"What's taking Bellamy so long?" Grace mutters from her spot between Jasper and Monty. Jasper still had the gun, This time hidden behind his body. Monty was weaponless, unlike Miller who stood next to him with a wooden bar held behind his back and out of sight.
Their plan was to link up again, and to only use the gun when they got a good chance. What qualified as a good chance? Grace didn't know, but she didn't have the gun so she guessed that Jasper would have that question laid heavily on his shoulders until the time came.
"I don't know," Jasper whispers. The redhead could see that his hands shook behind him, the metal practically slipping from his sweaty hands. She was actually sort of relieved Bellamy had not trusted her with the pistol. She never was good with a gun and she certainly didn't plan on learning right now. She wonders for a moment about taking the pistol from him so he wouldn't have to feel the heavy burden of it, but then she decides against it when she realizes that if they wanted out of the mountain alive then the person holding their only good weapon had to be able to use it correctly.
"Maybe they caught him," Miller, as always, says with the upmost positivity.
"No," Jasper states. "He'll figure out a way, I know he will."
"Damn right he will," Grace sends them all pointed looks. "It's Bellamy."
"Guys, it's already been four hours," Monty sighs. "The guards will be back any second."
"They're going to take someone else," Harper mumbles, quietly. Everyone could see the terror in her eyes as she said this. Her more than anyone knew how much the treatments hurt, which only scared her all the more. Grace would volunteer herself in a second if Tsing even tried to take Harper out of that room.
The redhead could try and hold off as long as she could on the table. She would try and fight through the intense pain so she could buy the others time, which was all they needed for Bellamy to go through with whatever he has planned. She could do it, even if it hurt her.
"No. Listen to me," Jasper lowers his voice to a whisper. "Everyone, we stick to the plan. They're not taking anyone else out of this room without a fight!"
As if on cue, the buzzer of the door unlocking sounds like the war horn at the beginning of a battle. "Get ready."
The same guards, minus Bellamy and Isaac Grace notices almost as soon as they enter, their guns raised directly in front of them and towards the gaggle of people at the end of the dorm. Grace connects her arms with Monty and Jasper as she becomes more determined than ever to keep her friends from becoming Tsing's new patients.
