Sawyer sat outside his tent that morning getting rather worried, Kate had left to get some water for the both of them nearly an hour ago – well he guessed an hour of course they didn't really have ways to tell time since peoples watch batteries stopped, not that it mattered here anyway.

He stood up and decided to start looking for her. Walking across the beach he spotted Sun and thought that was a good place to start as she was a good friend to Kate.

"Hey Sunshine" He said smirking as he strolled towards her.

"Hello Sawyer" She said with a warm smile in her thick accent.

"Have ya seen Kate by any chance?" He asked.

"No I'm sorry" She replied, she saw Sawyers smirk drop as soon as she replied, his smirk was a replaced with a look of worry, a sort of worry that could only come from love, she smiled at how the southerner who seemed so hard on the outside actually had a softer inside, the inside that escaped so easily when it came to Kate. "I'm sure she's fine Sawyer"

"I know" He said, quickly covering the vulnerable look that Sun had seen on his face "See ya Tokyo Rose"

"Bye Sawyer" She said, smiling again at how he tried to hide his softer side as soon as she had seen it.

Next Sawyer decided to try the hatch. He started into the jungle on the well-worn path that led to the hatch. He stumbled into someone on the path and looked up hoping it would be Kate.

"Watch where your going Tex" A gruff voice greeted him.

Great, Sawyer thought, just great.

"Well if it aint Muchacha" He smirked grimly.

"Its Ana" She said not expecting him to take any notice anyway.

"Well some of us have people to see Ana" He said lacing her name with sarcasm as he walked past her.

"Or people to find" She muttered smirking evilly.

"What?" He said whipping around.

"Oh nothing" She said, her tone clearly indicating that she did.

Sawyer stood for a moment. He could either walk away and continue looking for Kate himself, which would no doubt take much longer, or he could swallow his pride and ask Ana what she knew… she probably wouldn't tell him anyway, she had never done anything to help him so why would she start now?

Taking a deep breath he stepped forward, it wasn't like he wouldn't find Kate eventually… she would come back to the tent that night at least… but what if she never made it back? What if something happened to her, something he could have prevented by just leaving his own selfish pride behind and asking Ana for help?

Damn he said sighing angrily letting his pride flit away, damn love and the things it made him do, he hated the feeling as much as he loved it.

"Kate" He muttered.

"What?" Ana asked, her attempt to look innocent failing because of the malicious grin on her face.

"Don't play dumb with me Rambina" Sawyer smirked threateningly "Kate, where is she?" He said his tone not leaving space for her to take the comment as a question.

"Not where, who" Ana said grinning all the more at how agitated she had got him.

Sawyer wasn't a man for violence with women, but he swore that if the butch in front of him was a man, he'd be eating dirt right now.

"What's with them damn riddles Butch?" He growled "Just tell me where she is!" He shouted now getting angry, she wasn't going to tell him and now he had let her have that power over him for nothing.

"Hold your horses Tex" She smirked "I don't know where she is, but Jack went off to talk to her this morning"

Just damn typical, Sawyer thought angrily. He was off running round the jungle looking for Kate while that Jackass was with her all along.

"So why aren't you with him huh Lucy?" Sawyer said sarcastically, feeling his need to put Ana down come swimming back.

"He wanted to talk to her alone" Ana said stiffening, no doubt Sawyer was going to ask her why… he would find out soon enough, she just didn't want to have to tell him… to see his reaction.

"And why might that be?" He asked.

"Why would I know?" Ana spat feeling defensive.

"Well you seem to have most of the answers" He shot back.

"He went to talk to her about…" Ana started trailing off.

"About what his next god damn hero phase?" Sawyer muttered.

"He went to tell her about… me" She said.

"Why you love birds have a tiff? Cause he aint getting his hands on her if that's what he thinks, stupid Jackass" Sawyer growled angrily.

"No were fine… were more than fine" Ana stated, more telling herself, Jack thought they where fine… but she knew otherwise, thankfully he didn't.

"Well oh happy, happy, happy" He said sarcastically "But that still don't answer my question Muchacha why he wanna talk to her?"

"Since when did you care about Jack?" She said.

"Since it concerned Kate" He said, his words stung, but she didn't know why… of course he was going to care if it was to do with Kate, why else? Why was she reacting like this?

And with that he was gone, leaving Ana alone with her thoughts.

Ok, I know I said it would be a Sana chap but I feel it was mainly Skate - sorry! I thought I got a little Sana in there but not enough, sorry to all Sana-ers! Lol! I dont have anything planned YET so any ideas would be nice! Sawyer also needs to find out about the baby, but it didnt really work in with this chap, so Ill have to tackle that soon!
