Chapter 2

Who are you people?

"Stay put and no talking." The tall man ordered Jack and Kate as they were placed in the helicopter with their hands bound by rope. They sat in the back on one of the benches that sat across from each other.

Kate looked at Jack apologetically. She knew they were going to use her to get to him, and she knew that it would not be pretty especially since Jack really was telling the truth.

"What are we going to do with the rest of them? What if they try to get away?" Dawson asked his leader at the door.

"Tell them that if they don't listen, you'll shoot them. Make sure you and Cainin keep them in order until the others arrive. They should be here soon."

"And these two?" Dawson glared at Jack.

"Leave that to me. Now go."

Dawson left the helicopter, closing the door behind him with a slam.

"Who are you people?" Jack asked right away.

"You're the Hostiles, you should know." Lukas sat down on the seat across from them and set his pistol by his side.

"We are not them!" Jack said, disgusted at being referred to as those animals.

"So you know who I am referring to then?" Lukas leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and listened intently.

"If you're talking about the people who terrorized us these last few months, then yeah."

"Terrorized you how?"

"Capturing us, lying to us, killing some of our own… The list goes on."

"Are you from Dharma?" Lukas asked, very interested to know.

Jack let out a deep sigh, "No. I have told you already who we are and where we are from. Our plane crashed on September 22, it was flying from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles. We have been stuck here for over 3 months."

"Why do you insist on lying to me?" Lukas sat up and leaned back, annoyed, as he rubbed his temples with his pointer fingers.

"We're not lying!" Kate said.

"You, shut up!" Lukas shot forward and growled at her. "Now tell the truth!" He pointed his gun at Jack.

"I am."

"No, you're not! You are the hostiles! You killed Naomi, and you killed my family!" He was screaming like a mad man now.

"Locke killed Naomi, not Jack!" Kate shouted back at him.

"Who is Locke?" He hesitated for a second.

"Locke is another survivor just like us, except he does not want to be rescued, unlike the rest of us who do." Jack scowled at the thought of the man. He was the reason they were in this mess right now.

"Is he out there with the others right now?" Lukas asked glancing out a side window.

"No," Jack sighed, "he's gone."

"You are lying again!"

Jack didn't even bother saying another word. Anything he said just made things worse anyway. No matter what, this man would say he was lying.

"Oh, so now you're not going to talk?" Lukas twirled the gun in his hand.

"Anything he says, you'll just accuse him of lying." Kate snapped.

"Fine. If you won't tell the truth," Lukas aimed the gun at Kate's left leg, "then I guess I'll just have to make a hole in your girlfriend's leg."

"He's telling the truth!" Kate yelled, fearing for her leg.

Lukas' hand shot forward and slapped Kate in the face, "I said to shut up!"

At that, Jack leaned back against the seat, raised his feet in the air and kicked the pistol out of the man's hand, then he charged forward and head butted him, knocking him out.

"Kate, the gun!" Jack whispered harshly.

Kate picked up the gun with her tied up hands and handed it to him, "What are we going to do?"

"See if you can find a knife around here."

Kate searched the floor and the seats then found a switch blade and popped it open, "Found one!"

"Ok, untie me, hurry."

Kate freed his hands and he did the same for her. She pocketed the knife and looked at the unconscious man lying on the seat, "We better hurry. He won't be out long."

"You okay?" Jack asked before opening the door. He was staring at her red cheek.

"I'll be fine." She nodded.

"Then let's go." Jack opened the door cautiously and peeked out.

"Jack, we only have one gun and they have two, shot guns might I add."

"Well we have to do something."

"They'll kill us before we get the chance."

"Stop, you Hostiles!" A deep voice barked from behind. Lukas was awake.

"Kate, get out now!" Jack shoved Kate forward and she jumped out the door.

Jack looked back just in time to block a blow from the big man as he lunged at him with his fist, "You thought you could escape, huh?" He chuckled and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"We are not who you think we are!" Jack ducked from another fist coming at him.

"Yeah, you're ghosts of plane crash survivors." He said sarcastically.

Jack took a hard punch in the gut and wrenched over in pain, "Aahh!"

"Ha!"

Suddenly Jack pounced at him, knocking them both out the helicopter door and on the ground. Jack punched him once, twice, three times until his nose bled and his eye swelled. He then realized his surroundings. He looked up and everyone was staring at them in horror.

"Jack!" Kate screamed from behind as he looked over and saw that Dawson had his gun aimed at him. He got up and bolted out of the way just as he shot it. The bullet bounced off the copter with a loud clang.

"Kate, run!" Jack yelled as he grabbed her hand and started sprinting towards the forest.

Dawson and Cainin shot at them multiple times as they chased after them, each time missing. Kate felt one fly right by her head as she ran by Jack's side. They hit the forest instantly and kept on running, bullets flying everywhere.

"Jack, they're gaining on us!"

"Keep going!" He held her hand tight as they darted past trees and jumped over fallen logs.

They reached the stream and Kate yelled, "Wait, your backpack!" Kate saw the pack that Jack had left behind on the rocks.

"We don't have time. Leave it!" Jack shouted. They could hear them coming.

"The radio you took from Ben is in it!" Kate said out of breath as she yanked it off the rocks and hurried towards him.

"Good thinking!" Jack grabbed the pack from her hands and slung it over his shoulder.

"You two better just give up!" Dawson's voice yelled. They were close.

"Go!" Jack yelled.

Kate got the hint and took off running again, this time with Jack behind her.

Jack was tired of running. They had been running for what seemed like forever and his lungs felt like they were about to explode. He looked around for any place that they could hide before the men caught up to them.

"Jack!" Kate grabbed his arm and pointed towards a giant tree with large over hanging branches. It was like they had the same brain as he nodded and they hurried towards it. It was a tight squeeze but they managed to fit.

"We've lost them." The skinny bald man said to Dawson as they came into sight, guns extended.

"Just look around. They're here somewhere." Dawson snapped as he searched the area.

"Why don't we just go back?"

"We can't just let these murderers get away!" Dawson turned to face his partner.

"What if they are telling the truth…?"

"You said so yourself that all those people from that airline, Oceanic... 8...1...Something, are all dead."

"But their stories seemed so real when I talked to them. The names they told me…"

"People lie. They lie."

"They all said that some guy named John Locke killed Naomi, not that Jack guy."

"And did you see this Locke character anywhere?"

"Well, no… But-"

"I bet this Jack is their leader and they're all just defending him!"

"They all had the exact same story, Daws-"

"Just shut up!" Dawson shot him a nasty look. "And keep looking!"

Jack could feel Kate breathing on his neck as she inhaled in and out, still trying to regain her breath. They were so close that her body was pressed up against his side. It reminded him of the time they had been caught in Rousseau's net. He would never forget how close they were that time and how he had desperately wanted to kiss her.

Jack's thoughts were suddenly broken as they both stopped breathing and peered out the small opening of their hiding place. Dawson was inching towards it slowly, his gun pointed directly at them. Bleep! Dawson stopped. Bleep! His jacket was beeping. Bleep!

"Are you going to answer that?" Cainin asked, annoyed.

Bleep! Dawson cursed under his breath then dug into his jacket pocket and took out a small black radio. Bleep! He turned a switch and Lukas' voice came over it,

"Dawson!"

"Yeah." Dawson answered with a sigh.

"Where have you idiots been?" He was yelling.

"Still looking for the two that escaped."

"Leave them. Marcus and his team are here, so get your butts back!"

"We're right on their trail!" Dawson argued.

"I don't care! As long as we've got the others they can't do anything! Now get back here and no more arguing!" The radio beeped one more time as Lukas signed off.

Dawson cursed again as he pocketed the radio.

"Are we going?" Cainin asked.

"Do we have a choice?" Dawson snapped.

"Let's go then. I don't like it in here." Cainin eyed the jungle warily and then turned around and started walking back in the direction they came from.

Dawson took one glance at the giant tree then turned and followed, disappearing into the jungle once again.

Jack leapt out of behind the branches as soon as he knew they were gone and started walking the way the two men had left.

"Jack, where are you going?" Kate asked as she came out of behind the tree as well.

"We have to go back." He held the gun he had taken from Lukas in his hand and looked at her.

"That's your plan?" She gave him a "get serious" look. "You expect the two of us to go barging in there with one gun, and a knife and free 30 people? Were you even listening when he said that more of them have arrived?"

"Well what do we do then?" Jack raised his voice at her, even though he knew she was right.

"First, you should try and get a hold of Hurley again. Hopefully they're all still at the beach."

"Then what?"

"We get over there."

"Do you even know the way back?"

"It's worth a try, Jack. They have more guns with them and Sayid will know what we should do."

"Yeah because Sayid knows everything." Jack said sarcastically.

"What is wrong with you?" Kate stepped closer to him.

"This is my fault! I thought I was saving us, and again I messed it up. Who knows what that Lukas and his people could do to them… It's my fault!"

Kate placed her hand on his shoulder, "Jack, you didn't know. We were all in this together."

He looked away from her then dug into his back pack and pulled out Ben's talkie. "Let's get walking."

"Anything?" Sawyer asked Hurley as they both stood by the shore looking at the walkie talkie in Hurley's hand.

"Dude, you're standing right here, did you hear anything?"

"Well when is he going to call back?" Sawyer ran his fingers through his long hair and kicked the sand under his feet.

"Jack knows what he's doing. Just be patient." Juliet said as she came up beside Sawyer.

"Oh yeah, the Ol' Doc always knows what he's doing. I forgot. He's the hero." Sawyer scoffed and looked out into the ocean.

"Jsbfhfbukdsjfk!" Jin exclaimed and pointed out in the distance at the blue water.

"What's he saying?" Bernard asked as they all looked where he was pointing.

"Something's out there!" Sawyer exclaimed.

"Is it the rescue?" Hurley asked, as he strained his eyes to see.

Sayid ran behind them and grabbed something off of one of the bodies Hurley had hit with the hippie van and returned.

"Do you see it?"

"What is it?"

"Are they here to rescue us?"

"Hbkjhgiregn?"

Everyone was asking questions all at the same time as Sayid peered out of a pair of old binoculars, "It's…" he couldn't believe what he was seeing, "it's Desmond!"

As the small boat containing a very tired Scottish man neared towards them, they all jumped up and down and ran towards him. Hurley had dropped the walkie talkie in the sand and had completely forgotten about it as Jack's voice yelled into the small black box, "Hurley? Hurley, are you there? Hello? Is anyone there? Hurley!"
