Disclaimer: I own nothing

Summary: They had lied to world for 3 years now and they were starting to believe it themselves until Jack receives a visitor that makes him face the truth.

A/N: Since we aren't getting much news on the Jacket front I decided to make one of the promos that we did get more about them.


The Truth – Part 2


Jack lifted his head at the sound of Jeremy Bentham's name. He shook his head trying to pay more attention to the woman.

"…he told me that…that you knew…my sister. "she paused to stop herself from crying "He told me that she's alive which is impossible because she died in plane crash six years ago, but he came to me and he told me and I couldn't stop thinking about it and I had to know, did you?" she asked out of breath. She looked at him and wasn't sure if he was following since he was now leaning on the door frame to support himself.

He just stared at her.

"Her name is Juliet Burke"

Rachel put her hands to her mouth and started crying the man's reaction was all she needed.

Jack's heart skipped a beat at the sound of her name and the cloudy haze around his vision became clear. "Juliet" he said softly.

Now it was her turn to lean against the wall for support. Her little sister was alive. She looked up when she heard Dr. Shephard mumbling something. "What?" she did manage to ask.

"I said...d' you wanna come in?" He slurred

This time all she could do was nod to him. He leaned against the door to push it open further so she could enter. "Do you have coffee?" she asked him hoping that some caffeine would make him more lucid. He followed her into the kitchen and pointed to things she needed.

He knocked some papers off the couch and offered her a seat and sat down on a chair on the other side and drank his coffee. When he was finished he placed it on the table and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands. "I left her there, I…I promised and I…I left her there and the others…I left them there too" he said

"Others?" She asked "I though only eight of you survived?"

"We lied" He said with his face still in his hands "We lied"

"Lied, why?" She asked confused

"Because, because I listened to him and I never listened to him, he told it was only way to protect them. But he meant the island not them"

"Who?

"Jeremy Bentham whose real name is John Locke and he was one of the survivors"

He was one of the survivors? How did he get off the island?

"I don't know" Jack replied "But I've been trying to get back to save them" He said waving his arms around the room.

Rachel got up and looked around to see what the mess actually was. She was looking at the maps from all over the world some had red x's on them, other had circles with question marks inside them.

"I've been trying to find the island" Jack said standing next to her.

Rachel turned to look at Jack. "How well did you know Juliet?" Rachel asked curious because Jeremy or Locke or whoever he was said that Jack was the man she had to talk to do about Juliet.

"I should've known her better" Jack replied shaking his head sadly. "She never said she had a sister" Jack said looking towards the ground his mind was very clear now. "But I did know she's one of the bravest people I've ever met"

Rachel smiled and looked at him.

Jack looked at her then he looked away, Juliet had risked her life for him and the last thing he said to her was that he'd be back in hour. "Juliet had been living on the island for three years when I met her" He started.

Rachel looked at Jack in shock, she knew when she realized that Jack knew her that she alive but now this was the first time she was realizing that her sister had been living an island for six years. "I always knew that Juliet was a strong person she just never let herself believe it, but surviving on an island…"

Jack had kept the lie for so long that it was destroying him, he needed to tell the truth and sitting here with Juliet's sister he wanted to do it even more. "…She wasn't alone…" He began "She was living with other people, we called them the Others" he said with a laugh.

"What?"She asked confused.

"Juliet was their fertility doctor" He said continuing

Rachel opened her mouth but nothing came out she walked back over to couch and sat down. "Fertility doctor, she was their fertility doctor. They said their company was just outside Portland"

Now Jack was confused "What company?" he asked walking back to his own chair and sitting down.

"Mittelos Bioscience, the company that she went to work for"

"There was no Mittelos Bioscience" Jack told her "There was a group that was there years ago called Dharma but they were all killed."

Tbc…
