Lost

Chapter 2. Charlotte Lewis

Its daytime now and it's pouring rain. 

Hurley goes to talk to Locke since he's just standing in the middle the rain.

Then the rain just stops.

"Let's go" Locke says 

"Why are you going east, I thought you said the barracks were due south?" I ask Locke 

"Because we have to make a little detour first"

"Detour to what?" Sawyer asks 

"Well, James there's a cabin I have to go to"

James. Right, Sawyers real name.

"I thought the cabin was back that way" Hurley says

"What did you say, Hugo?"

"Uh, I thought you were talking about the airplane cabin"

"Why are we wasting our time going to some shack anyway?" Sawyer asks Locke

"Because we're supposed to"

"Right like you were supposed to put in a knife in Naomi's back"

" uh-huh"

"You mind telling us where you are getting your orders from" I say

"I got 'em from Walt"

I look at Sawyer and a confused look is present on both of our faces

*

"What do you mean you saw Walt? In a dream?" I ask Locke 

"No dream. It was Walt, only...taller"

"Taller, what like a giant?" Sawyer says 

"Okay well, what exactly did Walt tell you?" I ask

"He said I had work to do, that I had to stop this woman Naomi from bringing the rest of her people here"

"What you didn't ask any follow-up questions?" Sawyer asks but neither of us is taking this seriously.

"Ben had shot me and left me for dead, Walt saved my life so I pretty much took him at his word" 

"He shot you, yet here you are, fit as a fiddle, tromping through the jungle" Sawyer says

Lockes lifts his shirt enough for us to see the bullet hole.

"That's right where your kidney is, how are you still alive?" I say

"Lucky for me, I don't have a kidney there"

*

We stop to take a break by a steam and we refill our water bottles.

I see Ben talking to Karl and Ben is doing was he does best and Karl takes out his gun.

"Easy, Karl. He's trying to get in your head"

Sawyer tells him and Alex that they should take a walk.

"Mind if I ask you a question, James" Ben says

"Yeah, I do"

I start to untie Ben from the tree because we are going to start walking soon.

"Why'd you leave Kate behind?"

"Your wasting your time, Yoda"

"I know it's not pleasant but let's face it, you really don't stand a chance now "

Sawyer pulls him to his feet.

"Chance at what?"

"James, look at yourself. Yes, on this island you're brave, daring, handsome. 
You're someone, but if you left with them, back in the real world a lowlife scam artist like you could never compete with a first-class surgeon. I think Kate was really upset when you made your choice to come with us"
