The Economist

At the helicopter clearing, Sayid crosses to Naomi's body and closes her eyes. Before he covers her with a blanket, he notices a silver bracelet on Naomi's wrist that reads, "N, I'll always be with you. R.G." Sayid makes a deal with Miles and Lapidus: he will bring Charlotte back safely from where Locke is holding her if Lapidus will fly him to their boat. They agree. Sayid confers with Jack, Kate and Juliet. He shows them the picture of Desmond and Penny that Naomi brought with her. He thinks Desmond might be able to shed some light on the freighter people's agenda. Juliet heads back to the beach for Desmond. Jack wants to go with Sayid to get Charlotte, but Sayid says no. Jack isn't the right man for the mission. Instead, Sayid takes Miles. Jack doesn't trust Locke and asks Kate to go with them just in case. He knows Sawyer will stop Locke from harming Kate.

Sayid, Kate and Miles reach the barracks, but it's empty. Then they hear banging coming from one of the houses. They search inside and find Hurley bound and gagged in a closet. He says they left him, that Locke has "gone off the reservation." Locke's holding Charlotte hostage, he said Walt told him to kill Naomi, and he thinks the freighter people are there to kill them. He turns to Miles and asks, "Are you?" Miles ignores the question. Hurley says he overheard them say they were going to Ben's house before they left…
