Boone walked through the jungle his anger evident. He and Shannon had had another fight. He was sick and tired of having her walk all over him. 'She never thinks of anyone else but herself,' Boone thought. Boone trudged through the jungle, when he saw his father, standing farther up the path ahead.

"Dad? Dad!" Boone yelled as he ran towards a man, who had long since been dead.

"Dad!" a younger Boone yelled as ran into his fathers embrace. His father picked him and held him in his arms. They were both laughing and smiling, "You're home. I missed you."

"I missed you too, sport," his dad said as he placed him back on the ground, "I have a surprise."

"What?"

"I got baseball tickets."

"Really?"

"Yup, so what do you say do you wanna go, just the 2 of us, a father son outing?"

"Yeah."

"What happened to her?" Charlie asked as he ran over to where Sun knelled next to the blonde pregnant woman, Clair.

"I don't know, she just collapsed," Sun said as Clair began to scream in pain.

"Do you think she's having the baby?"

"No."

"Dude, what's going on?" Hurley asked.

"Go to the herb garden I planted and bring me back some of the green plants, the ones with white stripes on them, make sure to get the bulbs," she instructed and Charlie ran off.

"Is she going to be okay?" Hurley asked.

"I don't know," she said. At least she had stopped screaming.

"Dad?" Boone called as he walked farther into the jungle. He had seen his father he was sure of it but now he was gone. He had disappeared. Boone walked a little farther and looked around.

"Boone, think fast?" his father yelled, Boone turned to face him.
Young Boone laughed as he caught the baseball his father had thrown to him in the parking lot of the stadium.

"Did you have fun at the game?" his father asked him as they began to walk towards the subway.

"Yeah, it was great."

"It was a pretty good game."

"Did you hear that?" Buffy asked Sawyer.

"Here, what?"

A load roar was heard, one distinctive of the monster.

"That."

"Run!"

They both took off running further into the jungle. As Buffy ran the gun she had been carrying, came lose and fell to the ground. She didn't notice and just kept running until they came to the hatch and ran inside.

"What's going on?" Michael asked as they came into the hatch and locked the door behind them.

"The monster," Buffy replied.

"You led it here?!"

"Where were we supposed to go?" Sawyer asked, annoyed.

"Forget it, where's Locke and Marie?" Buffy asked.

"Out, they headed back to the beach about an hour ago."

Buffy listened as the monster moved away from the hatch and back into the jungle, "We should go find them."

"You want me to go out there? With that thing?" Sawyer asked.

"Fine, be a coward and stay here, just make sure to type in the code. It's on the computer," Michael said.

"I'm no coward."

"Why don't you both stay," Buffy suggested and with that she left.

Marie and Locke ran through the jungle, the monster close behind them.

Boone now stood in a clearing. He was surrounded by trees and each one had an archaic symbol carved into its trunk. On the ground he noticed the gun Buffy had dropped. He carefully picked it up.

Young Boone watched the man, who held him and his father at gun point, with fear. His father stepped in front of him and he hid behind a trash can.

"Get down," the man said, pointing the gun at his father.

"Listen, calm down."

"Get on the ground now!"

Boone's father just nodded and lay down on the pavement.

"Now, give me your money," the man said, taking the wallet, Bone's father offered to him. He began to make his way towards Boone but Boone's father stopped him.

"Don't touch him," Boone's father said but the move was fatal. Boone cried out as the man turned around and shot his father, killing him. The man then ran off, leaving Boone with the body of hid dead father. Bone walked over, sat down, and began to cry.

Marie and Locke kept running. Locke could see Boone standing in a clearing surrounded by trees. He was just standing there, staring at something in his hand. It looked like he was in a trance or having a day dream.

"Get down!" Locke yelled trying to warn Boon as Marie ran ahead a little and into the clearing. That's when he heard the gunshot and saw Marie drop to the floor. He ran over to her and knelt beside her, cradling her body in his arms. They 3 of them now resided in the clearing.

It was dark now, Locke watched as the blood spread across Marie's stomach and began to stain her shirt. He looked up and into the eyes of the person that had killed his wife, Boone.
