Disclaimer: I don't own LOST. [ you all know that :) ]

But anyways, read, review, enjoy. All the normal stuff. :)


Just like I remember

Cameras flash and blind the group. Incoming shouts make their own thoughts inaudible. Jack holds Kate's shaking hand in his lap. She searches for something sweet and comforting in his eyes; something to reassure her. All she sees is strength and courage.

Jack is withdrawn into his thoughts; trying to remember every detail of their perfectly planned anecdote. Don't forget, there are no others, there are no survivors, just them, that's it.

"Jack. Jack. Jack…" Kate nudges him and raises her eyebrows towards the cameras.

He leans in near the small microphone on the table. "I'm sorry, what was the question?"

"Jack, can you tell us what really happened?"

Jack swallows hard and glances quickly at Kate then to the rest of the Oceanic six.

"We crashed. Some lived. Some died."

And some lied.
