I wait patiently for Jack to return for me, as I know he eventually will do. A meeting is held between the main leaders, or "A-Team" of the camp. Sayid and Locke are present. Desmond, Charlie, Jin and Hurley have gone on a camping trip. Claire told me. At the meeting, my friends devise a plan. "When Jack comes back, he not going to be going back to the Others." Locke says. "But how does a crazy plan like that work?" I ask. Sayid looks up. "Easy, we kidnap him." "But he's one of us!" He looks at me wearily. "He was one of us, Karl. But he's working for the enemy. So...how do we do this?" "I think that when he comes back for me, Sayid, you hide in my tent. When I'm ready, I'll convince him to get something from my tent for me, and you jump on him." "How will I know when?" "I'll say- please Jack, it means a lot to me." I declare in a falsetto. "If Kate can do it, then I can do it too!" They laugh. We have a plan, and we're ready.

The next afternoon, Jack arrives. "Afternoon, Karl. Long time, no see." "I presume you're here to return me to my people?" "That's correct. Now, if we can jus-" "Jack,can you grab something from my tent for me?" He starts walking, but right when he's in front of the tent, he turns. "Why?" I smile slyly and say. "Please Jack, it means a lot to me.." He nods, just as Sayid jumps out of the tent, tackling him. "Didn't think you could get away that easily did you?" he snarls. "Kidnapping one of us, Jack, was a big mistake." Jack's eyes are wide in shock. "These are the same people who kidnapped us, and killed us, and sabotaged us, Sayid. They're not one of us!" "They're just kids, Jack. Besides, they've never done anything to harm us." Jack smiles. Sayid glares at him. "Not to mention that you're working with them. You kidnapped Alex! Now, you're not going anywhere." Sawyer walks up. "Well well well, welcome back Doc. Had fun kidnapping kids?" He says sarcastically. Jack glares at him, as Sayid and Sawyer pull their guns out. "Drop the gun, Ford. Jarrah too." a voice cries from behind us.. I turn to see Juliet staring at us, her own gun held out. "You heard me. Drop the guns." They don't comply. She looks at me. "I think your stitches are infected, Karl." It's such a normal thing to say, for such an absurd moment. Then I realise it: she's here. Not to help Jack, as I can tell from the surprised look on his face. She puts her gun back, and rushes to hug me. I embrace her, and look at her. "Where's my wife, Juliet?" Her face softens. "She's with her father, Karl." She turns to them, and says. "Jack and I will be staying a while, is that ok?" Stunned, Sayid nods. Then Desmond runs up. "Doctor! There's a woman that parachuted onto the island! She needs your help!" Astounded,we all stare, as Jack runs off with him. This is going to be good. We're going to be saved.
