Thirty-Nine

I started placing bombs everywhere, bombs that had a timer. We set it to explode in 40 minutes. Figures that would be enough time to get Tuk out. If not, we might have to improvise. Lo'ak was in charge. I've never used an explosive in my life. He got them ready, as I placed them everywhere. You need two arms to prep an explosive, Lo'ak was the best choice. 

"How many have we got?" I ask. 

"Seventeen all put a lot of feet apart." Lo'ak said turning the timer on one more.

I place it in the center of the base. The center with all the technology of the Sky People. The last one will break the candle's back for sure. I look out the window. Oh no. It was happening the vision that I saw was playing out. I see Jake pleading for Tuk's life. I had to stop this. I broke a window.

"Dude what are you doing?!" Lo'ak asked. 

I jump out the window. I slide toward Quaritch. I had a knife in my hand. I land into a river. I manage to get to the service. I see that the river leads straight between Quaritch. If Jake could just keep Quaritch talking, I can; not kill, but stop him. I swim, badly because my one arm was holding a knife. I started to sink. I really didn't plan this well.

A blue looking dolphin with bonds swam toward me. Parts of it were glowing blue. I match the bond. It swims me up. I take out a breath.

"Get me in close." I whisper.

It nods. It brings me in.

"Quaritch, please, let her go you can have me." Jake Sully pleaded.

"Nah. You've caused enough trouble for me. You cost me a lot of lives. I think we should make this even." He said. 

He took the knife. He almost plunged it into Tuk's chest, but my knife hit him first. He winces. He drops the knife. Jake grabs her and pulls her back.
