Jack stumbled back to the beach after a long morning of searching for the little girl. Soon after she ran Jack realized that she was his responsibility. Kate had told her to stay with him.
"Where did Jaclyn go?" Charlie asked.
Jack looked at him. "She ran. I don't know why, but I think she needed to find Ben, and she did a pretty good job of keeping hidden."
"Did she tell you anything about herself?"
'She told me not to tell anyone...' Jack thought of Jaclyn's reluctance to tell him about her mother. "No, no she didn't tell me anything."
Charlie shrugged. "She'll be back man." He said.
Jack nodded and then started to pack food; he was going after her again.

Kate sat in the cold damp submarine which; she noted, had just stopped moving.
She looked up as Ben came down the ladder. "Welcome home," He said with a smile.
Then Kate followed him up the ladder into the sun, where she saw the beautiful sight of the jungle and ocean. She started to scream in joy. It was the scream that made her not notice Ben take out a needle and then when he injected her in the back she fell over.

Kate walked through the fence bracing herself and then was relieved when she passed through it safely. She walked up the small field to the edge of the tree line and then walked into the John's camp hands up.
"Kate, is there something you need?" John asked.
"I need to tell both Ben and Sawyer something." She said swallowing hard.
"Well lucky for you Ben is Sawyer's new roommate, they live in that house, you better hurry up." He said pointing at the yellow house across from his.
Kate nodded and muttered a thank-you before crossing the path and knocking on the door.
"Well howdy Freckles, come to pay me a nice visit?" James said with his usual 'screw off' smirk.
Kate pushed him in the door and walked into the living room where Ben sat listening to music. "Ben." She said.
"Hello Kate, here to respond to our earlier conversation?" He reminded her of him catching her this morning and telling her that she was his.
Kate shook her head. "Yes, well I'm going to die." She said simply. She looked at James who just raised his eyebrows. "I need your help, I know you know how to make pregnant women live, please let me live." She said putting her hands on her stomach defensively.
"Are you trying to say your pregnant?" Ben asked smiling at James who looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"Yes, I guess I am." She said with a nod.
"Well then yes Kate, you are going to die." He said with a smirk.
"After what you told me this morning, you're just going to let me die." She said taking a step back.
"There is nothing I can do, now you better leave before Sawyer kills you." She looked at Sawyer who had the look of murder in his eyes. The way she looked at Wayne.
"Out." He muttered and Kate nodded walking out the door.

Jack wandered around the jungle pointlessly; it was two hours after he began to search when he decided to head back to the beach. "She didn't go that way." a voice he hadn't heard in ten years said quietly.
HE turned around slowly. "Juliet?" He asked as he saw her standing in front of him.

She could hear him calling her name but she didn't care she had to find her mom.
She walked along the beach following the sound of a motor. That was when she saw the deck with the submarine. She went up to the dock and aw foot prints, she followed them knowingly for almost four hours before he saw her. Her state fill Jaclyn with dread as she saw her mother laying in the tall grass eyes closed, mouth slightly open and hands over her head.
"HELP!" Jaclyn screamed out falling to her knees.
