Kate and Sawyer stroll along the beach. Didn't Sawyer ask for twenty minutes to get the heroin? The beach is more than ten minutes away from the hatch, no? Sure -- after all, it was light out on the beach when Locke told the gang about Ana-Lucia having a gun, and pitch-black when they finally made it to the bunker, albeit they were slowed by Locke on crutches. And now it's morning, so I guess Jack was taking care of Libby for a while. But still, why would Sawyer say twenty minutes if he knew a mission of mercy would take a lot more than that? But that's not what concerns Kate; she wants to know how Ana-Lucia got his gun in the first place. Is this the first time he's been asked that? He growls that she must have lifted it off him, which is not an answer that satisfies Kate, who asks how she could have done that. "Well, if I knew how she did it, she wouldn't be able to do it, now would she?" he snaps.
They arrive at Sawyer's tent, and he says, "After you." "I thought you were taking me to your stash," she says. Not too quick on the uptake this episode, is she? Sawyer sighs and asks if she has to make everything so difficult. He tells her just to go inside, which she does, puzzled. Inside, under tarp and sand and what looks like a piece of Oceanic Flight 815 wreckage, is a stash of guns, ammo and Virgin Mary statues. Kate's shocked: "You kept the guns here. All this time, right under you," she says. Sawyer smirks. "Fooled you, didn't I?" In hindsight, it's really kind of an Occam's Razor thing, isn't it? I mean, how would one guy keep tabs on the guns? He'd have to sleep sometime, right? Anyway, they exit the tent, and Hurley approaches them. Oh, shit, right. Hurley. He asks if they've seen Libby around. Sawyer lowers his head, and even Kate's at a loss for words. But, for real: how long did Libby have to vanish for, on an island with polar bears, monsters, wild boars, and Others, before Hurley decided to ask all hangdog if anyone's seen her?
