Its daytime now as we make our way through the jungle.

Miles stops walking. 

"What?" I ask

"Who's Danielle and Karl?" Miles asks

"You mean Rousseau, the French woman?" Claire asks 

He bends down and starts moving the dirt and its Danielle's dead body.

"Is this your French woman?" Miles says 

And next to her is Karl.

"How did you know they were down here? Your buddies do this?" Sawyer asks

"They're not my buddies, man" 

*

We walk some more. We hear some rustling in the jungle and Sawyer and I get our weapons ready.

"Woah" The guy who came out of the jungle says

"Who the hell are you?" Sawyer asks

"Lapidus?" Miles says 

"Miles?"

"You two know each other?" Sawyer says

"You gotta hide, man, right now" Lapidus says 

"What?" Miles says 

"Keamy's coming back. If he sees you, he'll kill all of you. He's close. You gotta hide!"

Sawyer, Claire, Miles, baby Aaron, and I hid behind the trees.

They all leave. We're safe for now.

Its night and we find a place to camp for the night.

We wake up and Claire is gone.

"Wheres Claire?" I ask

"She just walked off into the jungle" Miles says

"What? When?" Sawyer says 

"In the middle of the night,  just got up and left"

"And you let her go alone?" Sawyer says 

"She wasn't alone"

"Well, who was she with?"

"She called him "Dad""

We hear a baby crying in the distance. 

"Claire!"

Sawyer and I run over there and find Aaron at a tree alone.

Claire is not where to be found.

"Hayley, I need you to go back to the beach, Miles and I are going to go looking for Claire"

"James, I can't just leave"

"Hayley, you have too, please"

I look at him with pleading eyes.

"You're not winning this one" He tells me

"Fine" 

I take my rifle and I head to the beach

*

It's daytime by the time I get to the beach.

"Hayley?" 

"Hey Jack"

"What the hell happened? Wheres Sawyer and everybody else?" 

"It's a long story"

I tell Jack, Juliet, and Kate everything that's happened in the past few days.

Its night now and we hear a helicopter in the distance. It flys over our head and drops something. We all run over to what it dropped. 

I open the bag and I take out a bunch of crap until I get to the radiophone that as a tracker on it.

"I think they want us to follow them" I say

*

Rose says "It was Sayid and Desmond in the helicopter, right? It had to be. Why else would they have dropped that thingamabob right over us?" 

"Then why wouldn't they just land?" Sun says 

"I don't know, but this is tracking the chopper. They want us to know where they're going" I say

"Its a phone, right? Can't we just call?" Sun says 

"Well?" Jack asks who I believe is Daniel Faraday  

He nods

"Don't try anything stupid" Jack says

"Understood" Faraday says 

He presses a few buttons on the phone.

"Put her down over there"

"Is that from the chopper?" Juliet asks 

"You sure?"

"We're still five klicks from the site"

"I said put her down, Frank! Gear up. We hit the ground, we deploy to the Orchid. Heads down. Let's do this"

It cuts out.

"You know what the Orchid is?" Jack asks Juliet 

"No. I didn't hear Desmond or Sayid either"

Jack decides that he and Kate are going to go to where the chopper landed.

*

Juliet and I are talking when we see Sayid on a boat so Juliet, Sun, Jin, and I run over there. 

"Sayid, wheres Desmond?" Sun asks

"He's fine, on the freighter. I'm going to take people back, six at a time. We have to go right now before the helicopter gets back to the boat"

"Why do we have to go to the boat before the chopper gets back?" Juliet asks

"Because the men on the helicopter have every intention of killing us all"

I sigh "Jack and Kate just went running after it" 

Everyone is getting ready for the first trip back to the freighter. Sayid is going after Jack and Kate and Faraday is going to be taking the people.

"Okay, okay hold on. Sun is pregnant. She should go first" Juliet says

"No, Hayley should be the one to go first" Sun says

"Sun its fine, I'll take the next one"

"You sure?"

"Positive" 

Then Kate shows up with Aaron and Miles.

"Kate, is Sawyer okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine. Hayley, you know he's gonna want for you to get on this boat and leave the island right?"

"Yeah, I know"

The first trip leaves and Sun takes baby Aaron with her while Kate goes with Sayid to find Jack and Sawyer.

*

 Daniel Faraday is back from the first trip.

Juliet and I get the next trip ready.

I see a helicopter fly above our heads my best guess everyone who isn't here is on that helicopter on the way to the freighter.

Juliet convinces me to take the trip back to the freighter.

*

We are on the tiny boat when out of nowhere the freighter explodes.

"What the hell?" I whisper

We are sitting on the boat and we hear this weird sound, it's like a ringing in my ear. Then there's a flash of light, like the time on the dock.
