the baby to Ana but she declined. "You have a beautiful baby though." She said sadly.

"Thank you." Claire said, wondering about her strange behavior.

"Did Charlie talk to you?" Ana asked,

"Yes he did."

"So you two are ok?"

"Yes. We worked everything out."

"I'm glad. Charlie was really missing you." Ana said.

Claire smiled guiltily. "Yeah. It was my fault."

"Do you know where he is?" Ana asked.

"I believe he's with Eko, building the church."

"Thanks." Ana stood up.

"Oh where are you going?" Claire asked.

"I just need to talk to him. That's all."

"Oh. Ok." Claire said, secretly jealous of the obvious bond Charlie and Ana had formed.

"I'll see you later ok?" Ana then left.

She walked a little faster as she made her way across the beach. She groaned because she realized in order to get to the church she was going to have to pass by Sawyer's tent and if he hadn't discovered she had stolen his gun then he was going to be all over her and if he had discovered she had stolen his gun she knew he was going to be mad and she wasn't in the mood for him.

But as she got closer to Sawyer's tent, she saw Kate, Jack, and Locke outside of it and it looked like they were having a heated discussion.

"She stole my damn gun. Ana Lucia." She overheard Sawyer say and she groaned even more.

"Why would she steal your gun?" Jack asked.

"Jack. I need to tell you something." Locke said. But before he could continue Ana appeared behind Jack and Sawyer immediately picked up on her.

"Was that your plan princess? To steal my gun? Well let me tell you,-"

"Sawyer shut it." Kate said.

"What the hell is going on here?" Jack practically yelled.

"Yes. I did steal Sawyer's gun." Ana said.

"Why would you steal Sawyer's gun?" Kate asked.

"Yeah I'd like to know that too." Sawyer said.

"I think I know why." Locke said.

"You have no idea John." Ana said. She then looked at Sawyer. "I wanted to have some fun." She grinned. She had to play this out as long as possible because she didn't want them to walk in on Michael shooting Gale.

"We all know Sawyer wouldn't let anyone near his gun. How did you get it?" Kate said, now a little jealous.

Sawyer just glared at Ana.

" I think Sawyer's found his match." Jack said triumphantly.

"How did you get it Ana?" Kate repeated.

"It was easy." Ana said.

"I don't think we should be asking how she got it, we should be asking why." Locke said.

Ana sighed. This was getting old.

"Where is the gun? Do you have it with you?" Jack said.

"No. I don't have it with me."

"Why not?" Jack asked impatiently.

"I gave it to Michael."

"What!" Jack exploded. "I don't think Michael is in a state to have a gun in his hand."

"That's exactly why I gave it to him. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got better things to do." And with that Ana left them and headed to the church.

The four exchanged glances.

'I think we should head to the hatch." Locke said calmly.

"Yeah I would think." Sawyer said sarcastically.

Jack, Sawyer and Locke quickly headed to the hatch and Kate walked over to Ana.

"Hey Ana."

"What?"

"I'm curious. How did you get the gun?"

"It was simple. You just give Sawyer what he wants." Ana smiled mischievously at Kate.

Kate's jaw dropped. "Wait, you made out with him?"

"Oh I did more than that Kate." Ana said and then she walked away, leaving Kate to stand there.

Kat turned and started walking fast to catch up to Jack, Sawyer, and Locke, smiling and shaking her head. So someone finally figured out how to get to Sawyer, and for some reason she was fine with it.

"Jack wait up!" She called as she ran right into them.

She slowed her pace when she reached them.

"Hey, what were you doing?" Jack asked.

"Ana told me how she got the gun"

"Oh yeah? How?"

Kate shook her head." You wouldn't believe me."

"They made out didn't they?"

"You could say that." Kate glanced at Jack and he gave a small laugh. "Incredible."

Sawyer sped up to match Jack and Kate's speed and Locke was lagging behind Sawyer.

"So what do you think Michael did?" Sawyer asked.

"I don't know." Jack said, "But we'll know soon enough."

………………..

"Hey Charlie." Ana said as she reached the church.

"Ana." Charlie dropped the log he had been holding and walked over to her.

"Hi Ana." Eko smiled and waved at her.

Ana smiled at him.

"Are you ok? How did everything work out?" Charlie asked.

"Can we talk?" Ana asked.

"Sure. Eko, can I take a break?"

"Of course Charlie."

……………….

As they got closer to the hatch Jack heard someone calling for help.

"It sounds like Libby." Kate and Jack exchanged a look and then they started running for the hatch door.

"Jack."

"What happened?"

"It's Michael. He got shot in the arm. He's passed out on the couch. I can't get him to wake up."

Jack rushed to the couch and started barking out orders. "Kate get the towels. Sawyer boil some water. Libby get the peroxide."

Everyone rushed to get the items and then Jack asked Sawyer to sterilize some equipment so he could remove the bullet.

Soon Michael was patched up and sleeping peacefully on the bed.

"I don't know what happened. I walked in here to get some blankets and then I saw him." Libby said.

Libby and Sawyer were standing by the armory and Jack and Kate were on the couch and Jack was exhausted. Kate had her hand on Jack's leg as she leaned against him. Locke sat in the chair as they tried to figure out what had happened.

"I guess we will have to just wait for Michael to wake up." Kate said.

"I wonder what happened with Henry.' Locke said thoughtfully.

"Well I'm thinking he shot Michael in the arm John." Jack said in a annoyed tone.

"Hurley will be looking for me so I am going to leave now. " Libby gathered the blankets from the ground and left.

"So what do we do now?" Kate asked.

"Well, as soon as Michael is ok, we're going to go out there and get his son."Jack looked at Sawyer. "You will need to give us some guns Sawyer."

Sawyer nodded. "Yeah I know."

………………………

"So you gave Michael the gun?" Charlie asked Ana.

"Yeah. He's supposed to have shot Gale. I just don't know what's going to happen,." Ana sighed. "I just can't believe I couldn't do it. I mean, I was a cop Charlie! If I can't kill the bad guys, then I am completely useless. I mean that was the one thing I could count on. Now I have nothing." Ana was close to tears again and Charlie put a arm around her.

"You have things Ana. You have me for one." Charlie smiled. "You're a caring person, and if you let people get to know you like you've let me, you'll have a lot of friends. And maybe you and Sawyer can get together."

Ana grinned. "Sawyer is definitely my type."

"See? Things will get better."

"Thanks Charlie.." Ana said.

"Hey guys, have you seen Libby?" Hurley walked by and asked them.

Charlie removed his arm from around Ana's shoulders."Uh no I haven't."

"Well she was getting blankets at the hatch and now I can't find her."

Charlie stood up helped Ana get up as well "Let me help you find her." Charlie said to Hurley. "I'll talk to you later Ana." Charlie told her.

"So how are you and Claire?" Hurley smiled knowingly at Charlie.

"Yes Hurley. Your plan worked. " Charlie said.

"See? I told you. You just have to make sure that you don't let her walk all over you again."

"She won't. But really Hurley, thanks for helping me through this."

"Hey don't mention it. That's what friends are for. I think things are finally getting back to normal around here."

"Hurley!" Libby ran up to him. She was breathless.

"Libby. I was looking for you."

"Something happened in the hatch."

"Oh crap."

A/N: The End. I wanted to end it with Charlie and Hurley since it basically started with Charlie and Hurley. I know there wasn't a lot of jate in that and I'm sorry but I assure you there will be jate in the other fics I am working on. I hope you liked this! I loved writing it.
