Last night, something crazy happened. A satellite phone fell from the sky. And Jack made everyone wait until morning to worry about the situation. And now, everyone stands on the beach, worrying about our new message.

"It was Sayid and Desmond in the helicopter, right?" Rose speculates. "I mean, it had to be. Why else would they have dropped that thingamabob right over us?"

"Then why wouldn't they just land?" Sun asks.

"I don't know, but this thing is tracking the chopper," Jack says, holding the phone. "So if they were on it, they want us to know where they're going."

"It's a phone, right? Can't we just call?" says Sun.

"Well?" Jack asks, turning to Faraday. He nods and Jack hands him the phone. "Don't try anything stupid."

"Understood." He pushes some buttons and gets us a signal.

"Put it down over there," a voice shouts.

"Is that from the chopper?" I ask. Faraday shushes me.

I hear Frank's voice. "We're still five clicks from the site."

"I said put it down, Frank. Okay, gear up, boys. Soon as we hit the ground, we deploy to the Orchid. Heads down! Let's do this."

The phone loses its signal and we just hear static. Jack turns to Juliet. "You know what the Orchid is?"

"No. I didn't hear Desmond or Sayid either," she answers.

"Kate, Tia," Jack says to us, clearing his throat. "Wanna take a walk?"

"Absolutely," Kate says. "I'll get water."

"Jack, I don't know if this is such a good idea, you just had surgery."

"I agree," Juliet says.

Jack rolls his eyes. "Tia, can you go get the guns?"

Juliet continues to argue with Jack, but I know it's pointless. Jack is too stubborn.

I grab the guns from where we hid them. Kate returns with water for three. Jack had blown off Juliet. We head out into the jungle.

We make our way through the jungle. The phone has a tracking system on it, kind of like when we were searching for the team when Faraday landed. "We're catching up," Jack says. "The chopper must've landed."

"Well, if it's landed, it's not going anywhere," I say to him. "Let's take a break."

"I don't need a break," Jack says.

I let out a sarcastic laugh. "You're bleeding," I say, pointing at his stomach, the blood seeping through his shirt.

"No, I'm not bleeding," he says, taking a drink of water. "I'm suppurating. It's discharge. My body's just fighting the infection around the stitches."

I roll my eyes at Kate. "You know when most people are lying and they can't look you in the eye?" Kate asks him. "You do the exact opposite."

I laugh and behind the bushes, I hear wood snap. My gun is in the air before Jack and Kate, who follow my example, pointed at the bush.

Our old friend Miles walks through the brush. "Hey, long time no see," he says, raising his arms at the guns.

I hear the baby cry. Sawyer comes through, carrying Aaron in his arms. "Hey, who are you talking to up there, Genghis?" he asks. His eyes widen as he sees my party of three.

"Where's Claire?" I ask him as Kate moves forward to take Aaron from him.

"We lost her," Sawyer says.

"You what?" Jack asks, shocked.

"She just walked off in the middle of the night. We looked for her for a day, but she was just gone. I was hoping maybe she went back to the beach."

"She didn't," Jack says.

"Well, what are y'all doing out here? What's that phone for?"

"The chopper flew over the beach. Someone tossed this out. It must've been Sayid."

"Well, you better hope it ain't Sayid, 'cause if he's with those animals that just blew up half of New Otherton, you do not wanna tussle with 'em."

"What, they tried to kill you?" Kate asks, rocking Aaron.

"Just like Locke said they would."

"So... what? We're supposed to just turn around and hide? 'Cause it seems like that didn't work so well for you."

"I'm sorry, Doc, maybe this is déja vu, but didn't you just do the whole Run Through the Jungle With a Walkie plan?"

"That helicopter is our only way off this island," Jack says as Aaron starts to cry louder.

"What's with you and getting off the island? You're like a damn broken record."

"Stop it!" Kate yells. "Are you two fighting each other now?"

"Look. I put Sayid and Desmond on that chopper. It was my call. It's my responsibility," Jack says, that guilty look on his face. "I'm going after it whether they're on it or not. You can all head back to the beach."

"Jack... no, no, no," Kate protests. "You can't go by yourself."

"Take care of the baby. Okay?"

The three of us exchange a glance as Jack ignores her and heads through the trees. Sawyer lest out a breath. "That son of a bitch is stubborn. Hold up! You don't get to die alone. You coming, Brown Eyes?"

I let out a breath. "Do I have a choice?"

Another two miles and Sawyer is getting bored. "Cut yourself shaving?" he asks Jack, noticing the stitches.

"Juliet and Tia took out my appendix a couple of days ago," he says, looking at the phone.

Sawyer turns back to me. "You kidding me?"

I shake my head. "Nope."

"Well, what else did I miss?"

Before I can answer, a loud banging comes out of the trees. "We're here," Jack says, looking at the phone. We break through the trees and we find the chopper and someone handcuffed to the vehicle. "Lapidus!" Jack calls, making Frank jump.

"Yeah!" Frank grunts, banging in his cuffs.

"You know this yahoo?" Sawyer asks, and I nod.

"'Yahoo'?" Franks exclaims, offended. "This yahoo dropped that phone on you guys so you could find me and I could fly you outta here. So why don't you do me a favor and get that back compartment? There's a toolbox. See if you can find something to get me outta these things."

"You heard the man," Jack says to Sawyer.

"Well, all right. Can I get you boys a nice, cold glass of lemonade while I'm back there?"

"Where are Sayid and Desmond?" I ask Frank, ignoring Sawyers jabs.

"Your buddies were smart enough to keep their asses on the boat because right now that's the safest place to be. Because when the boys that I brought over here come stomping out of this jungle, you're gonna wanna be long gone."

"Where'd they go?" Jack asks.

"They're up by some greenhouse, perched up there, waiting to snatch Linus."

"Soon as we cut you free, you'll be able fly us out of here?"

"Hell, yeah," Frank says, and Jack exhales.

"Hang on, Shaggy," Sawyer says, holding the toolbox. "You said the hit squad's gonna grab Ben Linus?"

"Well, I don't see what's gonna stop 'em," Frank says.

"What are they gonna do with the people that are with him?"

"Nothin' good."

Sawyer takes a deep breath then turns to Jack and I. "Hugo's with Ben."

"Son of a bitch!" Jack says, frustrated. "Where are they headed?"

"That way," Frank says, pointing. He drops hos hand and moves for the toolbox. Jack, Sawyer and I head that direction.

"You sure we're going the right way?" Sawyer asks about thirty minutes later.

"Lapidus said they were headed northeast," Jack says, his walk a little staggered.

"Jack, you need to slow down. You're losing a lot of blood." I tell him.

"I'm fine."

"Of course you're fine. You're always fine," Sawyer says.

We've come upon a large overgrown building. Frank said it was a greenhouse, but it doesn't really look like one, unless the DHARMA Initiative created a greenhouse just for growing weeds. "Is this it?" I ask, confused.

"I don't know," Jack says, looking over the building and catching his breath.

"So what's the plan, Sundance?" Sawyer asks.

"The plan is we wait til—,"

Behind me I hear a zipper. I know I'm not the only one who heard it, because Jack and Sawyer's guns are up as fast as mine.

"Hugo?" Sawyer asks, surprised. I lower my gun.

"Sawyer!" Hurley exclaims, zipping his pats back up.

"You all right?" Sawyer asks, unusually concerned.

"Dude, you came back. How'd you know where I was?" Before Sawyer can answer Hurley notices Jack and I, standing behind Sawyer, trying not to make the situation awkward. After all, it was Hurley who separated the groups in the first place.

"It's good to see you, Hurley," Jack says and I offer up a small wave.

"Yeah. Yeah, dudes. You, too."

"So where the hell is he?" Jack asks, referring to Locke. Wherever Ben is, we're sure to find John Locke.

"He's over here," Hurley says, leading the way behind an entrance into the greenhouse. Inside, John Locke is looking behind some of the plants. "Locke," Jack greets him.

"Hello Jack."

"What are you doing here?"

"There's a DHARMA station below us, and, um, I'm looking for a way to get in."

"Get in and do what?"

"Hugo, James, Tia, would you mind if I spoke to Jack alone?"

I don't want anything to do with another DHARMA station. Not after all of the crap we went through with the Swan, the Flame, and the freaking Door. Don't get me started on the Door. "Don't bother," Jack says, stopping the three of us from turning around. "We just came back for Hurley. Let's go."

We all start to leave, but Locke stops us. "Jack, you need to hear what I have to say."

Jack, severely pissed off, turns back around and walks up to Locke. "What I need to do is to walk back to the chopper, get on it, and get the rest of our people off this island."

"Uh, dude, probably not the best idea right now," Hurley says. "Those Rambo guys are taking Ben to that helicopter. He surrendered himself to 'em about an hour ago."

"Now why the hell would he do that?" Jack asks, turning away from Locke.

"I should explain," Locke says. "Please, if I could just speak to Jack alone.

I look at Jack for his okay. He nods and I turn around, Sawyer and Hurley following me. WE sit outside of the door, Hurley pulling some crackers out of his pocket. "What the hell they talking about in there, anyway?" Sawyer asks.

"I don't know. Leader stuff?" Hurley says, but Sawyer just scoffs.

"Where'd you get that?" he asks Hurley, eyeing the crackers.

"Came from a box Ben dug up out of the ground. They're good," he offers one to Sawyer and then to me. I decline, wrinkling my nose. Who knows how long they were in the ground.

"Thanks for coming back for me," Hurley says.

"Ah, you got it," says Sawyer over his cracker.

"Claire and the baby okay?"

Sawyer just looks dejectedly at the ground. Before he can respond, Ben comes out of the trees.

"How the hell did you get away?" Sawyer asks him.

Ben ignores him and walks into the greenhouse. A minute later Jack comes out. "Kate and Sayid are at the chopper with Lapidus. Faraday is taking people to the freighter on a zodiac raft."

"Well, let's get to 'em," I say, plunging into the trees once more.
