(A/N: HA! I updated sooner! –Does a happy dance- (even though this will be a very short chapter…it explains a lot…) Anyway thanks for the reviews and I hope you keep reviewing as more and more of you questions are answered in another exciting chapter of Lost!)

Disclaimer: …

"My life is what?" Nel asked suspiciously.

"Shh…" Whispered Sara and looked around at the rapidly darkening streets, and then started talking again, "we have to get to my apartment,"

"But…" and Nel was unceremoniously dragged off the streets and into a nearby apartment building

"Neil, Benny," Sara nodded to the concierges as she continued dragging Nel into an elevator

"Now what…?" Nel began but was again shushed and pulled into an apartment. Quickly Sara double locked the doors, and closed the curtains. Switching on a light she looked even more tired, and wan, but she was alert as ever.

"Ok," she motioned to the couch in the corner. Nel sat down and stared in wonder at the girl who had just brought her into a little three roomed home, for suspicious reasons. Her life in danger? What the hell…?

"My name is Sara…"

"Yeah I kinda figured that out," Nel said exasperatedly

"I suppose you're wondering why I brought you here." Sara finished

"Well yeah!" Nel exclaimed, "And the fact why you know me would be nice too,"

Sara sighed and started her story, "You might have realized that your story of heroism hasn't been really told, right?"

Nel looked at her curiously. It was true; when she came here no one had said anything about she and her friends beating anything. It was like they closed off contact with the rest of the galaxy. Without a word, she nodded,

"Well that was because of the company I work for, Gravi-Corp. Around here it controls most of the industries. And it's started to push its way into politics. They are the ones who said that it wasn't right for the world to know about us being created by a 4-D world and that we should just isolate ourselves from the rest of the universe."

"Uh…ok…what does this have to do with me and my friend's safety?" Nel asked

"Nobody really knows what Gravi-Corp does. Does it remind you of another certain company?"

"…" Nel was blank and suddenly a light bulb flashed, "Sphere!" she exclaimed

"Correct,"

"But still…what does that have to do…?"

"Don't you see? They're going to make another Universe!" Sara stopped. Nel was stunned at the information she had just been told.

"Another universe, you mean like what the 4-D people did for us?"

"Yes,"

"So how do you know this?"

"I told you I work for the company. I'm not that high ranked, or important, but I have some skills at finding out information; Gravi-Corp heard of your adventures and decided it was an investment. Greed in this company is rampant and they've started working on finalizing the program. They call it, 'World Class Simulation.'

"But why is my life in danger? Those two guys…Dean and Carl? They said that their mission was to find me and my friends and then kill us. What for?"

"You and your friends are the only ones who know about how our universe was created. You guys are the only ones who know how to stop the process. Gravi-Corp can't afford to have that happen. So they decided to dispose of you. Dean and Carl are in charge of that department," she added bitterly

"But you didn't want that to happen?"

Sara sighed, "I can't bear to think about how when that program goes 'out of whack' like what the 4-D's thought when we learned Symbology,"

"They'll destroy the new galaxy won't they?"

"Yes, we can't let that happen!"

"Alright, I'm with you," Nel was stunned by the sound of her words but made up her mind to help. She too couldn't stand back and just watch while an evil money making plot was underway.

"Ok but first you may want to rest. My home isn't very big…" Sara looked around at the shabby and bear apartment and sighed, "But you can sleep on the couch,"

"Wait what about my friends?" Nel asked worriedly

"We have to find them. If they fall into the hands of the company boss…" she shuddered, "now please, get some rest. Tomorrow I'll show you the building and we may find your friends." She gave her a small smile, "if I've read their files correctly your group is extremely attached and will go to any lengths to save each other." And with that Sara left the room.

Nel lay down on the couch but couldn't sleep. She wondered if her friends were coming for her. It was true that they would never leave her behind 'just like at Kirlsa Training Facility,' she thought to herself, smiling. No Fayt and the group would never leave her. She closed her eyes and fell fast asleep. For the first time, she didn't feel so alone or frightened.

(A/N: Yes I know it's a very short chapter…but again it explains A LOT so back off! Please review and I hope you liked this chapter!)
