A Kate Spin Off
Letting Go Of The Fugitive Years
Episode 5

Kate’s heart skips a beat. No, it can’t be, she must be mistaken. But she’s not. It is Jacks car. Kate jumps out of her car and runs down toward the crash scene. A police officer stops her.
OFFICER – Sorry miss, but you’ll have to stay back.
KATE – Where is he? Where’s Jack?
OFFICER – Please get back.
A nurse comes over to Kate.
NURSE – You must be Kate, Jack’s girlfriend.
KATE – Yeah, where is he? Is he okay?
NURSE – We have to take him straight to theatre. You can come with us.
KATE – I um…I have the car. I’ll follow you up.
NURSE – Okay.
Kate runs back to the car, takes over the traffic and follows the ambulance to the hospital. All the way there she worries, this can’t be happening, not now.
She reaches the hospital and the nurse takes Jack out of the back of the ambulance on a bed and wheels him in. Kate gasps with shock when she sees him. He is covered in blood, his face scratched, yet peaceful as if he is sleeping. His leg is mangled and blood stained. One of the doctors comes over to her.
DOCTOR – Come with me, Miss Austin. I’ll take you to the relative’s room.
KATE – Is he gonna be okay?
DOCTOR – The surgeons will do everything they can.
KATE – Do you know him?
DOCTOR – Of course. Everyone in the hospital knows Jack. He is a fantastic doctor.
KATE – Yeah, he is.

Kate is sitting alone in the relative’s room. “He won’t die. The doctors know what they’re doing”. She is disturbed from her thoughts when Sawyer walks in. He comes and hugs her.
SAWYER – I’m sorry. I just heard what happened. How is he?
KATE – I don’t know. He looks in pretty bad shape.
SAWYER – Don’t worry. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Jump to Kate and Sawyer in the relative’s room. Sawyer is pacing up and down nervously, while Kate is sat, her head I her hands, with tears in her eyes. A doctor comes in.
KATE – How is he?
DOCTOR – The surgery went well, but he is still in a critical condition.
KATE – Can we see him?
DOCTOR – Follow me.

Flashback – Kate is at the caves, and Jack is tending to a wound on her arm.
JACK – What did you do?
KATE – I kind of fell from a tree when I was out picking fruit. Scratched my arm on the way down.
JACK – Well, it’s not too bad. You’ll survive.
KATE – Thanks.
JACK – You’re welcome.
KATE – I think someone will have to look after you once in a while.
JACK – You offering?
KATE – Why not?

Kate is sat in the hospital room next to Jacks bed, holding his hand, and crying.
KATE – I’m so sorry, Jack. You’re gonna be okay. I promise.
Sawyer comes in.
SAWYER – Hey Freckles. You okay?
KATE – I’ve been better.
SAWYER – You look shattered. Go home, I’ll stay here.
KATE – No. I need to be here.
SAWYER – Kate…
KATE – I can’t leave him.
SAWYER – If you stay here, you’ll be the one who’s ill from lack of sleep. Come on, I’ll drive you home.

Kate and Sawyer in Kate’s house. Sawyer is drinking some coffee when he spills it and it goes all over his pants.
SAWYER – Son of a…If there a place I can wash up.
KATE – Upstairs, door straight in front of you.
SAWYER – Thanks.
He rushes upstairs and wipes down his pants. He is just about to leave when he spots something in Kate’s bin. It’s a pregnancy test, and it’s positive.

Aww, Jessy...love reading back our eppys...I remember laughing so much at the coffee moment in this ^ one!

Anyway...Heres the next part!

THE BAD COP: PART 5

The seen opens with the group stood in Sawyer's kitchen. At the moment, Jack is trying to look at Sawyer's ear, he needs to check it is healing properly. But of course Sawyer is being a baby about it.
SAWYER: OW! What the hell are you doin'?
JACK: Taking out of the stitches!
BIANCA: Sit still!
SAWYER: You can talk...open your eyes!
BIANCA: NO, I don't like blood!
SAWYER: Wimp!
BIANCA: Look whose talking!
SAWYER: I recall someone being like this at one point, princess!
BIANCA: That was different you jackas-
JACK: -STOP! Sheesh...do you guys get along at all?
SAWYER: Of course we do...honey, could you go get some milk...we're out!
BIANCA: (Rolls Eyes) Of course...but I know you just don't want me to see you cry!
SAWYER: GOODBYE!
JACK: (Laughs) You were right...she's just like you.
SAWYER: Oh, don't I know it!

FLASHBACK
Sawyer is dragging Bianca by the arm into the police station. She's bleeding more than he thought but she has yet to notice it. She seems to be fighting against him, but Sawyer's a lot stronger, and taller so Bianca just stumbles behind him. Once inside he takes her to the first aid room, he places his hands on his waist and pops her onto a high bench.
BIANCA: Excuse you...no touching.
SAWYER: I was helping you...calm down, I'm not gonna hurt you I'm a cop.
BIANCA: Well, I figured that part out...but this (points to her cut) says otherwise!
The girl looks down at the cut and notices the blood. She goes a little pale so Sawyer places his hand on her shoulder.
SAWYER: Hey, hey...princess...you ok?
BIANCA: I...I, um...don't much like-
Bianca faints but thankfully Sawyer catches her. He smiles, this girl was really cute...fiesty but scared of blood. He shakes her gently but nothing works...she's out. Instead he reaches into a cupboard and pulls out some alcohol, placing a little on a tissue he applys it to the cut. She wakes up with a shirek.
BIANCA: Ow...what the- what d'ya think your doin' you jerk?
SAWYER: Fixing you...like I said I would.
He takes a large plaster from a first aid box and gently places it over the wound. Sawyer then elevates the arm and takes a closer look at it. He leans it close and gently kisses the plaster.
SAWYER: There, all better.
BIANCA: (giggles and blushes slightly) Thanks.
SAWYER: No problem, Sweetcheeks.
Bianca jumps down from the bench and lands exceptionally close to Sawyer, ther faces only inches apart. He smiles and brushes a strand of hair from her face.
SAWYER: how about dinner?
BIANCA: What...I barely-
SAWYER: Dinner, tonight...my house.
He hands her a card with his name (Lance Hatchette is scribbled out and Sawyer has been written over it) and address on. He smiles and then opens the door.
SAWYER: Eight-ish?
BIANCA: I'll think about it...Sawyer.
Sawyer smiles as he watches her leave. He totally hadn't expected her to come...so he'd ordered chiense take-out but he was surprised when at 20:15 his doorbell rang.
END FLASHBACK

Sawyer stood up to answer the door. Jack had finished tending to his ear anyway, and was now eating breakfast. Sawyer opend it to a beautiful young woman with shoulder length brown hair, and a huge smile.
WOMAN: Hi, I'm looking for Jack...I'm Kay, Kay Rekker.
JACK: Kay...you made it!
KAY: Hi honey (They kiss)
Sawyer coughs and looks at the two, at that moment Bianca returns carrying a bottle of milk.
BIANCA: oh...hi, you must be Kay...I'm Bianca, and this is Sawyer.
KAY: Nice to meet you.
BIANCA: Why are we all stood in the doorway? SAWYER...show our guests in!
SAWYER: After you...princess.
BIANCA: Don't you "princess" me mister...here take the milk!
Sawyer takes the milk but at the same time he shoves his hip into her so she stumbles into the wall. He smirks and then runs away. She laughs and follows.
BIANCA: You better run boy...coz that milk ain't gonna stay in that bottle forever.
KAY: I thought you said they were dating....
JACK: They are.

The phone rings and Bianca answers, she frowns and turns to Sawyer.
BIANCA: It's the cops...they "need" you.
SAWYER: What now...I'll get it in the other room.
KAY: This happen a lot?
BIANCA: All the time...Jack, you wanna switch the kettle on?
The three lean around the kitchen benches as they wait for both the kettle to boil and Sawyer to return. Eventually Kay speaks.
KAY: it's so kind of you to let us stay here...you have a great home!
BIANCA: Oh, thank you...and you're welcome (just then Sawyer re-enters the room) well?
SAWYER: False alarm.
BIANCA: Good...we need groceries (hands him list)
SAWYER: Woman...you are gonna be the death of me!
BIANCA: You love me really
SAWYER: You know it (They Kiss)
KAY: Hey can I come with you...I wanna get some gossip on Jack...
JACK: Hey!
SAWYER: Sure thang...I can tell ya a couple of stories.
BIANCA: Good, that means I can quiz Jack!
SAWYER: Be nice...later!
JACK: Later man!

Sawyer and Kay are in a food court, somewhere similar to Wal-mart, with a large trolly and are occasionally placing items in it.
KAY: So spill...what was Jack like on the island?
SAWYER: On the island?
KAY: Yeah, was he a good guy, bad guy..?
SAWYER: Good guy...most of the time anyway (laughs) we had the occasional fight...but no, Jack was our leader and sometimes savior...he's great.
KAY: You guys were'nt friend to begin with?
SAWYER: You could say that

FLASHBACK
JACK: Sawyer...give it!
SAWYER: Nice to see you too Doc, now what would I be giving?
JACK: The stuff...that you hoarded from everyone's suitcases!
SAWYER: And what makes you think that was me?
JACK: You seem like the type!
SAWYER: Really
The two men face each other in a fighting stance, before long Sawyer smirks.
SAWYER: Stuffs in the tent...take what ya need Doc!
END FLASHBACK

KAY: But you guys are friends now right?
SAWYER: Of course...we've been through too much not to be, and you and Jack...you're..?
KAY: We're good...real good!
SAWYER: I'm glad you've got one another.
KAY: Yeah...he won't admit it but he needs me...he still has nightmares from the island, mostly about some guy called Boone.
Sawyer looked sad. He remebered Boone...he was a good guy, maybe a bit of a try to hard. But good all the same, and he had one heck of a punch. Jack hadn't been able to save him, and as much as they'd told Jack it wasn't his fault, he'd still blamed himself.
SAWYER: Boone was a good guy, we'll miss him.
At this point there is silence between the two, until Sawyer's cell phone rings.
SAWYER: What?
DEPUTY: Sir...we've had a phone call.
SAWYER: AND?
DEPUTY: He threatened you!
SAWYER: Is that all? I told you...only contact me if it's serious!
DEPUTY: But-
SAWYER: GOODBYE!

Jack is sat at the table in the kitchen whilst Bianca runs around him making them coffee and something to eat. Jack smiles, how did Sawyer end up with a girl like this?
BIANCA: How you take your coffee Jack?
JACK: Black and strong thanks?
BIANCA: you have Italian blood?
JACK: (laughs)Nah...I just need the caffine.
Bianca hands JAck her coffe and then sits down. She smiles at him questioningly and he laughs.
JACK: Alright...what dy'a wanna know?
BIANCA: Was Sawyer as much of a jerk on the island as he is now?
JACK: (Laughs) Pretty much
BIANCA: Do tell...

FLASHBACK
SAWYER: Yo...Jackas-
JACK: -What do you want Sawyer?
SAWYER: I need my meds
JACK: Oh...sit down.
Sawyer does as he's told and watches Jack as he runs around putting together Sawyer's medicine and getting some fresh bandages.
SAWYER: So you guys kissed?
JACK: (Picking up the bottle he just dropped) What was that?
SAWYER: You and Kate...kissed?
JACK: Oh yeah...
SAWYER: S'cool...but I'm next!
Jack smiles at Sawyer but continues with his work. He injects the antibiotics and then begins to remove Sawyer's bandages, who flinches slightly with the pain but then contiues.
SAWYER: So...what was it like?
Jack rips the bandage off.
SAWYER: OW! You did that on purpose!
END FLASHBACK

BIANCA: He's a sweetheart really you know...though he'd never admit it.
JACK: Oh, I know. So...you guys are...
BIANCA: In love I guess...
JACK: Wow...I'll never understand...
BIANCA: Understand what?
JACK: How you fell for Sawyer...I mean...he never struck me as the "fall in love type." I mean...what exactly do you see in him!
BIANCA: You've seen him right? (JACK laughs) But no...like I said he's a sweetheart, he's tough, kind, sarcastic-
JACK: Oh yeah,
BIANCA: And besides...he'd do anything to protect me...
JACK : I'm the same with Kay.
BIANCA: It's weird how things work out isn't it?
JACK: What d'ya mean-
At this point a loud crashing noise can be heard from the back of the house. Jack and Bianca look at each other with fright, then she laughs.
BIANCA: Damn dog...next door's. It's always getting loose!
JACK: I'll go check it out...
BIANCA: Ok...be careful, it nips!

Kay and Sawyer are returning from the grocery store and are now walking up Sawyer's front drive towards his porch. Sawyer stops and gasps, the door is hanging off it's hindges and the window is smashed. He drops the bags and runs.
SAWYER: JACK....B?
JACK: In here!
Kay and Jack run towards the sound of his voice and enter the kitchen...or what's left of it. It's been smashed to pieces, as has Jack who is lying on the floor. Kay runs to him.
KAY: Baby...are you ok?
JACK: Fine...find Bianca.
SAWYER: B...Beachy...where are you (The panic rises in his voice) BIANCA...where are you?
He stops when he sees a note pinned to the wall. He rips it down and reads it slowly, the shock hit's him and he takes astep backwards. Jack places a hand on his shoulder.
SAWYER: (whispers) They've taken her?
JACK: What?
SAWYER: They've taken Bianca!

Aww, Jessy...love reading back our eppys...I remember laughing so much at the coffee moment in this ^ one!

Locke fires the bullet

DESTINY
PART 6

The bullet hits Jack in his stomach. A spot of blood appears on Jack's shirt and grows.

Locke: "I hoped it would never come to this"

Jack: "John, you son of a b1tch. That happened 9 years ago."

Locke: "Well, I only found out about it today. I guess not believing in destiny has come back to haunt you. Goodbye Jack."

Locke walks to his car, gets in, and drives off.

Minutes later a passer by sees Jack in his pool of blood.

Passer by: "Oh my god, ring an ambulance. Hello? Hello?"

Jack doesn't respond

Passer-by: "He's out cold. Get that ambulance!"

The ambulance arrives..

Doctor on ambulance: "We're going to need to get him to the hospital immediately. His wound's infected. Put him on life support..."

Other Doctor: "It's too late, HE'S DEAD"

Meanwhile, Locke drives down the road, eyes full of tears...

He sees an ambulance heading the other way and realises it must be Jack's...

Locke to himself: "Why did you do this to me? WHY?"

Locke smashes his rear-view mirror. He has become a broken man again...

Ok.. Here is my first episode again. I will post more later...

Jack: Your life in my hands, Episode 1.

Opening scene: Jack lying on a hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling, his eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep. He is in a daze. The ceiling slowly dissolves and we see (FLASHBACK) Kate. She is laid in Jacks arms...
"Kate just hang on honey, just hang on."
Jack rocks back and forth, pulling Kate’s hair which is drenched in her sweat and blood, away from her face. She tries to whisper something. Jack strains to hear...
"Jack I...I'm sorry...Jack I...I...."
"Shhhhh Kate- don't try to talk, you need to stay awake Kate...Kate...KATE (she slips into unconsciousness) KATE...DON'T YOU DO THAT, DON'T YOU GIVE UP...KATE....beep,beep,beep..Jacks bleeper goes off and flings him back to the present day. He jumps off the trolley from which he's been laying and runs out into the very hectic ER...

JACK: “Right what do we have?"
PARAMEDIC “We got a bad one here, young female, no ID, Appears to have broken arms left and right, open leg fracture left tib...She fell 20 feet head first from a building. Her GCS is 9, Eyes open to pain, some confused babbling at the scene but quiet now, she flexes to pain, equal breath sounds but intubated at the scene due to low pulse ox. Was 75 but now 98 on 100%. Witnesses say she jumped...
JACK:"Ok ok, ease her over, on my count 1...2...3 Christ she's a mess. Right I wanna get a head CT, we need to secure that open tib fracture, I can't feel a pulse in her foot. Abdomen feels soft, roll her...ok, back feels stable, no palpable fractures, X-ray the neck then we can get that head collar off. I want FBC's U& E's and dip a stick. Someone call the OR and tell them what we've got.
Where are we with the head CT?"
NURSE: “It’s free when you're ready Dr Shephard."
SHOW SCENE: Jack wheeling woman to the CT room. He is exhausted and suddenly overcome with nausea. He runs along the corridor and into the Gents where he vomits in the basin. He runs the cold tap and splashes his face several times then looks at himself in the mirror, following with his eyes a trail of water trickling down his face. The mirror fades out to
(FLASHBACK) Scene opens with Kate running away from something. The terror is all over her face. She is running through some dense trees when she disappears from shot, she has fallen over the edge of the rock face. She's hanging and the scene shows Jack below, he's screaming at her not to let go. Kate’s hands slip and she falls. Jacks screams and the sound of Kate thumping to the ground bring Jack out of his trance. He splashes his face again, a face etched with pain. He emerges from the gents and goes to the staff room to grab a coffee, His work colleague Fiona is in there.
FIONA:"Hey Jack,been a long time, how are you?"
JACK:"O you know...Kinda ok I guess."
FIONA: “You look tired. Are y...”
JACK INTERRUPTING:"Yeah well I’m not sleeping too well. But I’m fine Fiona. Honestly I’m just. No I’m fine."
FIONA: “Maybe you should talk to someone; you know I could put you in touch with a great.”
JACK: “What a shrink. I don't need a God damn shrink ok Fiona. I don't need anybody.”
Scene shows Jack storming off leaving a puzzled looking Fiona stood alone.
Scene closes and re-opens to Jack staring through the window of the CT room. The woman is strapped to the table and Jack can't help but notice how similar she is to Kate. He begins to cry.
"Kate I’m so sorry, I’m so so sorry...Oh Kate why, I’m so sorry."
The scene closes with Jack slumped against the wall sobbing uncontrollably, head in his hands...

COMING UP IN EPISODE 2: A blast from Jacks past comes into the ER and Catherine wakes up. *****

Jack: Your life in my hands. Episode 2

Opening scene: Jack's sitting beside the bed of the woman from the fall. She's out of the OR and currently in ICU. He watches as the vent pumps air into her chest, up, down, up, down. The only sounds that can be heard are the sounds of all the machines. Just then the door opens, in walks Nora. Jack smiles to himself. He likes Nora. Tiny woman from Zimbabwe in her late 50's with dyed bright red hair and little glasses perched on the edge of her nose...
NORA: "Hey sugar. You been here all night?"
JACK: "Uh, no...Well yeah actually. What time do you have?"
NORA: "Little after 5. You look like you could use some sleep, got yourself some hefty cases under those gorgeous eyes of yours. Why don't you get on home kiddo and I’ll see to Miss Catherine here."
JACK: "Catherine? But I thou. How do you know her name? She had no ID."
NORA: “Got the name from her necklace honey, so that's what I’m calling her till I know different. Now go on sugar, get yourself home to bed."
JACK:"I can't, I'm on in 2 hours. I'm gonna go grab a cup of coffee and freshen up. If she wakes bleep me, I'm on 55...”
NORA:"I got your number sugar, now go on, off you go."
Jack leaves the room.
Scene closes and re-opens to Jack sleeping. His face is twitching, eyes flickering wildly, he's dreaming..Kate’s hands slip and she falls. Jack screams as she thumps to the ground, her body all twisted and contorted. He stands static for a brief moment while his brain tries to register the horror he's just seen, then he flips into action...Jack jumps, he's awake...slowly he sits up and looks at the clock on the wall. It's 9:05; his shift started 2 hours ago. He goes to his locker, puts on some clean scrubs and gets ready to tackle the day.

The radio goes off in the ER...Nurse Page answers it. It's the paramedic crew.
"We are on route with a male, GSW to the head. ETA 5 minutes."
JACK: "Ok you guys-let's prep trauma room 3. I want everybody available in there and ready to go." (Paramedics arrive)
"Right we've got a 36 year old male. Shot in the side of the head. Was conscious and lucid at the scene but has since been out for 5 minutes. BP's 100 over 65, pulse 88.Bullet entered here above the ear, no exit wound. He's all yours."
Jack enters the room. He's in a daze. He realises he knows this guy. He has huge gauze around his head but he knows it's him. It’s Sawyer. As he looms over him, Jack notices he hasn't changed a bit. His hair's a little shorter but it's the same Sawyer. Just bloodied.

NURSE 1:"Pulse is weak and thready, heart rate up to 120, BP's down to 70 palp.
NURSE 2:"Type and cross match 4 units. He’s losing too much blood.”
JACK: “Get me a size 8 ET tube, come on, hurry up, we don't have time to waste."
DOCTOR: “Shall I start a central line?"
NURSE 2:"His BP's 70 over 50, pulse 120."
JACK: “Squeeze in 2 units, Where's that ET tube, I need to intubate him."
NURSE 1: "Pressures down to 60."
JACK: “He needs some volume. Come on. Squeeze it in faster."
NURSE 2:"He's losing it as fast as I can give it."
DOCTOR: “I’m losing his pulse. He’s going to arrest." Sawyers’ heart stops.
JACK: “Starting compressions,1.2..3..4..5, come on Sawyer,1..2..3..4..5,COME ON.."
NURSE 1: "Charging to 200...200 clear.” Nurse shocks Sawyer. Jack thumps his chest hard..
NURSE 1:"Charging to 300...300 clear."
JACK: “He’s got a rhythm. Right, get 2 more units of blood.Intubated, pulse and BP are stable. Bleep the OR, he needs to go up.
Scene cuts to sawyer being wheeled into the lift. Jack runs over and puts his foot in the door.
JACK: “I’m going to be in on the procedure."
NURSE: “Do you know this guy?"
JACK: "Yeah, his names Sawy..Actually, that's not his name at all, its James something or other."
NURSE: “Thought you knew him?"
JACK: “Long story. He’s not exactly a friend. Let’s just say we went through a traumatic experience together."
Scene cuts to Jack and Sawyer (FLASHBACK) Jack and Sawyer arguing.
SAWYER: “You should have saved her Jack."
JACK: “You think I don't know that, you think I haven't played it in my mind over and over again, you think.."
SAWYER: “Tell you what I think Doc. I think you like playing the hero. You think you're so God damn smart. Hell I coulda done a better job."
JACK: “Right so you could have saved her?"
SAWYER: "I wouldn't have quit!"
Sawyer walks away. Scene re-opens in the OR. Jack has located the bullet and is trying to stem the bleeding. He packs Sawyers head with swabs to soak up the blood. "The bullet took a clean path and seems to have missed major parts of the brain. If he can get through the next few days without getting an infection, and if his brain doesn't swell, he should be ok."
OR SURGEON: “You’ve done a good job Jack. His pressures are fine, heart rate is stable. I can take it from here. You look exhausted."
Jacks bleeper goes off. It's ICU
JACK: "Dr Shephard here."
NORA: "Hey sugar, Miss Catherine's awake. We are going to extubate."
JACK: “Hold on, I will be 5 minutes."...."Right I need to go to ICU. My patient from last week is waking up."
OR SURGEON 2:"Ok, I can close up."
JACK:"I want you to call me as soon as anything happens ok?"
Jack leaves the O.R.He cleans himself up and heads for ICU, he smiles to himself. If and when Sawyer wakes up, he wants to be there. Sawyer isn't going to be comfortable with his least favourite doctor saving his life. With that thought in mind he takes the stairs to see 'Catherine'. Life was on the up.

COMING UP IN EPISODE 3: Jack is being plagued by vision from the past. A patient comes into the ER who can not be treated and Jack collapses at work. *****
