"Raising your gun to me isn't what scared me, Bellamy."
"Then what was?"
"That you told me you loved me just a few hours before."

"I saw we run two man patrols round the clock starting now." Miller suggests.
"We'll do that but we should be safe here." My dad tells us as we all sit around the small fire.
"Are we safe from the blockade?" Bryan asks warily.
"As long as we stay on this side of the line, they won't touch us." I answer as I rub my hands together, trying to warm them up.
"They're grounders, you really think they're gonna play by the rules?" Bryan retorts as I roll my eyes.
"If you want to sound like Pike, why didn't you just stay?" I sneer as he looks slightly taken aback.
"Hey, Pike will want you dead now too." Miller tells him. "We take him out, we can go home."
"We take him out, then the grounders lift the blockade." Harper reminds us as I sigh and turn my head to look at Bellamy who was already looking at me. I hold his stare, wondering if he realises now just how big of a mistake he's made.
"That's right. We become the 13th clan again." I see Bellamy shake his head at my father words, letting me know he still sided with Pike on this. "That was the terms."
"Lexa's terms." I turn my head to Sinclair who had just spoke. "If what Bellamy said is true and she's dead, how do we know the next commander will honour them?" Sinclair wonders, relaying information Bellamy had told us earlier.
"One problem at a time." My dad says as I sigh.
"Bellamy? Come in? It's Monty, I'm in trouble. Please say you still have your radio." I hear Monty speak over the radio that sat beside me as I quickly grab it.
"If we respond, Pike might be listening." Sinclair points out.
"Go to channel 7." I turn my head to Bellamy. "'Please say you still have your radio'... It's 7 words after after the word trouble." We all look at him sceptically, not sure whether to trust him or not. "It's code. Go to 7."
I look at my dad as he glances between me and Bellamy before giving me a small nod. I change the radio to channel 7 and bring it to my mouth.
"Monty, what's wrong?" I say as I wait for a response.
"Pike knows that I helped you get out." He says as I press my lips together for a moment.
"Can you get to the drop ship?" I ask.
"I think so."
"Good. Go there. A few of us will go and bring you in." I tell him. "And stay off the radio."
"Hold on, what if it's a trap?" Harper points out.
"That's why I'm gonna go alone." My dad says as he stands up.
