Kali grimaced as she picked up a book that was practically falling apart, the water having destroyed all the words. She had decided to help Claire with looking through what could be scavenged from the plane, as the pregnant woman was planning to do a memorial of sorts. Kali thought it was a nice idea, as otherwise burning the bodies in the fuselage was far too depressing. She also secretly hoped that she would find the few belongings that she had brought with her. Kali couldn't help but giggle when she came across a ridiculously high heeled stiletto.

"Who do you think brought that?" Claire laughed.

"Hmm, no idea. If I was back at home I'd think my flatmate" Kali stated, smiling at the memory.

"Are you close to her?" Claire inquired.

"Yeah, he's a good friend" Kali shrugged.

"Him?" Claire asked, her eyes widening.

"Yep. He's got much better legs than me. I used to get jealous" Kali admitted, with a laugh.

"I've never met anyone who does…that" Claire stuttered, not being able to find the right words.

"Oh no, you're not one of those people who-" Kali groaned, hoping she hadn't got the girl wrong.

"No! No, I would never judge someone for something like that" Claire promised.

"Well in honour of my friend…I think I better try this on" Kali grinned, as she took her shoe off.

"I guess the other one must have got lost in the crash" Claire suggested, as Kali placed the stiletto on.

"What do you think?" Kali questioned, raising her leg in the air, making Claire giggle.

"Damn, I might have to change your name to legs" A voice boomed from behind them.

Kali turned around to see Sawyer giving her legs a very appreciative look, as she had decided to wear shorts that day, needing a change from the jeans she had been wearing.

"Whatever floats your boat, dimples" Kali responded, getting a chuckle out of the older man.

"Did you find something?" Claire inquired, spotting the wallets in Sawyer's hand.

"These were um…I found these the other day when I was uh…aw, hell, just take it" Sawyer mumbled, as he passed them over.

"Thank you" Claire nodded at him.

"Are you sure you can bear to part with them?" Kali said, sarcastically.

"Money ain't no use here" Sawyer shrugged, as he walked away.

"You two seem to be getting on well" Claire pointed out.

"He's…interesting" Kali replied.

"And hot" Claire added, making Kali laugh.

"Won't your baby daddy be jealous hearing you speak like that?" Kali asked, raising an eyebrow.

"…The father and I…we're not…" Claire trailed off.

"Oh, well that's alright. I'm sure with you as a mum he'll be fine" She told her.

"He? Why do you say that?" Claire queried.

"Oh, I thought you told me…you don't know what the gender is?" Kali questioned, as Claire shook her head.

"It just sounded right" Kali mumbled, as Claire grinned, rubbing her stomach lightly.


"Hey! Um…can I ask you to do something?" Boone approached Kali later that day.

"Yeah, shoot" She replied.

"Um, I got a cut a few days ago and I've been trying to bandage it myself but…" Boone trailed off, pulling his trousers up to show the bandage that was barely holding up.

"Jack's probably-" Kali started, but he cut her off.

"Actually, I really don't want to go to Jack. So, I was hoping you could help me out. Please" Boone begged.

"Fair enough. Come on, we'll go behind some of the tents…I don't want to give Jack an inferiority complex" Kali laughed.

"So, how'd you get into nursing?" Boone inquired, once Kali had started to clean up his leg.

"I know it's cheesy, but I guess I just needed to help people" She admitted, as she began to re-dress his leg.

"Needed?" Boone asked, noticing she didn't say want.

"I have some things to make up for" She shrugged.

"I can't imagine that's true" Boone couldn't help but laugh, she seemed so innocent to him.

"I was the one who killed the US Marshall" Kali blurted out, feeling good to admit it.

"But I thought…I'm really sorry, Kali" Boone frowned.

"What for?" She queried, confused.

"You shouldn't feel guilty. Mercy killing doesn't make you a bad person" He insisted.

If only you knew the truth about me, you wouldn't be saying that, she thought to herself.


The memorial that night was sad, but Kali would have felt guilty if she wasn't there. The dead deserved to be remembered. After it was over she walked up to Claire, having begun to like the blonde.

"It a really nice memorial, Claire. I think we all needed that" Kali told her.

"I didn't need anymore guilt on my conscience" Claire responded.

"Amen to that" Kali sighed.

She noticed that Jack had been absent from the service and saw him sitting not far away looking into the waves. She hoped the Doctor was alright, she couldn't nurse everyone on the island on her own. They all needed him. She frowned as she realised maybe that was the problem.


The mystery of where her things were was answered early the next morning. She was able to spot her black bag in Sawyer's growing stash and approached him with angry steps.

"What the hell, Sawyer?" She growled, gesturing to her bag.

"Oh, how did that get there…" Sawyer trailed off, with a smirk.

Rolling her eyes, Kali grabbed her bag and began to rummage around it, finding that almost everything was accounted for. Almost. The things that meant the most to her had all been kept in a small purse, which was missing.

"Where is it?" She asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about-" Sawyer began, but she cut him off.

"I'm serious, Sawyer. Where is it?" She insisted.

"I'll give it back to you…but I have a few questions first" Sawyer told her.

"Fine" She grumbled.

"Why do you have a bullet in your purse?" Sawyer questioned, taking the object out of his shirt pocket.

She tried to grab it from him, but he was too fast, and his arms far too long for her to reach.

"Ah, ah. It's been used. Is it the bullet that shot you?" Sawyer suggested.

"No. I used it" She answered.

"You shot someone?" Sawyer inquired, surprised.

This through him off enough that she was able to grab the bullet from his hand and stared at it for a few seconds to make sure it wasn't damaged.

"This your mama and daddy?" Sawyer asked, holding up a picture of a family.

"Give. It. Back." Kali told him, an unusual venom in her voice.

"I'm guessing this older one is you, and that must be your little sister. But what I want to know who this is?" Sawyer questioned, pointing to the person in the picture whose face had been burnt out.

What Sawyer hadn't been expecting was for her to suddenly burst into tears. He thought for a second maybe it was just a ruse to get him to give the picture to her, but he had seen enough people fake cry to know that it was real.

"Shit, blue eyes. Don't cry. Look, here you go" Sawyer exclaimed, standing as he handed her the purse and the picture.

Kali used her free hand to cover her face, embarrassed at her emotional outburst. Sawyer grimaced as he placed his hands on her shoulders, not sure how to comfort her as it was his fault she was in the state she was.

"What the hell is going on?!" Jack shouted, as he seemed to have noticed the crying Kali.

"I didn't…it's not…" Sawyer stuttered, backing away.

Kali slipped the picture into the purse before anyone else could see it, as a crowd was beginning to form around them.

"What did you do to her?" Jack yelled, as Kate placed her arm over the younger girls' shoulders.

"It's fine. I'm fine" Kali shook her head, wiping away the last few tears from her face.

"You're not. Did he hurt you?" Kate asked, anger in her voice.

"No. I just…got upset. Just leave it" Kali told them, shrugging off Kate's arm.

"Hey, you can talk to us-" Boone started, but she cut him off.

"No! Just leave me alone" She exclaimed, as she began to rush away.

"Kali, wait!" Sawyer called after her, using her actual name for once, but she was already too far to catch up.


Author's Notes: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! It's a bit of a filler but it helps to build on some of Kali's relationships which I think is important. Please leave a review:)
