All three of us stayed frozen in our spots. We each had worry spread across our faces. I sat there waiting for any indication that Bellamy was either alive or dead. We stayed there for a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity.

The feeling of relief ran through me when I heard his voice, it was muffled, but I could still tell it was him. He said something along the lines of that he was fine and to getting back to work, oh, and also for Raven to 'hurry her ass up'. I assumed he was talking through the radio to Octavia, who was still stationed outside the door.

I had to leave my radio with her because if I brought it, John might be able to hear it go off.

Jasper looked at both of us. His voice was hard as he spoke. "Get that door open."

Raven and I both nodded at him and started to crawl around, looking for the door circuit.

Crawling around, I noticed all the different parts of the ship. This would be really cool if we weren't looking for a way to save Bellamy from my brother.

"Wait, is that it?" I asked, pointing to what looked like a box. I assumed there's where the wires for the door were.

From over where she was, Raven let out a somewhat gleeful 'yes'. Both of us started crawling towards it. Reaching it, I leaned back on my knees and pried off the door.

"Yes, this is it." Raven confirmed.

"Thank God." I mumbled.

She started sifting through the wires, trying to pick out the one we needed. "The wiring's a mess."

I reached up and started to help her sift through the wires. Raven and I continued to look for the correct wire. The bad thing was, I noticed that the door wiring was mixed with the ignition wiring. Meaning, if we sparked the wrong one, all of us would die.

The next thing I knew, I could hear something dragging across the first level. I couldn't even begin to imagine what was going on up there. I wish I knew what was going on up there. Being down here not knowing what's going on is eating me alive right now.

Suddenly another gunshot rang out. The three of us turned our heads in the direction of the sound.

My breathing quickened for a moment before I got it under control. Raven also let out a breath before going back to work, me doing the same.

"We need to do this now." Jasper said impatiently.

"We're working as fast as we can. The wires for the door are mixed in with the ignition system. Sparking the wrong one would be bad." Raven explained.

Jasper let out a frustrated sigh from behind us. Hell, I do too. The longer it takes us to do this, the more time John has to kill Bellamy.

I could still hear their muffled voices from above us. From what I could tell, we are a little off to the side from where they are. We were close enough so that I could almost hear their voices clearly. I'm sure I could if I really listened, but I focused more on finding the door wire.

Raven and I continued to work in silence, something we seem to do when we work. Well, today, we were doing that for obvious reasons; we were both worried. We'd worked together enough times now to be moving in sync. I wasn't getting in the way as much as I used to.

Starting to lose focus a little bit, I could hear my brother clearly now. "You know I got to hand it to you, Bellamy. You got 'em all fooled, even my sister." My ears perked up at the mention of myself. I could hear John continue with venom in his voice. "My own flesh and blood doesn't trust me anymore. Y'know, I know you got her wrapped around your finger. You're manipulating her to believe you're this great hero. She's being blinded, you're blinding her."
