There’s a certain familiarity in their respective unshaved cheeks; partake in a silent mourning.
Jack is blindfolded. They must have run out of hoods.
“What’s up, doc?”
Jack flinches. He stops, knowing that somewhere, quite near, Kate must be watching. He wrenches loose, and runs.
“HALT!”
Jack doesn’t. Instinctually, he finds Sawyer’s hands between cold bars. He shakes it; Kate’s watching, she must be, and he knows, they both know.
“Shake it, damn you.”
“Want to impress your girlfriend, doc?”
Jack can’t see.
“No, dickhead.”
They both breathe in, breathe out.
“I want to make sure you’re alive.”
Sawyer shakes. Kate’s still watching; no gifts for her, yet.
