Chapter 3: They'll be Back

Name: John Locke

Flashback

He watched as the mini plane took people away from the island two at a time. The only one left that was leaving was Hugo Rayes, and Kate Austin were the last ones left waiting for the next plane.

"I can't believe they would let me go with my baby!" Kate said dropping to the ground.

"Dude don't worry Sawyer is a good dad and all, he'll watch over her." Hugo said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"You know it's not too late." He said coming up behind Kate.

"Too late for what Locke?" Him and Kate had made a truce after it turned out he was right about the four people wanting to kill them.

"It's not too late to stay."

"My baby and fiancée are already gone I'm going home John."

"It's not exactly home is it?" Charlie was all of a sudden next to Kate.

"Hey Charlie where have you been, haven't seen you in awhile."

"Jacob had a job for me, but Kate you've lived on this island for three years; you're free on this island. You have family on this island. I mean even I can admit that you're all family to me."

"You know Charlie you should have tried to convince me when Sawyer and Ashley were here."

"They'll be back, I can promise you that much."

End Flash Back

"Hey John."

"Boone, haven't see you for awhile."

"Jacob wanted me and Charlie to do something for him."

"Oh."

"So they're gone."

"Yeah, they're gone…for now."

"Yeah it shouldn't be long before they come back to us."

"So tell me what the dead are doing now a day."

"Mostly helping the island live." Boone said sitting next to him.

"That must be fun."

"Yeah, it is."

"How is Shannon?"

"She is still trying to get the scare off her chest. You know the bullet wound."

"Oh, well I hope she gets it off." He said with a bit of a laugh.

"It's really not funny, it is so ugly!" A familiar winy voice sounded behind him.

"Then cover it up with clothes!" Boone said laughing.

"Agh You're so annoying. You have no idea how much I can't wait till Sayid is back!" She then stormed away.

"Speaking of Sayid he is on a pane right now." Libby said standing up from her spot against a tent.

"Sayid is coming back already?" Sun was listening from her tent.

"Yeah. He should be here with in the next few hours."

He nodded then realized something. "You know being here is boring without having to fight with Jack about leaving or not."

"That's for sure." Rose said with a smile.

"I hope they'll be back soon." Jin said with the two year old Chul In his arms.

"I hope Jack is back really soon." Juliet said from her tent.

"He will be don't worry. The island will bring him and everyone else home." Mr. Eko was standing in the water.

"I miss Claire and Aaron." Charlie said standing up.

"Jacob calls." Nikki said taking Paulo's hand.

Then all the hostiles left.

He just sat there staring out at the ocean waiting for the sound of a crashing plane. But instead only heard the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

"They'll be home real soon John." He heard the wind say.

"I know, I know."
