Tragedy ✧ John Murphy

• Chapter 31 •

Third Person's POV

No words were spoken in the group until they arrived at their destination. They all crouched down behind trees and logs to stay hidden as they looked out at what they thought was the grounder prison camp.

"This is it. Told you I'd find it," Murphy said, looking over at Bellamy who brought his gun up and looked into camp through its scope.

"See nothing but grounders." Bellamy told them, but Finn didn't believe him. He needed to see for himself, so he grabbed the gun out of Sterling's hands and looked through the scope.

"Our people aren't here." Bellamy realized, but Finn wasn't so sure. "Wait a minute. They've got stuff from our dropship."

"So maybe they know where our friends are," Bellamy spoke. "Or maybe they killed them already," Murphy couldn't help but comment. Julia ignored his words, not allowing herself to go down that train of thoughts. Clarke, Jasper, Monty, Harper, everyone had to be okay. They had to be.

"Son of a bitch," Finn suddenly cursed, causing all his friends to glance over at him in concern. "What is it?" Julia questioned, glancing back at the camp, though she couldn't see anything in a lot of detail like the two with the gun scopes could.

"The guy with the one eye. Around his neck." Finn answered and Bellamy immediately looked through the scope at what Finn said to look at. "What am I looking at?" Bellamy asked, not understanding the significance of what he was seeing.

"He's got Clarke's watch. It was her father's." Finn answered and Julia couldn't help but have her heart beat faster at his words. "She wouldn't give that up without a fight." Bellamy said what he, Finn, and Julia were thinking.

"Neither will we." Finn spoke, determination clear in his voice. Bellamy looked through his scope for another moment before lowering it.

"Okay. You're with me," Bellamy looked at Finn before looking at Monroe, Sterling, and Julia, "You three, stay here out of sight. This thing goes south, take out the other grounders, but don't shoot the grounder with the watch. Copy?"

"Copy," The three that he spoke to repeated before Monroe looked over towards the sixth member of their group. "What about Murphy?"

"Yeah, do I get a gun now?" Murphy questioned Bellamy who had a slight smirk grow on his face. "Something like that," Bellamy said before pulling Murphy to go with him and Finn. Julia furrowed her eyes in slight confusion as Murphy glanced back at her, both unsure of what her brother meant.

But then they were out of their sight, so Julia just shrugged her shoulders a little to herself before positioning her gun in front of her, despite the fact that she didn't have a scope and couldn't really see the grounders all that well, ready to shoot if needed.

Bellamy, Finn, and Murphy managed to get the grounder with the watch knocked unconscious and the group had followed Finn to a small underground bunker that he knew of to question the grounder.

"We're gonna do this again and this time you're gonna stop screwing with us. Where did you find this?" Bellamy held out the watch in front of the grounder who was tied down to a chair.

"I told you. I found it outside your camp." The grounder answered yet again. "He's lying. She would never take it off voluntarily." Finn said and they all knew he was right about his latter sentence.

"Where is the girl who was wearing this watch?" Finn's voice raised angrily as he shoved the watch in the grounder's face. "I never saw a girl." The grounder stuck to his story.
