"Sawyer!" somebody called out over and over again. When he realised that he wasn't dreaming he opened his eyes and saw blue eyes looking at him.
"Juliet?" he asked still a little sleepy. His head was aching and the picture in front of his eyes was blurry.
"It's me stupid!" Kate's nerved voice reverberated in his head.
"Kate? Ugh.... Where are we?" his voice was rough and barely over a whisper.
"Could you stop mumbling and get up. We've gotta problem."
Sawyer sat up quickly rubbing his eyes. He remembered the last night and now everything was coming back to him. He got tazered…by Isabel.
"Mhm... Nice dress, Freckles." He joked; as he noticed she was now wearing one and he strangely had the feeling he had seen it before. Kate gave him a well serious look; at least she tried to be serious. "Uh-uh, don't say anything. Let me guess. We're back in 2007 and again locked up in the same cages like 3 years ago?!" Sawyer didn't even need an answer, Kate's look said it all and he just shook his head. "Son of a bitch. I knew it." He cursed.
"Yeah, I realised when I woke up in the shower again. Tom was waiting for me to wake up and he made me wear this dress. Again. Oh and I had a nice meeting with, surprise, Ben. Again." She rolled her eyes
"Wait you met Ben? Where's Karl. I-I remember him locked up in the other cage when I first woke up here."
"What do you mean?"
"I swear, he was here. You weren't here yet and he helped me out. I remember runnin' out in the jungle and then …. . "Sawyer broke up, his mind was racing. "What then?" Kate asked pulling Sawyer up to his feet. "Then she's alive." he mumbled.
"What? Who's alive?"
"Juliet. She's here." A wide smile spread on his face, bringing out his dimples. It was the first smile in three years. The first real smile he gave her and she fell for him all over again.
Kate smiled lightly, but her smile disappeared as fast as it had appeared. "What's wrong, Freckles?"
"She can't be here, Sawyer. She's dead. We both know, she is. What happened, happened."
Sawyers expression changed in a second from full of joy to more then pissed. "Who told ya that shit, Freckles? She may have died in the past or presents or what ever. But she ain't dead here!" Kate frowned, she was too afraid to let all her doubts out she had on her mind. So she decided to keep her mouth shut and make him angrier then he was now. Well, he wasn't seriously upset with her. Sawyer stepped closer and put his hands on her shoulder.
"I saw that pig, Pickett with Tom and Isabel in the jungle last night. So tell me, Kate. You still think she ain't alive?" He looked her deeply in the eyes. Kate remembered Juliet, shooting Danny right in front of their eyes and then she shook her head and gave him a warm smile.
"How come you're in my cage, anyways?" Sawyer then asked confused. Kate leaned against the bars rolling her eyes up to him and down again like she always did. "Sneaked out." She smiled mischievous. Sawyer trapped himself looking at her that way again. That way he'd looked at her 3 years ago. That way he'd hurt Juliet with. The way he never wanted to look at her again and as soon as he noticed he turned serious again and took a few steps back.
"Ain't the best idea to come over, Freckles. They'll notice somewhere along the way." She got the hint. He didn't want her there. Of course he'd been living with Juliet for 3 years but he couldn't say all the feelings he once had for her where gone just yet. "I don't want you to get hurt." He added and Kate's heart skipped a beat.
"Let's get out of here and find Jack and Juliet." She suggested with a big smile. For a minute Sawyer thought about that idea, but then shook his head. "Let's just wait. They're coming for us anyways. And the Doc. He'll get through this. Remember Juliet's with him."
He noticed she felt quite uncomfortable as she began climbing back up the bars to leave his cage. "Okay." She seriously tried to trust him, the whole situation. She didn't. There was still that bad feeling coming from her stomach that told her something was gonna happen. Something really bad. Something they didn't expect.
