Lost

Chapter 5. Henry Gale

I was raised to be able to tell when anyone is lying so when Danielle Russo found a man named Henry Gale in the jungle and Sayid brought him to the buncker, they wanted me to talk to him to see if he was telling the truth.

"Hello Henry"

"Hello, well aren't you going to tell me  your name?"

"Nope"

"Why not?"

"Because I think you're an other and you already know my name."

"Thats crazy I'm not, look my air balloon crashed here and my wife died in the crash"

"Bull crap, I've met people like you, liars and manipulators, I see the evil in your eyes Henry, even if that is you real name"

"Of course its my name, why wouldn't it be?"

"Look the only way to tell if your telling the truth or not is if you tell us where you supposed balloon crashed and where your buried your wife"

"Fine if that's what it takes to get you to believe me"

He draws the map and I leave his locked room to give the map to Sayid, he goes with Ana-Lucia and Charlie to see if the balloon is there.

I stay at the bunker with Jack and Locke. No matter how much I protested Jack let Henry out to eat breakfast with us.

"Thats a nice necklace where did you get it?" He ask me

"Thats non of your business"

"Whats the computer for?" He asks Jack

"Nothing" Jack says

I'm sitting on top of  the counter eating my cereal and Henry sits across from Locke at the table

"Cereal, wow where did you guys get cereal?"

"It was down here all along, the pantrys full of food" Locke answers

He picks up the box and looks in it "How old is it?"

No one answers.

"You guys don't know much huh? I mean I'd be asking all kinds of questions about this stuff down here, you guys don't even seem that curious"

"You want the cereal or don't you?" I say

Henry is trying to get into our heads. Hes already go into Jacks and Lockes, but I see right through his act.

He pours the cereal into the bowl "This must be my reward or good behavior huh? I guess I earned myself some good will for finally drawing that map"

I have yet to tell Locke and Jack about the map.

"What map?" Jack ask

"The map to my balloon"

"You guys have some real trust issues, of couse if I was one of them, these people that you seem to think are your enemies, what would I do? Well, there would be no balloon, so I draw a map to be really secluded place like a cave or some underbrush good place for a trap, an ambush, and when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them, then they used them to trade for me, I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them huh?  You guys got any milk?"

"Draw it again a map to your balloon" Jack demands

"I was joking, I was making a joke, theres nothing out there besides my balloon, I was just frustrated it was a stupid thing to say I'm sorry"

"Its too late anyway they are already long gone Jack" Locke says

"So whats done is done?" Jack says

"Thats right"

"Put him back in the armory"
