Starlight · Charlie's Angel

I love it Jaci! Skate works great in that kind of story! And I love how you even found room for Locke. lol Was that the role that TOQ played on the show?

sawyersmine · Hollaback girl

Well thank you ladies. You are both very sweet. Lyndi, to answer your question, Terry O played Assistant Director Kendall, but he worked for the good guys in Alias, lol. So I switched things up a bit for this fict.

And Lisa, I took your advice. Going to try this out see how far I go with it. Heres chapter 2. ;)

Chapter 2

Las Vegas, Nevada

"Bluebird, we have our target Bluebird, do you read?"

Sawyer spoke into his walkie powered cuff links waiting in the lobby of the Wynn Casino

"Bluebird?" Sawyer hissed when he didnt get his response from his partner. Finally replying, Kate cleared her throat and remarked

"Yes I see him"

"Well?" Sawyer asked impatiently"Can you get his prints?"

Kate rolled her eyes from her post, coming out in a short short waitress skirt as she carried their targets Martini replacement

"Handing him his glass she winked back and replied"

"Your drink Mr. Carter"

"Oh sweetheart, please call me Malcolm" He smiled and put his hand on her smooth ass patting it. Kate tried not to scowl. From his position, Sawyer had to do everything he could to not pummel this ass hole right now. And Kate took his old glass with a smile, adding

"Anything you need Malcolm, just let me know." And she winked back at him as she leftHe took a sip from his drink the sedative in tow, as she took the old glass with his prints.

Bringing it back to Sawyer he hissed at her when she got to the supply closet

"You know your just askin for it when you let them grope you like that."

Kate scoffed. Her icy act even icier since she found out Sawyer was a double agent. He had pulled her into meet with Director Linus the next day barely even giving her a chance to exhale. She had to fill out about a hundred sheets of paper, pretty much guaranteeing that her ass belonged to the US government. The problem was, her ass belonged to John Locke too. The price he had on her head was too steep to give that all up. Since that night she couldnt sleep or eat much. Infact she had lost about 10 lbs.

Sawyer felt awful after it all. He knew Kate was a good person caught in a bad situation. He didnt know about the arrangement she had with Locke, but he knew she was taking it hard. So when she told him to 'get bent' for the 20,000th time that month, he let it slide. But there was a point when she was putting herself at risk by acting stupid too. He just didnt want to see her get hurt. Knowing hed already been sucked in by her charms. Luckily for him, she hated his guts, so he didnt have to worry about fucking things up too bad.

Kate finally replied to his earlier insinuation about giving the wrong signals to men and Kate remarked gruffly, laying the sarcasm on heavy

"Well it doesnt matter who gropes me, just as long as Im not in jail or dead right?"

Sawyer sighed closing his eyes; he tried to brush off her remarks, concentrating on getting the prints off the glass. He put it under an ultraviolet light that turned into a scanner. The scanner took the prints and sent the message to a special box filled with a wax lining. Sawyer inserted his finger and the wax melded to his hand with the new prints. And he looked back at Kate replying

"This aint easy for me either Freckles."

Kate rolled her eyes and stood up dropping the lead paperweight on his other hand and Sawyer scowled

"Ow! What did you do that for?" He asked angrily as they made their way to the finger pad. And Kate hissed angrily

"You know I could report you to Locke and hed have you taken care of in a nanosecondjust like that."

Sawyer snorted passing her up and he replied"Yeah I know sweetheart, but then youd have to live with my blood on your hands"

Sawyer went up to the keypad and it scanned his prints. The door clicking open for them and they stepped inside as Kate replied passing him up and heading for the Choral. And she replied snidely

"Dont fall under the assumption that the guilt would weigh that heavy on my conscience Sawyer!"

Sawyer glared back at her as she went for the goods.

Apparently this painting was a hot commodity on the black market, and even a hotter commodity for Kates boss, John Locke. Sawyer replied sarcastically

"Yeah loyal to a fault to a boss thats got you working one step above white collar criminalsYeah thats something to be proud of Freckles."

Kate looked back at Sawyer like she wanted to slug him. And she rolled up the painting slipping it in a metal air proof tube and slammed it against Sawyers chest when she was done.

Replying as she stood up in her heels

"Im going to take care of CarterDont wait up for me."

Kate replied with a sly smile as she left Sawyer standing there alone with the tube knowing that would get his blood boiling. Sawyer sighed angrily knowing Kate was going after the list, which would require entrance to Carters room. He worried about her safety. She put on a tough act, but when emotions were involved and he knew there were, Kate could be very vulnerable. Sawyer had been working with her for almost a month now and he had gotten to know her well. Well as well as can be expected when she hated his guts 95% of the time.

Still something made Sawyer keep going back. He felt personally responsible for her safety, knowing he got her into this mess of being a double agent, but also he felt responsible for her because he cared.

Sawyer slipped the tube into a suitcase in his room and got back downstairs just in time to see Kate with her arm weaved through a very drowsy or drunk as most would assume, looking Malcolm Carter. He saw his hand on her ass as they made their way to the elevators and Sawyer stood outside watching the floor numbers. As soon as it stopped he ran into the next elevator and followed it up.

He saw Carters bodyguards waiting outside his room and Sawyer sneered. Deciding to trick them he pretended he was hotel security replying

"You with Malcolm Carter?"

"Yeah." The guy with no neck answered. And he asked"Whats it to you Blondie?"

Sawyer tried to keep from rolling his eyes figuring this guy was using his IQ to maximum potential to come up with a nickname for him and he replied

"Oh nothing that cant wait till morningAfter all Mrs. Carter just stepped foot in the hotel lobby 5 minutes ago and is planning on surprising her husbandBut if you want I can go down there right now and show her up here personally."

Sawyer smiled back at Tweedle Dee, and then Tweedle Dumb looked back at his partner and huffed

"We better warn Mr. C."

Sawyer raised his brows and turned around, replying"Enjoy the rest of your stay at the Wynn!"

And then the two men argued
"You wanna tell him?"

"No you, youre the one who had to ask!"

Rolling his eyes as he walked down the hall Sawyer waited in the ice machine room for the commotion and 5 minutes later he heard soft footsteps coming closer. Catching a flash of that familiar brown mane, Sawyer caught Kates arm as she passed by, almost getting an elbow to his face in the process but he blocked her

"Jesus Freckles!" He had his hands on her elbows as she was pressed against his body, the spark relit as he was backed against the ice machine and Kate looked back at him exclaiming frustratedly

"What the hell are you doing Sawyer?"

He felt that spell she cast over him. The spell that made his tongue go slack and eyes haze up. And Kate met his gaze. And Sawyer shook his head trying to shake it off

"I was tryin to help you darlin."

Kate sighed and threw her arms up

"I can take care of myself!"

She took out the black book she got from Carter, the one with all the addresses of black market art dealers and waved it in front of Sawyers face.

"See!"

And then Sawyer noticed the bruise on Kates arm and he grew angry, thinking that ass hole Carter was rough handing her and he held up her wrist showing her what he saw.

"Yeah, and I can take care of some things myself too."

Sawyer marched back down the hall towards Carters room and opened the door, not really surprised those two idiots left it wide open, their boss was passed out on his bed, the sedative clearly taking effect, but Sawyer didnt give a shit. He took the empty glass of vodka on the night stand and tossed it in his face waking the man up. Seeing Carters drugged up red face as he opened his eyes was all the response he needed, as he balled up his fist and broke the mans nose.

Kate gasped as Sawyer threatened him

"You son of a bitch!"

"Sawyer!" Kate exclaimed surprised at his reaction.

"What the fuck?" Carter had his hand up to his bloody nose and Sawyer slammed his fist into his balls leaving the man quite handicapped and red faced in pain and he replied

"I dont care if youre a whale, lay one finger on my staff again Carter and well be seein you in court!"

Sawyer tried to play alone with the hotel Sawyer to not give up his and Kates identities and then he took her hand and pulled her along with him to the elevators.

They got inside and Kate looked back at him incredulously asking him

"Are you insane?"

Sawyer looked back at her angrily and he replied pushing the button to their floor. He shook his head and replied

"Yeah Freckles, Im as crazy as they come, must be the reason I agreed to do this in the first place."

He replied frustratedly realizing where these spontaneous outbursts were coming from and he hated it. He jammed his hand onto the elevator button again wanting it to hurry. He had to get the fuck away from Kate and get away from her now. She was just staring at him with those big green doe eyes of hers, and he fucking hated it.

"Cmon." Sawyer muttered wanting the doors to open now! "Cmon cmon." he continued impatiently as he heard Kates voice from behind him

"Sawyer?" She asked as he turned around hesitantly to face her, and before he could even turn fully, he felt her lips smash against his. His back hit the side of the elevator and Kate panted into his mouth.

'Oh fuck' Sawyer thought feeling his insides boil to the surface. Taking her kiss, he knew he was a goner, their tongues thrashing. Forces of nature couldnt get between them right now as he rammed her back into her side of the elevator his hand on her jaw as he kissed her. And Kate moaned into his mouth. Sawyer felt a pressure in his loins region and he panted and looked into Kates eyes as the elevator dinged open. Both of them shaken out of their haze, they looked into each others eyes not knowing what the other was thinking right now.

Chapter 3

Kate met Sawyers gaze a hunger in her eyes as he hung over her for a moment. She knew it was most likely lust but something about him, she found irresistible, like a moth to a flame, and all the sudden she felt her need for him outweigh any common sense left lingering in her mind.

The door was about to close again and as she clutched him and he her, Kate pushed the door open button and she finally replied with heavy breath

"Lets go to your room."

Kate looked up into his dark blue green eyes with longing and Sawyer stood there his body about to betray him and he asked her for confirmation

"You sure?"

Kate nodded and she sealed her answer with a burning kiss. His lips electrified by hers, he kissed her back, his arousal fighting to push through.

Sawyer dipped his tongue into Kates mouth tasting her sweetness and she moaned her voice filled with passion as he turned her on..

"Now Sawyer!"

That was all the encouragement Sawyer needed, his lips finally breaking free as he looked into her eyes hazily and took her hand. His other digging around in his pocket for a key card, finally arriving at his room, he jammed the card in the door.

The next few moments a blur as they unlocked the darkened room and danced around the furniture. His hands framed her face as Sawyer backed Kate into a wall and kissed her heatedly.

He was so overcome with infatuation he didnt know where to start. He only knew that he had to have her. His sex drive going 500 miles a minute right now, Sawyer was fit to be tied up by Kate.

He found the hem of her top and lifted it off over her head in a grunt. His lips crashing back down on hers as his large hands scaled her sides. Kate felt a thousand tiny electrical currents run through her as he touched her and she pulled at his belt buckle unclasping his pants.

Sawyer groaned as her hand reached down into his boxers feeling and holding his aching hardness. His hand on her panty covered ass, fingers folding into her crotch as they kissed again.

Fuck, she felt good. He tried to hang onto the shred of sanity Sawyer had left asking her as his lips brushed her cheek brashly

"You need me to wear protection?"

Kates cheeks were flushed not really caring one way or the other right now, but she wasnt on the pill and finally nodded the last of her sanity gone out the window as his large hands slid her panties down. And Kate felt the cool air between her already moist thighs.

She pushed him down on the bed, his dick springing out of his unzipped pants and she surprised Sawyer by yanking them down around his ankles.

Sawyer felt a surge run through him as he reached for his wallet on the nightstand pulling out a condom. Handing it to Kate with a smirk, he had a feeling there was a minx hiding behind that innocent little lamb costume and he asked her huskily

"Wanna do the honors Freckles?"

Kate secretly loving that he called her that and smiled as he handed her the foil wrapped condom, knowing Sawyer probably had bedded tons of women, and it was obvious he was good at it, she could tell just by the foreplay and the length of his arousal alone made her shiver with anticipation.

Licking her lips hungrily as she ripped it open and looked back into his eyes bewitchingly. Kate placed the condom on the tip of his head and then she sucked it back, using her mouth to glide the condom over his hardness.

Sawyer groaned his eyes rolling back in his head as her warm mouth took him inside her, and all the sudden he felt a fire burn inside him.

His eyes opening now with a new desire. She was like no other woman hed been with. Not even thinking about Emily once Kate backed away and straddled his hips with her legs. Her sweet little pussy looming over him peeking out from under that short short skirt of hers, until finally she sunk down on him. His hard heavy dick parting her folds and they both groaned in unison.

Sawyer lifted her up off him and he sunk in again, allowing her to adjust to his size, she was so fucking tight. And then he sat up and bit down on her bra covered right breast.

Her nipples were showing through the flimsy fabric and Sawyer made the silky material wet with his hot mouth. Kate moaned tossing her head back in pleasure as her nipples turned hard and she reached around to her back to unsnap it. Wanting Sawyer to have more access to her aching breast but he stopped her with his hands and replied with a smirk..

"Allow me sugar."

His strong fingers reached in-between the delicate front of her bra, held together by a pretty pink bow and he tore it down.

Kate gasped as her breasts were both freed from her confines at the same time and then he put his mouth on her sensitive peaks, and Kate moaned in pleasure. God, she didnt know what he was doing to her, no one had ever made her body feel like this before, she responded to him as if he played her like a finely tuned instrument. And he was an artist.

His fingers traveling down to her damp folds as he remained erect and full inside her. And then he played with her clit. Kate wanted him to fuck her goddamit, this foreplay was torture, if she could even call it that, and she tried to rise up on her knees and get the ball rolling as she sank down over him, but he kept going with his hand, and so did she, too stubborn to quit, finally succumbing to the pressure she spilled all over him. And Kate gasped weakly.

Sawyer just smirked back at her moving his hand up to cup the space between her jaw and neck and he kissed her passionately.

"who are you?" Kate asked him amazed with a drugged smile looking into his soulful blue eyes. She had never met anyone like him. He was so, intoxicating, so sexy, so complex...A double agent working for the good guys, who lived to be a pain in her ass, he was a true player but he was married before? Sawyer kissed her mouth again silencing her question and he looked into Kates eyes,
pushing her down on her back, the answer in his look, as he gave her a sexy smirk, holding her arms down above her head and then he began to thrust.

And Kate forgot all about what she had asked him. His hardness bringing her over the edge. And she cried in pleasure, her skirt hiking up around her waist as she came to climax again.

They made love so many times that night Kate lost count. It was like he unleashed the demon inside of her and she was wild and free and untamed.

In the young hours of dawn, Kate woke up to find herself sleeping in the big bed, buried in a cocoon of feather down blankets and sheets. Her head resting on a plush pillow, and the first thing she smelled was coffee. It smelled heavenly, she smiled feeling like she just had the best sex of her life, and she did. And then she stretched. A voice interrupting her lingering thoughts replied carrying over a tray of food...

"Wasnt sure if you were a waffle or egg person so I got both."

Kate smiled up feeling like a little kid on Christmas morning as he lifted the silver lids setting the tray next to her on the bed. And Kate asked him with a bright smile tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she pulled the blanket closer to her for warmth.

"You ordered room service?"

Sawyer smiled his dimpled smile and he replied with a smirk, swiping a sausage....

"Yeah, figured you'd be hungry after last night."

His dimples deepened and Kate sat up and took some of the silverware and replied looking back at the very wonderful delicious looking food...

"You figured right."

She smiled and stabbed a strawberry about to take a bite when she realized she hadnt thanked him and she lowered the fork and replied with a sweet smile, her voice sincere...

"Thank you Sawyer, this looks wonderful."

Kate smiled and kissed him lightly his warm lips caught hers again as she pulled away drawing her in once more and they kissed like that a few more times. Sawyer finally pulled away and sat back taking his cup of coffee, he replied after Kate took her first bits...

"Your welcome...and my name is James by the way."

Kate stopped eating and looked back at him curiously her brows creased in confusion and Sawyer explained...

"James Ford actually...Sawyer's just an Alias...so they cant trace me back to the good guys."

He was leaving some of the details out, some pretty important details, that might make her change her mind about him, but Sawyer felt some sort of a kinship with this woman. Something, a spark, or he didnt know, but he felt like he couldnt lie to her.

Kate swallowed slowly taking her time with her thoughts as she pushed her food around on her plate and she asked him

"So do you think when this is all over, you'll just go back to work for them?"

He couldnt believe she asked that question. Of all questions and Sawyer answered of course, truthfully replying...

"No Im hoping Ill be able to retire after this, the fast paced life catches up with you real fast and if you aint careful, could turn around tomorrow and wonder where the hell your life went."

Kate looked back at him sadly, his words tugging at her heartstrings. She knew how that felt too. Wishing she could get out, that she could be freed from her gilded cage. And Kate nodded looking down at her lap for a moment in silence.

Sawyer saw her pause and he wanted to cheer her up, remarking...

"Hey we aint gonna even be able to move from this bed if you dont eat your breakfast Freckles."

Kate looked up at him with a small smile. Feeling like a little girl, vulnerable all the sudden and she nodded in reply. Taking a bite of her waffles.

Sawyer smiled happy she was eating and he took a forkful of the omelet raising his brows as he ate...and he asked her charmingly...

"So what do you say, one more time for the road?"

Smirking Kate couldnt help but laugh tossing her head back she looked at him and replied...

"Your impossible!"

And they shared a look of promise and wakening desire as breakfast was finished and a little morning delight ensued.
-----------------------------------------------
Later that afternoon, Sawyer drove Kate back to the office and he replied happily giving her a kiss as she got out and he went to go park...

"Ill see you inside.."

Kate smiled and kissed him on the lips quickly replying quietly so only he could hear

"Not if I see you first James."

Sawyer smiled back at her as she turned from him, and he watched her walk away. It was nice to hear her use his name. For some reason coming from Kate, that meant something to him.

That hot little confident walk she had, with a hint of tomboy, and dash of mystery didnt hurt either. And he smirked thinking she was the cutest thing since Bambi.

Kate got inside, through all her security clearance points, and her high heels clicked. There was a spring in her step as she walked and her co-workers couldnt help but notice.

"So, how did it go with Fabio this weekend?"

Kates friend Claire who did data analysis asked and Kate smiled with a blush.

"That good huh?"

Kate shook her head not wanting to give too much away and she replied

"Claire, you know me, of all people am I the type of person to jump into a relationship with a guy like that?"

Kate thought about her behavior, thinking she never did things like she did last night. Sleep with a man she hardly knew, and she liked it too. It wasnt like her other relationships, he was different, and Kate wasnt sure if that was good or bad yet, but she couldnt wait to see him again, the smile on her face proving to Claire beyond a doubt that something happened and Claire finally replied

"Well its true, you are very careful, but when a hot guy shows up on your doorstep"

Claires smile wavered and she looked back at Director Lockes office and finally replied more warningly

"Speaking of guys, your ex just showed up this morning. Looks like hes back now."

All the hairs on Kates neck went up as she heard Claire and she asked alarmed

"What? Jacks back?"

Kate felt her heart beating heavy in panic, wondering if hed know. God how could she be so stupid as to sleep with Sawyer last night. Kate could have kicked herself. Sure enough she looked over at Lockes office and saw Jack standing there talking to him.

Of course just about that time Sawyer showed up all smiles and he came over to Kate and he asked her trying to remain professional, but also show her that he was thinking about her and he took her hand and asked her softly

"How about we go out tonight? For dinner or something?"

Kate smiled apprehensively, god why did Jack have to come back now? She thought frustrated and Sawyer awaited her answer.

Kate didnt know what to say, how was she going to explain this to Jack, they didnt exactly have any closure, and his transfer was her fault she had messed up the mission and he took the fall. Kate took Sawyers hand, still feeling closeness to him, she wanted to be tender and she replied slowly

"Sawyer"

But before Kate could say anything more a familiar voice from behind broke her thoughts and gave her a feeling of panic.

"Hello Kate!"

Kate turned around and swallowed to face Jack, nervously and Jack replied with a cool smile

"So I see you have a new partner!" He looked over to Sawyer and held out his hand ready to shake it

Sawyer leerily shook it and he replied"Yeah, Im Sawyer."

"Nice to meet you." Jack replied acting sincere, his handgrip firm and Sawyer looked down at their hands, thinking something was off about this guy.

"I assume I wont need any introductions." Jack announced looking back from Kate to Sawyer.

Noting the arrogance in his voice, Sawyer realized he hated the Jackass already and he replied dryly, aware of Kates history with this man

"Yeah, Im sure the pleasures all mine."

He remarked sarcastically. Looking back at Kate, he saw the worry and hesitation in her face and he raised his brows asking her wanting to get her out of this mess

"Freckles, you wanna go over the data in that book?"

Kate looked back at Sawyer her eyes telling him she was battling a war with herself right now, looking back at Jack, she figured if she could just make things right with him, this would all blow over. She knew hers and Sawyers work was important, but the pit of rocks in her stomach said she needed to do this first

"Did you just call her Freckles?" Jack asked with a chuckle and he replied"What, is that your new handle Kate?

Kate looked back at Jack irritated but she had to handle this before it got worse, and she replied to Sawyer

"Ill catch up with you in a little bit Sawyer, okay?"
Sawyer met her gaze the hurt apparent in his eyes and he replied.. "Dont worry about it Freckles, I got your back. Take your time."

Kate met Sawyers gaze regretfully and she tried to shake her head to signal to him that it wasnt personal; she wasnt rejecting him, but god, in her mind she knew that she was. Resenting this position she had been put in. And she decided just to let things play out, the way she always had.

He met Jacks gaze challengingly and he picked up his briefcase going into the other room. Holding in his anger.

Once Sawyer left, Kate looked back at Jack and sighed, asking him weakly trying to change the subject

"So how was DC?"

But Jack cut to the chase, pulling Kate over into the conference room and he asked her noticing the looks she gave the new guy.

"Did you sleep with him?"

Kates face turned beet red as she met Jacks gaze incredulously and she asked him choking out a reply

"What???"

"You heard me Kate."

Jack replied angrily and he replied as Kate started to shake her head
"No!" She answered angrily. Hating the way he was treating her right now. He wasnt like this before. Not liking this side of Jack.

Jack was angry that he had been replaced so quickly despite Kates claims and he replied

"After all I did for you, after all I sacrificedthis is how you re-pay me? They treated me like an ammature there! I had to work under probation! I took the fall for you!"

Kate was almost near tears, but she didnt want to cry, not here not at work, and she pleaded with him for forgiveness feeling a wave of guilt for what went down before

"Im sorry Jack, II never meant for"

Jack shook his head. And replied,"Just forget it Kate!"

He sighed and exhaled trying to calm himself and he finally replied looking back at her

"Look if you say you didnt sleep with him, I believe youLets just try to forget about all of thisWhy dont we go out for dinner tonight?"

Kate looked back at Jack apprehensively the look on her face saying she doubted him and he asked her with brows raised

"What? Is that not going to work for you?" Jack asked his voice somehow menacing to her and Kate replied dryly feeling sad and depressed all of the sudden

"No..no Jack its fine, tonight is fine." She looked back at him almost like a child who had just been bullied into giving away her lunch money and Kate replied with a sigh.

"Not everything is about you you know."

Kate remarked defiantly as she went off to go find Sawyer and regretfully tell him that dinner wouldnt work tonight. Although for some reason she felt worse now for breaking her date with Sawyers than she initially did for betraying Jack. Hating that she was put in the middle again, Kate closed her eyes and made her way to the other room.

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

When they got off work, Sawyer needed to blow off some steam. After Kate pretty much told him to go take a number, it was obvious she was going out with her old partner. That asshole. He sneered in jealousy. Hating all of this. Wishing there was a way out. He didnt want to do this anymore. He was getting too close to her and her rejection hurt a hell of a lot more than it should have. So he headed to the gym to put in a few rounds with his best pal the punching bag. Sighing he knew hed have to take in his findings to the CIA and Sawyer finally packed up his things, and looked over his shoulder as he exited the gym. Careful not to run into anyone he knew. Throwing on a baseball cap and he heard his phone ring.

It was the director of the CIA calling him personally and Sawyer answered

"Yeah Sawyer here."

The voice on the other end was one that was familiar to him and he replied"I dont know why you insist on being called thatbut we need to know that you got the real painting and the book of dealers."

Sawyer nodded and replied

"Yeah, I got it.."

"And you replaced it with the replicas?"

Sawyer sighed frustratedly hating the 20 questions act and he replied

"Of course I replaced the painting, what do you think I am, an ammature?"

Sawyer rolled his eyes, thinking he had to get off this line. He didnt like taking work calls out in the open and Sawyer finally replied

"I gotta go ChiefYoull get your presents tomorrow."

Ben finally replied"Fine James, but dont toy with us, you know how important this is, for both of our sakes."

And Sawyer replied rolling his eyes
"Yeah, I know."

"See ya tomorrow."

And he clicked off his phone and then got in his truck heading home.
------------------------
It was about an hour before his date with Kate, and Jack stepped out of the shadows outside the gym where Sawyer had just left. And he clicked open his razor making a phone call of his own and Jack called his accomplice

"Yeah, Locke, this is agent SheppardLooks like we have a double agent among our ranks."

Starlight · Charlie's Angel

Great job Jaci! I can't wait to see what happens next! Keep it coming.

sawyersmine · Hollaback girl

Thank you ladies, Im glad you are enjoying thus far. My problem is I have so many twists in my head, I dont know when to stop. Maybe I should try out writing for soaps, lol. Okee, anyhow, without further adieu, I give you...

Chapter 4

Kate was dressed in heels and had her hair done up in a perfect twist. She was fidgeting with her hands nervously as she waited for Jack at the restaurant. She dug around in her purse for a tube of nude lipstick to freshen up, when she saw the vial of elixir from the other night. The very elixir she used on Carter and she had a flash. Sawyers lips on hers and his naked perfect golden sun kissed chest pressing against her hard nipples as they made hot sexy passionate love.

Kates face colored in a blush and her thighs warmed just thinking about it. Her brows creased, feeling horrible about being here right now, and not with James. No. She wasnt going to do this anymore, Kate thought. She felt something for Sawyer. Despite the fact that he was a double and things were very complicated, she didnt want to cast all that aside for Jack.

Kate was just about to call Sawyer and ask him if he wouldnt mind her stopping by later tonight once she was done talking to Jack, when her phone rang before she could dial his number. And Kate saw that it was Jack. Her voice disappointed, Kate answered flatly

"Hi Jack."

"Hi Kate." Jack answered and he replied"Listen, Im running a little late, got caught up on something at work, can we take a rain check?"

Kate couldnt hide the small smile that covered her face and she replied, all the sudden feeling much better

"Sure, of courseIll see you at work tomorrow then."

Kate smiled and thought maybe she could still make the most out of this evening too, and she put down some money for the glass of wine she was nursing and then she left. She had just been jerked around before by so many men. Even her own father had lied to her for 18 years of her life. Kate had a hard time trusting men. But for some reason, when she was with James, she felt like she could trust him. She could be herself. Not like when she was with Jack, always trying to be on her best behavior.

Jack looked back at the bloody nosed Sawyer and smiled. He replied

"Looks like well have to rescheduleShell be there for me though, shell always be there, if I called her back and asked, shed probably be waiting for me in my bed too."

Jack smiled smugly back at Sawyer. And Sawyer cast him the death glare.

He tried to struggle but the two agents Jack had holding him back made that hard to do. And he looked back at Jack through his seethingly dark blue livid eyes, and replied

"Keep actin like a dickhead Jackass, maybe youll turn into one!"

Jack kicked him hard in the face and Sawyer thought hed seen stars.

"That all you got Nancy?" Sawyer asked ready for more. He could take this fucker lying down and tied up, he just needed to lose the bobsy twins.

And then all the sudden a woman came in and Jacks face relaxed into a smile when he saw her. Smiling back at Sawyer, as the two men lifted him up and strapped him down onto a table he replied

"Meet Agent Rousseau, she specializes in interrogation, and I must say, shes pretty good."

Rousseau smiled back at Sawyer and replied

"Hello Agent Sawyer, its a pleasure to meet you." She spoke in a thick Russian accent and Sawyer replied sarcastically

"Oh the pleasure is all mine, trust me."

She smiled wickedly and patted his shoulder, the one that had been torn through with a bullet and Rousseau replied

"I believe, what do you Americans say? Oh yes, I think this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Sawyer rolled his eyes and simply replied

"Fuck you."

"Shut the fuck up Sawyer, if you want to get out of this alive tonight, your going to play the game by my rules." Jack chimed in and then Danielle held her hand up and replied

"Ill handle this Agent Sheppard."

Jack rolled his beady brown eyes and looked back at Sawyer with contempt.

"Fine, Ill get the lie detector set up."

"Yes, this is an interesting lie detector Agent Sawyer." Danielle explained with a smile"You see, if we like your answer, you will avoid being shocked by the electro magnets."

Danielle explained

"But if we do not like your answer, or it has been proven that you are lying to us, the shocks will become more severe, possibly resulting in permanent brain damageand if I turn the power on to maximum capacity, consider it far worse than any prisoner on death row would ever have experienced."

Sawyer chuckled and replied, "Well then, when you put it that way Natasha, lets get this party started."

Danielle smirked and she began to fire up the electromagnet machine. And she replied

"As you wish."

Jack muttered under his breath growing more agitated by every passing minute

"You stupid son of a bitch."

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

Kate pulled the pin out of her hair and clicked on the radio in her car. Smiling all the way, she felt giddy with excitement. Hoping he wouldnt be too terribly put off by her earlier behavior this afternoon. Kate would try to make it up to him if she could. Stopping by a Thai restaurant, she ordered takeout for two, in a gesture of a peace offering.

About 30 minutes later she had pulled up outside Sawyers house. That spring back in her step. She carried the food along with her purse, planning to jump into his arms and kiss him when he opened the door, when Kate approached the front doorway and she saw that the door was slightly ajar.

All the sudden Kate grew worried, feeling like something had gone wrong. She swallowed as she opened the door and called his name

"Sawyer? Sawyer are you in here?"

Kate waited for a response and then she stepped in. She had never been inside his house, but Kate was pretty sure Sawyer didnt keep it this messy and she called his name again

"Sawyer?"

It was as if he left in a hurry or someone else was here? Kate looked around and flipped through his papers. She thought it odd that he had no pictures of anyone.

Kates heart nearly stopped when she came around the corner in the main hallway and saw the spattered blood against the wall. Dropping the bag of food in her shaking hand. She began to tremble suspecting that she would come up to Sawyers dead massacred body any minute. Something had gone terribly wrong.

Kates heart started pounding nervously as she looked around frantically for clues, or perhaps a body? She thought maybe if she got to him in time they could save him. But who? Oh god, James! She prayed for something anything as Kate waded through the debris that must have fallen on the floor in the struggle. But there was nothing. Not one damn clue. Kate thought frustratedly. She had to see him for herself, with her own eyes, if only to...Kates thoughts trailed off as a light went off in her head.

And Kate gasped as the realization hit her. Jack said he had to work late tonight; something was going on at the office. They must have taken Sawyer, his identity must have been leaked, but by who?

"Shit." Kate exclaimed raspy as she realized she had to take action and take action now. If they had Sawyer and knew he was a double, theres no telling what they would do. She panicked closing all the doors and turning off the lights, for his protection as well as hers, as Kate hurried back to the office...

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

"Tell us who you work for!" Jack demanded elbowing Sawyer again in the face, his eyes bruised, nose broken, lip bloodied, but Sawyer just smiled and replied in a tired slur...

"The Easter bunny you monkeysass limpdick motherfucker!"

He still had his tongue apparently.

"Turn it up!" Jack shouted at Danielle and he met Sawyers gaze with fiery eyes. Danielle simply replied...

"If we do this for much longer Agent Sheppard, he will be of no use to us."

It was clear Sawyers body was suffering from the electricity that had been channeled through his body.

"I dont care." Jack hissed replying in a yell..."Turn it up!"

And then Sawyer felt the surges run through him again, it felt like his insides were frying out, and as hard as he tried to hold it in, he couldnt help but scream.

Danielle looked down at him with closed eyes knowing this was the end and she looked back at Jack, and replied...

"One more question is all he has agent Sheppard, so you better make it a good one."

Jack huffed and he moved his hand to grip Sawyers jaw in a chokehold, forcing him to look at him and Jack asked him sneeringly...

"Who here among us knows that youre a double? Does Kate know? Is anyone else working with you?"

Sawyer closed his eyes for fear that they would tell the truth, although he had enough experience with a lie detector to know how to manipulate his bodies natural responses and Sawyer finally shook his head...

"No....no one knows but me...Im alone in this."

Jack looked back at the lie detector to judge his response, and the results showed beyond reasonable doubt that he was telling the truth. And Jack sneered angrily thinking this ass hole this double tried to take his place, hating him all the more for befriending Kate. Jack finally looked back at Danielle he nodded and replied...

"Do it...finish him off."

Danielle nodded and finally replied..."As you wish Agent Sheppard."

She moved to turn the power back on to maximum voltage, and smiled faintly when his screams filled the room.

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

Kate had thought up an alibi incase she was stopped and questioned, prepared to do anything to distract them from guarding Sawyer. And she slipped in through the back entrance to the holding facility. It was so quiet, eerily so, Kates hair stood on end as she moved within the holding facility.

She saw one of their guards come around the corner and Kate smiled at him replying...

"Hi Mike."

"Evening Agent Austen." Michael replied and Kate explained..."I hear theres a new prisoner."

Mike answered with a smile and nod and gestured to the back area...

"Yeah, although dont know how much longer they'll want him for...Director was in here a little bit ago and he said he'd let me know when I needed to bring a body bag in for cleanup."

Kates eyes widened in fear, trying to stifle her reaction and the tears that were threatening to break through she nodded and replied...

"Yes, well id like to see him nonetheless...I have a message I need to give him."

Mike smiled back at her knowing what she meant; poor bastard sure didnt know who he was messing with coming in here and trying to screw with these folks. Nope he certainly didnt.

"Well...Dont let me stand in your way...by all means...have a nice chat Agent Austen."

"Thanks Mike." Kate replied her eyes crinkling falsely as she walked past him, her face fell in worry. She promised herself she wouldnt cry though. He was just trying to do the right thing, do good and restore justice, and now...

Kate entered the code to the maximum security quadrant, walking down the row of glass covered cells searching for him, when finally at the very end, she saw him, and his body crumpled against the corner wall.

"Sawyer!" She gasped.

Kate quickly entered the combination to the keypad and flew into his cell. She went down to her knees and put her hands on his chest and face, feeling for a pulse. Closing her eyes in relief when she felt the soft rise and fall of his chest, and then she heard a groaning. Her voice shaky she whispered his name...

"Sawyer? Sawyer can you hear me? James?" Kates voice barely audible so the microphones wouldnt pick up their conversation as she touched his face. She could see the stains of blood through his shirt, he was bandaged, but the bandages were all soaked through.

"James?" Kate whispered a little louder. And then Sawyers eyes began to flutter as she waited with held breath. Until finally his eyes opened and he looked back at her, his skin covered in dirt and blood, but his eyes shined through.

"Kate." He looked back at her weakly, and Kate couldnt help it. Seeing him like this did crazy things to her insides. Crazy dangerous things, and one tear streamed down followed by another. And Sawyer creased his brows, and Kate asked him stubbornly before he could speak...

"You had to go and get yourself caught, why?"

Sawyer looked back at her sorely trying to shift so he wasnt slouched and before he could answer, Kate had her arms around him strangling him in a bear hug.

"Oh James...I thought I lost you..." Kate cried her voice muffled by his bloody shirt and her soft sobs and she pleaded...."Please dont ever do that again."

"Do what? Go out for takeout?" Sawyer replied confused not knowing what he did to tip these fuckers off, and he looked back at her with a sigh. His eyes swollen and bruised, but also reaching out to her.

Kate put her hand on his face and kissed his lips lightly. Just thankful he was alive, he was here with her. He was alive. And she met his gaze with creased brow confessing

"I knew theyd bring you herewe dont have much time."

Sawyer gazed down at Kate tiredly, his wincing not only from the pain but also from hurting her, her sobs pulling at his heart strings but there was a small part of him, a small part that couldnt help but think she was behind all of this when she said she knew. It upset him and reminded him of Jacks earlier phone call with Kate. What if she tipped them off and then just sat back on the sidelines and watched. Maybe her guilt was catching up with her now? Maybemaybe Not willing to let his heart be broken again and fall for this woman he asked her quietly as if dumping a cold bucket of water over her head...

"Did you tell them I was a double Kate?"

Kate looked back at Sawyer as if he just slapped her pulling back she met his gaze confused and angry stunned at first she asked him...

"What? No."

Her eyes growing greener by the minute as she thought about the lengths she went to get here tonight, and he thought she was the one who ratted him out??? Kate asked him back angrily...

"Did you?" She questioned wondering if he gave up anything about her involvement with the CIA in there, her voice angry now. Wondering what the hell she was thinking minutes earlier. Wondering how the hell he could get to her like he did and then take it all back so quickly. Too mad to even look at him Kate stood up and grabbed his arm, pulling him she demanded sternly...

"Come on, we're getting out of here."

Sawyer groaned as she yanked him along. Every muscle aching, every bone strained, his sores painful. But for Kate, he held it in.

"Fine genius, how the hell do you propose we kick this maximum security Popsicle stand then?"

Sawyer asked Kate with his brows raised and Kate looked back at him with contempt finally answering...

"Simple...we walk out."

She pulled the lever from under the door igniting an automatic release as the door slid open and Kate walked out. Not bothering to help Sawyer she was too pissed at him to even look at him. And she added as they walked along...

"And then Im dumping your ass off at the nearest curb."

Something about him made her blood boil and made her insides melt at the same time. Too stubborn to admit there was something more between them, Kate kept her head held high, and she gestured for him to stand back when they hit the entrance. Ready to make a diversion with him striking up a conversation with Mike, when she came into the room her heels clicking on the floor and Kate could find no trace of him.

She looked around for a moment in pause, her heels at rest as she called for him...

"Michael? Mike...Im done with him?"

Expecting to get a response, but she had none, and Kate looked back at where Sawyer was hiding cautiously. Finally gesturing for him to come out she backed up a couple steps and waved him out.

Darting him a look that said move, Sawyer slid out of hiding. He felt like something was off here, where was the guard? What happened to everyone? Jackass and his Commie bitch? He closed his eyes thinking this wasnt good. Whatever Kate had planned, whether she knew it or not, it was leading them into a trap. And Sawyer took her hand and instead of making a beeline for the main entrance, he veered with her off to the side.

But Kate pulled him back hissing...

"What are you doing?"

"Saving your ass Freckles." Sawyer growled tugging her back to his direction, and Kate rolled her eyes asking..."And you think you know this place better than I do? Forget it, this is the only way out!"

She tugged him one final time pulling on the door handle, expecting to be free and on the outside of this compound seeing the black veil of night in her reach when a voice from behind them asked...

"Leaving so soon?"

Kates body stiffened in fear as she let go of Sawyers hand and turned around to face none other than director Locke. Her voice left her and rocks sunk down to the pit of her stomach.

Sawyer grabbed Kates wrist in defense mode, stepping in front of her and he replied coolly...

"Yeah John boy, this place aint nearly as hospitable as you claimed. So if you dont mind, we'll just be on our way."

Locke actually smiled faintly as Sawyer tried to push past them, and then his back up arrived with their guns, pointing one at Sawyers head and the others at Kates he finally replied...

"I think you both need to give this place another chance, I insist." Locke replied as Kate swallowed, yanking her gun away, she met Lockes gaze as if stung by him. And then she looked to Sawyer knowing they were screwed. Believing it was now possible for ones whole entire world could crash and burn in one night.

"Your coming with us now." Locke demanded nodding in gesture back towards the cells as both men took each in a vice grip, guns cocked and ready to go off at any second.

Sawyer knew they were fucked the minute Kate opened that door. He closed his eyes in silent repentance, knowing they were stuck. Really stuck up shit creek without a paddle this time, Sawyer knew there was no going back now.
