Oceanic Passengers Pt. 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

When they were back on the beach Scott and the rest of the party received the news of Pipper and Marissa's finding, this had lifted the survivor's spirits, everyone was happy and hopeful, everyone except those that had just arrived, they didn't tell anyone their experience, all they said was that the transmitter hadn't had enough battery to get a signal out.

 

That night Bree made another visit to the injured agent, she had been washing his injury with water and vodka from the plane so it wouldn't get infected, Dr.Sheppard had asked her to do this before he died and she wanted to continue doing it even if it wasn't enough to save the man's life, she had just finished and was about to leave when she heard something.

 

"she's dangerous" Bree knelt by his side to make sure she could hear him, for his voice was weak, "she's dangerous, don't believe a word she says"

 

Bree knew this man was a federal agent and that he was probably taking someone back to the US "Who?" she asked in a soft voice, the man reached for his pocket, he was taking out a piece of paper but before he could hand it to Bree he started coughing, suddenly blood started to pour out of his mouth and he fell limp.

 

Bree tried to feel a pulse but couldn't feel it, she grabbed the piece of paper and folded it, she was shocked of what she had seen, on the paper was a mug shot, Kate's mug shot, she quickly folded it up and placed it in her pocket.

Chloe woke up when she heard Clark going through her stuff, hey what are you doing?" she said softly as she was waking up.

 

Clark continued looking through her bags, "Sayid asked me to bring him your laptop; he is trying to build something to get us of this island"

 

Chloe got up to help him look, "now that I think of it, it's still has some power, maybe he can use it to power the radio thingy!"

 

"Eureka!" Clark shouted when he found it, he quickly began running down the beach in his now human speed.

 

--------Flash back------------

 

Clark and Chloe were on in the Metropolis international airport, “If this guy really is telling the truth, we might be able to shut down Luthorcorp for good” Chloe said cheerfully, “I don’t know, it seems to good to be true, he said he had proof Luthorcorp had been involved in a conspiracy and that he could prove it, but why have us fly all the way to Sydney?; and how did he know you worked in the daily planet” Chloe smiled “well, I guess it is suspicious; but that’s what I have you here for”.

 

----------------------------------

 

Lock approached Scott, “we need to hunt”, Scott didn’t understand what he meant and Lock realized this, “we are running out of food, we both know we’re not getting rescued until your friend here” he pointed towards Sayid who was breaking apart a laptop, “finishes whatever it is he’s making”

 

“Listen, I’ve told you, I’ve told everyone; it’s dangerous out there, beside the trips for water I don’t want anyone going in to the jungle” Scott was beginning to loose his patience, everyone was becoming desperate, they were already scared enough, he didn’t want them finding out the kind of creatures that were in the jungle, “We have no choice, food’s running low and the trees are running out of fruit, if we don’t send a small hunting party in to the jungle to hunt soon everyone will be going in there to look for food” Lock wasn’t ready to take a no for an answer, “How small will the hunting party be?” as much as Scott hated to admit it, Lock was right, “Just two should be enough if we find a big enough game” Scott remembered what they had seen yesterday, “there are wild boars in the jungle! Is that big enough?” Lock smiled and looked out at the beach camp, “then all I need is someone to come with me” he went of looking for someone he considered able for the job, “what are you going to hunt with!” Scott shouted but Lock didn’t turn around he just held up one hand and showed him a huge hunting knife.

 

---------------------------------------------

 

Clark had been was becoming inpatient, he was used to attacking the problem head on but for the first time in his life he was completely useless, he had lost his powers and now in a human body he didn’t dare try to be a hero, he was sure that in his current state he would end up messing everything up like he did while trying to save Chloe, he was walking up and down the beach when he thought he heard something, he was sure he had heard someone call out his name, not his earthling name but his other name, he was beginning to think he might have imagined it when he heard it again and this time he was sure of it, “Kal-el” a soft voice was speaking from behind a tree, he walked to the place where it had come from only to hear it once again but this time from deep inside the jungle, he ran to it as fast as his now human legs would allow, he kept running until he came to a clearing with a big stone boulder in the middle, he could still hear the voice calling him only this time it was different, it was whispering, as if it didn’t want to be found.

 

Clark walked up to the boulder, the voice seemed to be coming from inside, he began to walk around it until he found a shape carved in to the rock, a shape he knew very well, an octagon shaped hole was carved on to the boulder’s stone skin; waiting for the key to be placed on it, Clark knew this all to well and knew what he had to do, he remembered the whispers and realized they had stopped.

 

---------------------------------------

 

“Where are you going Sam?” Dean was angry, he was used to be the one telling Sam what to do but since the plane crash Sam had found better people to tell him what to do, “We’ve been here for four days and haven’t done anything to help out, I don’t know about you, but right know I’d do anything to help get us out of this place!” Dean knew what Sam was up to, that bald man had been asking for someone to help him hunt for boars a while ago and he had seen Sam talking to him, “what about that thing in the jungle, we have to either find a way to destroy it, or to avoid it!” Sam was actually happy to see his brother angry, for one thing it meant he was worried about him, but he wasn’t a boy anymore, he had fought his way out of many predicaments in the past and he was sure he could handle whatever the island had to offer.

 

------------------------------------------

 

Clark was back at the beach, he was looking through all of his and Chloe’s bags, he was sure he had brought the key to Australia with him, he could remember holding it in his hands the night before they boarded the plane, “what are you looking for this time?; my hair dryer?” Chloe joked, she was looking for someplace to sit next to Clark and the bags.

 

“The key!” he said still rummaging through the bags without looking up at her, “what key?” she was puzzled to see Clark so serious, “the key to the spaceship I came in, you know, the metal octagon!” he answered when he realized she was trying to help.

 

Chloe remembered the piece of strange metal, “when was the last time you saw it?”

 

 

---------Flash back----------

 

Clark was sitting next to Chloe on an airplane, “I can’t believe it, Lex must have known this man was about to betray him, I still can’t believe he was killed last night before we could reach him!” Clark was spinning a piece of shiny object between his fingers, “I told you it was to good to be true” Clark said while still playing with the metal octagon in his hands, “what are the possibilities of someone with knowledge of Luthorcorp’s skeletons wanting to come out and tell the truth without them knowing it?” he was still playing with the piece of metal when a man came running up the aisle followed by one of the flight attendants, the man bumped Clark on the shoulder causing him to drop the disc and the flight attendant kicked it and it rolled to the front of the plane, he was getting up to retrieve it when the plane started shaking and the seatbelt signs turned on, he didn’t pay much attention to this but as soon as he got up another flight attendant stepped in front of him trying to get him to return to his seat, he was about to argue with the flight attendant when the plane suddenly broke off and the flight attendant was sucked out of the plane, Clark quickly sat down and put his seatbelt on, making sure Chloe had done the same, but by the time he turned to face her she had already passed out.

 

-----------------------------------

 

“When was the last time you saw it?” Clark was silent for a while trying to remember, “I think it fell when the plane broke off!” he said it as if he wasn’t sure of it, but he remembered where it had been the last time he saw it.

 

Chloe looked at the fuselage then at the jungle, “then it could be anywhere” she said finally looking out in to the worst of their options, the sea.

 

-----------------------------------

 

Lock and Sam had been out hunting for a while but without any luck, the only thing they had caught so far were a couple of rabbits that Lock had killed, so far Sam had only been good for keeping him company.

 

The sun was beginning to set and they would soon have to return practically empty handed, they were already walking in closer to their camp when they saw what they had been looking for; a big warthog was rasping his tusks against a tree.

 

Lock circled around it so he would be down wind and the animal wouldn’t smell him, he jumped over the hog and pulled his arms around it’s neck trying to bring him down so Sam could finish him but was unable to hold him long enough, as soon as he let go of the hog Sam threw his knife at it and it went in like butter on the animals throat which walked a couple of steps then fell dead on the ground.

 

“Nice aiming!” Lock gave Sam a pat on the back which made Sam feel proud of his work, “now all we have to do is skin it, cut it and cook it” Lock finished, this time making Sam feel nauseous at the thought of skinning the animal.

 

That night people were celebrating, they had food, they had water, and Sayid was working on something to get them out of the island, their luck was definitely changing. Only a few people were in a silent mood, Clark was seating next to Chloe eating a piece of cooked meat, he was sure it wasn’t coincidence he was on that island, and he knew he couldn’t leave without opening whatever was in that boulder. Bree was seating opposite to Gaby and Carlos who for the first time in almost all their marriage were not arguing but instead were actually happy, the trouble was that she wasn’t she had been handed a terrible secret, so far Kate had been an incredible person she had come to admire, but know she wasn’t sure what to do, she knew that telling the rest who she really was should be the right thing to do, but she also knew that if they had made it this far it was because of her.

 

Dean was eating silently while watching Sam and Lock retell the story of their first hunting experience for the thousandth time, Marissa was looking at rogue and Charlie hugging and holding hands, she couldn’t help but remember when she had done the same thing with Ryan and how she would never be able to do it again.
