"If you touch my brother, I will fucking murder you!"

Octavia yelled, "Murphy! If you even touch either of them, you are dead!" I heard Murphy chuckle and I screamed, "John fucking Murphy! If you touch my brother, I will fucking murder you!" Now, I was taken seriously, seeing as I didn't hear any sound after I had screamed at him. 

Bellamy told Murphy through the walkie-talkie, "Murphy, I know you can hear me. All of our food and ammo are on the lower level, you are leaving us vulnerable to an attack, and I can't let that happen." Don't be an idiot, Bellamy.

Bellamy urged, "Come on, Murphy. You don't want to hurt them, you want to hurt me." What is he doing? Bellamy continued, "So what do you say? Why don't you let them go...trade them for me." 

Over the walkie-talkie, I heard garbled sounds that were followed by Murphy saying, "Yeah...you might wanna talk to your little boyfriend about that idea." I scowled as Murphy added, "Y'know, for someone so good at stealing, he isn't really coordinated on his feet." No, he is not. 

A couple of seconds later, Murphy told us, "I think he just threatened me, Blake. So you might want to hurry this up." Yeah, Nate probably threatened him. I took the walkie-talkie and pressed the button. 

I spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Murphy, what if I propose an idea?" Murphy replied, "Elaborate." I explained, "You take me for Jasper and my brother, leave Bellamy out of this. If not...well, I think you find yourself somewhere you don't want to be." 

Murphy asked, "Such as?" I replied, "Six feet in the ground." Murphy paused before saying, "I'll take up Bellamy's deal." I scowled and gave the walkie-talkie back to Bellamy as I waited. I moved to the side of the dropship ramp and waited for it to fall.

Once it falls, I hear Murphy yell, "Just you, Bellamy! Unarmed. Ten seconds or I'll put one in Nathan's leg." I scowled and waited till the last second. Murphy pushed the button to lift the dropship door back up and I immediately jumped into the dropship as soon as I was able. 

Bellamy snapped, "The deal was both of them!" Murphy shrugged, feigning innocence, "Oh yeah. Sorry...too late now." I announced, "Murphy, you're a solid negative fifty, on a scale of one to ten." 

Murphy whirled around, holding a knife to Nate's neck as Bellamy looked at me in surprise. Murphy snarled, "When did you get here? Didn't I say only Bellamy?" I cocked my head to the side, feigning innocence as I retorted, "I didn't hear anything like that." 

I moved my head back to its natural position as I looked at Bellamy. I rhetorically asked, "Did you?" Bellamy was about to answer when Murphy snapped, "Shut up!" Murphy turned back to Bellamy and pointed to a red seat belt with his gun, "Grab that and tie a loop." 

What the hell, Murphy? Are you really gonna make Bellamy hang himself in front of my brother? I snarled, baring my teeth as Bellamy made no move to get it. Murphy moved the gun close to Nate's head and pulled the trigger. 

The bullet shot and hit the dropship wall near me, too close to comfort. Over the walkie-talkie, I heard Octavia ask, "Bellamy? Are you, Ali, and Nate okay?" Murphy asked, "Want her to know you're okay?" waving around the walkie-talkie. He ordered, "Start tying."

"Bellamy, do you copy!?"

I yelled, "We're fine, Tavs!" as Bellamy grabbed the seat belt and started to tie a knot. Bellamy shouted, "Tell Raven to hurry her ass up! And get back to work!" Murphy stated, "Alright, that's enough," letting go of the button on the side of the walkie-talkie.
