"So, what's the plan?" Jackson asked Tom.
Tom sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I was thinking of trying to find other Resistances. There have to be other people out there."
Jackson nodded. "When you want to leave, we're coming with you."
Tom blinked. "I don't think that's a very good idea."
Jackson crossed his arms. It was late afternoon and everyone was down at the beach. He would be there too, but it had been almost 6 months since the spaceship had come. He and Tom had things to discuss. "Look, you need people. We're people."
Tom nodded. "What about the Captain?" He asked.
Jackson shrugged. "He'll be here, haunting the island. But you have to agree, we need to come help you. I suggest going to China."
Tom nodded. "A huge population means a larger Resistance probably." He agreed. Tom looked out at the beach and saw his son playing in the water. Already, he had growths on his back. "This place is like a haven for Ben." He murmured. "He deserves that, after all he's been through."
Jackson nodded. "I wonder how long it will be before I have to worry about that." He mused.
Tom nodded. "So you're sure you want to come with us. Even though it'll probably kill you."
Jackson shrugged. "It's our planet as well as yours." He replied. "We've been stuck on this island for almost 3 years. It's time to leave."
"We should start gathering food for the journey." Tom said.
"We should. We've all talked about this, they're really excited to get off the island." At Tom's surprised look, Jackson said with a smile. "The island's kinda small and we've got an insane captain in case you haven't noticed."
Tom chuckled. "Agreed."
It was 5 more days before they were ready to leave. Taylor sighed, brushing the hair out of her eyes as she packed everything she had, which wasn't much, into a small bag. She looked around at the hut she shared with Lex, Abby, and Eric. She walked outside to the plane. She touched its side, rubbing it. "Well, I guess this is it." She said to the plane. "We've been through a lot. I can only say I'm glad that you brought us here. We escaped death. We're alive. It's so weird to not be able to see you. It's gotten to be normal on this island, I guess. But I'll come back. Someday." She promised, wiping the tears that were about to fall.
"Taylor, come on!" Lourdes yelled in the distance.
Taylor gave one last smile at the plane. "We'll be back." She promised again.
A/N Should I do a sequel to this?
