One of Them

The day the french woman gave Sayid a man she had captured, I thought to myself, this island can't get any stranger, but I was wrong. She said that he would lie for a very long time, but she was absolutely sure that he was one of them! He told everyone that his name was Henry Gale and that he was from Minnesota. Apparently he was traveling with his wife in a hot air balloon around the world. Now, who travels like that nowadays, and more importantly, where is his wife? At least Sayid is smart. He's locking him up in the safe inside the hatch just to be cautions. Everyone is trying to be extremely secretive about what's going on, but words on this beach-front travel fast. Sayid has already tortured this man, but his story remains the same. He claims to have buried his own wife after they crashed on the island, she apparently got sick and died of a mysterious illness she caught on the island. When Ana-Lucia talked with him she convinced Henry to draw a map to his balloon. If his story checked-out he would definitely be accepted among the fellow survivors. I overheard her talking and saw her secretly show Sayid and Charlie the map, and they took off when nobody was looking!
