Later that night, as the sun was setting, Echo and Emori ran back into the cave, looking both worried and relieved.

"Come on," Echo said to us. "We have to go."

"What why? What's going on?" I asked hopping off the top of the rover where I was sitting.

The two girls glanced at each other, communicating something with their eyes. "The prisoner's transport ship is back. We saw Abby and Kane getting off it," Echo explained.

Abby and Kane? They were in the bunker.

"How?" Harper asked.

"We don't know, but if they are out, that means Bellamy did it, he got the bunker open." Echo smiled. "We need to get a closer look, watch the camp for anyone else." The rest of us nodded in agreement, gathering our things before making our way towards the camp, leaving the rover behind.

I held my gun close to my side as I hid in a bush next to Madi. It had been a while since I held the small metal weapon in my hand so it felt almost foreign to me. I checked the amo to see that it was fully loaded. I let out a breath and went back to watching the camp, glancing down at the small girl next to me every so often.

The sound of heavy footsteps put all of us on edge as we waiting for the person they belongs to, to show themselves. It didn't take long due to them running like their life depended on it. The one and only John Murphy came speeding down a path, catching all of us off guard. He and Raven were supposed to be in space, preparing to kill the prisoners if anything went wrong in the plan.

Echo was quick to react, calling out bird noises to distract him so he would stop running. It worked, he stopped in his spot, looking over his shoulder. She jumped out of her hiding spot, covering Murphys mouth so he wouldn't yell. "Don't make any more noise," she ordered before letting him go.

"Oh thank god," he breathed, holding onto his side. "Raven knew you guys would be watching the camp. We gotta go now." Echo let out a whistle, our cue to come out of hiding.

"Wheres Raven?" Emori asked walking up to her ex.

Murphy shook his head. "She's still in there."

"You left her?! Why am I not surprised?" She snapped crossing her arms.

"She made a deal to get me out."

Monty stepped closer to Murphy, examining the thick metal band around his next. "I that a shock collar?"

He reached his hand out to touch it but Murphy grabbed his wrist. "Trust me, I wouldn't do that."

"What about Abby and Kane?" I asked, "We saw them being led off the ship."

Murphy looked at us confused. "You did?"

Echo nodded. "It means Bellamy got the bunker open. Did he not come back?"

"What about Clarke?" The young girl standing next to me asked stepping forward.

From the look at Murphy's face, he was even more confused than before. "Who's the hobbit? You know what, never mind. We just gotta get a warning to Bellamy before they fire their missiles."

"Missiles?" Harper questioned.

"Yeah as in fiery death from above. Raven said we need to get into radio range. Where's the rover?"

Madi was the first to answer. "Bear cave. I'll drive." She must have seen the look on Murphy's face, it was the same look of worry I had when she first said she would drive because she joked with him about there not being any bears, even though she knew that wasn't the reason for his worry.
