"I think I've almost got it!"

Jack shook his head at Kate as she stood on her tip of her toes to reach for a mango far above her head.

"Not like that you won't. Here. You sit down and rest. I'll get it."

Rolling her eyes, Kate planted herself on a rock below the tree she'd been reaching for the mango. A voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Both of you, don't move! Put your hands up!"

Jack dropped the mango he'd managed to get for Kate and was by her side. Before Jack could speak, he saw a pretty blonde stun him with a taser she'd apparently had in her back pocket. He saw nothing after that.

Kate was frantic, she had no idea where she was. She was in some sort of holding room. It was the plainest thing she'd ever seen, and it reminded her of a jail cell. A large metal door in front of her opened and in came the blonde that had stunned her earlier. She found she was sitting on a bed, a hard one, but still a bed nonetheless. Staying where she was at, she watched the blonde woman approach her.

"Who are you?"

The blonde woman put her hands up to try and calm Kate.

"Kate. My name's Juliet. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to help you. It's ok. You can trust me. I'm a doctor."

Kate didn't trust this woman, but there was a gentleness in her voice she couldn't avoid. The blonde was now sitting across from her, trying to get her to open up.

"Do I have your permission to examine you? I just want to make sure your baby is doing ok."

Kate froze and drew her knees up on the bed.

"What did you do to me? My baby?"

There was a shadow of sadness in Juliet's eyes and Kate could see it.

"I promise you, your baby is perfectly safe. My job is to make sure this baby is as healthy as possible. Now, do I have your permission to examine you?"

Kate seemed to relent and put her feet on the floor below her. She looked everywhere in the room except for Juliet. She stayed quiet as Juliet put the bell of the stethoscope up to her belly.

"Good. This baby is very strong, and healthy. Let me just listen to your heart and lungs real quick."

Still staying quiet, Kate stared at an invisible crack in the wall and completely avoided eye contact with Juliet.

"Ok. All normal. Your not going to like this last part. Can you lift up your shirt a little for me?"

Kate's eyes widened as Juliet pulled out a syringe filled with a green substance.

"What is that?"

Juliet seemed to sadden again and she explained herself.

"This is what's keeping the both of you alive."

Swallowing, Kate let Juliet give her the syringe with the green substance. Helping her lie back on the hard bed against the pillow, Juliet gave her an answer.

"If I don't give you this, you'll go into a coma and die. The side effect of this, is it'll make you sleepy. You have a rest."

Before Kate could ask Juliet what she meant by if she didn't get the medication she'd just been given she'd die, she felt her eyes become heavy. She could barely see as Juliet vacated her spot next to Kate.

Juliet was more than upset. She was livid. She looked Danny in the eye, clearly he couldn't follow her directions.

"I thought I said to get information out of her. You get too carried away. She is carrying a child! That child is my responsibility."

Danny glared at her and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Ben said to get info out of her, so I did. Anyways, I stuck her in with Shephard. She should be waking up soon."

When Kate woke again, she found she was in the same cell as Jack. He hadn't slept in days, and he had a five-o-clock shadow. She didn't even know what day it was anymore. But they had to get out of here. Suddenly, pain began shooting up and down her abdomen. 'This is great timing.'
